CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I'm not technically going to finish high school... no diploma. But I'm taking physics, trig, and analytic geometry this year in high school.
homeschoolers, seriously, I think... for the most part anyway .... have more knowledge than most kids in schools. At the very least, more than public schools. My Sunday school teacher got all the way through high school and couldn't read, and he actually pretty intelligent (he learned English grammar/reading/algebra outside of school...)
Ah well. homeschooling is kinda fun
Hmmm. the college I'm going to now is actually really funny. The teacher gave a quiz a few weeks ago. Almost no one knew much of the vocab it was over. So he trashed the quiz.
I think I might have mentioned that before
And my music theory teacher said that his midterms and finals were carried out like this: he gives it to you, you do it and give it back, if you didn't get it he gives it back to you .... etc ....
For like the first month and a half I didn't have a single test or quiz in college, on the 2nd day of chemistry I had a quiz (last year), on the 4th day of physics this year I had a quiz..... it's pretty funny. (chemistry/phyiscs = homeschooled)

/me thinks that part of the reason sport peoples are so, er, unknowledgeable, is 'cause they spend most of their time in the gym....
/me knows that not all football players are dumb though - Steve Young was a lawyer.

Hi Jesaiah!
Are you planning to become a pastor?
I have a full time job designing web pages for the government. I LOVE it! It wasn't what I started out studying in school, but when I finally began listening to God (to be honest, He closed every door that I had open and I didn't have a choice - I HAD to listen to Him), He showed me that he had a much bigger and better plan for me than I had for myself. I went from a nursing major to a CS major and have never been happier! I also do a little free-lance web/graphic design work. It's awesome! God is soo good!
