  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I am not going to define a specific income bracket...

but what Africa most needs is not more money, it needs political and economic reform and for the West to desist from stealing its best and brightest.

Yes well you're changing the subject now. Unfortunately the odious 'cult of celebrity' which society suffers from is the reason pop stars speak out on poverty, for some reason being even a minor celebrity means that your opinion is automatically more valid.

I happen to agree that throwing money at the problem will not make it disappear. What Africa needs first and foremost is less corruption, and the West can do a lot to help see this to fruition.

I agree with your disdain for celebrity, but no. the reason that the pop stars speak out is because it is good publicity and good for their careers.

Reality isn't as black and white as you wish it to be, I find it extremely tiresome when people refuse to acknowledge that there may be some semblence of goodness and integrity in people (even celebrities!). All of mankind is made in God's image, and as such all of mankind is capable of displaying some Christlikeness.

ok, back to the frog...

which is more annoying... crazy frog? or ocean finance?

I have to go with the latter... I can not stand that woman who assures us that they don't "babble you with science or whatever" :mad: babble you with science??? I am calling them for a loan, not alchemy lessons! which loan companies DO 'babble' you with science???

DL -"Hello, Direct Line"
me - "Hi... I'd like a loan"
DL - "Right, ok... well, energy, is equal to the mass times by the constant speed of light, times by the constant speed of light. so if you have 1 kg mass of atoms, the energy stored in the..."
