• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

DYK : The term "the whole 9 yards" came from WWII fighter pilots in the South
Pacific. When arming their airplanes on the ground, the .50 caliber
machine gun ammo belts measured exactly 27 feet, before being loaded
into the fuselage. If the pilots fired all their ammo at a target, it
got "the whole 9 yards."

I knew that sarcasm is by and large based on what a person really means. Something I get in trouble for all the time.

DYK that I started this exact thread about a month ago and nobody wanted to play it? I think it's title is even the same.

DYK that the Pacific Ocean is three times larger than the largest continent?

Did you know that the mother that Jack Nicholson always knew as his mother was actually his grandmother? And the sister he had always known as his sister was actually his mother? Did you know that he didn't know this until some reporter found out and reported it?

I did dude! But, there is a point when nurturing takes on a pathetic neediness. Know what I mean? There is only so much you can do.
Sometimes you just have to cut your losses and move on. Know what I mean James?


DYK that Thomas Jefferson, the American president aka "Old Hickory" was Scots Irish?
