  • 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.

Don't believe the hype?

I turned 40 last year. I found that through most of my 30's I wasn't bothered until I hit 37 and thought "heck, I'm gonna be 40 soon". But the closer I got to the big day the less bothered I became about it. I treated as just another day - well I tried but my wife surprised me with a birthday trip to Rome. Right out of the blue, two days beforehand. So I enjoyed the holiday, loved Rome, left the UK as 39 and returned as 40.

Still, she turns 40 in a few years time so I'll get a chance to surprise her!

I only wished I'd have had the time to worry about it five years ago when I turned 40. It's not a big deal unless you make it one. Our time here is nothing compaired to what awaits us. So dont sweat the small stuff and enjoy your time here on Earth as you prepair to take one more lap aroud the Sun!
