  • 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.

Personally, I just like to have my own set of 'phones to myself. I would gladly share, though, if need be...just wipe them with a damp, soapy cloth or something if you're that worried about it.

I can't wear earbuds. According to a doctor (what do they know really?) my ears are deformed and earbuds won't work.

I use over-the-ear headphones and I have shared them with strangers, friends and family. I also am willing to share my shoes, hair ties and deodorant- I draw the line at my credit card though ;)

Hmm.
I do not mind sharing ear buds, primarily because I always hang them over my ear rather than inserting them. Also my preference for rigid head phones which pretty much exclude the possibility of sharing at the same time. Actually no, I don't really care providing the ears are not leaking some serious waxy discharge. I can't be dealing with that.

earbuds aren't something i really share much but then i don't walk around with buds in all the time. I don't buy cheap ones so I'd rarely let someone else use em, but they have silicone ear inserts so if the occasion came up they are easy enough to wash and put back on the earbud.

i have a decent set of over ear buds that i like to use as well so i often keep the ear buds with them in case i have to share i give those to other people

depends on who it is. Personally I hate earbuds anyway and only use them if they're my only option for myself or if I'm listening with a friend on their ipod or something. Actually I can only think of one person in the last 12 months I've shared earbuds with. so not a huge concern for me I guess.

I hate earbuds. I don't know if it's because of my skin issues or what, but they feel very wrong. So, I won't use them or share them. I probably wouldn't share them with anyone but trusted people, if I did use them, because it'd just seem icky to me.
