  • 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 have mentioned that it is my syntax that makes me missunderstood...

Concerning my dialact, I speak poetic english.. I got my english and its syntax from television shows like fresh prince, step by step and such series furtermore music from the sixties, and poetic lyrics, and finally christain books like Conciece Guide for todays religions by Josh Mcdowell, And also the bible...

Its a horrible cover on Bob Dyland, that I recorded on my computer... it is me singing in english! And its me on that picture!

If i don't makes sense, you could instead of picking on that dialect - ask if i can clarify!

This is in response to those lacking arguments and refute my english as if that was relevant!

I got the second highest grade in english, from highscool/college

I agree that it's quite petty for people to pick on you for your English, rather than focussing on your arguments themselves. It's an ad hominem. And, let's face it, your English is very good (albeit not perfect), and you're probably better at English than most British and Americans are at any other foreign language :thumbsup:

Даже я - я не говорю по-русский очень хорошо :p

I forget to pinch out commas and question marks sometimes... It is here I seem to be incoherent....

Bob Dylan actually sang "If today was not" instead of "if today not was" or the other way around if i am not mistaken!! I don't know the correct grammar here!

And as long as the language is taught in universities, i continue to see it as science.. Not natural science, but still science! I am just protecting myself from people bashing on my language..

Wahr, ich sage euch, und hört zu meine stimme, mein Deautche ist klein!
