  • 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 go to a very small (700 students) Christian college. Sometimes it seems like a lot of us know more about our friends from facebook than from actually knowing them, which is sad. :p More and more conversations are, "Yeah, they broke up." "Really?" "Yup. Facebook says so."

lol

I think that's one thing I don't really appreciate about facebook at all -- the notes thing. I've seen people write really hurtful things about people right there online where anyone and everyone can see it. Which is sad. It's the same with xanga and livejournal and myspace, but it's annoying because 1.) if you have an issue with someone, why can't you just maybe talk to them in person, or even on the phone? And 2.) facebook wasn't made as a myspace-type site when it first went up.

But what're you gonna do? You know? ::shrugs and moves on::

A relationship isn't official until it's on facebook :p

I think facebook is a good way to keep in contact with old friends. It's good with getting in contact with classmates too if you have a question. I also like posting pictures, I probably do that more than anyting. I just get on once or twice a day for about 15 minutes just to see what's going on, I'm not really obsessed with it like I was when it first came out.

Facebook is amazing, especially during the summer when I don't see my friends from college... or when I am at school and I don't see my friends at home. It's a good way to keep in touch... although now with all of the added features it is getting more and more like myspace...
