  • 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.

Fun date ideas

Sushi Bar-She almost threw up from eating seaweed and the other girl wore skeleton gloves while eating dinner.

Pool hall-Impressed ex-fiancee by not asking her what song to put on and I put on a song that she loves by the Dixie Chicks and the girl that wore skeleton gloves told me that her and her roommate have to promise to not cast any spells on each other when they shoot pool. I won that night against her and not because of any spells but because yes, I am good...somewhat especially now that I can jump the ball and make the ball I am getting to in the pocket...as long as it is within reasonably short distance.

Steak and Shake parking lot-Ok perv, not because of that...skeleton glove girl and I had a really cool time eating food and just hanging out.

Fine Dining-Did this by accident. I am that guy that judges places to go by the name on the wall and a little research on the internet. What can I say...I am a junkie for advertisement. Make fun of me all you want, I am not changing. We get there and they ask us, "Do you have a reservation?" Me, "Uh no" and me glancing at her. She had hearing problems...she was tone deaf, so if she didn't see me face to face while talking, she couldn't hear, I felt bad for her but it was also cool to always look someone in the eye when talking. So I had to explain afterwards and they woman asked us, "How did you hear about this place?" Me, "I saw the sign and I had to check out a place with that kind of name." We actually had a blast. Two people with tattoos sitting in this overly fancy small little restaurant. She gave me crap because of how non-reformed I am, in that good/fun way and I think she had to watch me clean up my language because I am thinking...this area is different. I like my elbows on the table, and too many silverware seems like dirtying the dishes up to me and I hate doing the dishes. The help loved us because we were so easy going with them and I gave them a really good tip. We stayed till close and then went to a really nice pub downtown.

Kind of depends on whether it's a first date or whatever....


In my teen years, I'd typically suggest "Golf 'n Stuff" (a place with min. golf, go-carts, etc.,etc., etc.), time at the beach, bowling or maybe even going to a baseball game. Fun stuff that allowed lots of time for talk and getting to know each other.

These days, I'm more apt to suggest dinner - a long dinner, enjoyable, relaxing dinner. I have a couple of faves on the beach. But I'm not above Golf 'N Stuff, either! The last date I went on was to a fun dinner/mystery theater. It was a fun evening but we sat at tables of 8 so it didn't get a lot of change for personal talk.

One of these days, I want to do some tailgating date. Get in the bed of my truck and have a picnic somewhere either in the countryside or overlooking the city and my spare tire be the table.

(You all think I am probably joking around...I am not. I seriously want to do this but this may be after the relationship is 'established' lol )

That sounds fun! And I had to read that twice because when I read "spare tire" my mind translated that to "love handles" ^_^

Mountain climbing would be great fun for a date. I think a high mountain top would be a dramatic place to propose too - where Earth meets sky - just seems very mythic.

I've always wanted to have a proper old-fashioned picnic - one with a large tablecloth spread out with plates, spoons and teacups - pork pies, sandwiches, cake, coffee, ice-cold lemonade in a park surrounded by nature, bees humming around, squirrels running up trees....etc - I read too many Victorian novels methinks :p

I'm pretty simple - coffee, dinner, lunch, a walk in the park, watching the sunset or stars, talking a stroll on the beach, a nice picnic, a movie and cuddling, a roadtrip somewhere new or maybe a get together or party with friends or family. I'm not into big, elaborate dates, since they defeat the purpose of trying to get to know the human across from me or beside me.

Medieval Times :D That was freakin' epic. If only the guy had been as awesome as the date...

Also, going to a fancy Brazilian steakhouse and my first real opera. The guy was rich, so I wouldn't expect more dates like that, but it was amazing!

Dates I've always wanted to go on: all-day hike, spend an afternoon wandering around a museum hand-in-hand, spend a whole day screaming and laughing at an amusement park.
