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 have it. I don't really have any interest. Facebook is enough social networking for me, and Google+ currently doesn't seem to offer anything drastically different or that Facebook doesn't offer.

I've had it for close to a week now and I think it's a good setup and will only continue to improve over time.

I have it but I have only used it once or twice. It's (to me) confusing and I can't really get the hang of it. But maybe I'll go back and try it again.

Interesting. It seems like it is more popular in Singles. Or maybe it isn't, but they had an awful long thread about it.

I have it and I still prefer FB over G+, but I think G+ takes some getting used to. I probably wasn't thrilled with FB at first either. It took me awhile to switch over completely to that from myspace. Who knows? it may be the same thing with this.

Don't have it and don't care if I don't have it - for a while anyway. I am not the type to have to rush out and get the "latest and greatest" of something. So, I will wait until FB is a wasteland like Myspace was before converting.

I just started it the other day, the awesome Shelly sent me an invite
So far it's not bad, noticing a few things that bug me like posts in my stream seem to randomize and not go by date of post a lot of times. But I think it has potential.
I got guilted into starting a FB account by family, I still miss myspace really. Figured worth checking this new one out see what all the hype is.

Thanks, Nakor.
I was just in this forum yesterday and didn't see this thread. Weird. Anyway, I love G+. I like it so very much more than Facebook. My problem with Fb are all of the annoying apps (happy meter, games, etc) and I don't like that it tells someone when I friend someone, like something, or post on someone's wall, etc. G+ doesn't have that.
G+ is a tad confusing at first, though I've posted helpful tips that were shared by my friends. Speaking of, I love the sharing aspect. On Fb, you can share links, but on G+ you can share even witty posts...though you can also disable reshare, if you don't want people resharing your stuff. To me, it's basically a cross between Twitter and Fb. The people who enjoy it the most (like me) seem to follow a certain pattern. We add to our circles a bunch of people who just post interesting stuff: photographers and artists (I have a circle just for them), famous people (celebrities like Wil Wheaton or just famous within G+ because of great and/or helpful posts that they make), interesting commenters (I read some comments people make on interesting posts and that led me to circle 3 people-one of who is great and I could so see us being friends if we lived near each other), and of course friends (for me, CFers and my sister).
I also really love that there is no wall posting on G+, so I don't have public (well, to those in my circles) conversations or profile clutter. People can make private posts to me and it appears nicely in my stream and I don't have to go to a separate location (like an inbox) for giving or receiving messages.
I'm still a little paranoid about how much info Google gathers, so I haven't posted any pics or personal info about myself yet. Probably pointless since I have gmail, use the google search engine and chrome, but oh well.
ETA: I hear Google is adding games (especially Zynga, since they invested with them), but hopefully they handle games better than Fb. I'm hoping that games will have their own section in the stream, like "Incoming" (where posts of those who follow you, but are not followed by you are posted) has.
I know that Fb has lists. I have made good use of them. But I still like G+ circles better. They are easier to use and makes my stream very manageable as I follow more people.
