• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Help, my niece is being taught evolution!

Sorry, CFPetRescuer15. Sometimes my emotions get the better of me-- I am human as well.

But...if it thinks like an idiot, writes posts like an idiot, clutches onto strawmen like an idiot....we have... an idiot.
That's sure a funny sort of apology. Not in the best tradition of the EAC. No kittens for your dinner tonight!

I can't even think of one person I could tolerate being married to, much less multiple people. Bizarre.
Marriage is not a question of who you can live with, it is a question of who you can not live without. As least that is what I was told.

You were told wrong ;) Not really the forum or thread for it, but if you go into marriage 'needing' someone that badly then you are creating a parasitic relationship that will eventually have you both resenting each other (you for feeling that they have power over you and them for feeling that you are an extra appendage sort of thing).

Spoken like a true American, which is why I am not married to an American. I learned my lesson there the first time around.
