  • 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.

How many languages do you speak or wished that you spoke? I had french in high school but no good at it. I know a police officer that speaks six languages fluently.
English, Spanish, French, Russian, German, and Italian.

I know English, Cantonese and Chinese - three of them - fluently.

But I like to learn French. I love French - I learnt it for a year - and I love the language.
French is a great language. It's the second language for like half the world population. It's even better if you go to France and live there for a few months.

If you decide to study French seriously, beware that the grammar is not simple : all the nouns have a gender (masculine or feminine), and the verbs have nearly infinite endings.

Duh -- but if you already speak Cantonese and Chinese you probably already know about that. :doh:

only one fluently. I was learning several so I do know a bit of Fench, German, and Spanish, but I got lazy so I've pretty much dropped them. I'm thinking about taking them up again when and if I ever get to college. I am also planning on learning Hebrew and Biblical Greek, and sign language would be cool to learn as well :)

I'm pseudo-fluent in speaking English. I'm a pretty decent at the written communication aspect though. Other than that, I know about 10 Spanish words from high school.

I would very much like to learn to read and write New Testament Greek and Old Testament Hebrew. That would rock. I may end up learning to speak Spanish someday as well... might be moving to a community with a bit more diversity than Altoona, WI. Ha.
