• 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.

some very telling research into what people believe and what is actually true



In the interests of fostering optimism, perhaps a copy of this post should go to the End Times Forum and another to the Preppers? :)

Very true, few preppers feel they have good odds of surviving 6 months out at their bug out locations, and even less chance of enjoying it, while most have had decades living in society, maybe they should focus on fixing the existing society.

But then maybe they just like feeling special

Did you ever see Wicked? Your sig reminds me of a line said by the Wizard: "Where I come from, we believe in all sorts of things that aren't true...we call it history."

Thank you jayem, I'll have to watch 'Wicked' on your recommendation.

My sig until today was HISTORY IS LYING ABOUT THE PAST

I've just decided to change it to 'Every regulation is a good regulation'.
