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.

I just checked off 23-24 years old on the inside. I'm full of the joy of the Lord, which is my strength. That keeps me feeling young!!!

I voted 10 - 14. 
The older we get, the wiser we get, but I don't feel any older really that I did when I was that age!

It took me 62 years to get to where I am today. I worked for it, I endured for it, I suffered for it, and
after I finally made it to the place where I wanted to get off, God smiled and handed me everything I had
ever wanted, moreover, everything I would never have dared to dream, and He has been laughing ever since.
I have no desire to be any other age. I am about as smart as I can bear it. I am as loving as my heart is
free. And I have pain every day and I don't care, cause God proved Himself when He didn't have to do it, and
when I accused Him of hating and torturing me for 49 years. He has my faithful soul as my gift to Him,
nothing will ever change that, throughout eternity.

WOO-HOO! Thought I was the only one, lol. I'm 50, but wow, I feel about half that inside, which gets weird sometimes. I trust my daughter to keep me up with the music and such, I love it!! I think when I meet the Lord, He will be looking at a 25-y.o. at heart!! I see ppl my age and think, wow, they're so old, forgetting we're the same age! LOL

I chose 22 - it's odd, but that's the age i physically was when my life took a dramatic change. I've always felt younger than my real age, and people often find it hard to believe i AM my real age - mostly because i look a few years younger than I am, but possibly partly in the way I behave etc as well.
Anway life was great at 22 - and while it's had many difficulties since then and i felt like my life was on hold for a while, i've come out the other side a better person - and that's what counts, regardless of how old i am or how old i feel like i am.
Physically sometimes I feel like i'm 80 because of some health issues, but mentally - yeah, i'm still young and enthusastic

I'm going to be 30 in a little under a month, and things are looking up.
I would not want to be 14-22 again! Parents' rules, terrible body image, not taken seriously by others etc. I'd just as soon forget much of that time in my life. From 23 until now, things have been pretty stable... but the bad aftertaste of those earlier years lingered. Things aren't so bad these days. I can do everything I could do 10 years ago (and more!), plus I don't have to deal with the insanity that is the late-teens through early-20s. I believe I've matured in how I handle adversity, and that I may just be entering the prime of my life. It's also the first time I've ever felt truly comfortable with the idea of dating someone in her 30s (mrrreow!), and girls in their 20s actually give me the time of day. Why would I ever want to go back?
Some say I look about 23, but I'm checking 30-32 because that's how I feel, and it feels pretty darn good.
Sorry if this seems overly smug and cheerful. If you'd prefer, I could dwell on the fact that some might now call me middle aged.
