• 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.

High housing prices are only just one of the many reasons American citizens are moving away from California.

California real estate has been much higher than the rest of the country...for the last 50 years. There's this thing called demand...

But in recent years, there is another factor driving up real estate and rent prices across many other areas of the country: Big investment firms buying up the market. That isn't a California issue. That is unconstrained capitalism at work.

No doubt ... “blue” states tend to be less fiscally stable. The massive over spending of Federal government is absolutely effecting the entire country ... yet they (both parties) don't do much to stop it .... they just keep printing money and putting more debt on the tax payers.

Those “unstable” states are the reason we can afford things like Mississippi.

So you trusted them until they started heavily criticizing the guy you liked?

Maybe we should consider trimming the fat. How much do you think we could get for it?
