  • 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.

Aw, it was fine; I've been a pretty steady part of her life, she likens me to her Dad(her parents are married btw, just so there's no confusion) and I liken her to my little sister.

I've taught her how to play softball well, I was helping coach her team last year; she ... haha, I'm gettin' carried away.

Anyway, the 12th was easy to deal with :) I look forward to one of my very own someday, haha.

Lol Aw you sound like a very good uncle! I could talk on and on about my nieces and nephews but since I have 11 of them I will reframe :D

Yeah that is true but if I did I would only give them a cell for phone calls though. I don't feel like it is needed for them to send an unlimited amount of texts all day long.

IJWTS my (almost) 9 yr old has been bugging me for a cell phone for a while now. :doh: My hard and fast rule is that my kids will not have cell phones until they are driving on their own and then will only have phone capabilities - no text, no internet, etc.

The only way I will stray from this is if they end up on sports or other activities where they would need to be able to reach me during/after an event for transportation purposes, etc.

That said - I am the mom who will know where my kid is, who they are with, and what they are doing...without them needing a cell phone to communicate it to me.

Old-fashioned values FTW.

:preach:

IJWTS I didn't have a phone until I was in my 20s...but then again, I'm old. :p

IAJWTS I did break down and give the little buggar a pre-paid phone that doesn't have any airtime, so he can technically say he has a cell phone but he doesn't have any phone priviliges. It got him off my back about the subject, so I consider it a win for me. ;)

IJWTS-Since I know you all have a deep interest in what songs are in my head :p, I thought I'd share that it's currently "I Can Dream About You" by Hall and Oates. Still not a happy song, but I like this one and don't mind that it's sad.

I think this one got in my head because I've been looking up break up songs lately. I keep trying to find one to post in the songs/videos for exes thread. My problem is that I didn't have nasty break ups and I'm way past any heart break. Where are the songs for people who have no ill will for their exes and want them to be happy, while not being heartbroken, sad, or bitter?
