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.

Yes, yes, yes. No matter what anyone says against them, they can work out! I know this for a fact....

Can I just ask something? I want this to be in context. You've met the guy over the internet and going on for 2 yrs now. Have you met him personally yet? How did it go? Since then, how often do you meet? When did you 2 commit to each other...over the internet or after you've met?
Personally, I won't commit to someone I have never met before...even if we've been cyberfriends for years. It's different online and different when you meet face to face and how you actually behave

I know that internet relationships can work. Depends on the situation and the people though. My uncle and his girlfriend met on the internet, he's from minnesota, she's from pennsylvania. He is a paraplegic, has a daughter and has been divorced twice. She is 10 years younger than him, never been married. They turned out to be a perfect match as odd as it sounds. She lives with him now and is a part of the family (she calls me her niece, I call her my aunt). She has truly been a blessing to our entire family! They had their 5 year anniversary last week I think!

A couple of years ago, my husband and I had 5 weddings to go to (he was in 4 of them), and 3 of those weddings, the couples met on the internet. However, they were local dating sites, so everyone lived in the same area to begin with. They are all still married, one of the couples had a baby last year and we are going to her 1st birthday party this weekend. They are also very well matched for each other. So, it does work.
It's the interstate relationships over the internet that concerns me. My former secretary was in one, and after communicating for 6 months, moved him into her apartment. In the 2 months he was there, he slowly became more and more controlling of her. One night, he beat her up, then held her hostage for 12 hours before she was able to get away and call the police. He ran off and I don't think the police ever caught him.
I like the local dating sites because you can both meet each other sooner, in order to see if you really are compatable, and when you do you can show up to your dates with your own transportation, having an easier way out if it goes bad.

Yep, they can work. I met my husband over the internet over two years ago now. However, it takes alot of trust, a lot of wisdom, and a lot of prayer to make a good match.
For every 'Net relationship I have heard about working out, I have heard ten horror stories. Ya have to use your head, be suspicious of everybody, and ask God to guide you.

Actually, I disagree.
The only thing that's different once you finally meet, is that you can actually see and touch the person... whereas before you couldn't. Of course, that's assuming both people are honest and not putting on a fake front... Just my opinion.

I rather have one to one relationships; I do not know what she/he is doing behind the keyboard. For what I can trust she can be 7 miles away and tells me that she has been faithful to me.
However, what are the chances? I guess I have to trust by faith?

I agree that they can work. I also agree that you need to be very careful as not everyone on the net is what they say or seem to be.

I agree that they can work. I met my husband online but we dated for a year before we got married. It can also be very dangerous.
