  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

have your infant's ears pierced? I had my daughter's ears pierced at 3 months of age. She cried for about 45 seconds, then settled down with her soother. She of course has no memory of this.

What do you say?
i say its stupid, i get the impression that some parents don't realize that this is a child not a doll to dress up.
sure you pay for everything, but the child is a person and shouldn't have to have undue pain simply because the mother thinks its "cute"

i don't mean to offend you, since you did get your daughter's ears pierced

it annoys me, i guess. really the same reason other people gave, children don't get the choice.
