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

Probably my least favourite saying. it is like saying the following:

God is God.
You are you.
Baked beans are baked beans.
Gaga is Gaga.
Star Wars is Star Wars.

Why bother saying anything?

I hear you.

I personally [dis]like this new phenomenon: "...my truth..."

My truth?
Yeah, that does sound weak I guess.

Person A: You know it isn't quite moral, nor is it advisable to murder 4000 kittens under a ladder, while stepping on cracked floor, holding an umbrella inside a building...

Person B: If killing 4000 kittens under a ladder - stepping on a cracked floor- while holding an umbrella inside offends you, then I apologize if you feel that way. But, I have to live my truth.

Thanks, Ygrene. We are lost in that mud puddle.

Shakespeare's "to thine own self be true" has some relevance?

It is what it is is my most favorite saying because its simply the truth and not alot of people like that. My friend hates it when I say that lol...

But "it is what it is" is just a very real saying to match the very real world we live in. Crap happens....

It is what it is.

I Am What I Am
Gloria Gaynor
I am what I am
I don't want praise I don't want pity
I bang my own drum
Some think it's noise I think it's pretty
And so what if I love each sparkle and each bangle
Why not try to see things from a different angle
Your life is a shame
Do you can shout out I am what I am
Do you can shout out I am what I am

I am what I am
