• 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.

LOL. So, you took some classes where you possibly read Shakespeare, John Milton, Hemingway, perhaps Chaucer, but so what? You with millions of other people have read literature and taken literature classes. Big whoop

And 99% of them, along with a similar percentage of people who hadn't taken those classes would still hear that rhythm and understand perfectly well that it was intended to paint the woman as a [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]. Is that a courtroom level of proof? Absolutely not, but then again we're not in a courtroom so please spare us the insultingly condescending speeches about how this might have been purely innocent.

Only extremely naive and/or dumb people would read this and come away thinking it wasn't intended to smear the woman. The woman herself certainly read it that way.

What? So she never kissed him. It is terribly rude and potentially dangerous to this young woman to suggest that she is easy. I could go on and on but I find myself getting angry.

And he never suggested that. As he testified today, it was a friendly moniker. ONLY the media suggested it was a sexual conquest thing. They played a huge part in making up what X, Y, Z meant in his yearbook. Like the "Devil's Triangle" which turned out to be a quarters drinking game, not a threesome. Or the FFFFForth of July, which was how his friend stated the "F" word, with a bit of a stutter. You all can assume what these things meant, but that's not what they mean according to those who actually went to that school and know the reality.
