• 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.

Making revenge a priority in his second term.
Constant lies.
"Quiet, piggy"? "Ugly"?
Makes me think of Mr. Trumps cognitive health, regardless I still pray for him constantly.

Is it against the rules to find something genuinely funny and to use a laugh emoji? I can’t imagine why anybody, save for the most fragile, would have a problem with it. If they do, I’m sure they’ll whack the “report” button to register their outrage anonymously. I also bet they’d do so without one moments thought to the irony to complain publicly about woke fragility, snowflakes, and nobody can take a joke anymore.
Yes. Posting a “laugh” reaction on a serious post is considered goading per the forum rules. Period.

WOW we actually go 20 post before it was derailed and an additional 61 off topic posts in less than 14 hours.
Despite my issues with Trump, I really enjoyed your post and kindness.

God bless you

I’m a moderate conservative

Peace

With so much at steak, we all need to pray for him. Not that he get richer or everything go his way, but that the Holy Spirit bring about the common good.

Too bad that is not the topic of the thread.
If that’s not the topic, the only alternative is to discuss how great you are at respecting the president, even in spite of yourself. A fun and interesting topic for you, no doubt, but considerably less so for the rest of us.

I didn’t think he was being serious and genuinely thought it was funny. Since people complain about snowflakes, safe spaces, and how nobody can laugh at a joke without offending somebody, I can’t imagine why anybody would have a problem with me laughing at that comment. Unless what’s good for the goose isn’t good for the gander. Period.

However, despite that, I still respected both of them as POTUS. Unfortunately, far too many progressive left wing liberals don't appear to be able to have even a modicum of respect at all for our current POTUS.
One does not need to be a "progressive left wing liberal" to have lost respect for this POTUS. I am a moderate fiscal conservative. l lean right on some issues and left on others. I don't disrespect him because of his policies as much as his personal moral bankruptcy as manifest in his behavior, history and words.

I know we’ve established that you know more about me and my thoughts than I do, so go ahead and assume the response you got from me the other hundred times applies here too.

Ok, that’s fine. I’m just stating that part is in the rules and have nothing further to add.

I've never agreed with his public obscenities. However, those are far less disrespectful to the office of the President than what I have seen from Obama and Biden.

oh, is that the reason you responded to the poster in kind - you know his thoughts better than he does?

I didn’t claim to know his thoughts. I said his claim Obama and Biden were more disrespectful to the office of President baloney. Because it is.

Seriously, quit while you’re behind because you’re absolutely miserable at speaking about my thoughts.

My belief that Obama and Biden were disrespectful to the office of the President is NOT baloney. That is a most sincere and honest belief of mine. Obviously, you feel differently and you do have the right to your opinion. Just as I do.
