  • 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.

tonight i was at my friends house, where we have a sat. night bible study every week. He and i are the leaders of the guys small groups. He came home from work, and someone had given him 2 tickets to see coldplay tonight.

but we thought it through, and decided that we needed to stay and lead the bible study. but i've had a hard time getting my mind off of it. Coldplay is at the top of my list of bands that i really want to see.

:cry: i've had a hard week, and this could have been amazing.


oh well, i have 2 dmb shows next weekend. :sigh: :sigh: :)

I skipped a Tool show back on the "Undertow" tour for band practice.

Friggin' band practice. I still regret it to this day.

Argh! You could have seen "Sober" when it was fresh! I can't imagine what that could/would have been like. :sigh:

I would have gone to the concert, which is why I am not a bible study leader.

Kudos to you and your friend though for sticking to your guns and staying :thumbsup:

thanks,
but if it weren't for my friend's mom, and the girl leaders, who would have killed peter and i, i would have gone to the concert too.

i was devastated. peter doesn't REALLY like coldplay much, but they're one of my favorites.

i should also mention that my friend who did go, was in the pit. Chris Martin came out, and took some pictures on a disposable camera, and then threw it out into the audience. my friend caught the camera, had the pics developed, and there were some from the concert, but some of the pictures, the band members took in their hotel room.

(sigh). wow.

look, i'm straight as the "straight and narrow" but chris martin is one awesome dude.
