• 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.

  • 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

I had a Muslim workmate who told me that he's made a promise to God that every time he eats potatoes (for some reason he loved them and thought they're exceptionally cheap here) he would say "Thank God" in arabic and he had kept doing that for 10+ years.

Who is Peter Hitchens and why do I care what he thinks?
It's a good article that puts it much better than I can. The author of said article doesn't matter. Since you posted this in the discussion forum, some may be interested in a conservative viewpoint. Some may not.

Did you read my profile? I am a conservative. I just don't consider leaving others to die a conservative viewpoint.

What makes you a conservative? Just wondering how you define it.

I'm an actual conservative. Government and church keeps it's hands out of everyone's pants, people can do whatever they like with their bodies and economic restraint.

Don't make the mistake of thinking that demonising refugees is a "conservative" ideal.

Neocon, possibly. Reactionary tribalist idiot, certainly. But not conservative.

Pretty sure that's libertarianism.
Which is a strand of conservativism. Maybe YOU should be more mindful of words' meanings, rather than using pundit disseminated popular misuses?

Videos like this make me pleased to be Canadian. While the U.S. destroys itself by giving in to hatred, fear and bigotry other countries like mine can still extend a little humanity.


A little humanity unless you are a member of the First Nations.
