• 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

Heard this on the morning news. Nothing controversial or debate-worthy here. Just interesting.

Today is the first anniversary of the discovery of the planet Neptune. The first Neptunian anniversary. The planet has made one revolution around the Sun since it was identified in 1846. Kinda cool.

You could also say that Santa climbs down your chimney every 24 December, but you'd be wrong on both counts.
Somehow, I don't envision you as ever having been to Neptune.

Unless you're Emanuel Swedenborg, that is.

No -- you just say ridiculous things like "flood water" being on Neptune. But you would never claim you've been there, that would be absurd.
How about you tell me where it went, then?

(That would be just as absurd, wouldn't it?)

By all means, feel free to call me out if I venture into the land of absurdity and make unsupportable and ludicrous claims. I'll do the same for you.
I seriously doubt you will for long.

Many people have tried, and as far as I know, Rocko and my narc buddy have somewhat gone the distance; although both seem to do a LOT less posting for whatever reason.

Once you guys realize I'm dead serious in what I believe, you'll bark for awhile, but you'll eventually lie down.

Me? I'll take your bologna for awhile, then I start playing semantic games, ignoring you, or doing little parlor tricks like qv'ing you into a circular loop.

But if you can stand the frustration -- believe me -- so can I.

You're messing with a real veteran here -- ;)

I recommend you not take CF or the interwbz too seriously.

IOW, get a life.

I'm just a n00b, that's why I only respond to your posts once I see that you already have one foot in your mouth, and I don't care about your evasion (what else can you do?).

But if you were really serious, you would tell us all about the how the waters got from Earth to Neptune, and make it an engaging, exciting story. With some hot gypsies thrown in.

Cool story, internet tough guy.

People giving up on your incoherency of course does not have any bearing on whether you are right - which, you aren't.

Neptune is a beautiful planet. Perhaps not as impressive as Saturn with its great rings, but I love the white against the blue.

Neptune, the real Blue Planet!

On this occasion, everyone go planet hunting! Someone might just stumble on another Neptune ;)
