  • 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.

Ok...I don't watch much television at all anymore except for Lost, so this might have been something else altogether.

And nobody else here seems to have brought it up.

...but partway through the season finalle last night there was a commercial for the 'Octagon Project' (???), seeking highly skilled scientific types willing to take on unpaid jobs for cutting edge science. I didn't pay a great deal of attention to it at the time, but I did start wondering about it later on.

'Octagon Project' = 'New and improved Dharma Initiative'???

Oh wow. I fast forward through commercials but I still have the episode on my TiVo so I'm going to look for that. I hope it's a new summer Lost thingie to keep us occupied until the show returns!

Yeah we fastforwarded right through the commercials so we missed it. But Fatburger is all signed up and I am assuming he'll follow it this summer like he has all the past seasons. ARGS- The alternate reality games. Not my thing, but he keeps me in the loop :p
