  • 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.

This may be more appropriate in the GIFs thread, but.....since this *is* off topic, I'll post it here:

Ooooh, my head! Apparently Seattle's rush hour is from about 5 am till about 11 pm. So much for leaving early to beat the traffic. I am SO freaked out I was shaking so badly I could hardly sign the registration at the hotel. Then they instructed me where to park. LOL. Try squeezing a full size 4-dr sedan into a place hardly big enough for a smart car for two! No one better park beside me or I'll be pretty messed up and won't be able to get in my car to go home. That would be a challenge even if I was a size 2 - which I'm not!

Well, hubby's not on the skype right now, so I'm going downstairs to the starbucks. I must say, this is quite the quaint hotel. Maybe I'll find my way to where I'm going tomorrow so my morning's a little easier.

I thought you were a pro-lifer.

LOL!! yep...not suicidal either. But wow, this training better be worth it! :)

I was just out exploring. This is okay. I can walk to my conference in 5 minutes, there's a Starbucks along the way, and I was just up on the roof watching the sun set! ^_^

IP, you would not like Seattle. I will be glad to go home tomorrow. But now that I've walked for a while and then lounged on the roof, I've calmed down. When I first got here, it took a minute to peel my fingers off the steering wheel. I'm really trying to stay positive, but I have a feeling my hands will be a little stiff and sore in the morning. lol.

The other day I was in a workshop where someone said that it's good to have a little conflict now and then - people don't grow when they are not pushed. So I'm thinking this trip will be loaded with growth!

Ah. I was just wondering. Some people don't buy starbucks because they support abortion. That's why I was asking.

oh....sorry. I thought you were talking about all the traffic. My apologies. Well, they apparently support gay marriage, too, but I will need lunch tomorrow, so.....it's a sandwich without getting lost. At home, I go to Starbucks very rarely, but for me, the fact is that no matter who we support, they will always have something we don't like about them.

I am not totally pro-life, either. I am totally pro-life for believers, but for the secular world - it is their choice, and I cannot judge them for living according to worldly standards. If I had my way, we would all stay pure until married and then stay faithful to our spouse till death do us part. Unfortunately, that is not reality....

I have to agree with VG. My two indulgences are Starbucks and Cold Stone Creamery. I go to Starbucks probably every other day. It's going to be every day now though. I've told myself that I'm allowed to have a Starbucks Americano each day I manage to do this one thing that I'm trying to do right now.

Honestly? I'm a Tim's gal. I loooove their French Vanilla. And it's half the price you'd pay at Starbucks. And at my regular Tim's, we have a Coldstone right in there. Now that's a rare treat! They have the best ice cream, but my poor hips don't like ice cream too often. They (my hips) already nag me about my French Vanilla.
