• 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.

That is my weakness. I can resist saying" yes" to alcohol, smoking ,and illeagal drugs. I can easily say "no" to a black woman. But, it is very hard for me to say "no" to a white woman. Now, if I was married to a white woman,(as I was before) it would be easy for me to say "no" to the other white woman.


You'd have a hard time turning down an obese, homely white woman for a date? Or do you become picky at some stage?

And how does marriage change things? Why would it suddenly be easy to do a behavior you find difficult now?

If you find it easy to refuse to date someone based on their skin color, can I assume that you don't hold it against someone who won't date you based on your skin color? That you understand that their preferences are just as valid as yours?

I would not mind dating an obese white woman if she asked me out. When I was living on Oahu, I did date a couple of obese white women.

When I was married, I was faithful. The only time, that I was tempted, was in my four year first marriage, was on a cruise. I was playing a slot machine. I was by myself. This older white woman, stood next to me and said, "Hello!" I said. "Hello" to her. The next thing that I knew, she started to play with my hair! I told her, "Excuse me!" I left her in the casino. There was no way that I was going to cheat on my wife! Besides, I was cruising with my wife, her aunt ,my mother-inlaw, and my father-inlaw. That was my Fillopina wife.
During my second marriage, for six years to a white woman, I was never tempted. Yet one woman, a younger white woman, at church of all places ,did flirt with me a lot.

Yes, I certainly do understand........absolutely. But, in California,there are many, many, interracial relationships. Now do you know why I would not want to move to the South? Also ,if I relocate now, at my new home, I will become a stranger all over again. :(
