• 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.

Why would their consciences not let them stay until the last day of the conference so they could vote on the definition?
You didn't read the posts, did you?

Oh, they want Pluto reinstated as a planet.

That's right!
Not NASA, a couple of people that work at NASA. Its always a good idea to check sources.

It was a fact that Pluto was already a planet at one time, wasn't it?
Yes it was. But now its an historical artifact because the criteria that defines a planet under today's science does not make the grade.

Curious! What criteria would you suggest to define a planet?

Don't worry about it.

We aren't worried, just curious.

Why is it so important to you and others that Pluto be a planet? There are tons of other dwarf planets out there. Some are even bigger than Pluto. So why single out Pluto?

It was an attempt at a funny "Pulp Fiction" reference. That's all.
It's okay Loudmouth
I was never the joking type

Just speak clear and straight
Sarcasm and hidden nuances always went over my head

Don't know. Don't care. Don't care to know.

I'm just happy with Pluto being a planet.

Evidently some scientists weren't happy though and rigged a vote to get it demoted.

And only four percent voted.

Take your consensus-of-opinion science elsewhere; you're not fooling me.

Did you see HOW Pluto was demoted?

Doesn't that bother you that your god-almighty science that you guys bow down to rigged a vote to get what they wanted?

If Christians were to do that, hypocrites scientists would be all over us like Hitler on the Jews.

Read the attachment AV posted on a response he made to me.
He provided two attachments

One with 9 requirements of s planet lists these criteria that has to be met

All by David Metzger who seems very amused
And is very entertaining as well

Just answer the question.

Why would their consciences not let them stay until the last day of the conference so they could vote on the definition?
Sorry.

You people are really getting on my nervous system.

So I'll just bow out for awhile.

But this isn't how Pluto was "demoted."

Again, understanding is the beginning of all wisdom.
