• 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.

Questions?

Thank you, so do I!
My day's been mixed- I didn't sleep last night because it's really warm over here and I'm not used to it! :)
So I've been pretty tired all day and I didn't get much revision done, just been on the computer andreading books all day.

I don't like sleeping when it's too warm too.. but I always sleep.... I think that only twice in my life I haven't slept at all during the whole night, and both times it was because I was feeling really unwell!

So you had a nice day! :) What did you do on the computer? What did you read? :)

I was mainly on these forums a lot of the day- I read quite a lot of the messages, loads of them are really interesting. I'm currently reading something by Zadie Smith called 'On Beauty'- it's good, but not quite as good as her first book. I keep taking breaks from my revision!

I agree! There are so many interesting things to read on the forums, especially in the debate section!

Yes, it's good to take breaks from revision. :) Do you still have a lot to revise?

By the way, I passed the exam today! :clap: So I have only one exam left to pass... :)

You passed! Yaaay! Well done! You get to find out straightaway? That's quite good, I have to wait until late August to know.
I've been over must of the stuff I need to revise, I've just got to make sure it all stays in my head :)

Thank you! :) Yes, we get the grade just after the oral exam, but I still have to wait for the results of two written exams.... but I think they went well :)

Well, I hope it stays in your head :) Is school generally easy for you?

Well, I never really enjoyed it, but it's ok. I alwas found maths and science really hard (and my handwriting- it's really messy!) but I don't have to study them anymore, so it's good.

Ahhh, I'm exhausted, I've just had 4 hours of exams!
My favourite subjects are probably languages, and sometimes theology (religious studies) depending on exactly what we're studying- I liked the problem of evil and arguments for God's existence, but I found the psychological and sociological aspects quite boring.

I do, in fact, own two incense burners- one is shaped like an elephant and was given to me by a friend, the other I got as a free gift in the post. I do like incense, but I don't burn it as often as I like, usually just when I've got well again after having a cold and want to celebrate getting my sense of smell back!
Eww, algebra-never understood it. I was always worse at mental maths- I need to see things written down to work them out!

Theology and 'general studies', which they pretend is a proper qualification, but isn't. They actually went quite well, so I'm happy. But I've been constantly writing and my arm really hurts!
