• 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.

About as "reality" based as 24 and Battlestar Galactica
And Firefly, and Star Wars, etc.

The main reason I hate it is because "reality TV" promotes itself as "REALITY TV".
Which is about as "real" as the IPU is.

Seriously.

Not to mention the fact that it's just horrible overall.
ETA- Watching Barney Fife (as much as I don't like that show) is better than watching "Reality" TV.
Worst
Concept
Ever
(except, of course for the millions of people who actually watch it...ack!)

Yes I hate it as well. I don't know why it's called "Reality Television," either. I'm sure there are things that are scripted, and I'm quite sure that most of the drama is acted.

I hate “Reality TV” with one exception and that is when they go into a huddle behind the line of scrimmage and call a play. And I even hate it then if they try to go up the middle. Television like movies should be scripted.
As long as you realize that "reality TV" is just as based in reality as is 24 or Battlestar Gallactica :thumbsup:
I don't watch football either (not a sports fan really), but sports are in a completely different league than "Reality" TV
