• 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.

Far be it for me to point out the obvious, but your typing record is not spotless. We cant understand what your saying and then you get angry for us not understanding or mis-interpreting

I had no problem with Pentecostal Boy's typing/misspellings. I understood right through it. What I don't understand is your abuseness and obnoxious behavior in this thread.

Im frustrated, the kid just plain, flat out, makes no sense. I will admit, I will be the first to admit that he HAS gotten better, but previously his statements were so blatantly wrong, when they were even understandable.

I would not have had a problem with this, but when myself and several others pointed out the fact that we couldnt understand him and that he was wrong, he took an agressive atitude

Actually of you want to see unenployment look at THe Great Depression Illumanist!We have much much less unenployment now.Do you know why?It doesn't have to do with our economy!If you pay half attention to the U.S. you might know a little bit about it!
It's because stupid companies are moving plants over seas!Learn a little bit about my nation before you talk to me about how are economy is!!!!


This is like you being on a bus and a guy tries to ask you what the next stop is but you cant understand him and then he gets angry at you for not understanding him.

PM me if you feel you want to respond, I dont want to totally derail the thread

Correct spelling, while great for communication, does not indicated that one does not have a great intellect.

I appreciate PB's veiws and fully understand them and if a 49 year old can understand a 13 year old surely a 17 can.

If there is any likeness to Rome it would be in the apathy of the citizenry. People seem to be letting just any thing go. We are unwilling to forgive a cold footed bride to be but will try to understand the actions of a mass murderer.
