  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

OK Star Wars aficionados - I want to go see the new Star Wars movie....

However I have never watched a single Star Wars episode (I know the horror of it all!). I don't have then money or time to watch all 6 episodes. Which episodes are essential to watch before seeing the new movie?

None of them are "essential." Seeing episode 4 first would help.

After hearing about the cardiac episode, I'm not surprised. It had been going on for fifteen minutes when they landed (and could have started even earlier than that). After twenty minutes cardiac cells in the affected areas are dead and won't come back. CPR also fractures your sternum and ribs (which an awful lot of people don't seem to realize).

Lord, have mercy on her.

Debbie Reynolds just passed away (Carrie Fisher's mother). So sad.

Lord, have mercy on her and Carrie.
That one sounded like it was passing due to a broken heart. Too close together - Lord Have Mercy

It's so sad. May God have mercy on their souls.

Also, a propos a previous comment: start with the original trilogy (Star Wars, Empire..., Return of the Jedi), then look into the others. As with books, production order almost always makes the most sense. It's like with the Narnia series - some people thought they had to rearrange to "chronological order", but, no, it always made the most sense in the order they were printed in. They were written that way, read them that way. C'mon.

indeed, Lord have mercy on Debbie Reynolds as well.

Maybe He did have mercy on her. If, God forbid, I were to outlive my son, I would pray that it wouldn't be by more than a day or two.

I can't even imagine, especially for a mom to outlive a child
