  • 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.

I have one of T. Rex’s descendants at home. His name is Casper. He doesn’t have lips, but he has a beak. And it can hurt like hell when he bites.

Caspar looks like a Galah to me.

When I was a kid, the neighbours had a Rainbow Lorikeet ("Greenie") in a cage. I think they'd rescued it when it was injured.


But one day I made the mistake of putting my finger in its cage. Ow!! That hurt!

Casper is a Goffin cockatoo—Cacatua goffiniana, to be scientifically precise.
His species is native to the Tanimbar islands. Which is an archipelago between Australia and Indonesia. He has a giant personality. His goal in life—aside from breeding—is to be the center of attention at all times. When he’s not getting the attention he thinks he deserves, he’ll scream loud enough to wake the dead. It’s unreal how many decibels can be generated by a 1 pound bird. He can talk, though a Goffin’s voice isn’t is as clear as an African grey or Amazon. Casper is now 10 years old. Like other parrots, he can live into his 40s. Having a pet parrot is a long-term commitment. I just hope my hearing can hold out.

Questionable. The closest living relatives to the T-Rex ar chickens and turkeys (the feet of a chicken are nearly identical to the structure of a T-Rex foot).

This of course makes for a humorous image of a T-Rex walking after its pray clucking like a chicken.

Ever seen a chicken eat a mouse? They do not cluck, they just go right on in.

For sure. Of course, it tastes like chicken, too. And one T. Rex nugget is the size of a Thanksgiving turkey. :oldthumbsup:
