• 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.

Agreed. I will still not shop at Target, unless an emergency requires me to (say, hypothetically I am in another city traveling, and there are no stores nearby except a Target, and I need bandages after a bicycle accident). Luckily, that has never happened.

Target is off my radar, pun intended. :) Gonna stay far away from that store.

I don’t think so.
I used to do Uber and had to shop there.
[However; my cars keep falling apart...]
And so I don't have to shop there since I don't do Uber so much and the tips for shopping which takes an hour and then travel is ridiculous.
:sorry:

There isn't a Target near my house, thankfully. Their pandering is ridiculous.
Agreed. Target is targeting the children with this perversion known as the gender transformer movement. Jesus had this to say in Matthew 18, about causing the young ones to stumble.

Matthew 18:6-7 (NIV): "If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come!"

My local Target already wasn't doing well due to massive unprosecuted theft and bare shelves. I don't know how they are still open.
Serves them right.

*Disclaimer: I am not condoning theft, but maybe this could be judgement? :)

I'm wondering if there's not going to be scaling back all around. Last June in and around Seattle there was LGBTQQIP2SAA+ promotion rainbow stuff everywhere you looked. I have a feeling it's not going to be as prolific this year.

Then again I won't be surprised if I see Hamas and LGBTQ flags stitched together everywhere.

Well, I do not shop at Targay, so I do not know what will happen in my city in June 2024.

It’s ironic.

Muslim countries literally kill gay men, hang them, and throw them off buildings.

Why does the left support both?

Makes no sense.

I have a high school classmate who works at the same store as me. She, per target, will be at the pride parade in my town.

I apparently can’t wear my crucifix or miraculous medal because it’s “religious.”

Makes no sense.

Seems most of them are ignorant of such details. They're just heedlessly going with the woke flow.

I haven't been inside of a Target store in probably 15 years or better. Have no plans to visit one again.

Well, I mean let's face it: they're not exactly the brightest bunch in the world, now, are they? They're just drones, like members of the Borg.

I agree. Both sides are like members of the Borg, only listening to their own ideologies. So, let us both stay far from Target.

Picard: Lock phasers onto Target Corporation.
Worf: Phasers activated.
Worf: Phaser power set to 1.21 gigawatts.
Picard: Fire
Worf: Success. Target has been eliminated.

Camera pans out, as the Target Corporation's lead ship has been eliminated, with shopping cart and cash register debris floating across the Alpha Quadrant.

Crewman: "Captain! Help.....me....!"
(Picard raises his phaser and shoots the crewman, killing him)

Sort of like George did with poor old Lennie in "Of Mice and Men." :oops:

I remember "Of Mice and Men", a dark book, but had good ethical lessons. "Lord of the Flies" was another dark book with life lessons for people.
