  • 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

Depending on the situation I prefer talking on the phone. But when people are busy or in a place where they can't talk on the phone texts are definitely nice. :) I'm shy so I am more likely to text someone than to call someone. Unless it's someone I talk to all the time, or I know they can't receive texts.

So which do you prefer to do? Text or call someone?

Which do you prefer happen to you?


Why do you prefer whichever you pick?

It depends on who it is.


A friend prefer talking by text (Im a guy, they are friends I don't need nor care for small talk, a text from a friend is right to the point without the small talk)

A woman I am dating, I prefer hearing her voice as much as possible, but a text shows she is thinking of me even if she may not have the time to talk.

A number I don't know gets ignored anyway.

As much as I hate talking on the phone, I'd much rather get a call or call someone then text.

Maybe if it's just a quick message, like 'buy milk' or something, then I'll text...but other then that, it's phone call for me.

I do not have a phone. Well, I do, but my use of it is restricted to one person (and even then it'll be a spate of texting for a week then ignoring my phone completely...) and then essential phone calls made when seeking a job.

My dislike of phones is a serious barrier to communication.
