  • 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.

Books: An Extensive Encyclopedia of Plants
A book on tools and toolmaking
The Bible

Movies: Only instructional ones that are lengthy and detailed per the books above. I'd get sick of 3 movies only after like a week.

1 CF person:

<Staff Edit>

X factor? I don't even watch that show.

Something that will help me survive on the island..

A manually powered sowing machine for making clothing. Or for her to make me clothing.

Edit: Scratch the manual sewing machine. My tool book should cover making one of them. I'd bring Cannabis seeds. At least then I'd know I'd have a really durable fiber to make clothing!

- I'll take the Bible, the book of Enoch, and the book of Jasher
- What good are movies if you can't watch them?
- I'll go with whoever posts after me
- A lifetime supply of Twinkies (JK, I hate Twinkies). A boat (argh, that's already taken and kind of cheating anyway). How about large box of matches or a lighter? A knife or sword would be good too... Bah, I dunno, I'll just give up and die!

It would be either Ks777, Moe, Keri, or Nano. IF I cant decide I will just eat them all. Like a Siamese cat.

Xfactor thing
-nothing. I dont know what that is. Or incantations.

1. Kindle with a solar power charger, my Bible and my collection of Jane Austen's works- its big enough to use as a weapon.

2. Can I change this to games? Movies would be useless as there is no way to watch them! I would bring Monopoly, Rook and Taboo.

3. Oh the pressure! The thing is, I wouldn't choose anyone I liked, I wouldn't want them to be deserted with me :D But then again, I wouldn't choose anyone I hated as I'm not sure I have the self control to not bean them over the head if given the chance.

Now, if I knew I was going to only be stuck for a few weeks or a month I would choose either Ethnog, Little_Tigress or Henrietta. Possibly Miss Spaulding but that would depend entirely on how well she can function without coffee. I don't need to be stuck on an island with a caffeine addict going through withdrawal :p

4. My X-factor item would be a vat of shampoo. I can't survive anything if my hair is gross, I would have to find someway to shave my head but doing that on an island would be... tricky.

- Pick 3 books you will take with you.
-The bible
-A book on edible and un-edible plants
-Survival Guide

- Pick 3 movies you take with you.
-Well, on a deserted island with no electricity or DVD players or even TVs, movies would be pointless. So I would bring perhaps several seasons of a particularly long show. I'm certain you could use the discs as reflectors to search for help, to light fires, etc.

- Pick 1 CF person you take with you (No celebs sorry).
Umm, I'd definitely say Sharon. Not for any romantic reasons either. But to have my best friend on the island, I think we would really make the best of the situation, keep each other company and laughing the whole time and we both need private time to ourselves, so that will help when we could take different parts of the island :D Plus she's incredibly smart and knows her way around cooking veggies so that will come into play on the survival side.

- Pick 1 X Factor item, person, book, thing or anything that will help you survive on the island.
Hmm, this is a good question. I want to say a lighter, but it would eventually go out. Fire would be essential to seek rescue, to cook foods, boil water, keep the pests and nasty animals away and warmth if it gets cold at night. Maybe some kind of flint that we can strike to create sparks to make fires easier.

You don't need a book on edible and un-edible plants if you've got me as your CF Survival Buddy. :cool: Hey...I'm just sayin'.


O-tay, here goes:

Pick 3 books you will take with you.

-To Kill a Mockingbird
-A Tale of Two Cities
-Bible

Pick 3 TV shows you will take with you. (Yes, I changed it to 'shows.' I am a rebel.)

-Laverne & Shirley
-Simon & Simon
-Combat!


Pick 1 CF Survival Buddy.

-After careful and painstaking consideration...I'd have to go with Twist 'O the Tim (TwistTim). I think we'd make an excellent pairing for desert island survivalists. ...Honorary mentions: Strider, Saucy, wannaberocker, Squeakers, and Amber.ly.

Pick 1 X Factor item, person, book, thing or anything that will help you survive on the island.

-A machete. Look, we need something sharp to cut hard things up or open, but we also need something big enough to go hackin' through the bush when exploring or running from cannibals. ...(I'd bring coffee, but I figured my supply would run out eventually. I can always get hooked on coconut milk.)

3 books.
hmmmm I like Ambers idea of a kindle which would mean unlimited number of books. But ill pick 3 anyways. Bible, what plants and fruit are safe to eat, survival guide.

3 Movies.
again I have to pick stuff that makes me happy cause I have a feeling being stuck on an island would be kinda depressing. 1. pnp the BBC version (its long and will kill time easily), An office and a gentleman, Platoon (ill watch it when im down so I know "hey atleast these boys had it worse they were getting shot at).

1 person:
This is an extremely tough question. On the one hand you can argue that taking a male would make sense cause that will mean he can take some of the physical strain off from me. On the other hand if you take a female and develop some sort of desert island romance that can help you survive psychologically. Lets be honest love puts us all in a good mood no matter where we are.


ill get back with you on this one.

X factor item:
Jungle survival kid.

Here is the situation. YOu are stuck on a desert Island.

- Pick 3 books you will take with you.

How to Build a Boat Using Only Native Vegetation and Duct Tape, Ocean Navigation for Dummies, and a Bible.

- Pick 3 movies you take with you. (lets assume you can watch the movies on the island).

Boat Building 101, Cast Away, and Endless Summer.

- Pick 1 CF person you take with you (No celebs sorry).

Sorry... I can't pick just one. I'd take Little Tigress, Sampa, Miss Spaulding, Wannaberocker, Strider, Saucy, Toro, Spunkn, Squeakers, Jess, Ethie, Amber, Noodles, Numbers, Marx, and others. Just think of it as a big boat building beach bash.

- Pick 1 X Factor item, person, book, thing or anything that will help you survive on the island.
However much duct tape we need.

Books-The Bible, a really good Bible commentary to go with it, and a really good Encyclopedia. Long, non-fiction books that can be read repeatedly seem like the best picks

Movies-Since I'm stuck on a desert island, I'll want happy movies, not neccesarily my favorites, so I'll go with The Apartment and Toy Story. Also season 1 of Star Trek: The Original Series in a box set, so of course it just counts as one. ;)

Person-I don't know anybody on here well enough to commit to being on a desert island forever with them. But my "X-factor item" would probably also be a person (because it's lame to say 'a boat' or something like that). I'd go with either my cousin, who is my best friend, or, if I could unlock the mysteries of the time-space continuum, who I would have ended up marrying had I not been marooned on the island.
