• 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. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

Or is it everyone that voted for Trump is a sucker? ;)

No, many who voted for Trump know exactly what they want. They want to take down the Washington establishment. They want to stop immigration, put tariffs on China and Mexico to give them more jobs, and they want to stop those who don't look like them from getting their jobs.

I say no. His success in the race is coming from an anger that citizens have about the way Washington works (or not, depending on your view). People just don't care that he's brash, a liar, a racist and hates women. He only represents their anger. And he well knows that.

You both have made some very good points, although it was initially suppose to be joke.

I think the people who voted for Trump should be more careful about what they wish for or they may end up regretting voting for him in the end.

He also won the youth vote, yet he isn't young.

Of course. It's not as simple as "young people will vote for someone that's young." Young people will vote for the polar opposite of Trump. I did. I was in Michigan and I voted for Sanders.

Trump and Sanders are hardly polar opposites in their policies or their target audiences. I suspect that many in Michigan who support the similar trade policies chose between voting for Sanders and voting for Trump.

Just a quick question for anyone who may want to answer:
isn't a meme nothing more than a photo with words or a comment? Especially as we use them in the meme thread?

Uh yes?
