• 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.

I have a suggestion. This is the best way to learn something like this too, when people are speaking it around you. Copy and paste things that we are saying into Google and search them. If it is a common phrase, and not something we figured out ourselves, it will probably show up in some phrase book or another. Try it.
That's a good idea
thanks :)

Oh darn, never mind- you have to register if you want to see it there. I'll just post some of it here. Here's a quote from the Bible translated into Hallekífri. It's from Psalms 10:

Pase O Id chetef sempa afa vakte? Pase chetef lufa tefrosa channisina so teshan? Hita tefro pat O Kristor! Che nelpe gana utt paldisa!

Translation: Why O Lord, do you stand far off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble? Lift up your hand O God! Do not forget the helpless!
that is really good!

I am still here. I am going to be here for a long time, as I am training to become a moderator.
Congrats! I too am still here, though not as much as I used to (welcome to the world of a second semester Junior!!)

Four words: I FEEL YOUR PAIN.
I am in exactly the same boat and I know the rubbish that we're trying to slog through.

*Nods* Those horrid things known as SATs, not to mention homework and putting together our list of colleges/universities to apply to. And maybe squeezing in some extracurriculars and social life if you can.

Wait a minute, you're 16 and already in university???????????? Are you sure it's not something else?
Quite sure. I've got SO much on my plate this semester it's ridiculous. This includes putting together med school apps, studying for the MCAT, finishing up my research project, preparing for my junior recital and an organ competition, asking my profs for letters of recommendation...

Enjoy yourself while you still can. :p

*Looks up at the age again just to be sure* So that would make you... what, 13? 14? when you entered university? Blood and ashes! Having had two older brothers go to college in the U.S. and knowing from them and their friends (not to mention my parents and teachers) what it's like, I frankly think that's way too young to be dealing with that amount of freedom and the level of personal responsibility needed for one to succeed at that level. Not that I'm not impressed; I most definitely am, especially since you seem to have pulled it off. From one aspiring doctor to another, congrats. Major congrats. I myself will settle for my SATs and art history tests and college application process and deal with junior year of college when it comes.

14. But, I do live at home, since I live in a major university town.
