  • 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.

The Game is strong in this one...

My son has been "gaming" since he was 2 with the Wii and simple kiddie games. Well, he will be 5 in October and he is becoming quite the little gamer for real. I just about can't beat him at tennis or baseball but I can still take him at golf and bowling.

Now, he loves to play coop games like Laura Croft and the Guardian of Light on my PS3 and he is pretty good at Dead Nation but I don't let him play it because he is scared of zombies. A family friend gave him a PS2 so, now we sometimes play Gauntlet and Crash Bandicoot. I will have to really start watching what he plays now, I'd hate to see him get into Bioshock at his age. He has loved watching me play Mass Effect 2 as well. He picked up my Game Informer and I asked him who that was on the cover. "That's Commander Shepard!"

Anyway, I thought it was cool and wanted to share. Do any of you game seriously with your kids or parents or even grandparents?

Last night I asked him what he wanted to play. "Majin!" I dropped my head because he struggled with that a few months ago but I let him play. He was working that monster and when my wife asked him about the monster, he said, "He's my buddy. He helps me do stuff."

It's amazing how fast they learn. I have to really be watchful now. No GTA for him. lol
