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.

theres comedy, the staff do dance routines with the comedy compair, kareoke, and dancing with mostly well known 80s and early 90s music so you can have a good sing song . the atmosphere of the whole place was very mature and relaxed and the food was terrific too !

Global Week of Action for Trade Justice is from 10-16 April 2005, so for those interested I thought I might post some details of Glasgow events.
Glasgow
Description: TJM Scotland are planning to have a week-long presence in Glasgow's Buchanan Street (near the Concert Hall) to mark the Global Week of Action (GWA). There will be a permanent stall from 10am to 6pm from Mon 11-Thursday 14 where people can cast their vote for Trade Justice and take part in activities. On each of the days, there will be a different focus for stunts and activites based on the different issues covered by the GWA - food, livelihoods, water and health. Anyone is welcome to come along and help out on any of the days.
At 12pm on Thursday 14, representatives from all faiths in Scotland have been invited to come and vote publically for Trade Justice. They will also form a human X on the concert hall steps as part of a media event to demonstrate their commitment to trade justice.
A bus from Glasgow on Friday 15 has also been organised to take any interested supporters down to the London vigil (returning Saturday 16).

What's the worst that could happen? Puncture?
I'm somewhat claustrophobic. That's my excuse. I reckon it comes from being inside a collapsing bothy bag, 2/3s of the way up Ben More. Also 'bothy bag' sounds too much like 'body bag' for my liking.
