• 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

The war in Ukraine is like a roulette wheel at the bottom of the ocean.

Russia and NATO sing the same song.
”Keep the wheel spinning and they can’t be winning.”

Your spinning wheel is causing a whirlpool,
ships are going down.

When you add all the numbers on the roulette wheel together
you will know you are destroying the world.
It might save a lot of time and effort for everyone if you were to lay out your agenda, clearly and concisely. Evocative, verbal cartoons lack the substance for a productive discussion. Any chance?

If Russia were to trade a prisoner,
would you give Russia back their seats in the
Council of Europe?

Ok. I was unclear. My apologies. I'll try again.

I have read several of your threads and they share a common feature. You ask curiously slanted questions that hint at an underlying thought, that never seems to surface. This is repeated manytimes. The questions and some of the observations are either trivial, or ill informed, or irrelevant, or bizarre, yet one presumes there is some reason, some goal behind them; a point you wish to make, or . . .. ? That is what I am asking you to define both concisely and comprehensively.

End the war in Ukraine.

Russia tried to end the war in 2017.
They asked for neutral UN Blue Helmets.

If Belarus was banned from joining NATO,
would that end the war?
Why would it matter in the slightest? Belarus is a Russian puppet state. Russia is not "afraid" of Belarus joining NATO.

Might give Russia a reason to freeze the line of control.
Just so long as it’s frozen at the pre invasion borders after Russian withdrawal.
