  • 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 "un-derailable" thread!

I watched four or five episodes because I like Spader a lot. It did t grab me. Game of Thrones has more sex in it than the porn movies my buddies would put on when their parents were gone in junior high! Lol

Does anyone besides me watch The Blacklist? Game of Thrones anyone?

This is true, it like watching a porno, and also some of the violence can be over the top at times, that one son of the Queen was brutal, and quite possibly evil. However I wonder how much of that show is accurate in real life?

Game of Thrones anyone?

I read the book on deployment and saw snippets of the show. since they killed off my two favorite characters in the first book, I lost interest.

I'm not a prude, but for goodness sakes, I can at least see the sex being shown if it is extremely pertinent (and even then I'd rather they not show it), but G.O.T. has some guy riding a woman (or three) in every scene even if it's in the background. They could be walking through horse stables---sex.....cooking something for the king----orgy.....the blacksmith forging armor---lesbians. That show goes out of its way to put sex in every nook and cranny to the point it's so gratuitous that my wife and I were shaking our heads. It's bizarre. And when midgets get involved....well....honestly words fail me.

Ok I got into a debate with my friend, she think Johnny Depp like the greatest actor ever, and I said Robert Deniro with his work from the 70's - 90's, she poined out that Deniro while a great doesn't have have a whole body of diverse work, he always a mobster, tough guy, or lunatic. She might be right about Deniro.

If it's available anywhere , check out Di Niro in "Stanley And Iris". Much different role, than he usually gets.

Robert Deneiro is a good actor, Depp is an annoying pain in the [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]. I can't stand Depp. The ONLY movie I like him in is "Ed Wood." He was a treasure in that, worthless in mostly everything else. Oh, Nightmare on Elm Street he was fair LOL!

Well, my laptop died, 2 months out of warranty, but that's OK because I had purchased an extended 12 month warranty on top of the standard.
Of course the warranty provider has an online submission process that is broken and I've been on hold for more than 10 minutes trying to call them (I don't have the luxury of being able to wait by the phone during work hours.) I've tracked down their main website and fired off an email so I'll see how long it is before I have to go to consumer affairs to lodge a complaint. Don't know how long it will be before it gets fixed or replaced.
Le bummer.
