  • 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.

Vent time....where to start? male coworkers...lol Nah....won't go there.

People who fit the 'definition' of crazy "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result". AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!! This type of behaviour frustrates me more than I can possibly express. I've been guilty of it in the past, I'm sure. I think I'm enlightened enough to know now that yeah...certain behaviours likely will have certain results (i.e., eating too much and not exercising is NOT going to lead to weight loss...but I digress....) I have a friend who has met a few different guys in the last couple of years....some through friends, others through online sources. She's had NO luck with any of them and has experienced their lies and been severerly hurt by it. It seems her behaviours are the same each time and she pushes them away (or possibly scares them away) to the point that they feel the need to fabricate something to get away from her. She's been MAJORLY depressed this year due to some of the things she's been through. I honestly can't stand talking to her anymore and it stinks because she's been a good friend for over 25 years. I haven't spent as much time with her this year because it simply brings me down (and I REALLY don't need help there!). I feel sorry for her but on one hand, I can only tell her so many times what I perceive her to be doing wrong...... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!!
