  • 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

That's a really good list :).


In the next 5 years I would like to, in no particular order:
  • Move into my own home - rented or owned.
  • Adopt an older sibling group.
  • Foster older and special needs dogs.
  • Graduate and secure a job with an actual living wage.
  • Learn to drive, and buy a car.
  • Become an active member of a church.
  • Go to Rome and Israel.
  • Travel outside of my country.
  • Live a little more.

Well I've only got 4 and a half years before I'm 30 so...

By the time I'm 30 I want to:

Have enrolled in some sort of course for counseling/therapy as I want to become a therapist
Be stable enough emotionally to handle working in most environments
Have an active lifestyle that includes being healthy food-wise
Have a solid set of friends in real life
Have a more intimate relationship with my husband
And be more focused and dedicated in my relationship with God (that's number 1)

I have already accomplished a lot of what I wanted to accomplish...which was to:

Buy a house
Have my dream car (VW Bug, have it, love it)
Travel to another country
See the Niagara Falls (I only live 8 hours from it)

I turn 30 in about a year, and I suppose I had some sort of bucket list made up about 10 years ago (or so), of things I wanted to do or accomplish in the future.

Done so far:
Get my own apartment
Finish high school (I dropped out at the age of 17)
Get into university/college
Travel outside of Sweden at least once a year
Buy a (D)SLR camera
Visit the Scottish Highlands and Eilean Donan Castle
See the midnight sun

Still want to do:
Have a kid or two
Publish a novel
Visit all the Lord of the Rings movie locations in New Zealand
Buy a house
Continue to travel outside of Sweden at least once a year
Become fluent in another language besides Swedish and English
See the northern lights

Though I suspect I won't get these done in a year's time. ;)
