• 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.

Negative personal remarks no matter how true, about her, her mother, her father, her brother, her friends... Been there done that doesn't work lol. :234:
In different cultures, it can be acceptable if you are coming from a concerned place.

However, in America, commenting on someone's weight is a big no-no. But, I wouldn't say commenting on personal things is always a no. If it's a sensitive subject and can be insulting, you shouldn't unless you are really close to them and can approach them in a non-threatening way, haha.

Ahem, for the rest of the world... 'dating' is weird, socially unacceptable, even frowned upon, as traditional courtship occurs between the woman's father with the suitor, or his parents. An already qualified suitable couple. Here in Sydney, relationships tend to blossom naturally in mutual friendship groups, e.g. university groups, church groups, work groups, then breaking off into pairs. Less artificially orchestrated meetings to bed a member of the opposite sex. So the couple aren't strangers making good first impressions but already half-committed.. considering marriage.. though that's probably just me!
