  • 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

This question will blow your socks off.....

Try to find something in common with anyone you talk to... the cashier...the dude next to you...everyone. Treat others with respect a please, thank you, smile or holding a door open can be a conversation starter... :) I agree with the others....be comfortable with yourself and people will be comfortable with you! Blessings!

Actually it won't. I just find it a little odd that I'm a 19 year old in college asking such a question. Evidently not too many people have this problem around these parts, so I was wondering if someone could help me. Basically, I have no social life and I was wondering............how do you all go about making friends? Like how do you meet new people and "embellish" so to speak on the acquantances that you already have? I truly have no idea. :confused:
Can't really help ya...I'm a pretty shy in person. If I'm in a room of people where I don't know anyone...I take a seat in a corner and look on at what everyone else is doing. I tend to wait for people to come up to me, rather than go start conversations myself.

I've lived in 8 different states...you'd think I'd be used to having to make new friends by now. :scratch: But I'm not. This place we live now...there aren't a lot of people my age that are at my church...it's either younger people, or older people. So I don't have a whole lot of friends that I go hang out with...I have people who I'll talk to when I see them but that's about it. If you ever find it out...let me know.
