• 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.

And this preparation has to come about while it is in the chemical soup stage.
If you hadn't told that whopper I would have complimented you on a well structured, concisely argued post. Unfortunately if only one cow has foot and mouth the entire herd is slaughtered.

Don't you mean "hoof and mouth"?
No. If I meant hoof and mouth that is what I would have written. In the UK the viral disease that attacks artiodactyles is known as foot and mouth. Hoof and mouth is an alternative name, but is rarely used here.

You've not escaped your heredity ... which is what you claimed.

What were fruit flies before they were fruit flies, and what will they evolve into next?

So there really isn't such a thing as evolution? Once a fruit fly always a fruit fly? It can't escape it's genetics? Critters can change into other critters, or they can't? Which is it?

I get it.
So something made of 'wood' is always 'wood' no matter what it looks like.

See the excellent reply from pgp_protector. If you persist in repeating the same questions and ignoring the responses I shall feel compelled to report you for trolling. It's tiresome.

He answered precisely and elegantly. I am at a loss to offer you an alternative way of expressing his explanation, since every effort of mine to convey the concept to you has been rejected, ignored, or misunderstood. I'm afraid this one is on you. You had best try harder.
