  • 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

Ummm indeed.

Both of you are still young and have so much possiblities in life. The best thing to do is communicate with her. Ask her...is she trying to change you or just making you aware that you need to have more direction? You can discuss instead of asking other people what they think. It is best to talk directly with the person concerned. Do not make assumptions...this often leads to misunderstanding.

And dont forget to tell her how much she means to you :)
