  • 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

I used to make lists with options what to do when I'm bored. I made categories like "outdoor/indoor", "things to do alone/with friends", stuff like that. unfortunetly whenever I got bored, I must have forgotten about the list, because I never used it.... ^_^

my list contained things like:
- bake a cake
- rollerskating
- clean my bathroom
.... :doh:

have fun creating your own list ;)

Wow you both have cleaning in your options. I have to admit that is not the first thing that pops into my mind.
the same you just did - I post ;)

or if I don't have a computer with internet I either read a book or dance
Ah books, I remember those. I used to read them before I got the internet. ^_^

Actually I got some rather good reading material for Christmas, so I may just do that.

But dance, that's a new one to me, I certainly have enough dance music, which leads to a lot of bopping in my seat. Perhaps I shall have a solitary rave in my house.

You make a list?! That is incredibly organised of you. I shall have to do that;

- watch mind numbing day time TV shows.
- sit around
- go for a walk

Aha! A walk! This list thing really works!

walks are really good :thumbsup: but more fun if you have a second person with you to talk :)

cleaning is the option that gets picked only if there really is nothing else to do :D would be the last option on one of soda's lists for me ^_^ but it helps...just put on some music and start cleaning

I'm so rarely bored... I think i can never stop doing things. Even when posting i feel i should be doing something more useful... or simply i should go to bed.

Yet the other day (hum... maybe a month ago now, it was during the holidays) i had a moment of boredom and thought i had a needlepoint work i had begun -- maybe a year before -- and i could resume...

It's far too easy to spend time on the internet... so i try to have less activities on the computer. I bought a Lego Mindstorm NXT Robot and try to focus more on the mechanics. Yet i don't have much time to play with it. Otherwise when i have time i read or i go shopping. Or well, i clean stuff :).
