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.
What's on your mind? (63)

I normally write third person, but wrote in first person once to change it up and it was nice. I found it flows better actually.

Why are can openers so monstrously difficult to figure out? If I ask my coworker how to use an electric can opener just a month after asking him how to use a dishwasher, I'll be the laughingstock of the company.
Is there a good YouTube video on how to use an electric can opener?

My pm box is mainly filled with messages from a certain girl I met years ago. Sadly I kind of blew her off. I don't want to delete her messages, yet I'm too lazy to store them somewhere else.. So in the meantime I'll pretend that I'm really popular, lol.

mmm pizza. Tonight I'm having Mexican
Muchos frijoles? (Many beans?)
That's one of our catchphrases at work. Then we go out and eat brains and intestines, because that's real Mexican food, not those normal parts of the animal.

I say use the orangutan's point of view.
The human thought he was proceeding cautiously down the hallway, but I had a taste for human flesh, so I tackled him.
ETA: I did put the blade on the can and press down just like I always had before. Maybe I just have a defective can opener?

For when I am weak, then I am strong.
I think every great writer hears that at some point
I'm leaning toward first person because I think it'll be more interesting. Thanks for your input, everyone!

Hence why I'm not a great writer, nor even a mediocre one.

I am a horrible writer. I have trouble distinguishing between which there is correct to use. Is it Their or There?

Wow, that is a good way to teach it. Good thing I am only trying to be a Pre-K or Kindergarten teacher because I won't have to teach that.
Goodnight CF.

Jerks who tailgate. I'm a lead foot...there...I said it. So there would be absolutely no reason for any person to tailgate me, unless they insist on doing 15+ over. That's really the only thing that stirs up the road rage in me.
