  • 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?

I love how sunny and bright is was for the majority of the day. The book I'm reading is great and painful all at the same time. I would certainly recommend reading "The Broken Way" by Ann Voskamp.

Why must I be tempted by the things of this world?

Is the bull materialistic? No

Do I want to win the lotto so I can have a yacht? No

Although EVERY time I hear the rumble of American muscle.... new or old...... I always turn into a Corleone



Most objects hold very little desire in my heart.......... but.... hearing the rumble..... makes me a bit more worldly than Id like to be.....:puff:

Oh to have the money to restore to mint a 69 R/T

(Heard a V8 mustang today and it made me want one again.... even though I don't care for Ford.... aftermarket support for them is insane.)

Maybe it's the time of year but I exhausted everyone within a 50 miles radius on OKC. I recall finding a lot more August of last year--maybe it's off season or something.

Huh, I would think the time between New Years and V-Day would be the mots popular time on dating sites.

I am not too keen on sex before marriage (accidents happen but I'm not amicable planning for it) and would like a Christian. Between those two factors it really killed the pool. But yeah I was sort of hoping for something but I didn't find anyone to message.

Right!? I'm a simple guy, long as I've got food and movies, tv, books, and music, I'm generally very happy. I don't covet things other people have, I don't need a giant mansion or a beach house somewhere.

But when I see a cherry muscle car on the street? "man, life is so unfair!"

I never overthink it. I just say: "it's just another one of God's gifts" and then move on.

If you have a spare few grand kicking about then don't sleep on it. Consider it a down payment and then be the one making the rumble rather than the one just hearing it.

If I had a few spare grand sitting around it wouldnt be going to a car with rumble....... it would be going to solve a border issue.

Id rather solve that issue than ever have a car with rumble.

No regrets if I have to trade my dream of muscle car in to solve it.

If I owned a mint 1969 charger (my dream car) I would sell it without hesitation or regret to do so.

So, an update on my knee. It still has its bad moments and a few times when the pain is more manageable, but I still think I need to go in. Trying to raise a few bucks to go to urgent care. It's swollen in three spots and just not really getting better. Hopefully they can help me manage the pain some and maybe get me a brace.

Actually, a lot of people with kids move in the summer and a lot of college students move in August. I can see a dating site being more active in August, because a bunch of people just moved and don't know anyone.

Agreed- body positivity needs to extend to all. I'm doing my part to show love to the short man club :) (conversely, he's doing a good job of showing love to the awkward tall girls community)

Well, I don't think women have to put an effort into dating short men if they don't want too. Men don't listen to the hypocritical body positive campaigns anyways, and I don't see them making much of an effort going out with people they don't like. So it wouldn't be fair if women had to enact that effort.

I'm just more concerned with how the undesired body types of both genders are treated socially. Not whether or not they deserve dates. Anyone can get a date if they want too. Many short men who think women shouldn't discriminate against shorter men often discriminate look-wise themselves, so they really shouldn't be talking. I mean people are free to go after who they want, but usually these things equal up naturally. The percentage of women and men is pretty much even so people will end up having to pair up with someone.

I'd like to find a date but my situation gets a bit complicated with that. Also I'm not really what you'd call stable mentally so it would probably be a bad idea anyway. Not that it'll stop me if that miracle would happen. I'm not getting my hopes up. I think about it too much though.

Yeah.... My love life is complicated too. It's part of why I'm just hanging around my crush instead of asking her out, lol.

But, if this makes sense, "complicated" doesn't mean "hopeless." Honestly, you're cool. Any girl who's smart, has a pretty smile, and knows Doctor Who is pretty desirable in my book, never mind any medical conditions.

So yeah. Here's hoping you find someone near you who feels the same way. :D

I recall seeing a plethora of women who seemed pretty interesting about two Augusts ago. At the moment I'm at home just working on my degree--it isn't my top priority but I would like to connect with a women locally. If not I might enact a nuclear option and take up a job in another country for a season or two....

Just watched "Look Who's Back" on Netflix. Highly recommend as a challenging and illuminating watch.
Ah, yeah saw that movie about a year ago. Was highly entraining/thought provoking.

It's even more relevant now than it was a year ago.
