  • 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?

Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. Lots of tea/fluids and if you haven't got any already, get some high dose vitamin c to help kick-start your immune system. You can get 500mg ones in most supermarkets.

Lucozade is good :) Fizzy or not? I love their orange one that is just regular and not fizzy and I've never really liked the fizzy ones.

I find that filling a saucepan with boiling water and inhaling the steam with a towel over your head to trap it in as best as you can really helps too. It's pretty gross to be a slimy, leaking mess but it really does help clear things out if you're blocked up. It can really help sooth your throat and loosen things up if you're at all congested in your chest.
That's my biggest fear when I am ill, that it'll get to my chest. It sticks with me for a month when it does, it's the worst.

Bless him. My nephew is only 3 but even at that age he can sense something's wrong and wants to take care of you. Kids are the best :D

After working quite heavily for an unexpected 10 hours today, i now find myself stuck at a stand-still in traffic this very moment on the way home. And somehow i'm not even really feeling annoyed. I guess i have managed to keep myself entertained and Zen calm by singing along with U2 and Tokio Hotel all this time. ^-^

Tokio Hotel??? I haven't heard Tokio Hotel in years...
I was a big fan back then. Good times...

Having the freedom to leave and having the ability to leave sadly aren't the same thing.
Not really. You can leave at any time.

You just may not like the manor in which you leave.

If someone wants to leave bad enough its better they stop talking about it and simply do it. No body has them chained down.

40 years in the desert....... but they left Egypt..... just cause you dont have a comfortable means to leave doesn't mean you lack the ability.

As someone who has actually looked into emigrating, it's actually difficult as an American to emigrate into most countries unless you have skills the country needs, family, and/or money. You can't just move to another country like you can move to another state.

Are you sure you can't grow fairy wings and ride on a cloud to emigrate ?

Im aware of this....migrating to another country isn't easy.... but aside from complaining what are you doing to change it?

Do you think that when people came to this country it was easy?

No they wanted in so they did what they had to.

If you dont do what you have to in order to to get out....... how bad do you really want to leave?

There are people that go to great lengths to escape their country.... aside from saying "I hate it here" what have YOU done to help get you out?

That was really cool of you to do for FireGirl, Wayholka. An exemplary Christian deed if I may say so, there.

Narrowed the list down to two countries, researched the various methods of entry and visas that each of the countries have that I might eligible for, spoken to people who have emigrated to find out more information, and am currently considering my best options.
