• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Hahah, did you really just compare your god to a fictional serial killer?

See, I knew you could get it! (ETA - naah, you really couldn't even keep up with the intellectual prowess of a bot. It had to be explained to you)

Can I ask why you so seldom actually engage in the conversation?
What I find most fascinating is that you seem to acquiesce that others are indeed treating you like a bot, and the only thing you do is come back with another one liner.

You'd rather he get all butthurt? I think he adapts quite well, and has offered such insight as to stump many, repeatedly! (A time or two he has even made me stop and think; not in this thread, but still)

Are you against homeschoolers?

If this is what homeschooling produces, then yeah, kinda.

I'm not overly fond of homeschooling because only RARELY are the adults responsible for the schooling capable teachers in the topics necessary.

That's just my personal beef. I know there are many quite bright homeschool students and lots of parents who are really good at a lot of things.

But I never felt all that confident in ability to teach outside of my area of expertise, and I do see a lot of homeschoolers pulled out of general society for all the wrong reasons by parents who don't really have the skills to teach someone.

I assume you are smarter than the bot you have programmed here but I'm not impressed by the general level of engagement you show in the conversation. So there you have it. My honest opinion.

Oh, yeah, btw: you're supposedly 27 years old. Why are you still on about "homeschooling"? Aren't you through college now? Homeschooling should have ended for you about 8 or 9 years ago. I assume.

Perhaps he agrees with the answers.

He never really says anything to that effect. Just another question. Usually leveraged off a word in the original post or a synonym of a word in the original post. I am not a programmer but I assume that sort of "lookup table" type of work is do-able?

In any event, I like his style.

He has a "style"? I thought his posts were rather "style free".

It allows for the most amount of information to be conveyed in the shortest space.

Wow...he has posted something that contains information????

Where?

Of course you like his style. It is evasive and doesn't accomplish anything. It happens to be your style.

To be fair to AV1611VET, the posts of his that I've seen you can actually tell there's someone on the other end of the line. May not like much of what AV1611VET says or espouses or thinks, but at least he seems to "be there".

A bot would respond to every post equally, so why don't I?

Too busy posting a GIGANTIC picture of Nessie?

So if you're not a bot, you don't really engage in the conversation at an adult level and post giant pictures which just make a page annoying, then I guess you're only here to annoy?

That's cool. If it "gets you off" I guess it's OK.

Enjoy.

Ok so what'd you do to make the screen go 2x wide?

Speaking of keep up with the intelligence of a bot....if the jpeg is too large it will show up at that size on the post. That's why the page goes that wide. It can't really be undone unless the poster bothers to do it.

But aren't you glad our poster friend isn't a bot? A bot might have actually CARED that its wasting bandwidth and people's time to post a picture far too large for just about any laptop.

I find it amusing that people can't keep up with the intelligence of a bot,
especially when most of what they do is rag on people like AV who can

AV1611VET has gone beyond "keeping up" with the intelligence of the bot to praising it. Makes him seem a little less discerning.

Yeh, when I first looked at the page the pic wasn't up yet, but the page was already wide. An interwebz anomaly, but not of the proportions of WHOA NESSIE! So who's our resident crypto zoologist picture identifier, NCG the astro-physicist, right?
