• 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.

You sure that wasn't 9/11 you were talking about?
Yep. You may want to sit down as I break the news to you..... 9/11 is US only. I know you guys think the world revolves around you but it doesn't. Much of the rest of the world, for instance, writes the date 11/9 and uses other numbers for contacting emergency services. And that doesn't make us all Al-Qaeda supporters

I implied no such thing. It's an inference made only if you don't understand the phrase "much of".
Okay. :)

You said 9/11 was U.S. only.

I took that literally.

I assumed you were talking about the event known as 9/11. I wanted to point out that the name for a US only event uses a predominantly US date format which also matches a predominantly US emergency services number. While we are aware of the event, most of the rest of the world does not celebrate or commemorate it.
