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.

Wish I knew.. I don't like thread necromancy because I feel "awkward" about posting in threads so old. Where the people who posted might not even be members anymore, or maybe their opinions have changed, and what not.
It's like conversing with ghosts. Weirds me out.. so now I have a bunch of threads I really don't wanna reply to, but they're all on the main page

In tune with some, out of tune with others
You are right, you can't really get over the whole stage fright thing.
I don't think that you can ever get over the stage fright thing, though. I've done several open mike nights, and sometimes I can't even think of what to play. The worst part is that I can't seem to bring myself to play for family and friends. I get really nervous just thinking about it. I'm supposed to go this weekend to a ladies guitar weekend, and while I'm excited about meeting new people, the thought of playing for them frightens me.
Glad to hear that you had a great weekend. It's funny, but I spent part of my time watching a documentary about the pharmaceutical industry! I bet that is not the way you would want to spend your free time!

I've seen it a few times, but right now I can't remember the exact name. I saw it while I was flipping through the channels yesterday. It was on Free Speech TV.
It had a lot of former pharmaceutical reps talking about what they used to do and why they left the profession. It also talked about how advertising has influenced people's perception of new drugs. Patients are now coming in and demanding the new drugs, which tend to be more expensive than older, more established drugs.
There was a doctor on there who, before he closed his practice, said that he had a difficult time convincing his patients that older, more established drugs were actually better for them than the newer drugs that were advertised on TV. He is now a doctor involved in research.
When I get time tonight, I'll look up the name for you. Sometimes this documentary is also shown on LinkTV.
