  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

It says I'm southern, I guess Indiana is the northern most southern state (a friend of mine always pointed out that we were only 1 vote away from seceding in the civil war, we have a rather unfortunate past the the klan also).

I deny it, I'm a solid yankee and refuse to be insulted otherwise. My family moved from North Carolina (a county with the family name) before the civil war, we sold our slaves and moved north. Strong quaker background in our family.

No intention to insult southerners, I have a friend with a strong southern accent. I give her a hard time all the time, but really do appreciate her. But I'm proud to be a northerner, not sure I'm proud to be a hoosier.
