Huh?
If your mother is a dolt and your father is a dolt then you are most probably a dolt. Some people hold that only one parent has to be one but they are dolts.
In my dictionary= a dolt is someone that throws in their two cents in td CR.
what’s so hard to understand, dolt!
the gemara says “B’mumo Possel” so you are what you call others 😛
Its funny how the word dolt is getting a revival here. I wouldnt be surprised if most people under the age of 20 if not oldernever heard of the word.
When a boy becomes bar-mitzvah, at that moment he is a-dolt.
so many dolts, so little time
what’s so hard to understand, dolt!
Welcome to the the world of dolty.
the gemara says “B’mumo Possel” so you are what you call others 😛
yeah I figured you would do that but didn’t care anyways
you made me laugh, ca & is:)
If the fat lady says so
Rav avigdor miller quotes new testament that a jew who called another jew “reika” (empty of knowledge, aka an am ha’aretz) was subject to a stiff fine. Perhaps the moderators should fine people who call others dolts
I wonder what the Chofetz Chaim says about how many lavs are being committed when name calling.
Anyone know?
And why this is being allowed in a yeshiva setting is unsettling.
Mods, r u there?
right here, and laughing
am yisrael chai~ welcome to my world :/
am yisrael chai~ at least you got a Mod response.. I didn’t in the other threads :/
Always
I’m with you.
Now how are we supposed to teach young ones that name calling is improper when you have “adults” doing it? And within our fold. Now I understand better when learning that before Moshiach comes, knowing right from wrong becomes blurred…
the epitome of a TROLL thread… it amazes me that this wasn’t closed/deleted/shot down immediately! :/
mod response. You wanted one.
always
clearly.
BUT there’s no such concept of acceptable trolling in halacha when it entails being ???? on many issurim such as disparaging, ridiculing, name calling and degrading.
There are other trollers on this site who did not resort to such low “standards” in their quest for many posts.
you twitty dolt.
Rabbosai,
I was recently reading the biography of Rav Pam zt”l (whose yahrtzeit is 28 Menachem Ov), and I remembered that one of the many points that Rav Pam is remembered for was his great sensitivity with both the spoken and written word.
Hamaivin yavin.
that’s true BS, however he would’ve never said it, and you can’t put the onus on him that way because then anyone can go around saying “jokes” while at the same time hurting people you know you remind me of a story with another Bar, Bar Kamtza!
So if you shoot everyone with blank bullets, they should all know it’s a joke?
By calling people names “as a joke” you are desensitizing yourself, and trying to desensitize others, to a certain standard of behavior. We need to be working on improving ourselves, not bringing ourselves down.
I would like to clarify something:
I was not following the thread and I don’t know who started it (nor do I care to know). The title of the thread caught my attention and I felt a response was appropriate.
I never had the zechus to meet Rav Pam zt”l. However, based on what I’ve read and what I heard over the years, I believe that he would not have approved of the use of any derogatory word, even though “it’s just a joke.” Yes, Rav Pam picked up on nuances – but he still would not have approved of slurs or the like.
Truth is, all of this is a reminder to myself – how careful am I about how I speak? Room for improvement.
Really??
I don’t actually follow your cheshbon. What did you find funny about the story of bar kamtza? Which member of the story was trying to be funny?
i didn’t find anything funny about the story of kamtza and bar kamtza (just like i don’t find anything funny about calling people dolts)
My point about akmtza and bar kamtza is that people have feelings and even though you don’t think that they still do
As for Rav Pam, I’m sure there are lots of things that I say that he would never say. My point was that he was sensitive to the nuances of the words used. The nuances are very important when communicating. I figure with his attention to detail he would have noticed the choice of slurs and its broad use of calling everyone a dolt and at the same time noone in particular.
don’t give me that, it’s obvious that you only started calling everyone else dolts when always here got insulted, and the only reason you did that was to cover up.
but anyways nothing I said will have any effect on you because like I stated before you’re a teenager and your brain still is undeveloped
“New scientific discoveries have put a much different perspective on the understanding
of adolescent behavior. Research now suggests that the human brain is still maturing during the
adolescent years, with changes continuing into the early 20s. The immature brain of the
teenage years may not only explain why adolescents are prone to make poor decisions, but it
may also place teenagers at an elevated risk to the harmful effects of drugs.
Work In Progress
Advanced technologies in brain imaging have provided windows to the developing
brain. Based on the pioneering work of Jay Giedd and colleagues at the National Institute of
Mental Health in the United States, evidence is accumulating that the brain is not fully formed at
puberty as earlier thought, but continues important maturation that is not complete until about
age 24.”
anyways I see you’re not man enough to apologize
this is my last post on the topic
Why is this thread continuing when it serves no purpose? It seems that one particular poster continues to want to insult people. Most of us come here to ask questions, talk, comment, discuss, learn and have a few laughs in the appropriate threads. I think this thread has run its course.
mods- why are you allowing this thread to continue?
I apologize to all needing an apology in the name of all needing to apologize.
It only works thay way by mormons.
It only works thay way by morons (sic).
Why not bring this back?
Because Bar shattya is back in yeshiva until like chanuka out shabbos.
OK, good enough reason.
are you one? why didnt you know that on your own?
adorable why are you asking if he’s a dolt? No prying personal info here! 🙂
no I am saying that he is one for not knowing that he’s back in yeshiva.
ouch! I made the same mistake here .
Ok, I can handle being a dolt.
no I am saying that he is one for not knowing that he’s back in yeshiva.
Some yeshivos don’t start until rosh chodesh.
My yeshiva was in session on chol hamoed, and yomtov too!
WHAT IS A DOLT?????????????????????????
bump (for reference)
Is a dolt like a snortface?
My Artscroll chumash lists this as one of the Aseres Hadibros, “Though Shalt not commit Adoltary.”
<— still missing CR Poster am yisrael chai !
