    SJS: how well do you understand the lashon of the prayers? much of what you’re probably saying on your own is impimented into the standard tefila. maybe you should sit down and learn perush hamilim. then you won’t feel like it’s a waste – you’ll be able to really pray with kavana. just a thought.

    you’re right on target but i wouldn’t label myself as “looking for a shidduch.” thank God i have a life besides for that. i’m not one of those girls who when you ask what they do you half expect the answer to be “waiting to get married…”

    2) you mean women suffrage? Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and another lady – Mottt

    3) lincoln – john wilks booth(e?)

    garfield – ??

    mckinley – ??

    kennedy – oswald

    i get what you’re saying but it’s not just that. i was saying how sad it is that it has to be that way. the the nature of a person is to cry and ask more than to thank and praise. you follow?

    the saddest part is that when things are hard it’s so easy to pray. the words just come. it hurts me to say this but when things are great, my tfilos are not all that hot. does anyone else notice this trend?

    you totally googled that one! yeah Grant sent a letter to Lincoln, but Lincoln revoked it. it recently came up when obama won. trying to get him to stand up for us by showing him that we were in the same boat at the same time.

    yeah but why is it under lock-and-key at every single moment? you don’t TRUST them to be alone for even a moment?!

    and correct me if i’m wrong, but i did depict a clear picture. i never said “because i said so.” i just did my best to give you reason to believe me. but like they say in kiruv: proof doesn’t work. it just turns people off. i guess that goes for anything people don’t really want to hear.

    i believe i made myself very clear. if you want to ignore me, go ahead. but don’t EVER say you weren’t warned. not in this world and not in the next.

    SJS – not every kid faces the same problems. i can guarantee though, that any kid who does, is not ready to get married by 18. not saying it never happens, but plenty of people do things they shouldn’t.

    you’re forgetting that i was a teen at risk. or past the “at risk” stage. (what’s that called?!?!) my parents are far from stupid. they’re just sincere. probably too much. i’m not trying to change your mind. (partially cuz i know i can’t) i just want you to be aware. running away from facts won’t get you anywhere. and trying to disprove a FACT is just stupid. facts are what they are. this is not merely an opinion.

    look at the whole picture: in general, kids can do a lot of dangerous things with a phone. compare the pros and cons. you thinks there are no cons? good for you! you think the pros outweigh the cons? great. just realize you may be forced to change your opinion on that one. in my opinion (and this is an OPINION!) there are no pros in the world that could possibly outweigh the cons in this situation. but maybe i feel that way because i was burnt by it.

    just btw – look back at the thread. who agrees with most of what i’m saying? the teenagers, of course! we could lie and sweep all the issues under the carpet. but that’s not the truth. and this anonymous site allows me to speak the truth.

    i have nothing more to say to you. take my advice or leave it.

    rubbing in the fact that i’m at a disadvantage because i don’t learn gemara?? not fair!

    anyway, that doesn’t reflect specific articles of clothing, does it?

    also, (i’m gonna sound really dumb but like i said: i’m at an unfair disadvantage) gemara is torah she’baal peh. what’s written in the gemara is considered derabanon?

    and btw we still have to listen to what the gedolim say. regardless.

    on phones? and here in america? and there’s no way to un-block it?

    sure, the internet is currently blocked on my phone. but i know that i could undo it at any given moment. you just have to know how – and it’s not that difficult to figure out.

    question: is there actually anywere in the torah that states to specific obligations? no! all we find are pesukim that allude to the actual requirements. so the basics are all derabanon. which is just as important. (if you disagree PLEASE don’t let us know about it. we’re not interested.)

    way back, some things just didn’t exist. women did not wear pants. period. so obviously when the style came around, rabbonim decided to assur it. there is no clear-cut “list” because new things are constantly being added.

    just because our generation is numb to the concept, doesn’t make it muttar. it just makes the world a place of idiots.

    you’re wrong. that’s such a convoluted way of thinking. i just hope for your sake (and your kids’) that you don’t get burnt.

    and just for the record:

    ~ i know the last 4 digets of both my parents’ SS numbers. it came up once when my mother was making a call and i remember them both.

    ~ i put text messaging on my phone the day i got it. (i’m not so bad – i did have permission – but my point is that i was able to activate it on my own.)

    ~ and i personally activated internet on my phone. without any info. all you do is press the button.

    apparently there’s another problem: parents don’t even KNOW half the technology that their kids know. at least be up to date!
