Bubka, why would you even ASK such a thing?!? Killing animals simply for the sake of killing is CRUEL. Hashem teaches us that we need to have respect for ALL creation, including animals. I’m fairly certain that the ONLY, and I repeat ONLY times you should be killing animals is if they are sick/injured and suffering to the point where you cannot heal/cure them in any way, and to release them from their pain, OR, if the animals are kosher and you’re going to shecht them for Jewish consumption, but of course this does not apply to cats. yytz said it more succinctly than I did.
Uneeq, you’re forgetting that those “filthy” cats that are homeless and running feral around Jerusalem, were once brought in to kill infestations of rats and mice. If someone were kind enough to spay/neuter many of them, as well as give them homes, you won’t have to deal with them. On the other hand, if you don’t like cats, just move away from them.
Thanks Curiosity for the warning/word of caution. One of the main reasons why I approved my husband giving it out here (other than the fact that this is a jewish forum), is because I have several email accounts, and my Yahoo account is considered my “trash”/spam account, lol. It used to be my personal email, but then I realized that “naturelover613” didn’t sound very professional on resumes.
It also happens to be the one I use for WoW, hence the real ID thing. You might have wondered why my husband didn’t put his email up for real ID- the reason: his WoW email is his personal one (and not his “trash”/spam email). I think the idea was that, if frum people would real ID me, he can add them as well, in-game.
I get plenty of spam (and probably virus emails) on my yahoo, simply because anything I sign up for on the interwebz, I use my yahoo email. Thankfully, yahoo’s spam filter is pretty amazing, and if something does manage to get through it into my inbox (which is very, VERY rare), I know what to look for in the subject line, and add it to my spam filter (I rarely open my spam, unless it’s one of those “my rich husband passed away and wants to give you $10 million” emails, and just for the laughs, and I absolutely will NEVER click on links in my spam emails). So far, B”H, I haven’t had that email address hijacked- and the only sane way someone would be able to hijack and figure out my password, would be to get a keylogger on my computer-probably by me clicking on the links in my spam emails (which I never do, cuz I’m s-m-r-t). Not to mention, I’m very proud of my complicated passwords, lol. 😀
I’m surprised to see people who would vote for Obama, simply in order to get government benefits so they can continue to learn in kollel instead of working. You should realize that the money you receive is from Hashem. Hashem determines how much money you’re going to get each year, no matter what you do to try to get it (whether it is working at a job, government assistance, gambling, or the lottery). Meaning that, whoever you vote for, you will still get however much money Hashem wants you to get, in order to help you continue learning. If the benefits that you’re getting from the government do get cut, you need to have bitachon in Hashem that the government support you are lacking will end up coming from somewhere else. If Hashem wants you to not get as much money as you did the year before, Obama getting elected will not change that. Your wife might, Chas V’shalom, lose her job. Don’t assume that if Obama gets elected, you will be safe from losing the money that enables you to raise a family and learn in Kollel all day long. As the famous saying goes…Man plans and G-d laughs.
Repharim’s wife here. I had to sign up for this forum when he showed me this thread he started, lol. It’s really great seeing so many of us willing to admit that we play computer games.
@Queen Bee I thought I was a hard-core gamer, until I saw that you’ve effectively played about double or maybe triple the amount of games I’ve played in my life, lol. You should TOTALLY play Skyrim, it’s awesome! If you ever think of coming back to WoW, let me know and I’ll send you a rez! I saw my husband’s idea, and you know, if we can get enough of us Jewish gamers to transfer over to our server, I really think we would make a guild like that.
The real ID email my husband gave out is my email (yes, I approved of it, lol), so feel free to real ID me (and by extension, my husband), I certainly won’t mind having some Jewish friends on WoW! 🙂
