Give Me a Break

yoshi:

I understand where you’re coming from. However, I’d like to ask you something: Why should animal suffer and die so that you could eat it?

yoshi:

It’s “Mr.”

And of course I would save the life of the baby before that of the kitten! But I wouldn’t kill the kitten.

And pro-life in babies has EVERYTHING to do with the prevention of unnecessary death/pain to innocent animals.

mw13:

To clarify – if indeed I am clashing with da’as torah, it is not my direct intention to do so.

mw13:

I don’t know whether or not I am going against Da’as Torah, but REVOLTING? That I’m not doing. Besides, America is not exactly a medina shel Torah, and unless you wish to be like the radical Muslims in Britain who wish to impose shari’a on the country, don’t mix halacha with American law.

mariner:

Unborn babies are UNBORN; living animals are LIVING, BREATHING, and FEELING!

Bogen:

If it could be determined that the female animal would not wish to carry the fetus, then yes, I WOULD support the abortion of the non-human fetus.

Bogen:

I get the strong sense that you’re wrong.

Bogen:

Oh? And I get the feeling that you’re at home alone in your apartment, having nothing better to do than make up stories about me.

If you drew that “conclusion” from the fact that I wrote only about my siblings, it’s because my age, marital status, and parental status is of no business of “Zalman”‘s. But he so much wants to know about “the mishpacha” that I didn’t want to leave him empty-handed.

Zalman:

Aw, that’s sweet. But what does my age or parental status have anything to do with anything?

BATTLE OF THE TEXT MESSAGES

The day of the election, a friend forwarded the following message to me:

Use your brain

and vote McCain;

don’t be a ‘bahama’ (beheimah)

and don’t vote for Obama!

I replied:

Don’t be insane

to vote for McCain;

keep up the drama

and vote for Obama!

I also sent this to a few other friends, and this is one reply I got:

It will be hard to refrain

from voting for McCain

for he has put his country first;

everyone can see,

both you and me,

that only he can uench our thirst.

So don’t be fooled by Obama’s rhetoric and drama,

for beneath his veneer

his views become clear

that they are aligned with Hussein and Osama!

In due time,

we’ll view the sublime.

The drama will unfold

and the truth will be told.

And it will be quite queer

that we did not see what was clear.

And how we will rue the day

when we were swept away

to become the slave

of McCain’s conclave,

and we will wish that it was history

that Obama claimed victory!

noitallmr:

Of course! That’s why I started this thread!

sueak:

Thanks for the compliment.

Joseph:

In the Tertiary Period in North America.

GILA:

“…give your condolences where it matters…”

He’s our president-elect, and he’ll be our president VERY soon. That doesn’t matter?

“…ppl who hate your guts…”

Why do you think Obama “hates our guts?”

“…and cant wait till the day you all die”

Don’t YOU believe he’s going to blow us all to smithereens? Yeah, right.

torahls1:

Ugh.

I can’t see it.

mstrram:

Must be the rise in Wall Street.

mstrram:

I’m asking who you think WILL win, not who you WANT to win.

mstrram:

He’s NOT a “yishmaeli,” whatever anyone put into your head.

I say McBama… but probably Obama.

If McCain wins, which I daven he doesn’t, Obama still gets the popular vote.

Dear Senator Obama:

My sincere condolences upon the tragic loss of your beloved maternal grandmother, Madelyn P. Dunham. How hard it must be for you to lose here so close to the US Presidential Elections! At a time when you should be tentatively joyous and hopeful, you are cruelly forced to mourn on a prominent figure in your life. May she and your parents, Barack H. Obama and S. Ann Dunham, rejoice tomorrow upon your victory.

My heartfelt sympathy, and best wishes for your electoral success,

D.E.
