yoshi: Early Mazal Tov!
jf02, Those union talking-points are factually inaccurate. You provide mere talking-points (i.e. being fired for that reason) without evidence. The fact is, they have a legal and legitimate business right to oppose unionization, a wise move considering the havoc and closure unions have caused elsewhere — and why private sector America has very little unionization these days.
Wolf: Thanks.
P.S. Wolf (off-topic), how do you accomplish the italics?
Litvish? Chasidish? Sfardic?
Wolf: How do you accomplish the italics here?
squeak:
So you ARE a Manhattan liberal…
cantoresq: What is your idea of “real” Jewish music?
Thank G-d they refuse unions. Otherwise the union thugs would wreck havoc, like they decimated many other business, ultimately shooting themselves in the foot.
Union percentage of the American workforce has been going down for the past 50 years constantly, and for good reason.
… they have long been and will remain strong players.
cantoresq: wishful thinking.
I suggest we all buy 2 copies of the paper, to show our support for their following Daas Torah.
sheesh, GMAB. You didn’t say what you seemed to say, did you?
Say you don’t deny G-d too…
TO”HIGHSCHOOL”GUY:
This thread is open to those 21 years of age and older!
noitallmr – The reason you gave is reason enough!
Evolution, by its very definition, explicitly denies the existence of G-d.
27 MINUS 2 = 25 (how much they should’ve paid)
jf02, In general, in any Wal-Mart. They have a very liberal return policy. And they are even more liberal in enforcing the few provisions they officially state.
They work on the logic that if they are easy to return to, people will buy from them more liberally – even if they are unsure if they want/need/correct product – with the knowledge they can return it easily without problems.
Feivel (& oomis1105),
According to the shitta on WikiAnswers:
While on the face of it a pound of feathers would seem to weigh the same as a pound of gold, this overlooks the fact that gold is universally weighed using a different definition of ‘pound’ than that used for most other materials.
Precious metals such as gold are measured in troy weight. A troy pound is 12 troy ounces, and each troy ounce is 480 grains, making a total of 5760 grains to the pound of gold.
Most materials use pounds and ounces from the avoirdupois system, and such a standard pound is made up of 16 ounces, where each ounce is 437.5 grains, making a total of 7000 grains to the pound of feathers.
All this means that a “pound” of feathers (or bricks, or lead) is heavier than a “pound” of gold.
jf02, I’ve had the opposite experience in Wal-Mart. They are very liberal in accepting returns.
oomis1105, a pound is a pound (the same)

Thanks

noitallmr – make sure that cousin doesn’t duplicate his weight loss…
squeak – Don’t be so hard on yourself.
noitallmr, Wal-Mart is all of the above. Its a giant department store (or “SuperCenter”) with everything from groceries, electronics, automobile service and products, clothing, toys, housewares, and everything in between.
GMAB: If you were the only man I ever met, I too might have thought man came from monkey.
Thank You Feivel.
And since the Gedolim said so, it is so.
Thank You Feivel.
Feivel also put his reply in the original thread (where you can discuss it further):

646,
Go to the appropriate thread, provide whatever SPECIFIC PROOF you have of either evolution or manmade global warming, that you wish refuted. I will no longer discuss the same issue repeatedly on three different threads. Talk about it in its original venue.
Talk about it in the other thread.
squeak – contrary to what you may have thought from your copy of the NYTimes – humor has not been banned on YW.
GMAB: See the “P.S.” in the other link, and respond there if you feel necessary. I won’t try discussing it in two seperate threads.
646,
Apparently Judaism comes across as radical to you. But nevertheless, like I said above with the link, I responded in the other thread.
Jewess, did they by any chance contain anything “red”?
“Joseph, don’t make a statement if you aren’t prepared to explain/defend it.”
I explained it in quite detail in the other thread we discussed this in:
hideous? Wal-Mart (as well as Costco, Sam’s Club) are rather highly liberal in what they’ll take back. (Missing packaging, accessories, months later, no receipt.)
squeak – as long as you yell “L’Chaim”!
“Huh? And how do you explain that?”
You wouldn’t understand anyways.
Wow. Look at all these shikkurim here!
(I can’t wait for the flack…)
cantoresq, don’t believe a disbeliever.
smalltowngirl, I can’t imagine anyone took that comment literally…
If a man says something in the forest, and his wife isn’t there to hear him, he is still wrong.
Btw, my “protestations of piety” is the piety of my Rebbeim and posek, not c’v my own.
cantoresq, there is a lot you don’t believe.
Wolf, Perhaps the currency exchange, at the time it supposedly took place, was more favorable!
“if you knew anything about these movements”
I know more about them than you care to know. I intentionally skewered their names, as they are undeserving of even the slightest modicum of respect.
“that they are legitimate forms of Judaism.”
Not a shred of legitimacy. Their so-called “legitimacy” is perhaps a small notch above Jews for Yushke. None of them are Judaism. Their leaders have reserved seating in gehenim.
“This does not apply to Reform and Reconstructionist Jews who accept patrilineal descent, but would you say that a member of the Conservative movement who has Jewish parents, grandparents, etc. is in fact not a Jew?”
Some of their adherents are Jewish (assuming maternal Jewish descent.) But NONE of them practice any form of Judaism.
P.S. None of these points are my own, but rather those of Gedolei Yisroel from the time these illegitimate movements reared their ugly heads until today.
P.P.S. It is these types of “viewpoints” that you express, that are purely heretical, and is what is being discussed in the “Tenor of Discussion” thread.
“I would never do something that all ORTHODOX poskim unanimously prohibit.”
This doesn’t change one iota my previous response to your comment “I would never do something that all poskim unanimously prohibit.”
“Conservative, Reform, and Reconstructionist. I have a great deal of respect for these rabbis, but I lead a different lifestyle than they do and would never pasken according to their teshuvot.”
Thats a fig-leaf. Conservative, Reform, and Reconstructionist are not Judaism. I also presume you would never pasken according Wahhabi Islam.
“after all, the money belonged to both of them!”
Incorrect. Halachicly, the money belongs to the husband (unless it predates the marriage.) My point is halachic, not whether he should have consulted her or not.
cantoresq, There is no such point.
(SJS’s hypothetical point would theoretically qualify, but it is such a far stretch ofthe imagination with such infrequency in history, as to being practically irrelevant. And if in such an occurance, would be so obvious as to render discussion irrelevant.)
Mazal,
Thank you for those beautiful posts. Emes always has a way of coming out on top.
ICOT: I’m still eagerly await a response from you on our long-ago discussion! You were supposed to ask a shaila… 🙂
