Pardon my ignorance, but I think I missed something. Popa, what is the problem with the HPV vaccine?
Popa,
Child abuse? Really? I can understand the reservation of some in the frum community about the HPV vaccine, but it does prevent several different kinds of cancers. It also has provides protection to males for some other diseases.
I wan’t to pose a question. If the victim was Jewish, would we even be having this conversation?
I imagine that we’d all be running (rightfully so) to put the cop behind bars.
Just food for thought.
Cops can restrain suspects. They CAN’T put a suspect’s life at risk.
Garner was not resisting arrest, nor was he a threat to anyone. He was murdered by the cop, plain and simple.
Let’s say he did resist arrest and pushed the cop (which the video clearly shows to be false). How does that give the cop the right to put him in a dangerous chokehold? It’s not like Garner was a threat. There were multiple officers around him, so I doubt that he could have hurt anyone.
He did deny wrongdoing, but I don’t see why that’s relevant. In America, everyone is entitled to a trial and is presumed innocent until proven otherwise.
Garner did not physically resist arrest. I watched the video several times. He only starts to struggle when the cop puts his arm around his neck.
You can call me a liberal if that makes you feel better, but it does not change the facts. Eric Garner was killed by the police officer who put him in a chokehold.
Resisting arrest? Really? Garner said “don’t touch me” a few times. That’s it. How is that resisting arrest?
Exactly. Garner deserved a ticket. Nothing more than that.
Had he resisted arrest, Garner would be facing a potential felony. But fortunately, we have a tape of what occurred. It is clear from the film that Garner did not physically resist officers from arresting him. He was clearly upset at the situation, but did not in any way resist arrest.
Eric Garner did not resist arrest. Watch the video. He in no way physically opposed his arrest.
Garner was killed by the police officer on duty that night. No question about it.
We must protest his death and the outcome of the grand jury.
Health, pardon my ignorance, but what was he supposed to do? My understanding of police responsibility is that cops should our streets safe. Garner wasn’t a threat to anyone. Sure he was breaking the law, but in America we have a legal process where everyone is entitled to a trial. And last
I checked the penalty for selling loose cigarettes is not death.
The Ralbag went great lengths to explain how many of the miracles in Tanach were just natural occurrences. They way it was explained to me, God prefers to work within the system of rules that he created. God doesn’t like breaking the rules of physics. At least not too much.
no?
Sam,
What else do you think the Sanhedrin might change?
Popa, if you’ve ever met someone who is so depressed that they can’t get out of bed, or so manic they won’t sleep for days, you wouldn’t throw the words bipolar around so lightly.
Or maybe you have met someone who is bipolar. In that case, I believe you are a highly insensitive individual.
Advice from anonymous posters is overrated. Speak to a professional for health advice.
See a qualified psychologist
You may have an anxiety disorder. It has nothing to do with bitachon. Our body’s are supposed to feel anxious from time to time. Without any any anxiety, we couldn’t live productive lives.
What happens to many people is that their brain has some chemical malfunction which causes them to feel unnecessary and irrational anxiety. This is not uncommon, and can be treated in several ways (benzodaizepines, SSRIs, talk therapy).
Popa, I was looking for an answer, not a sarcastic on liner.
Can someone explain this whole Uman thing? Why do you have to shlep to Ukraine to daven? There are plenty of good minyanim around the world.
Rebbe Nachman is dead. How can you “be by Rebbe Nachman for Rosh Hashanah”?
How much bad as Obama done to label his as Gog?
Sam, you mention yoga as avoda zara. Why do you say this?
What does he say about democrats?
PBA,
If you work such long hours, how do you have time to post in the coffee room?
Interesting. Where did he say that? (i’m not trying to be antagonistic, i’m just curious)
What has he said or done that makes his an apikores?
Hakatan, why must everything be about zionism with you?
Exactly what DaMoshe said. If chardeidim in Israel don’t want to work, thats fine. It’s their own decision to make. But they should not expect the state (which they hold to be traif) to support them.
Hakatan,
How exactly is Israel trying to change our people from a Torah-based nation to a goy based nation?
By supporting the most Talmud Torah in the world today? By asking them to share in the mitzva of securing the state of israel?
Or maybe by providing an all male unite of soldiers.
Getzel,
The state of Israel owes chariedim nothing. Absolutely nothing. Every cent that they have given to the chreidim has been a gift.
It’s like if I give a poor man 20 dollars every week. One week, I only give him ten. He has absolutely no right to complain that he only received 10 dollars. Every penny I gave him was a gift. He didn’t earn it or deserve it.
Chareidim in Israel are upset that the money that they receive as gifts are being cut. What chutzta!!!
Like Sam2 said, Israel provides money to every family in the country.
If you don’t celebrate Yom Haatzmaut, thats fine. But please show some hakas hatov towards the state for supporting the most Torah study in the world.
HaKatan,
The zionists, both of yesteryear and now, were the single most supporter of Torah study in the world. Period. No question about it. So please stop your vitriolic comments about the state of Israel. If anything, you should be thanking them.
