I just don’t think about it
why should we
Prof. Alan Lichtman of American University has a method of predicting the popular vote winner in Presidential elections. It has a 100% success record in every election from 1860 to 2008. Only the Harlem Globetrotters and the University of Connecticut women’s basketball team have similar streaks going right now.
The method identifies 13 keys. If six favor the party out of power, it wins. However, only four favor the Republicans right now and it isn’t clear how two of them are going to change, especially since the tax deal will have the effect of stimulating the economy
you realize this is as it stands.
A lot can happen in two years so wake up and smell the coffee (actually stay asleep thinking Obama will win, gives you less motivation to vote)
That is a very nice suggestion. However, being a female, it is much less practical to put into practice. I shudder to think what would happen if I would wish Mexican workers a good day…
How about the mexican, or indian cashier (who might happen to be a lady) a nice day, there are numerous women you can do that to, too
And I fully agree with WIY it does make you (rather me) and feel in a better mood too.
I wouldn’t be suprised of biasedness.
these people are sick
Amen squeak
for some reason these people didn’t look kosher from the start
Elementary my dear blueberrymuffin,
you are distantly related to charlie brown
I won a “trip to LA” which was really a check for $500 and a stay in a timeshare (we used it for the same timeshare in orlando)
very funny though
WIY,
unless it’s a lubavitch yeshiva
oh i see, i guess.
its a din in the cheftza not the gavra 😉
what do you call part in town part out of town?
Is ner yisrael considered that (has a lot of boys from baltimore)?
what’s a full out of town yeshiva?
cherrybim,
may i personally ask,
what caused you to attack my maturity?
I have been to an “out of town” yeshiva (at least for me it was) (most of the people there were in-towners)
Have you?
and i see your comment is very mature
A young bocher is much more vulnerable in an out of town yeshiva compared with the protection of a home environment.
maybe people should never leave home, marry their next door neighbor and live in their parents basement!
whenever a bachur is released from his “protection” he becomes vulnerable because he won’t learn to be independant until he needs to and then it might be too late
In town rebbe thinks: I can ignore this, he has his parents. Heck, I don’t even need to share my reservations with anyone.
Out of town rebbe thinks: I must not ignore this because this boy is far, far from home, and I have been invested with the sacred charge of en loco parentis.
I don’t get your pretexts, personally i feel a rebbe will focus on an out of town bachur more than an in-towner
Bochrim who have learned to impersonate are those who have an easier time getting shidduchim, but not necessarily maintaining marriages.
Bochrim need outlets and their emotional needs today cannot always be displaced by additional learning. This is where family support and interaction are advantages.
You’re talking about a yeshiva bachur not a seminary girl, right?
teenage boys as a klal don’t talk to their parents about their problems, this is where a rebbe steps in, but if your in town not neccisarily will a rebbe step in because you have your parents to “talk” to
cherry so are you saying that a person from “out of town” (a place that there is no high school) has a disadvantage to shteiging (or not going off the derech) than does one that doesn’t
We’ve been spoiled. Our local yeshiva is minutes away and there’ve been times I’ve barely seen my boys till Shabbos. And they do their own laundry, to boot, so they are getting some valuable skills, are they not?
P.S. Sense of dependency?
I’ve seen people in “In town” yeshivas staying in the dorms and when they can’t interact with other kids, then “they just sleep at home” which is what they probably want, but it doesn’t teach them how to deal with problems, running away isn’t an option
thank you health you are right,
the problem is I went to a mesivta for high school therefore i inadvertantly called it mesivta
I was only there for beis medrash like I stated above and had little or no shaychis to the mechina (as stated above)
ron, the difference is where making fun of a nationality not a religion
tzippi, I think the opposite!
A person needs his sense of dependency at this time, and not stuck to his parents!
I’ve been to Beis Medrash in Ner Yisrael and it’s good if you don’t mind a big place (the rebbeim in the beis medrash are great, but I don’t know that much about the mesivta)
of course!
how do you know the wine bottle opener was made in France?
b/c when you push down it’s “head” the “arms” shoot up like it’s surrendering
you mean a joke about french people right? (as opposed to a joke in french)

lol,
I know what you mean! when ever i speak to a foriegner i try talking like them, like you no see etc.
I think mordechai shmutter talks about it in an article
And remember that we honor those who die al kiddush HaShem. I have even heard shiurim by rabbonim saying that that is the highest thing to which a Jew can aspire.
you should be ashamed of yourself charlie!!! comparing jews that die Al Kiddush Hashem to arabs that kill in the name of G-d one is a proactive role one is an active role
In Islam, martyrdom is desirable only under specific conditions (i.e., when Muslim communities are under threat of attack by non-Muslims, or when the Umma – the Muslim equivalent to the Promised Land is occupied and governed by non-Muslims).
this can only hold true for Israel, or Iraq or Afghanistan, this wouldn’t be able to support terrorism in other countries i.e. Times square (even if you want to include America it’s only officers stationed in Iraq or Afghanistan)
I don’t think so,
If you’re really looking for someone, their in aisle 11 right next to the girls with the rich fathers that have excellent middos and that are rated for looks at 10
in essence if their there they are hard to come by
charlie you forgot OBAMA as someone that got the nobel peace prize 😉 but seriously that’s the reason why this thread should be closed b/c the nobel prize means nothing anymore (at least in regard to peace)
Here’s a funny bumper sticker it says on the top
YOU CAN’T SCARE ME
followed on the bottom with
I HAVE CHILDREN
They say that Sarah Steinberg married a nice lawyer from Budapest, and Esther married a businessman from Zhitomer, so it must be Sarah’s husband. Which means that his name is Alexander Cohen, if I’m not mistaken.
i know this question isn’t a joke (sorry)
why couldn’t it be the guy from zhitomer
(I think my knowledge of geography is my problem)
my kid is 14 months and it takes him about an hour to fall asleep (we start at 8), and he still doesn’t sleep through the night (when my wife told my rosh hayeshiva’s wife she said their 27 year old still doesn’t sleep through the night, and he also wakes up before 7
there are more moderate republicains take for example John McCain
charliehall,
yes healthcare is lower but everything is taxed even getting a haircut (services)
and look at their income tax (scroll down to the chart and look at $10,383-40,970
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_taxes_in_Canada
for anyone that likes math 15% of 10,383 is 1,557.45 i’m glad i dont pay that
imanonov,
BEAUTIFUL
why is everyone answering this creep! (myself included)
if there are no comments to this thread noone will take a second look at it,
try arguing with missionaries it will get you nowhere (I’m not saying don is but i wouldn’t be suprised)
if you ignore someone they go away
forget about posting here and everything will go back to normal
Google his screenname, if you’d like to find out more.
i did, nothing came up except ludwig van beethoven and don quixote in the same article,
maybe he’s both deaf and dillusional
ludwig,
i don’t understand, do you want to be taken care of, or to be helped to get a job,
i know what the gemara in Shabbos (63a) though
“it’s better to give a loan than to give tzedakah” and rashi says the reason is b/c the person won’t feel embarrased (b/c people don’t want handouts)
My rosh yeshiva actually had a vort for the shabbos on parshas lech-lecha where he said that sedom’s ideology was the ideal and that the messed up by taking it to an extreme but that everyone should work for their life and not get handouts and give yourself an existance, and when i asked him if this was a veiled allusion to republicains he agreed said republicains aren’t the people of sodom (to which i replied it’s the ideology that they’re touting not that they are in and of themselves)
getzel1,
congrats for being the 500th post, the lawyer jokes were great
I think it could be an oppurtinuty for some kiruv (a lot of non-frum kids go trick or treating) I heard a story of two kids that knocked on a door and one of them was dressed up as a bubby.
bp totty,
of course you still are, the question is why are you telling them about it if it’s b/c of yourself then you’re not but if u truly want to make them grow, why not?
a great way to answer that question is put yourself in her shoes, if you were her, (hep personality) would you want it to be pointed out to you
