looking into getting a 2008 sienna

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
Why is the neighborhood in Brooklyn that is properly referred to as Midwood, more commonly referred to as “Flatbush” by the Frum community?
i was talking to a goy and told him my wife was from that area and he said flatbush so goyim do it too
lol i thought you were going to ask “do you know the muffin man?”
blinky,
i hear you, but in reality the change Obama was talking about was the change that’s left in our pockets
wellinformed,
this doesn’t work so well when the moderator can’t post it as fast as people are sending it therefore we have numerous posts for the same letter and noone knows which word to choose
Do you hold as true, that the existence of One G-d who created the world and runs it, is proven by logic and irrefutable?
Do you think that is a necessary belief?
i’m sorry but my answer is no to both
emunah is that even though Hashem isn’t proven by logic 100% you still believe
if something is a fact then there is no need for belief, it’s just like saying do you believe that there is a computer screen in front of you (no it’s a fact that there is a computer screen in front of you)
therefore if its proven by logic and irrefutable then it can’t be a belief
and the Rambam lists it in the Ani Maamin’s to tell you that it’s a belief and not a fact (albeit 99.99% fact)
dietary……
…..younger
There are people that think Eiruvin bichlal are not so good cause when you go somewhere with out one you carry by mistake!
true that’s was why I used to not either (but then i got married and had a kid) but if there were no such places like flatbush then there wouldn’t be a problem
And why would you — in Florida with 11.7% — highlight NY’s low unemployment rate?
i’m not saying NY isn’t better than Florida this thread is about how NY is THE BEST which I’m sorry to say it isnt, if you look at my other posts i slam Florida too, and NY does have it’s maalos (I love it that I don’t have to worry about davening with a minyan, that I can chooses a restaurant to eat at, and that the subway can take me anywhere) but c’mon would you like to eat out on shabbos if you have little kids that can’t walk, once in a while (Personally i think an eruv also defines a community)(that’s how it is in all OOT places anyway) so in essence I’m saying it’s not THE BEST
Michigan 13.1%, California 12.4%, Florida 11.7%, Illinois 10.1%, New Jersey 9.6% Pennsylvania 9.2%, Connecticut 9.1%. (Hmm, not only is NY better than all these States, it seems the closer to New York they are, the lower the unemployment rate!)
look at maryland 7.3% minnesotta 7.0%
i don’t think youre 100% right
New York is the place of opportunity — for Jews and for non-Jews
with an 8.3% unemployment rate
mybat-
miami isn’t all that great either it’s hot and humid in the summer, there’s A LOT of pritzus here (much less in north miami beach) and the food is more expensive here
wait!
what about the Eruv (oh yeah brooklyn doesn’t have 1) (i know it does just no-one holds of it)
what about filtering tap water (Yaay! fun! can never drink from a public water fountain)
now on a secular level
How much do you pay in tolls?
How’s your traffic?
still think NY is the best?
I’m suprised noone commented that one should throw himself into a furnace instead of embarass some1 and we see that from tamar (so lying shouldn’t be any different)
In the year 2010, the Lord came unto Noah, who was now living in the United States, and said: Once again the earth has become wicked and over-populated, and I see the end of all flesh before me.
Build another Ark and save 2 of every living thing long with a few good humans.
He gave Noah the blueprints, saying: You have 6 months to build the Ark before I will start
the unending rain for 40 days and 40 nights.
Six months later, the Lord looked down and saw Noah weeping in his yard – but no Ark.
Noah! He roared, I’m about to start the rain! Where is the Ark ?
Forgive me, Lord, begged Noah, but things have changed.
I needed a building permit.
I’ve been arguing with the inspector about the need for a sprinkler system.
My neighbors claim that I’ve violated the neighborhood zoning laws by building the Ark in my yard and exceeding the height limitations. We had to go to the Development Appeal Board for a decision.
Then the Department of Transportation demanded a bond be posted for the future costs of moving power lines and other overhead obstructions, to clear the passage for the Ark ‘s move to the sea.
I told them that the sea would be coming to us, but they would hear nothing of it.
Getting the wood was another problem. There’s a ban on cutting local trees in order to save the spotted owl.
I tried to convince the environmentalists that I needed the wood to save the owls – but no go!
When I started gathering the animals, an animal rights group sued me.
They insisted that I was confining wild animals against their will.
They argued the accommodations were too restrictive, and it was cruel and inhumane to put so many animals in a confined space.
Then the EPA ruled that I couldn’t build the Ark until they’d conducted an environmental impact study on your proposed flood.
I’m still trying to resolve a complaint with the Human Rights Commission on how many minorities I’m supposed to hire for my building crew.
Immigration is checking the status of most of the people who want to work.
The trade unions say I can’t use my sons. They insist I have to hire only Union workers with Ark-building experience.
To make matters worse, they seized all my assets, claiming I’m trying to leave the country illegally with endangered species.
So, forgive me, Lord, but it would take at least 10 years for me to finish this ark.
Suddenly the skies cleared, the sun began to shine, and a rainbow stretched across the sky.
Noah looked up in wonder and asked, ‘You mean you’re not going to destroy the world?’
‘No,’ said the Lord.
‘The government beat me to it.’
i dont get it, is this a true case or a joke
taken from wikianswers website (I’m actually trying to use my BTL to get into a masters program)
Without going into the actually history of the two accrediting agencies, there are a few issues that should concern individuals when choosing between regionally and nationally accredited colleges and universities.
For one, the regional accreditation standards are higher than that of the national accreditation agency. Thus, the regional accreditation is preferred by colleges and universities who wish to be recognized as institutions that possess excellence within higher education.
Second is the issue of transferability of credits. Nationally accredited institutions typically accept credits from regionally accredited colleges and universities, where regionally accredited colleges and universities will not accept credits from nationally accredited institution. This means if you have a coursework and/or a degree from a nationally accredited institution, it would be like starting all over again should you decide to transfer to a regionally accredited school (which most all recognized colleges and universities are). This should also be a great concern should you plan on pursuing advance degrees (master’s, doctorate) at a later date. The degree from a nationally accredited school would not be recognized.
Third, employers who are aware of the difference in regional and national accreditations may not recognize your education that was completed at a nationally accredited institution
heres the website
i heard if something is done l’toeles (sorry don’t remember where) then it’s not bittul torah and a person needs time to relax (in other words post on the cr)
imanonov and shticky guy good ones, i just hope i won’t forget not to tell my wife 😉
BTL stands for BaTul (just kidding)
personally i got a BTL and i as i see more and more it doesn’t mean as much (a main problem is that yeshivos are accredited under AARTS which is a national acceptance (as opposed to regional which colleges accept)) therefore you have to apply for an exception which, i advise, go to a college that you know will accept it (exception or not)
remind me that next year sister bear
