Unlocked remotely by a centralized committee? Why can’t you just unlock it yourself?
I thought only old people post on the coffee room
I have the option of joining them again in a year when my credit is better. I don’t know if it’s worth the stress and trauma.
You mean you’re considering it?
Oy. This is upsetting on so many levels.Why is it a psik reisha at all?
“For example, the leading cause of pediatric trauma deaths has shifted from car accidents to firearm-related incidents.”
This is a misleading statistic commonly referenced in order to push gun control. While the statistic is true if you include all children ages 1-19, it is not nearly true for each individual age. A disproportionate number of those gun deaths occur among older teenagers, and that is due largely to gang violence.
“No one needs an AR-15”
Even if this were true, since when is this a reason to make something illegal?
“Liberals and Democrats are not against responsible people owning guns. We actually believe in the constitution.”
Tell that to the guy who posted above you
Conspiracies are inherently unlikely to be true. The more people involved and the more time that passes, the more unlikely they are to be true.
Once you figure this into the equation, everything falls apart.
So basically the Rebbe said that there is a positive thing that happens to have the same name as feminism.
Which Rebbe?
Sam Klein, I forgot that the Columbia was supposed to land on Saturn. Thanks for that reminder.
Lostspark,
Maybe when they got there they found that it wasn’t as much fun as they had expected.
Supposed to? You are obligated to.
I heard in the name of a certain adam gadol, “Sefirah is a minhag, and this is the minhag”
I think COVID was largely to blame. Everyone got all up tight and serious.
Simplest. You keep using that word
All this preaching is making me sick.
I can’t imagine I’m the only one here who feels that way.
Oh
n0mesorah,
That’s why I never try to do any chessed. I don’t want to let anyone down in the event that I’m unsuccessful
I like chummus.
Recipe:
1 container of chummus
1 small serving dish that your wife likesVariations:
If you’re single you can skip the dish“it’s a lost cause and we should just accept gang wars, school shootings, and armed muggings as a fact that will never go away.”
That’s not quite what I said. I said the “banning guns” solution is a bad solution. Sometimes a bad solution is worse than no solution at all.
I think school shootings can be largely prevented by having armed civilians in schools.
I don’t know the solution to gang wars, but I can’t imagine taking away their guns will suddenly make them all friends.
Yserbius,
“I don’t think it’s impossible, just very difficult and it would take a long time”
It would require so much legislation that would be met with so much resistance. While all that legislation is being worked out, the manufacture and sale of firearms would go through the roof, just exacerbating the problem. Then let’s say they actually do manage to put bans in place, imagine the logistical nightmare of getting people to give up hundreds of millions of guns. Imagine how many people won’t go down without a fight. The country will tear itself apart.
Of course all this is assuming you can repeal the second amendment, because otherwise none of this even gets off the ground.
It’s virtually impossible, and it would take forever. Keep fighting for it if it makes you feel better, but it’s a bad idea and it will never happen.
Nu nu, that’s why I gave my other answer. It would be impossible. The number of guns in circulation is so high, and is constantly increasing. Banning guns only potentially removes them from the hands of law-abiding citizens, it doesn’t make them disappear. It’s a losing battle.
“we have seen time and time again, that armed civilians do little to stop mass shootings”
Have we? How many mass shootings failed to be stopped by armed citizens?
“So why don’t we start by banning anything that isn’t small?”
Because it’s impossible, and also it would violate the second amendment
Problems like this are silly. They’re not math problems, they’re “follow the rules” problems. The rules are arbitrary. Tell me the rules and I’ll give you the answer.
Yserbius, you may be right, but the reality is that you will never change the culture of the entire country. A huge portion of the country is pro-gun, and the number of guns in circulation is staggering (and talking about gun-control only causes that number to increase).
A simple, practical solution is to get rid of gun-free zones. Most mass shootings would be stopped within seconds (if not prevented altogether) if law-abiding citizens were carrying guns.
I’m not talking about gang violence. That’s a different issue altogether
BAN ALL GUN[-free zone]S!
That’s the only way. Any who thinks banning all guns is a solution isn’t really interested in solving the problem, they just want to make themselves feel good by being on the “right side” of the argument.
Rav Moshe paskens (in multiple teshuvos) in the Igros Moshe that making a Bas Mitzvah party is kefira derived from the Reform/Conservative movements
Sources please
YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF!!!!
(Did it work?)
Do you mean who would win in a boxing match? Cuz it wouldn’t be a fair match. R’ Shaul Alter has a clear advantage.
Go to B&H
I think it’s terrible.
Assuming it’s a reasonable distance, people should walk, ride bikes, or ride regular scooters where they need to go.
Nothing to do with yeshivas or kids.
Since when is it our responsibility as Jews to solve world problems?
Your kids have a chiyuv to listen to Ben Shapiro.
I hear
So CDC now says that people who are vaccinated can be in a room together with other vaccinated people with NO masks and NO social distancing.
Although they don’t give a hard limit, the CDC’s guidelines strongly imply that this only applies to small private gatherings. It’s clear that the intent was not for large indoor gatherings.
Not saying I agree with the guidelines, just trying to be fair.
How many kiddushin aren’t kosher?
I would guess zero.
The Rambam says that if you are able to prevent a rodef from killing by some means other than killing him, then you are not allowed to kill the rodef. It is clear from this that the mitzvah to kill a rodef is only in order to save someone’s life. It has nothing to do with justice.
