Comb-overs don’t make men look younger.
Like I said, it would cause other problems, but it would likely solve the original problem. I believe a bully who is counter-bullied is less likely to be driven to suicide than one who is bullied without any recourse. I agree that nekama is a horrible thing to teach children. All I’m saying is that this would solve the original problem.
“Meno- so your saying that by sometimes wearing shorter skirts im sending people to gehinom? i dont think so…”
Inadvertently, but that’s still not great
Sparkly,
I’m not so sure. Bullying leads to suicide. I’m not sure what’s worse than that. I agree my idea would lead to other problems, and it would certainly need some tweaking to find a good balance, but I don’t think it would make things worse.
Maybe we should teach the bullied kids to bully the bullies. Level the playing field.
(I’ll admit, at first when I wrote that I was joking, but it would actually help build up their confidence and mitigate the effects of being bullied. Though it would probably cause other problems.)
Mashiach Agent,
You’re saying someone shouldn’t be depressed because it’s against the Torah?
I hope you don’t tell your clients that. That’s such a horrible thing to say, and a horrible way to treat depression.
Sparkly,
So they’re sending people to gehinnom inadvertently. That’s not so great either.
You’re doing a great job Mod29.
Being a Mod is like being the Gabbai. No matter what you do, everyone thinks it should be done differently, until you ask them to do it.
Just read this whole thread. I’m happy I didn’t read it on Tish’a B’av, because it ended up being very entertaining.
^^ Ummm, what?
I think you dialed the wrong number
Sparkly,
I totally agree.
Though I would say that “old enough” is different for each kid. Some kids are old enough at 16, while others aren’t old enough until 18 or later.
Sparkly,
I’d rather not give too much info about myself.
Yes, mostly physics and math and some biology and chem classes.
It seems there is some confusion here. Maybe this will help clear things up:
??kred?d?d/
adjective
(of a person, organization, or course of study) officially recognized or authorized.
I’ve taken over 20 science classes and I agree with Sam2
Joseph,
No
I define a frum person as: One who is genuinely interested in keeping Torah and Mitzvos and makes a significant legitimate effort to do so to the best of his or her ability.
I would never say that a certain person is not frum because he or she does not follow a particular Mitzvah properly
Most of engineering you learn on the job also. They even tell you that in school.

Why do you have to categorize them?
(and btw I’m sorry I was rude before, I got a bit carried away)
Popa,
I think you may be on to something
What’s this kugel story I keep hearing about?
It’s not tznius for anyone to talk loudly in the street – men or women.
Depends how rich your parents’ friends are.
I know it sounds blunt, but it’s the truth.
Sparkly,
My point wasn’t that you shouldn’t marry someone who’s not shomer negiah.
My point was that if you’re more makpid (particular) about your husband’s education level, field of study, and GPA than you are about his sh’miras Torah u’Mitzvos (i.e. you’re willing to compromise with regard to his sh’miras Torah u’Mitzvos but not with regard to his education, etc.), then I think you have your priorities backwards.
P.s. I responded to you rudely because you responded to me rudely
What’s wrong with “spending time this way”?
Who makes the subtitles?
Sparkly,
So you will only marry someone with a 4.0 in Harvard Medical School? But it’s OK if he’s not Shomer Negiah?
I think your priorities are seriously messed up.
Good luck in life.
There are plenty of smokers who are more religious than most TV watchers. I think part of the reason people feel that smoking is worse than watching TV is that even in the secular world there is a stigma against smokers, but not against people watch TV
Sparkly,
What does being a doctor have to do with being smart? I know some guys who are in medical school, and they aren’t even that smart – especially when it comes to math.
Also, by deciding you will only marry a doctor, you are severely limiting your options. You’re just making things very difficult for yourself.
And cover their ears too
If the relationship between an employee and an employer is generally considered ??? ?? ??, I think I’m working for the wrong person
I realize the term “OTD” is a fuzzy one, and there is no clear definition, but it certainly doesn’t make sense to categorize someone as such just because he or she has difficulty keeping one mitzvah, or even a number of mitzvos.
Let’s get a petition going
What’s the famous kartoffel kugel maaseh? I’m curious to hear it.
“I don’t think there is any doubt that an employer is ??? ?? ??.”
Really?
Who do you work for?
Way too much speculation going on in this thread. I think we need the OP to chime in and give us an update
So bottom line, is smoking assur?
Cool.
It’s so nice of them to write that article
“This CR is becoming like a Soap opera!”
It really is. I can’t wait to hear what happens next
Health:
So it is an addiction?
They don’t allow kohanim in the liberty science center?
What about gambling? I’m pretty sure it’s accepted among medical professionals that gambling addiction is a thing.
This whole thread is stupid. If you don’t want to marry someone who smokes, then don’t, but that doesn’t mean they’re off the derech. One thing has nothing to do with the other.
I’m so happy someone finally brought this up. I feel like there’s so much to say about this issue, yet nobody in the Coffee Room ever talks about it…
Ebay is more risky and the return policy can’t compare with amazon (especially amazon prime).
MA,
What does marriageable age have anything to do with it?
