It’s a giant mushroom!! Maybe it’s friendly!

WIY: What I meant was that if you google the name of any significant figure, you will find such speculation. I did not mean that if you google “Is half the world gay,” Google will pop up and say “yes.” An exaggeration on my part, I’ll admit, but I thought it was understandable.
And stam, why do you think Democrats in specific are liars? To promote any political view successfully you have to be a liar. You’re kidding yourself if you think that whatever guys you’re rooting for are somehow immune to that.
Russain novels ftw! Gogol is the best. ^_^
Protesting against Obama isn’t wrong as much as it is a complete waste of time and energy. Protesting against someone who is actively trying to kill you generally isn’t.

WIY: Seriously? Google says that half the world is gay. Why are they suddenly so reliable on this issue?
Looks like I was right, eh? ^_^
My name’s Toph because it sounds like tough.

This book was written using 100% recycled words.
Mrs. Ullman was actually a teacher at my seminary (Machon Raaya) and told us a lot about Binas, which she started the year after she taught us. candy613 pretty much got it down pat. I don’t know how much I would liken it to BJJ, though – Mrs. Ullman described it as a lot like Machon Raaya, with an added hashkafic dynamic. Small and more “in-the-box”/in-town than MR (but a lot less so than BJJ). The assignment candy613 described is actually modeled on Machon Raaya’s coursework, according to Mrs. Ullman.
As to their criteria for acceptance, I don’t think you have to fit the big-institution profile (father learning, blah blah blah) – like MR, she’s looking for a niche group that fits her hashkafic and itellectual ideas. So I’m guessing she’s at least a little selective, but not like BJJ and the like are (For instance: I got accepted into Machon Raaya very easily because my personality and work ethic fit their image for their student body, not because my father learns/works/wears white shirts/wears colored shirts/is well-off/etc).
I’m confused – who are you arguing with?
We will never ever have gas or power ever again oh noes.
I think you should look into Darchei Binah and Michalah. Also maybe Tomer Devorah.
And instead of opening a fifteenth thread on this topic, why don’t you try searching the CR for old threads that discuss these seminaries? That will probably yield better results. Also, unlike most seminaries, these three have websites and other resources on the Net that you can look at.
The sun was shining on the sea,
Shining with all his might:
He did his very best to make
The billows smooth and bright —
And this was odd, because it was
The middle of the night.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
WIY: According to my definition of hearing, it would be kefira to say Hashem is subject to such a phenomenon. Hashem’s powers of observation and knowledge (if we can even use such words do describe them) are not derived from physical processes.
Hashem does not hear.
Always be wary of any helpful item that weighs less than its operating manual.
Hashem hears.
Now THAT might be kefira.
Nechomah: You are right, and I think the mods let most of the J screennames alone for that very reason. But “bubka” is one that has already been busted:

Whoa, Nelly…
What else do you see (with your feet, of course)? ^_^
+1 to the dwarf bread. ^_^
Uh, I think your feet need their eyes checked.
Don’t congratulate yourself – it’s vain.
What about THIS one, eh?
I’m a doctor, not a _______!
Whoaaa, Category Four…
lol I so saw that one coming. ^_^
<UN-POST> (this post has been rendered invisible via perception filter, so it does not break the rules):
As long as the casual observer can’t tell that two posts have some relation to each other (why, anyone can find that, if they read into it hard enough) then how can there be any problem? ^_^

Probably no other item in the entire chronicle of travel accessories had quite such a history of mystery and grievous bodily harm. It had been described as half suitcase, half homicidal maniac.
(That’s for Showjoe. :P)
*aHEM* Would you like to be gutted by my Morgul blade?
Then you’d better pray that you never meet me in real life, then…
Interestingly enough, I think I am less confrontational here than in real life…
