Is it organic in nature (living, once living, or derived from something living)?
Hellooooo, being size 6 is awesome cuz all the sample sizes are size 6 and they almost never sell. 😀
Yeah, Wolf is cool. I’m in. 🙂

You’re trying to mix two issues here: whether what this school is doing is wrong, or whether schools can ban Facebook b’chlal. The fact that this school not doing it properly doesn’t make banning Facebook unilaterally bad. I will not comment on the school and their politics.
zahavasdad: Hey, I’m a teenage girl…my opinion counts…
MP (and everyone else): I agree with you that the hypocrisy is not okay. But speaking in general – I don’t think schools should ban Facebook, but that they definitely can. I do think that a school has a right to expect a certain level of behavior from their students, even out of school. Saying that whatever happens out of your school is not your domain is not responsible chinuch. Although I do think the parents should be in charge of *enforcing* the rules out of school. (Of course, this presupposes that the school and the parents are on the same page…)
Punch, brothers, punch…
hee hee
cheftze: No, we eat chalav stam. Thought the reason was pretty obvious…
lol oyster is really funny.
I bought a box of Entenmann’s Devil Food Crumb doughnuts on Monday because I really needed one. Afterward, I realized that I would be in deep doo-doo if I brought it home, so I ate the whole box. (Well, not the whole thing – I shoved some of them down some friends’ throats too.)
It’s a small world after all…
It is absolutely, not the school’s business, as to what the girls do, out side of school hours.
Um…yes it is…if you ran a school, would you let your kids run amok because it’s “not your business”? A private school has every right to make rules at its own discretion. Deal with it.
I don’t get why you would protest a school banning Facebook. Sure, I don’t think you can ban it in real life. But schools have lots of rules – uniforms, no makeup, whatever, that would be completely ridiculous in real life but make lots of sense in a school setting. I don’t think it’s an objectionable rule at all.
*snort*
Add water until pasty to get toothpaste and an excellent stain remover.
lol I like mine a lot. Thanks. 🙂
lol…it’s a secret, but…I never managed to get through that one. The ones that kept me riveted were East of Eden, Of Mice and Men, In Dubious Battle. I really like him best for East of Eden.
My paper actually centered around a theory that is mostly grounded in Grapes of Wrath…sorta never mentioned the fact that I never finished the book…:P
The Pearl stinks majorly. All high schools fail Steinbeck by teaching it. Same goes for Silas Marner. For the life of me I can’t figure out why they do it…
Aw, poor Shnooky…can we think up a good subtitle for him too?
Goq: Yup. Incidentally, it really only barely touched upon Of Mice and Men. But he’s one of my favorite authors, soooooo…yeah. 🙂
*AHEM* *just wrote a term paper on Steinbeck*
It’s assur because Internet is assur.
Bah, no. I’m the non-canonical Tonks.
Oh lol. 🙂
“head line headphones” <– huhwhat?
yitayningwut: Oh really…poor Tonks must be rolling in her grave… 😛
Hey mod…that’s TONKS to you! 🙂
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Okay. Is it manmade?
bumpbumpbumpbump
bpt: Hm, makes sense. Do you eat it backward afterward? 😛
Will everyone stop talking in abbreviated Latin, hm?
Hey Zeeskite, want to start a new round of 20 questions? 😀 (Pleeeeeeease?)
Okay then. hihihihihi to you too. 🙂
I don’t know if anyone else wants to start a new one, though…
I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone wink and frown at the same time. Intriguing notion.
Zeeskite: How about this:
while (month.exists()) {
simcha++
if ("Av".equals(month))
simcha--;
}😀
Catty much?
hershi: Um. That doesn’t make a difference. The point is they just don’t. I am not trying to make any point about the photography.
They don’t sing. Which makes sense, because a person doesn’t have to be on the other side of the mechitza to hear it.
hershi: No, there isn’t.
Wicked all the way. 🙂
You trolls choose the strangest categories to put things in…
hershi: The word superstition has a pejorative connotation, but in actuality just means “the belief in supernatural causality.” It doesn’t mean the belief is necessarily unfounded. The emphasis is on the fact that you believe it without understanding it, which over the centuries devolved into a bad thing.
Yeah, I know. I agree with your point.
Being a troll is bad.
I know someone who eats pizza backwards (crust first). Don’t know why.
yitzchokm: Yeah, well your rebuttal still isn’t logical. His is, even if it is intrinsically flawed (which I don’t think is true.)
I know it was being ridiculed, and I don’t stand by that. However, I do stand by the point that Wolf was trying to make. I don’t think one way of life is intrinsically more kadosh because people can achieve kedusha through different ways. And to my mind, holding that such a lifestyle is the standard and that it is inherently better should go hand in hand. Because thinking it is inherently better but NOT a universally applicable standard is just stupidly bigoted. Yeah, you can’t exactly play both sides.
To everyone bashing Gerrer chassidim: If husband and wife both agree to and want this lifestyle, then why do you even care? It’s their own personal life and you don’t have any right to interfere.

Okay, dude.
Not everyone applies the idea that way. So it isn’t necessarily valid by everyone.
Is there really a point to arguing as to whose avodas Hashem is superior? Everyone does what they have to do for themselves. There is no universal rating scale. We are all striving towards the same goal – why do you care that my methods are different?
The point of that conversation (which I referenced out of context) was how the person realized I wasn’t a troll. So…busted. 😛
