They did tell us not to stick our fingers into the walls in certain places (in the Kotel tunnels), saying that anything beyond the outer surface of the wall is part of Har Habayis…I found that kind of interesting.
Nu. She meant if you “can” (on paper), but really can’t, due to your ex’s capriciousness.
Blocking flash would block all flash content (not only ads).
kfb, I don’t think you are referring to “classic yeshivas” here…
admitnothing: Do you think many yeshivos do that type of thing?
They probably won’t/can’t change the ads. Just use Adblock Plus.
The yeshiva had absolutely nothing to do with the case in question. That comment was just random shtuss, and should be treated as such.
How does this have anything to do with the yeshiva? Her ex is the one who’s wronging her. If he won’t pay amicably out of court and can’t be forced into a proper settlement, he should at least leave her some way to get government aid.
She needs to get a court settlement. Those can usually be enforced.
(Local Yerushalayim) Egged or Superbus?
Use Adblock Plus. It gets rid of ALL of them.
popa: A friend of mine posted that on an email group to a whoooooole bunch of girls. We all found it funny. (Hope you don’t mind) 😀
The “worst nightmares” and “horror story” are probably just humorous exaggeration on cinderella’s part…she clearly didn’t perceive it quite as such.
I heard an opinion that the entire case was theoretical – it was acted out by “ruchos” to demonstrate the depth of Shlomo Hamelech’s wisdom. Does anyone have a source?
The square of any real number is positive. You were referring to i, no?
Lol…reminds me of this one:

How about favorite Jelly Belly flavors? Mine’s baby wipes.
Irrational numbers are no good either.
10952, I haven’t seen you address these legalities yet:
1) How does the fact that an issue hasn’t been addressed properly (Al Sharpton, the issue at hand) indicate it is ipso facto legal?
2) The fact that their protest caused an objectionable action is a good indication that it is incitement to riot. How does your proof address this point?
3) How does what they did not qualify as harassment?
You can check your profile for threads you started:

I usually only get carsick when I read, so I avoid it if I can. But yeah, it does.
The fact that it is not being dealt with is not a logical proof that it is legal. Prove that it is not defamation, harassment, and incitement to riot, and you will prove it legal. Also, bear in mind that I am looking at this through the U.S. legal perspective (as I thought you were), so what is actually being done or not done has no bearing.
I would like you to reread my posts and cite the exact statement that led you to believe that I have a “mistaken notion that one can be arrested for defamation or libel.” And explain how the fact that it is only a civil wrong makes it “protected speech”. I am very confused as to why you keep trying to assert this.
I do too. 🙁 Try Dramamine.
No, that’s not what democracy is all about. It’s also not true. There are democratic states other than the U.S. that don’t share our lenient views on free speech. And dictatorship is not defined as a state without free speech.
What you say about suing as a civil case is true, but irrelevant. My point is since such an instance of free speech is prosecutable, it cannot be protected. The particulars of the forum and mode of redress do not change this.
Also, it is not always treated as a tort. Many countries prosecute defamation as a criminal offense. Several states in the U.S. also have provisions making it a criminal offense.
That’s pashut not true. It depends on the manner and nature the protest. This one probably qualifies as defamation. There’s also no freedom of speech when there may be incitement to riot. Their protests are building up a enough of a frenzy to qualify for that as well (if the spitting is any indication).
Parenthetically, not every democratic country has “free speech” the way we know it. Many countries (not America) have passed legislation explicitly banning anti-Semitism.
10952: You are incorrect. Freedom of speech does not extend to defamation and slander.
It’s a famous quote from Hitler. Basically, it’s him justifying genocide for “living space.”
Sorry, this comes from deep down baseless hatred!
lololololol
Sorry, I had to.
Here, I bumped it for you.
R.T., you win. 🙂
(Though I wouldn’t want to be taking that test. :P)
You know, you CAN just continue the old thread…
“Live and learn. Almost die, and learn even faster.” Just heard this one today. 🙂

always runs with scissors fast: Lol, I had the same question. Turns out I was putting the emphasis on the wrong syllable. Also, try saying it r-e-a-l-l-y s-l-o-w-l-y. 🙂
Officially, they call themselves that. But I wouldn’t equate them to a secular college. Michlala is much bigger than the average seminary, has people of all different backgrounds, and uses more of a inquiry-based (versus hashkafik) method. They are not catering to a “type” per se – their focus is on the learning. This produces a different sort of learning environment. The classes are also a lot less regimented. Outside of that, it’s not much like an actual secular college.
Disclaimer: I didn’t go there, so I don’t have firsthand knowledge. These are just the impressions I got from friends who went there/teachers who taught there. Feel free to add, disagree, etc.
Do you have any specific questions?
always runs with scissors fast: They probably don’t perceive it as such. To them, it’s just another superficial gesture of politeness, no? 😛
Oomis: The acquisition of good will is a meaningful gain – the same way that good will produced under false pretenses is geneivas da’as.
I agree with lesschumras. Maybe there is a logical reason for allowing it, but that one’s not it.
Lol, Zeeskite…:D
You might be interested in Machon Raaya. The course load is very rigorous. Michlala would also be a good choice. Here’s some info in MR:

Hey – I like what you did with Jabberwocky! That’s a really good idea! Sounds like you did a really good job. 🙂
Sweeping racial generalizations like that almost justify anti-semitism. Why shouldn’t they too make unwarranted assertions based on our radical minority?
