How about compare how many car owners had a dangerous incident versus how many dog owners had a dangerous incident.

Pac-ManMemberShould all correct answers be removed after 5 minutes, to give the next posters a shot?

Pac-ManMembergefen: If you can voice disagreement with your school, why cant others voice disagreement with you and your disagreement?

and Rambam Hilchos Talmud Torah 6:14, and Hilchos Nizkei Mamon 5:9, Chazon Ish on Choshen Mishpat Likutim 18:9.

Pac-ManMemberI take it Mod 80 is using a dose of sarcasm.
Pac-ManMemberchaplain: I must assuredly do have much experiences with other types, including all those I referred to. And what I stated earlier is indeed correct, with regards to the propensity of otd on a comparative basis.
Pac-ManMemberHorav Yisroel Belsky Shlita (Taamei Haminhagim 606, see ibid:607 for an additional reason) says the reason is as a remembrance of the fire that surrounded Rav Shimon Bar Yochai while he was in the cave.

Pac-ManMemberDaas: When you edit your comment it needs to be re-approved by a mod to show up.
Pac-ManMemberY’know, I am still within the edit window… I could fix it, and ask you what are you talking about!
Pac-ManMemberYou should still be dan lkaf zchus. It was probably a reflective reaction.
Pac-ManMemberLMA: The bet’s on. They did it in der alte heim.
Pac-ManMemberLMA: Its done in Willi as well. I wasn’t in der alte heim, but as I said it isn’t a new minhug.
Pac-ManMemberso it is difficult for publishers to turn a profit.
The wholesale price (after the author’s percent) doesn’t cover the cost of the printing and distribution?
Pac-ManMemberIn Williamsburg? Where, on Lee Avenue perhaps?
It isn’t anything recent btw.
Pac-ManMemberLMA: Satmar Chasidim in America do make bonfires. Apparently you’ve never been to KJ, where they make a massive one. Check YouTube.
Pac-ManMemberchaplain: Do yourself a favor and not comment on what you clearly don’t know. The percentage of otd from Chareidi yeshivos is far below the percentage from MO (i.e. mingling) schools.
Pac-ManMemberDo you feel better now?
Pac-ManMemberCorrect, the morality comes to us from the Torah. Precisely my point.
Pac-ManMemberI have not read one comment on this thread, by anyone, asserting that a girl who wears jeans will burn in gehenim for it.
Pac-ManMemberwhich admittedly is more refined than ordinary dress, but is not even close to royalty.
Even if you don’t get to the goal, you should aim to reach as close as possible.
Don’t make the torah into your source that you call upon whenever you want to justify what you want to do.
That is precisely why you should accept that an eidel yid dresses eidel. Even if you can’t “cite” a Chapter and Verse in S”A that mandates being eidel.
Pac-ManMembercucumber most certainly did make a case. And a very good one at that. She demonstrated Yidden are royalty — and should act and dress the part.
Pac-ManMembercucumber is making a very logical case why a Yid should dress upper class, even if there is no strict halacha mandating that per se.
Pac-ManMemberAbsolutely. Moral and social issues are by far a priority. If someone supports the murder of babies or supports abomination, I don’t care if he has the best tax and economic policies of anyone. He is out.
Pac-ManMemberOther positions count too. But without a candidate being on the right side of those two, there is nothing else to consider.
Pac-ManMemberIs he pro-life and pro-(traditional) marriage?
Those are my prerequisites to consider a candidate.
Pac-ManMemberNo IS, his Rov shlugged him up and he didn’t even chap!
Pac-ManMemberi think “mister eighty” would be more appropo, since he isnt makpid on capitalization or periods
Pac-ManMemberLook, minyan gal already said “Fagedaboutit!” (above), and everyone knows that’s Brooklynese. She’s starting already!
Pac-ManMemberListen GMAB, we’re gonna get them used to our customs pretty quick.
Pac-ManMemberSorry minyan gal. I think we gonna annex Canada.
On the bright side, you can soon get an American Passport!
Pac-ManMemberAnd you missed the point. Read it contextually to how you attempted to “shlug up” your rov.
Pac-ManMemberThat depends how much one is willing to sacrifice to uphold yiddishkeit. Not too many decades ago some people were saying the same thing about changing jobs just like that, during the Depression, even if they had to work on Shabbos. This is obviously not on that level, but the idea is the same.
Pac-ManMemberI would take Nova Scotia as a State (as well as all the other Canadian provinces as States — with the possible exception of Quebeq), and leave Cuba on its own. I would also let Puerto Rico become an independent country.
Pac-ManMemberYou missed the point. Read the response contextually to eman’s attempt to “shlug up” his rov.
Pac-ManMemberBecause parents know best.
Pac-ManMemberMaybe going to the mikvah every morning can help preserve and keep the kedusha.
May 19, 2011 5:26 pm at 5:26 pm in reply to: Firestorm After �Der Zeitung� Deletes Hillary Clinton from Iconic Photo #1052795Pac-ManMemberWatched what adorable?
Pac-ManMemberAnd if you couldn’t sit in the bank office with a sefirah beard and yarmulka? You would have taken it off?? I certainly hope not. You would work elsewhere with your yarmulka and beard.
Pac-ManMemberCrash the wedding and take an upfront seat.
Pac-ManMemberdunno: Would it bother you if your husband regularly wore jeans? If so, why do you wear them?
Pac-ManMemberSaying a frei Jew invented them, does not debunk there being goyish. Frei Jews don’t practice or act Jewish in their lives.
Pac-ManMemberWho pays poskim for their time?
