@philosopher where did I contradict myself?
ParticipantParticipant@philosopher you seem to opine that the vaccines aren’t effective against the variants. does that mean u know the severity of those vaccinated yet newly infected?
basically there are 2 options. their situation is worrying and ergo your post. or they have mild symptoms and Israel is overreacting by like a million times. (there is precedent for these overreactions; see articles posted earlier on this thread). and in which case vaccines are doing their job.
I’d like to know which it is.
ParticipantParticipant@Phil where did I contradict myself?
ParticipantParticipantoh did I say something wrong?
ParticipantParticipantyes. I guess you don’t listen to the news, or maybe you live in a red state. schools will forever remain on zoom, Biden will print more paper so no one goes back to work ever, masks will be mandated in all federal sites always and woe to anyone who dares not obey. well, not to worry, cuz you won’t be in all that many federal buildings, anyway….due to covid and out of concern for your health, nothing will be operating at normal activity anymore.
so please please please please go get vaccinated and win 1000000 papers. do it for yourself. do it for your loved ones. do it for the world. do it for science. do it for unity. just do it. please. and remember to still wear your mask and shoot yourself between the eyes before entering a public building. together we will get through this forever. that is, forever we will get through this together.
ParticipantParticipantuh, what?
where’s the contradiction?ParticipantParticipant” need to monitor for outbreaks and react to them in real time (closing borders was considered impolite, not anymore)”
Ok, not sure how much there is to discuss on this.
“domestic (or democratic) production of medicine and other strategic goods (not just USA, EU is looking at that also)”
Medicine for what? Hypothetical new viruses?
“quick vaccine development (mRNA) and methods to do Phase 3s quickly (Trump’s achievement)”
ok, could be.
“accountability (not solved). Would we allow someone to claim a mistake for a minor nuclear explosion or would we invoke MAD doctrine? should the same apply to bio-weapons?”
This isn’t preparation for a pandemic.“decoupling of virus protection from politics (not solved)”
And won’t be, no matter how many committees are formed for it.“Maybe monitor labs so that these viruses don’t get unleashed into the world? Or maybe shut down labs that are creating harmful viruses for whatever reason?”
Also not preparation for a pandemic.ParticipantParticipant@coffee
that was one of his many points and it’s dumb on several counts, not least because I’m sure there are many who could prove it.ParticipantParticipantthanks. next question: of those vaccinated and infected , how many have serious symptoms?
I was asking based on the info we were told then. as I think I’ve mentioned, they did change a few stuff.
ParticipantParticipantwow wow wow kind of hard to defend myself from this litany of challenges to what I never said nor implied.
ParticipantParticipantit’s called inheritance, Phil. if someone owes money to someone and he dies, they pay it to the heirs.
ParticipantParticipanta couple of reports about high infection rates in Israel…does anyone know how many of the 154 cases were vaccinated?
ParticipantParticipant@Phil
you make good points. if they’re right, I’m with u. but the concept of reparations makes sense (if not in this application); not like what I’ve heard from others.btw even if blacks did sell other blacks, it’s not a reason to excuse slaveowners from paying the slaves. as to mixed races, etc. the only blacks who (would) deserve reparations are slaves’ descendents.
ParticipantParticipantI was referring to black reparations. Manhattan was bought, I think, and you seem to also, judging by the quotation marks.
ParticipantParticipantyeah you’re probably right. what’s the homeless situation there like?
ParticipantParticipantto be honest I think reparations make sense. that is, the amount of unpaid work blacks gave should be paid by those who owned them, or their estates.
what do Irish get reparations for?
ParticipantParticipant@avira
I don’t know any and never heard about any non-yekke who washes before kiddush.you say you don’t know any other posek who frowns upon non yekes doing this…that is, they’re ok with it? or they never heard about it/were never asked about it?
ParticipantParticipant@gh
you’re so amazingly creative, but don’t waste your talent on twisting a logical (albeit cliche to the point of stale), sequential conversation into a pretzel.ParticipantParticipantla, obviously.
ParticipantParticipantand chasidim say “paysach” …you’d think it was a tzeirei.
@aaq “chafetz” or “chofetz” you mean ashkenaz pronunciation versus sefardic?
ParticipantParticipant@lostspark what are you referring to?
ParticipantParticipantwow am I really to understand that although he wanted yekke’s to preserve their minhagim he still discouraged non-yekkes from adopting their kulos??!!
ParticipantParticipant@syag
that works.
you didn’t exactly phrase it that way the 1st time.ParticipantParticipantif acceptance difficulty is the barometer, then yes, troll yeshiva is definitely up there. I tried a few times and couldn’t make it.
then again, there were a bunch of others that I didn’t make it….
ParticipantParticipantquite right. aviraahdearah is entering (or starting) this current debate with many years of coffeeroom experience under his belt so don’t tell him to look anything up.
ParticipantParticipant@avirah
I’m curious which hechsher you use. I’ve been told there are no kashrus agencies that avoid lubavitcher shochtim.ParticipantParticipantI can’t help interjecting…
I only saw one “chutzpanyak” speak disparage about the rambam, and I doubt it’s who ur referring to.
I’m referring to the poster who implied that the rambam’s “rational approach” and “quest for truth” led him to unique conclusions in the gemara.aviradearah spoke rather disparagingly about someone, but not the rambam. and ur entire post makes it clear you didn’t read all his posts.
ParticipantParticipantso extra piyutim is ok, kiddush is not.
ParticipantParticipantindeed, seems like chazal messed up.
they should have learned mussar.ParticipantParticipantActually,
“you could make a small fortune in Eretz Yisroel
…if you come with a big one.”ParticipantParticipantwhat a clear and thorough explanation.
ParticipantParticipantduring the winter, then.
ParticipantParticipantI’m all for setting up kiddush after maariv. for then.
what I’m trying to say is why doesn’t anyone make a night kiddush.
June 9, 2021 3:36 pm at 3:36 pm in reply to: why “early to bed, early to rise” and not “late to bed, late to rise”? #1981511ParticipantParticipantthat happens to be true for me, but not for everyone.
June 6, 2021 3:44 am at 3:44 am in reply to: The future of the democracy of the U.S. government #1980429ParticipantParticipant“The biggest threat to democracy is Big Tech. As it stands now they are not subject to the First Amendment”
???
They’re not required to implement the rights of the First Amendment in their businesses? is that what u meant?ParticipantParticipantthe good kichel is the sugary type. the flat crackery type is tasteless.
but I guess eaten with herring it’s some people’s idea of fish ‘n chips.ParticipantParticipant@ujm
where’s the quote fromParticipantParticipanthmmm sounds like I was just mocked…do yekishe niggunim mean so much to you?
was I right?
ParticipantParticipantniche is pronounced the same you’ve pronounced it til now.
makher.ParticipantParticipantI’m not impressed with yekishe niggunim, but I like early American tunes (which is yekish as far as I’m concerned): hotzas vahachnasas Torah, halelu, yivoreich es beis yisrael etc.
but not ein keiloheinu.ParticipantParticipant@ujm
Joseph.ParticipantParticipantI don’t understand the need for it.
ParticipantParticipantit’s people like you who keep on not inventing things. i imagine that when Edison produced the lightbulb,you said “what’s wrong with a candle?”; when he planned the phonograph you’re like “uh…concerts?”. come on we’re in the twenty first century. think niche-macher.
ParticipantParticipantbest advice I ever got from a gerbil was to run the other way.
ParticipantParticipantplus none of you own antiques or any decorative agent for that matter. none of you have special platters for special occasions and none of you have a tall spindly thing whose name I don’t know and function I can’t guess.
ParticipantParticipantI didn’t mean the niche-macher won’t take up space, just that it’s flexible.
Next, let’s assume I’m a hoarder. What do you do with the countless items that even a non hoarder needs to keep? Various forms and receipts and warranties. specific thingamihibs and the light for the sukkah. nameless artifacts and obscure spongebobs and so on?ParticipantParticipantread my previous 2 posts
ParticipantParticipantwhat does it mean, it goes to spam? I mean, it’s a post on a site, not a foreign email.
ParticipantParticipantnot freedom of commerce so much as freedom. not forcing someones to do business with people they don’t want to.
ParticipantParticipantdear nomesorah,
the issue I was referring to was not so much freedom of speech as much as freedom of commerce, that is, commanding social media to be more inclusive.
