    No, I was not in Boston. I may have driven through, but I definitely did not stop in Boston.

    And looking at it in the light, I now saw that the hubcap was ruined. So I tried to pry it off to see if the hub was ruined. But I don’t have a tire iron. Isn’t that dumb? I have a spare tire, and a jack, but not the iron.

    So I tried to pry it off with the thing that you turn the jack with, but I can’t get the middle part off. Oh well.

    Who the heck cares what your Kippah looks like?

    MO people who only wear a kippa sruga apparently care.

    Make paper airplanes, throw spitballs, pass notes, text message.

    If the teacher isn’t trying enough to make it interesting, why should you try?

    If you want to do it, do it.

    You will need to have the prerequisites for medical school.

    Then you will probably spend this year studying for the MCAT, and take it in spring.

    You would then apply to begin in fall of 2013.

    Medical school is 4 years.

    Then you will do an internship for a year.

    Then you will a residency which is between 3 and 7 years.

    So you are talking 10-14 years from now.

    Girls are such babies. Welcome to the real world- men care about looks. And it the guys, not their mothers.

    And that is just the way it is.

    You are all way too much into emotional connections anyway. So what if I don’t care to listen to you kvetch? I’m tall and I make money.

    There is no way that was a mistake.

    Being that they are accused of this all the time, and that this video went viral, they would have certainly put out a retraction.

    If Obama once by accident referred to kenya as his birthplace, you better believe the white house spokesman would tell us it was a mistake.

    I’d sooner believe he has a wife than a Romanian sausage.

    No joke. I once left a romanian sausage hanging over a rosh hashana when I went away, and my roomates at the time decided it was moldy and threw it out. (or so they say)

    So I am never sure I still have romanian sausage when I come home.

    Especially once I threatened to withhold it from my wife.

    That’s a pretty loaded question.

    I think as long as it is only a bad influence, I would keep going. The main influence kids get is from their parents- I’m not very concerned about outside influences. (Yes, that is the truth. If outside influences were such an issue, you would see higher rates of kids going off the derech in 5 towns than in williamsburg. Nobody has ever made such a claim.)

    However, I am more concerned about him scaring your kids. Your kids do not need to be subjected to abuse, neither to maintain your friendship, nor to encourage the other family who was kind enough to take their brother in.

    If this exists, I think it is a good thing.

    Imagine if people were looking for a trophy spouse, which they defined as perfect middos and perfect yiras shamayim. Then it would be much harder to get married.

    At least you can fix looks with plastic surgery.

    And thus the sausage is made.

    maybe they were married with a wife or kid who had an appointment…

    Funny Bar Shattya should mention it, since my brother’s daughter actually did have a doctor’s appointment to get to.

    But my SIL was taking her.

    No one bashes Gedolim. People bash the idea that there is a concept of “Gedolim” as interpreted by the current “Yeshivish”/”Chariedi”/”Ultra-Orthodox” world.

    I don’t know what you mean by that. When I say that, I mean that my rav knows his place, and knows that he shouldn’t be arguing with the people that all the other rabbonim are asking shailos to. It is just about knowing your place.

    There has never been an idea in Judaism that each person who happened to get smicha in basar bchalav is on equal terms.

    Sam:

    Why don’t you tell us where you are going with this?

    Why do you think the term “mitzva” has some hallowed attribute that it can only be used for d’oraisoh’s or certain d’rabbanan’s, or whatever you are trying to limit it to?

    What are you trying to say?

    in reply to: Becoming Chareidi or MO? #818914

    This is all based on the premise that neo-yeshivishism is in any way the “original” version of Orthodoxy. Every single charedi Jew over the age of fifty knows this premise to be a bad joke.

    Yes, yes, whatever. The original judaism is to follow the halacha, and listen to your rav, and hire a rav who will listen to the bigger ravs who all the other ravs are listening to.

    Call it whatever you want. That’s the judaism that I affiliate with. If you also do, that’s great.

    As it also happens, we have done this discussion a million times. And this seems like a troll thread to me.

    A Mitzvah? What Mitzvah would that be? (Assuming you would spend the time learning something else.)

    Sam: I have no idea what you are getting at. Doing shnayim mikra is a chiyuv, as stated in OC 285:1. I think we can classify fulfilling one’s chiyuvim as a “mitzva”.

    popa, first of all thanks for the “neutral” title.

    Yes, I refrained from calling it “the worst mitzva”.

    Yes.

    Popa- even asking what size she wears is not necessarily a good question. A girl can be skinny, and pretty, but if she is tall (which often means she may be broader) she might have a bigger dress size. Besides for the fact that I think it is a disgusting question to ask anyway…. And no one really knows the answer besides the girl herself….

    I agree. I’m just explaining why people try to ask objective questions.

    Like, does he go to shachris, instead of is he responsible.

    If you SEE the person and don’t find him/her attractive that is one thing, but not even dating the person based on SOMEONE ELSE’s opinion is just plain stupid….

    This is very true. That is why it would make sense to give a picture, if that wasn’t so gross.

    This is why people tend to ask objective questions, like “what size dress does she wear.”

    I gently press the send button to the shaddchan “DOA”.

    Oh, I used to have a policy with shadchanim, that if I didn’t call by 9 the next morning, it was default “no.”

    Once got me in trouble, where I really wanted to go out, but I overslept. I took it as a siman, and let it go.

    I am taking a break from trying to make shidduchim. So tired of being asked by the mother of the boy “Is the girl skinny”? Their very first question and their main priority. The girls don’t ask if the boy is skinny!

    Me too. I’m tired of the first question the girls ask is “is he learning?”

    What about;

    “Is he an oved Hashem?”

    “Is he doing his tachlis?”

    Even, “Is he a talmid chochom?” (As we know, most girls would say yes to 22 year old planning to learn for 3 years and no to a 25 year old who already learned those 3 years and is going to work now).

    Asking if she is pretty is far more innocuous.

    There is virtually nowhere in America where one “can’t” wear a yarmulka. Those that don’t do so by choice not force.

    You are ignorant. And you parlay that ignorance to criticize other people which makes you feel superior.

    (Although, I find your ignorance makes me feel superior, so the only difference between us is I am knowledgeable, but I don’t have better middos.)

    This discussion makes no sense.

    It seems to me, that one side is discussing whether the deal was wise move. In that discussion, the gemara of “ein podin…” would be relevant, and blind bitachon would not.

    The other side is discussing how we should feel now. Blind bitachon is appropriate. /thread.

    Also, I don’t want to talk about this. It is too personal. I can’t sit and say they should have let this poor kid rot, and I can’t say we should let these terrorists out.
