popa_bar_abbaParticipant
I once lived in Canada. For three years. In Ottowa.
(I should note that neither Minyan Gal nor Mikehall brought bread and salt that time.)
popa_bar_abbaParticipantNo, not in canada. Although, I think I’d like to be neighbors with Minyan Gal.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantgirls are human too!!
Human? Yes. Jewish?

popa_bar_abbaParticipantNo. No more party and marriage advice until YOU answer some questions for us.
When is the wedding. Are you interested in a CR crash en masse.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantHave you really never heard of taking bread and salt?
Guilty as charged.
But come to think of it, I don’t think we have any salt, and we could probably use it.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantHmmm. Bread, salt, and cake.
I’ve never heard of that before.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI took my car with me. Some of the people are open minded, and some are closed minded.
I sometimes have a different opinion of who is open minded. Sometimes, people who agree with me are closed minded, and just happen to agree. Sometimes, people who disagree are open minded, and just happen to disagree. Sometimes, I am closed minded.

popa_bar_abbaParticipantMaybe tomorrow. I need to go to sleep. It is so late here.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantNot chicago.
8 states touch the great lakes.
MN, WI, IL, IN, MI, OH, PA, NY.
So not telling
popa_bar_abbaParticipantNot israel.
I didn’t address middlepaths guess, because it covers too large an area, and after 5 guesses I’d have to decide if I feel like telling you.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantOomis:
I don’t know.
If I approach a random girl in shul and say her dress looks great, I am definitely hitting on her. And I definitely think that is inappropriate.
And I could see why someone would think it is inappropriate on an early date.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantNot new jersey
popa_bar_abbaParticipantNot NY.
I ignored your question.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantmay we ask to where you moved?
Guess
popa_bar_abbaParticipantState. And city.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantIt only works thay way by morons (sic).
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI just want to the be first one to sanctimoniously say that some people would give everything they have to have any children.
Now that we got that out of the way, I think you’re kids are normal. Maybe they have a wild “lively” nature, but kids are kids.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI am hungry.
We are having onion soup with cheese, and pumpkin bread.

What you respect about… #1165106popa_bar_abbaParticipantMy stepson is currently in Basic Military Training with the US Air Force and I respect and appreciate his decision to join. Hatzlacha Rabah to him as he goes off into the wild blue yonder.
Cool.
Speaking of US army, I have heard of people who go into the army as chaplains. My cousin made Deputy Chief of Chaplains, with the rank of General.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI think, every story I’ve heard so far was a woman. And it makes sense, since they tend to be more absent minded.
Or maybe they tend to have the kids
popa_bar_abbaParticipantThis idea got me thinking that you really need a pressure sensor alarm built into every car seat, so that if you leave without the baby, it sounds an alarm.
Then I thought I better patent it quick before I post it. Then I thought I should google to see if it exists.
It does. NASA made one.
Do your own blazed google search, I don’t want my link to get mod-ed.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantThanks!
whatever picayune means.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI hear you. And I’m planning to get a bike myself pretty soon. But still, I am in favor of outlawing it.
August 9, 2011 6:15 pm at 6:15 pm in reply to: Levi Aron Wasn't Religious – Ate Non-Kosher (McDonalds) #796075popa_bar_abbaParticipantanon1m0us: You would be in prison for a long time in that case (killing)
Yes, you should try to make sure and kill them quickly while you are still really worked up, and then try to get it downgraded to manslaughter.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantGummy: While I do sympathize with cyclists for having to deal with some crazy drivers, I happen to think that having cars and bicycles on the street is unsafe to both parties, and that one should be illegal. Since cars are more necessary than bikes, I say outlaw the bikes.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantnonsense
This.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantSo I think it needs to be hefker property.
So this guy near me had one on his porch, so he made it hefker.
So I went and was koneh the land. Then I filed a claim to quiet title and he couldn’t dispute it, since he knew he had made it hefker. Now, his mortgage company is suing him, and also suing me. We’ll see what happens.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantU dont ditch a girl in middle of a date because it is rude and disrespectful, but there should be no reason to agree to date #2 before date #1.
I think he meant that you also don’t ditch a girl for the second date who flew in from out of town because it is rude and disrespectful inasmuch as she already invested significant time and money in you.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantlying? heh?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantBro:
Don’t sweat it. I don’t mind at all if you use that screenname. I was just curious if you really were my brother, and I have a bunch, and didn’t know if they would tell me. So I asked a mod what city it was coming from.
Then, I wondered who from that city would do it.
But please, post from there. I don’t mind.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantAcc to the mod I spoke to, your IP is in a city where I have no bros. If you do know who I am, I’m guessing your last name starts with O, and your street starts with M.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI don’t really see how we are disagreeing on anything very substantial. (Including whether I am married, which is very substantial to me, but not to the CR). So ok.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantLMA:
If it makes you happy, I’ll say I’m only talking about married people. (I just wonder if you think shir hashirim is only for married people.)
And you have no idea if I’m married or not. And I like it that way. (Unless you know who I am- in which case I don’t know why you are saying I’m not married. Unless you are my wife and I really should come home fast.)
popa_bar_abbaParticipantBicyclists are a menace to society. It should be illegal to ride a bicycle in the street.
And if you hit one, it should automatically be the bicyclist’s fault unless you did it on purpose.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantLMA:
Ok, we can talk about that.
All human relationships were created by Hashem for us to either learn something about Hashem, or to be able to emulate Hashem.
Thus:
We have fathers so that we can understand that Hashem treats us as a father.
We have children so that we can emulate Hashem by doing for someone with no expectation of a return. (and yes, Hashem made the world and could have made us have fathers and not children. Don’t ask me how.)
We have spouses so that we can understand that our relationship with Hashem is like a spouse.
We have kings so that we can understand how Hashem relates to us as a king.
This is clear from shir hashirim, which uses the romantic relationship to analogize to our relationship with Hashem. We are supposed to do that.
You ask whether a single person can have a relationship with Hashem. Yes. But perhaps not the same way a married person can. And perhaps an orphan cannot understand the way Hashem acts as a father.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantLMA:
If I am not married, and if one needs to be married to understand (which is probably true), I still don’t know what that has to do with this topic.
The fact will remain that we are supposed to use the human romantic relationship to understand our relationship with Hashem- as best as we can understand it.
Thus: Eh? Not sure what you’re saying.
August 8, 2011 4:10 pm at 4:10 pm in reply to: Halacha Discussions, Obscure Heteirim, and the Modern Orthodox #795512popa_bar_abbaParticipantThe most famous person to come out of Volozhin was Chaim Nathan Bialik
Famous to who? I have no idea who that is.
The most famous person to come out of Northwestern Law School is Jerry Springer, but he hardly carries their banner.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantLMA: Eh? Not sure what you’re saying.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantAnd Rav Chaim Ozer used to make havdala on an electric bulb to show that it was eish.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantpopa – the gemara says ????? ??????? ?? ???? – LIKE the way of the leitzim.
Hmmm. I don’t know.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantThat is something they should think of. You are correct in being a bit annoyed. But they aren’t doing it on purpose, it is just unthinking.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI have a screenname for a reason so that nobody except yossi z knows who I am even if it’s the nicest guy in the world
And Bar Shattya knows who I am. Also most of my friends in real life. But charlie hall doesn’t know.
popa_bar_abbaParticipanttwisted: I can’t do google translate because I don’t know how to spell that in yiddish.
chacham: Precisely. Because shir hashirim is not a song about human relationships, it is about using human relationships to understand our relationship with Hashem. Leitzim use it to sing about human relationships.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantThank you aries. I like when we agree.
Your post expresses this much better than I can, and is beautiful.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantYes where is he?
He will like my romance thread. I so rarely agree with him and it is such fun when we do.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantRead the later posts there.
I am saying:
1. Romance is not treif.
2. Your kids should know you love your wife. By showing it in your home.
3. Using the concept of romance in your connection with Hashem is absolutely appropriate, and I am unconvinced that romantic songs are inappropriate for that.
I am not saying:
That movies, TV, looking at shiktzas, goyishe music, facebook, twitter, YWN, Public Displays of Affection, are ok.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantAnd I agree with everything you just said.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantobservanteen:
I’m sorry you feel that way.
I have a hard time seeing what you find so offensive about my thread, even if you disagree with me. I’m open to being convinced that I’m wrong; I’m not bashing anyone; and there is nothing vulgar about the discussion itself.
If it is making people leave, I guess it should be closed. I certainly don’t want to chase anyone away.
Anyone else want to weigh in on this? Does the actual discussion bother you?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantItche and Pops and other defenders of MO
I have nothing against Modern Orthodox, and in fact I know some modern Orthodox people who are well versed in Torah, however if you have a shittah that it is permitted to watch movies, have girlfriends and do other dvarim assurim, you aren’t modern “Orthodox” you are just plain a modern day mumar lteyavon.
Firstly, I am not remotely a defender of MO.
Secondly, talk about setting up a straw man. I don’t endorse those things. I never did.
