I am not a CPA, but my answers are:
A, B, C, D, E, G, H should all be capitalized.
I think F is not, that seems more like an operating cost.
I think H is, if you spent money developing a list. If the list just happened itself, then not.
I don’t know what US GAAP or IFRS are. But I know what the INDOPCO regs are.
It depends if they are a pushover, and really resent it, or if they are actually internalizing the inconvenience and are want to do it anyway.
I’d rather be a man, but I like women waaaay better.
Tzniyus is actually getting out of control – and I don’t mean the way our girls dress. I mean the focus on Tzniyus.
I tend to agree with this. Women and girls think it is the most important thing in the torah.
It isn’t.
There is no better way to get me to click on a thread.
Presumably, the reason it is now being distributed, is because he had to to avoid the Rule Against Perpetuities.
The Rule states, that no grant is valid if it does not vest within 21 years of the death of any living person.
So he probably specified that 21 years after the death of all his then living descendants, that it should be divided.
Move on. No girl is that good, that there isn’t another, when you’ve barely met her.
Thanks charlie!
Friends:
I am bothered by this thread. I don’t think anybody has a right to criticize how someone else observes tznius.
If a school has decided that their standards of tznius are that their young women should not give public speeches in front of their friend’s fathers, that is a perfectly legitimate expression of the school’s standard.
As it happens, I find it surprising that most of you would not personally have a problem with it. This is a pretty basic standard in our world, that women do not speak at public events before men.
Why do you think your shul doesn’t have women speakers? (SJS, Charlie, yes, I know your shul does.)
Is it because they have nothing worth hearing? I doubt it. It is because it is not tznius.
As a professor of mine told us this past semester
Wolf, have you told us you are in school? What for?
popa are you serious?
the part about where the grandparents are buried.
Is that the one you thought was the craziest?
What size dress does she wear?
Do they use plastic tablecloths on shabbos?
Do they use real china even when there are no guests?
Are the grandparents buried next to each other or in different rows?
Read them every single pasuk in 24 sifrei tanach that directly mentions tznius. (There are about 10.)
Is that how you would teach hilchos shabbos also? (There are about 5.)
Are we tzeduki (Sadducee)? Do we only believe in what we can read from the words of the chumash?
From the NY daily news story, it seems it began with a blogger known as F

Thanks DY. (I was going to thank you for the support, but then I noticed the name of this thread, and I don’t do puns.)
popa,
forgive me for saying this but if one cares about their children, then shouldn’t they care about their children’s children, and so on? Isn’t a big part of Yiddishkeit the continuation of our kind? While this in a a large part means providing for torah study, we should also bear in mind the changes to society’s normalities and their ramifications ie. if we are propagating an unsustainable system?
It would be different, if we were creating a system whereby we were cutting off options from future generations.
That is happily not the case. Future generations will make the choices they need to make, and we will make the choices we need to make.
Even if we were cutting off options from them, I still think I would disagree.
We need to do what is appropriate today. G-d has enough money in his bank account to take care of our great grandchildren. I don’t think a part of this generations “hishtadlus” is to worry about 4 generations from now.
My school taught by hiring models
???????????????????????????????????????
MODELS?????????????????????????????????
This thread makes no sense anymore.
does this mean that none of the Roshei Yeshivah or rabbonim are present at these graduations?
Yes, it does mean that.
Who’s going to pay their great-grandkids’ yeshiva tuition and pay to marry them off and support them and when they start having kids…
I really don’t care who is going to pay my great-grandkids tuition.
I think I am entitled to make decisions for myself, that are good for me and my generation, without worrying about the impact on my great-grandkids.
Now I turn the floor to you. What does make a person Jewish? Surely you must know!
Halacha makes someone Jewish. We pasken that we follow matrilineal descent. Nobody besides me has ever suggest that it makes a difference if you are a man or woman.
It is actually a bit surprising that matrilineal descent is so accepted, being that this opinion is not unanimous in the gemara.
Who was so ignorant and arrogant that they deleted my father’s account, after he had it reactivated?
It now says the username does not exist, which means that the user was deleted.
PBA – if you are not comfortable with girls speaking then you don’t have to sit through
Perhaps my daughter is not comfortable with you being there.
I’m ok with it. I think it is not very tznius for girls to be on stage making speeches to men.
Even if you think it is ok, you should be able to see how someone else may have an issue with it.
Pupa!
Mods: Please, you cant let it fall off the page. At least post something and bump it.
Why don’t you just marry her? (the coworker in question).
How bad could it be already? Worse than being single?
(Now, this is a typical troll question. Nothing clever, just inflammatory.)
idk i think its a lack of tznius……
Tznius is the “commerce clause” of contemporary Judaism.
I’d also like to mention that I resent my post being called a “typical troll question”.
There was nothing typical about my question. It was creative and brilliant.
Who ever thought of asking if women are Jewish?
Most importantly, what possible non-semantic difference could there be. I never suggested they aren’t chayav in the mitzvos they are chayav in. So who cares what we call them.
It is like if I would have suggested yisroelim aren’t Jewish because they can’t eat terumah. Who cares? Call them what you want, yehudim, yisroel, bnei yisroel, Jews, zhids, or whatever. It makes no difference.
I creatively ducked any discussion actual issues, and focused solely on definitions which make no difference.
It was much better than MosheRose, or OVER 1 MILLION JEWS IN NY. It was sheer brilliance.
Mod: change it to an atypical troll question, please.
AMC:
No, not you. sms007
Haleivi:
While I’d like to pretend my intentions were that sophisticated, the point really was to have fun.
And I did have fun. And I think other posters also did. One poster suggested she was insulted, but I am skeptical of that. If she was, I am sorry (but not very. I would do it again. Stay tuned for another slow motzaei shabbos. I have a feeling these things may depend on which moderator is on. It looks like this mornings moderator wasn’t as amused. Or perhaps it was the same one, and s/he thought the joke was over.)
I even got myself a new subtitle out of it. And so did Bina.
Thanks obvious!
Well, looks like it got closed.
That’s ok, I was done with it anyway.
Everyone: Thanks for an entertaining motzaei shabbos.
Bina: I didn’t pull a joseph, it really is my father, and I had nothing to do with his post. (I just told him about the thread, as well as everyone else I know.)
Yes, the diabetes thread has 20 times as many posts, but they took over a year, while mine has 85 and has been open for only a couple of hours.
Glad to have ya back.
Thanks!
