Poppa bar: What are you talking about?
Did I write that? What am I talking about?
Popa you are lying. You live in Flatbush.
Firstly, I don’t live in Flatbush.
Secondly, it is not nice to call people liars.
Thirdly, we in AK would never lie.
You could also put a gag in your mouth so you can’t pick with your lips and tie your hands so you can’t pick with them either.
Join Popa in Fairbanks, AK. It is a great community. I know everyone in the community by first name. Forget that, I know their cousins by first name.
Now I have to defend the people who are arguing with me also?
How much do you pay for a babysitter?
It depends what you are buying. If you are going to own her in fee simple, I would say somewhere in the 100,000 range.
Popa! That is not funny. Slavery has existed, even in this country, and exists in many places even today. Your callousness towards their plight does not behoove you.
The concept of eved is in the torah. Don’t understand it? Neither do I. But it’s there.
Shouldn’t the question read “How much did you pay for your cleaning woman”?
It really is worth the investment to buy one upfront, instead of renting from someone else.
Besides, the mizbeach is “morid alav dmaos”, “lets down tears on him”. It doesn’t say that it cries for her.
I agree with the OP’s sentiments.
Our purpose in the world is to become like Hashem. “Mah nu rachum, af attah rachum, mah hu…” These are all issues of bein adam lachaveiro. It does not say “mah hu tzaddik af attah tzaddik”.
The purpose of the mitzvos is that they improve our middos. Of course, we do mitzvos because Hashem commanded them, not because we are trying to improve our middos, but chazal have told us that the reason for them is that they improve our middos.
So why do some disparage bein adom lachaveiro?
I theorize it is because other groups have taken the bein adom lacheveiro’s and made that the entire torah, which it is not. By doing so they actually destroy their ability to work on their middos, since Hashem created man in a way that the torah is what can improve him.
I theorize the disparaging of bein adam lachaveiro one occasionally hears (although not very often), is a backlash to those who are denying the place of bein adom lamakom.
What do you think?
aries:
Let us assume for a moment that Redzy should respect you. For whose benefit is that respect? For her of for you?
There are statements in the gemara which are more or less the same as the deleted comment I made.
I’m sorry if you don’t understand them, or if you disagree with them. I also don’t understand them, but if it’s good enough for the amoraim, it’s good enough for me.
Redzy:
I have your back. I don’t understand aries’s criticism.
Chalav Akum.
Akum? You racists. You think all goyim worship stars?
Why do you assume the shadchan wants to hear inappropriate things?
Probably it is wine vinegar from non kosher wine. (With the hooves)
Though I could be mistaken, I believe there is a coffee cleaner that is run through the coffee machine.
Probably the coffee cleaner is made from pig’s hooves.
“I always said starbucks was a bunch of”
Degrading people created BeTzelem Elokim is worse than eating non Kosher.
That is not fair. You didn’t quote my whole sentence. You are unfairly characterizing what I said.
I equally disagree. Redzy is not your daughter.
I also have a slight problem with asking for deference, even when it is your kid or student.
DO YOU WANT TO EAT A PIG? THE HOOFS? THE SNOUT? THE TUSHES? THE ESOPHAGUS?
excuse me, when a young lady comes to an adult forum to chastise the adults
You make it seem as if that was something wrong. It wasn’t.
a ban is used to restrict info and keep people in the dark, so others can keep control of their flock.
Depends on the ban.
A ban on soda is to restrict caloric intake.
A ban on pornography is to restrict certain images, not information of their existence.
Their rov might hold fake cheese is not maris ayin.
He must be blind.
(That is not so bad; Rav Yosef was also blind and he was an amorah.)
why dont you all wait to see what they have to say?
We don’t need to wait.
A. Starbucks sells bacon.
B. Bacon comes from pigs.
C. Pigs don’t chew their cud.
D. The pigs in question weren’t shechted properly, nor salted, nor the cheilev taken out, so even if they did chew their cud it wouldn’t be kosher. (Are pigs a chayah?)
E. Therefore, it is assur.
If the CRC wants to wait,that is fine. I’m busy collecting stones.
Is that real cheese or fake?
They wouldn’t serve fake cheese- that would be maris ayin. They are shkutzim, but they’re not that bad.
College? You walk into a college?
Talk about maris ayin!
Here is the menu:
Oh. Now I get it. Remember the thread about the frum jews going to treif restaurants? I bet they were going to starbucks.
I can live my own life with out being controlled by anyone.
Whether or not you use your own money you have an obligation to listen to your parents.
I would think the opposite. If we are talking about being controlled, I would say: Whether or not you take money you don’t have to listen to your parents.
Degrading people created BeTzelem Elokim is worse than eating non Kosher.
I don’t think so. I think eating non kosher is worse.
Also, I think it is a macholkes whether goyim are created b’tselem, despite the pashut pshat of the mishna.
Also, who was I degrading?
If you want to stop picking your lips, you should put hot pepper on them,so that if you lick them, it will hurt.
Eclipse:
I am sorry you are still taking Yochie’s mean and obnoxious comment seriously.
That thread seems to have disappeared, so we won’t discuss it here.
Eclipse: Look at this thread here. Everybody likes you, and thinks you are smart, funny, interesting, intellectual, honest, and a good online friend. We are sorry you are leaving, and sorry you have a bad taste from on rude poster. Please forget him.
Oh my. I always said starbucks was a bunch of shkutzim.
Yes, everyone recycles. The joke is making that your theme.
Ask not what your teacher can do for you, ask what you can do to help your teacher!!!!!
I don’t agree with this sentiment. The teacher is there to help you.
I think Redzy has the exact proper attitude about this. There is no mitzva to not realize when you are being taken advantage of.
And it is not chutzpa to criticize someone just because they are an adult.
I would hire her to babysit any day of the week.
Theme: Going green.
Put in recycled shalach manos. Whatever the person before gave you.
(This was my brother’s idea. He is funnier than me sometimes.)
Charlie:
Cool. Thanks.
Now, do we only count the people in a specific area, or does the whole length of the road combine?
Of course, most poskim do not know eruvin, but you do.
All I see is blah blah blah. If you want to use an eruv, go ahead. I also use them. But there is no reason to go berserk over people who do not. There are legitimate reasons to not use them.
Yes, why do you assume you are related to “him”. Maybe you are related to “her”. Especially if she is a bubby.
According to google translate:
“Nam has hired your actions and the enemy were from”
But, google asked if you really meant “neum” and “v’shavu”, in which case:
“Pay for your actions and speech have the enemy in the land”
Not much better.
King James Bible:
your work shall be rewarded, says the LORD,
And they shall come back from the land of the enemy.
That is pretty good. Now, I would prefer to translate “sachar” as payment than reward. But otherwise it seems accurate.
Charlie: Do you know how many people drive on the major roads in NY, like the FDR or the BQE. It may be more than the GWB even though the GWB is denser, because they are longer and most people don’t drive the entire length.
I tried googling, but I’m not good enough at it.
david:
I see, so you are talking about an eruv that uses enough mechitzos that it is considered not a rshus harabim. Hardly the case in most cities.
Also, I am unfamiliar with your reference to knowing about more rishonim now, but;
A. I heard this from a well regarded NY posek.
B. We generally don’t rely as much on rishonim which were newly discovered and were not known to the acharonim.
C. Your link does not work.
D. Your bickering about “kulas” is simply semantics.
It’s suggestive, like wearing pants under a skirt or underwear on top of clothing.
How is wearing pants under a skirt suggestive?
It is amazing the kinds of garbage you women come up with to make crazy tznius rules.
You lose credibility by saying this stuff. Maybe that is why your daughters are wearing skirts that don’ cover their knees.
(And as far as it being like wearing underwear over your clothes, that is stupid.)
I agree with Redzy except for the coming in to the house unannounced.
I don’t know why anyone is criticizing her.
Of course she is entitled to say no. But people do pressure her, and they should appreciate her.
Besides, shouldn’t every employer appreciate her employees? And treat them nicely?
You are correct.
Criticizing it is a mishegas.
Even if the purpose was to announce that you wanted to wear short sleeves, there is nothing wrong with thinking that or saying it.
