Actually, I really am the rightful Duke of Westminster, and am really 78th in line to the throne.

you can search. The easiest way is to go the dvar torah thread which is stickied, and find a post by “chofetz chaim”. If you click on his name, it brings you to a search page.

I know that is odd. But you do some odd things also.

normal drink??

You mean alcohol.

I think it is not tznius to stay in the car.

If you walk her to the door, you walk beside her, like you have been doing the entire night.

If you stay in the car, you sit and watch her walk to the house.

I always did. I walked to the door and waited for her to open it, then said good night. I even got out of the car if we were breaking up.

There is nothing wrong with Nitrogen and nothing wrong with Glycerin, but if you put them together they explode.

Why not? Was she fat?

I don’t know why the Drudge Report would insinuate sleaze to you, and exposes are a good thing.

I understand. I am wondering why you would want to marry a boy’s parents.

Firstly, they are often married to each other.

Secondly, only one of them is a man.

Thirdly, he might be much older than you.

There is a “red light speeder upper”. Some emergency vehicles have them, and you can buy one also.

Last I heard, they were trying to figure out how to outlaw them.

So the case apusheteyid is citing shows that NY considers criminal negligence to be recklessness, which requires consciously ignoring the risk. It is a pretty high standard, and I don’t imagine it can be easily used for texting.

I am guessing the states attorney is trying to see whether the courts will allow it and is using this as a test case.

Hmm. I didn’t read the statute. What does it say?

Also, are all vehicular cases limited to those two categories, or can you do criminally negligent homicide in a car also?

Don’t you value your sleep?

Who wasn’t sleeping?

Like I said in a previous post, I dated a guy who was the same height as me and I was not comfortable w that, do you think I would be comfortable w someone shorter?!

That makes no sense. We only know you are not ok with someone being the same height. Being taller or being shorter are equally different from being the same height.

You have previously stated that you would be ok with someone taller. Therefore, it stands to reason that you would be ok with someone who was shorter.

Thank you RB.

I did mean to make that point.

But, I really did go through the thought process I describe.

I used to text and speed, and talk on the phone, and roll stop signs. One day, I heard about the law of per se negligence, and realized that I should not text, since the legislature had clearly decided that it was negligent. But then I remembered that I also speed, which showed me that I do not recognize the legislature’s definition of negligence. So I took out my phone and texted.

If you see some guy in a green civic with a SHMUZ magnet texting away at the wheel while speeding and rolling stop signs, it is me. Better get out of the way, because I can’t see you.

I’m sorry if this makes anyone upset. But really, you are going to get mad at me? Do you get mad at all your friends if you see them talking on the phone or speeding? (when you are not in the car.)

Health:

That is not a very nice thing to say.

Is nursing school like nursery school?

From Wikipedia:

A finishing school (or charm school) is “a private school for girls that emphasises training in cultural and social activities.”[1][2] The name reflects that it follows an ordinary school and is intended to complete the educational experience, with classes primarily on etiquette. It may consist of an intensive course, or a one-year programme.

The term finishing school is occasionally used in American parlance to refer to certain small women’s colleges, primarily on the East Coast, that were known for serving to prepare their female students for marriage. Since the 1960s, many of these schools have become defunct as a result of financial difficulties stemming from parents’ decreased interest in paying for such an education for their daughters, and changing societal norms making it easier for daughters to pursue academic and professional paths not open to previous generations.

Sounds like seminary to me.

rabbi of berlin:

I disagree with what you are saying, assuming I understand you correctly.

I don’t believe the proper way to paskin is to look at who you are allowed to argue with and then just take sides as you see fit. It is true that one is not an apikores if he argues with a rishon, but he is a fool.

If Rav Moshe occasionally took sides in a machlokes that was hundreds of years old, I am sure it was with a healthy respect for the hundreds of years worth of commentary which came in between.

I contrast this to a perception I have among some, which is to validate any opinion based on finding a random rishon on which to hang one’s hat. I don’t think that is what any real posek has ever done.

If that is not what we are discussing, then we agree.

(And thank you for the original compliment)

It never gets inappropriate.
