popa_bar_abbaParticipant
mah zeh roots?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantShe said, “You coward! Do you want to marry me or not!?”
popa_bar_abbaParticipanthow did your spouse propose to you?
That would be very weird since I am a man.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantWell maybe this could help reduce the stigma.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantBut what is the difference what we define as a mental disorder?
Overeaters have a hard time stopping and sometimes join Overeaters anonymous.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantWell, the topic which was started today was closed, and I don’t think this is the same topic, so I’ll continue where today’s topic left off.
I am a bit freaked out by Germans and people from certain other countries like Ukraine.
I like to travel, but I don’t want to ski the Austrian Alps. I don’t want to tour Ukraine or France. These people can never atone for what they did to us, and I am not completely convinced they intend to.
It kind of gives me a better understanding for how African Americans feel about America sometimes.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI would say not shopping at those stores could be a good idea. However, it sort of enforces the notion that boycotts are a good idea.
I am planning to send them an email complaining.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantpopa_bar_abba -Hey Popa, you didn’t include WIY. Does this mean WIY is someone else?
This has nothing to do with me. I don’t know who anyone is.
I only posted the ones who the mods have identified.

Huh?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantFascinating. Sounds like it could be an issue. I don’t think Coke has a hashgacha in all countries.
Why don’t you call one of the national hashgacha agencies and tell them.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantWas it an international flight?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantAre you sure it is a problem when the coke doesn’t have an O-U? I think all the American coke is certified regardless of the label.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantWolf:
It seems more complicated than that.
Firstly, devarim she’b’leiv einum devarim, so if you manifest kiddushin it is irrelevant what you actually thought.
Secondly, if the couple was “assukin b’oso inyan” (of marriage), the gemara says we assume the money was given for kiddushin and accepted for kiddushin.
So, you were presumably not talking about marrying your niece. If you were, it would present a similar difficulty.
I think the main question here probably is whether we can say it was not kiddushin when everyone knows it is not kiddushin despite that the classic manifestation is present.
January 13, 2011 4:17 am at 4:17 am in reply to: Most Courteous Place To Shop At:Praise And You'll See More Of It #728796popa_bar_abbaParticipantThere is this stall in the souk in Zimbabwe which has excellent service. They sell cassava.
popa_bar_abbaParticipanthe probably meant insulated.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantIf some madman beats me to a pulp tomorrow, I am going to say it was your fault. (along with talk radio)
popa_bar_abbaParticipantnot always
popa_bar_abbaParticipantWhy is cshapiro referring to popa in third person?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantPopa drinks a cup of decaf from the machine in shul every morning that.
Popa used to buy coffee also but it was too expensive.
January 13, 2011 3:02 am at 3:02 am in reply to: Is there an inyin that your zivug should look like you? #728604popa_bar_abbaParticipantAccording to Popa, it is assur to marry someone who looks like you because it might be your sister.

I am not sure what you are responding to.
I also don’t like violent rhetoric. I don’t think it is ok to say a candidate “should be shot”.
I think it fine to use violent words in a non-literal context.
ex. “We are going to massacre them this November”. “We are going to kill this bill”. “We are going to dismember their party”.
Therein lies the difference between Sara Palin and the Democrat congressman I linked.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI once tried to start a thread where we would all post if one of our posts had closed a thread, but it wasn’t let up.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI think you are wrong.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantThe floors here don’t get mopped like in America, they require ‘sponja’, which is more like man’s labor than ladies.
The only cleaning which is man’s labor is scraping the BBQ.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI tell them to go away and not use me as their chessed of the day.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantPopa thinks that a usb drive refers to the hole in your computer that you put the printer cable into.
That is much different than an external drive which is a hard drive that you attach to your computer through the USB drive.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI was expecting lashon hara. oh well.

popa_bar_abbaParticipantmemo:
No, I didn’t mean it it was a valid opinion. It is not.
I meant some people misguidedly think so and that it is a harmful belief.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantIn my opinion, the concept of “beshert” is the most harmful concept to people’s dating and getting married.
Some people think that there is one person who you are meant to marry; and that if you marry her, it will be perfect; and if you don’t, it will be Gehenom.
If you think that, I don’t know how you can ever get married. How will you ever be certain enough that it is the right one to justify taking that risk.
Also, once you are married, there is no incentive to work on the marriage since if it is the right one there will be natural bliss and if not there will be natural Hell.
That is not the way it works. I don’t know what beshert is, but you are supposed to marry someone who you reasonably think you can live with, and work to make it happen.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantBJJ:
You are very correct.
My first post was intended to answer why the bias exists. However, it is certainly true that the bias is unfair, and not even justified.
There are too many factors which go into people’s development to focus on just one and declare it dispositive. Children from whole families often have very difficult issues.
Additionally, nobody knows what happens inside the house. Imagine a couple who have a really bad marriage. If they divorce, their children will be “tainted”. If they stay married, their children will not be tainted- but will likely be exposed to far worse.
Maybe it is better to marry someone who wears the background on their sleeve, instead of finding buried issues later. I think it is probably easier to deal with what you know.
January 12, 2011 2:53 pm at 2:53 pm in reply to: Did the political tone influence yesterday's shooting. #727395popa_bar_abbaParticipantHow do you like this?
Here we have a Democratic congressman who is calling for civility in the wake of the recent assassination.
The same guy said on October 23 about then Florida Republican candidate for governor:
“That Scott down there that’s running for governor of Florida,” Mr. Kanjorski said. “Instead of running for governor of Florida, they ought to have him and shoot him. Put him against the wall and shoot him.”

popa_bar_abbaParticipantYou are asking two questions.
what makes a home considered a broken home?
Standard definition is probably that the two parents are alive but not living together,
how come if a girl is completely healthy and stable she could b considered second class if her parents are divorced?
There is a thinking that people learn how to interact with their spouse from their parents.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantHow do you like this?
Here, he tells us he has been out of work for 18 months:

popa_bar_abbaParticipantThe shabbos reason could possibly be why.
I think it looks odd since it scrunches up your jacket.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantpopa bear is def a middlle aged single guy prob balding a bit too.
I’ll have you know that my grandfather still has almost a full head of hair. I expect to take my “chup” to the grave.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantPeople used to think there was something wrong with drinking also.
These health fears come and go.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantpopa- is a petite girl in her 20s who has fun pretending to be a tough man
I am a petite girl in my 20s. But I pretend to be a man because of my dis-associative identity disorder.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI don’t think you should feel bad for saying it.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantcrdle:
There won’t be.
I will sell you my spot for $50.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantParking on the left side of a one way street.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantAgain, I am not asking why there is a minhag to tie a black cord around one’s waist before davening.
I am asking why that black cord is specifically tied over the jacket (where it looks absurd), instead of under the jacket.
Does anybody know?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantWhy do people wear a gartel over their jacket? Is it not good enough if you wear it over your pants?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI killed the monster last night and the smell of decomposing flesh is overwhelming.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantWolf:
The issue would be that if they manifested an intention of kiddushin, we would probably say that the actual intention is irrelevant since “devarim shebileiv einum devarim”.
Now, I suppose you might argue that here everyone knows that this manifestation of kiddushin is not real- and that makes it not a manifestation. Maybe it is like if they are actors in a play. I wonder what the halacha in such a case.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantNot really.
The gemara says if they were “asukin b’oso inyan” and he gave it to her, there is kiddushin.

He is referring to the shooting on Saturday which killed 6. It was perpetrated by a “lefty pothead” against a politician.
I personally think he was just a deranged person, and it is unfair to blame his political affiliation.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI always wondered that.
A guy says, “will you marry me”
she says, “yes”
He gives her a ring.
If there were eidim, how are they not married?
January 11, 2011 6:42 pm at 6:42 pm in reply to: Did the political tone influence yesterday's shooting. #727386popa_bar_abbaParticipantcleverjewish:
I hope your not planning to show up in the CR with an Uzi.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI think an elaborate proposal is a cop out from having to actually express your feelings.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantNo piece of square dry paper can be folded more than 7 times in half!
I have heard this, but do not believe it.
If you begin with a piece of toilet paper which is 100 billion miles long, and fold it 8 times, the length will be 390,625,000 miles.
I see no reason why a paper which is that long and is the thickness of 2,000 pieces of toilet paper could not remain folded.
