    You are all evil. Worse than the guy who was chazzan and singing so much and I said they should throw esrogim at him.

    You all pretend to care about people, but all you care about is your own warped morals.

    You all are exactly why everybody hates the medical establishment like opthamologists AND also hates the medical “opinions establishment”.

    And you argue like a bunch of chickens over an egg. Who cares whose egg it is? Once it hatches it’ll walk away anyway.

    Pareve Cheese Cake recipe:

    1. Take pareve ice cream cake.

    2. Add lemon juice.

    3. That’s all. It’s just acidic pareve ice cream.

    You’re making that same mistake again, assuming that if you haven’t seen something, it must not exist.

    If chazal say there was such an avodah zarah, I believe them.

    I consider chazal at least as reliable a historical source as the modern day archaeologists and historians.

    True, there is no amount one has to buy, but waiters and waitresses make next to nothing. Just ordering soda, while allowed, doesn’t seem like a nice thing to do

    And I think that you just like to think of yeshivish people as not nice, so you find things they do and decide it isn’t nice.

    I think that isn’t nice.

    The last time I was at a lounge, between the two of us we got one soda and the rest was water. After 3+ hours my bill was $5. A waiter or waitress is tiped for their service, a drink is all the same to carry regardless of whats in the cup. We use percentages as a metric but it shouldn’t be a hard and fsst rule. I tipped the waitstaff for their wonderful attentiveness with $15 or $20. It’s just rude otherwise and very possibly can be a chillul hashem.

    So if the two of you had also ordered one $2000 drink, you would have tipped $15 or $20?

    Obviously not. Because percentage is more than a metric.

    The dinner last night did not have the pledge of allegiance, nor hatikva. But it did have tehillim, and boy did it have speeches.

    There was almost exclusively separate seating but I sat with my wife anyway at a misfit table. And ate food I’d brought from the shmorg during the speeches, and then left and talked outside. I was sitting in the middle of room, so it wasn’t very inconspicuous when I left.

    Everyone has always known the earth was roughly “round”. It isn’t hard to figure out since if it were flat the horizon wouldn’t disappear.

    I’m not sure what you mean by “disappear”. But that makes no sense in any event. The “horizon” we “see” is actually a refraction of the light that is bent by the atmosphere, so you can actually see beyond the earth’s curve.

    Which actually proves that the earth is flat. But is ridiculous because you can’t bring proofs from it without understanding how it works.

    69 million Americans voted to give him a job.

    Yes, but the question at hand is whether someone would hire him to do a job in a situation where the employer would pay him, instead of him paying the employer using the money of the people who didn’t hire him.

    See how that’s different?

    It depends what the job is.

    If I was running a criminal organization and the job was to break the law and talk his way out of it, I would definitely hire him.

    When I turned bas mitzva, my parents took me to ChapaNosh, or maybe it was Chaval al Hazman. I had never eaten in anything fancier than a pizza shop, and was very impressed.

    They talked to me seriously about how I have to keep mitzvos now and gave me a present.

    It was very nice and IYH I hope to do the same for my daughters.

    Well for my daughters, I would definitely take them to a pizza shop. I am not aware of anywhere better to eat than a pizza shop. Probably mendelsohns. There used to be a silly place that made square pizza, but I think its gone.

    yom yerushalayim is this coming sunday, may 17. right between lag b’omer and shavuot. don’t knock it, before you experience it. stand by the kosel for five minutes, or walk the streets hearing hartzig songs and you will be changed.

    You should also try christmas eve in the vatican. Just listening to the hartzig songs will really change you. Or even just listen to Silent Night now on youtube.

    popa_bar_abba

    Why does the fact that they were previously acquainted affect the story? In fact, when I first read the story I assumed that R’ Gustman knew who R’ Aharon was. And the theory about R” Aharon Kotler seems like grasping at straws. First of all who was the milkman? Second of all, there is no particular reason why a story about R’ Aharon Kotler talking about a milkman who knew Shas would somehow evolve into R’ Aharon Lichtenstein volunteering as a milkman, and even more so with the whole rest of the story.

    Good points.

    Considering it again, I actually think the story makes more sense in the world where they did know one another.

    It explains how Rav Aharon got involved in the discussion. I don’t imagine that the time it takes to drop off milk is long enough to overhear their entire question, and more, don’t you think Rav Gustman and his chavrusah would have said “hello how do you do” to the milkman instead of ignoring him and continuing their conversation? But if Rav Gustman knew Rav Aharon, he would have deliberately called him over and brought him into the conversation.

    And then the comment that “the milkmen here are bekiim” would have been in jest, since he would have known that Rav Aharon wasn’t an ordinary milkman.

    So if that’s the only kasha, I’m still believing the story.

    Maybe Rav Aharon Kotler met Rav Lichtenstein and was calling him the milkman because he could milk kedusha from the outside world?

    Even if/though the parents are wrong, both of you should consider if you want to be in a marriage her parents will resent. You might consider holding yourself out publically as a couple and seeing if they come around on it.

    I’ve seen people who sadly stop talking to their parents over their choice of spouse. That’s messed up. But I wonder if they would have done it had they known the result.
