TMB:
It usually has to do with better education, and more, with a stronger career interest. Many women do not pursue career opportunities because they wish to have a family. Even if they don’t stop working, they don’t try to get better positions, or they go to part time.
I do not know what is bothering you.
I hate when people think I can’t be right just because I was right yesterday, and the day before….
Yes. It is fine.
I buy modified M16s that don’t fire automatic, then I take them to this guy in Alabama with a shaved head who fixes them.
No. Why should you offer her a seat? Is it harder for her to stand than you?
Unless you’re trying to get a date with her.
The only studies I have heard or seen, including a wikipedia search, are studies done which do not factor for job, education, experience, career plan, etc.
Everyone should own at least one automatic rifle and handgun per member of the house.
I personally also have sawed off shotguns also in case of a close quarters standoff.
I got my daughter a derringer for her second birthday because it was light enough for her to hold. She can now hold a 9mm, so she uses the derringer when she plays “house”.
Sacrilege:
I have never heard of an instance that was not readily explainable, and apparently neither have you.
When they talk about it on the news, they talk about comparing national average salary, which is deliberately misleading since it is not comparing similar jobs.
The lack of concrete examples, combined with a known pattern of disinformation, and a clear axe to grind, make any broad statements pretty suspect.
It is a factor to consider.
But, the problem is not the divorce, it is the bad marriage that led to it, and the fallout.
So, if you marry someone whose parents are not divorced, you just don’t know what is going on in the house. You may be better off with a divorce where at least you know what the problem is.
“Seminary knowledge”
Who ever thought we’d see “seminary” and “knowledge” together?
Well, I don’t believe it, and have never heard of an instance. I suppose I can’t argue with your professor since I don’t know what he said or what studies he was referencing.
Oh, well.
Glass ceiling has to do with promotions and is not about unequal pay for the same job.
Machshava usually refers to books like the nefesh hachaim by R’ Chaim Volozhin.
I don’t know why they let people retake it. It’s not as if you became a better driver. If you can’t pass a road test, you shouldn’t be allowed to drive.
(I figured a whole thread with no obnoxious posts was a waste.)
Pentagon.
I don’t believe men get paid more for the same job. Lawyers don’t, doctors don’t, speech therapists don’t.
The numbers they put out of .83 to the dollar are for the workplace as a whole. The reason for that is that men have better jobs and are more into their career.
You should ask why; it is your decision to make. If they say personality, you should weigh that against your other options. If they say he is a bad person to be with, you should ask how he knows.
I would start a thread asking how people would do it, and then just disappear.

I was once asked by a shadchan if I wanted a picture.
I said, “I don’t know, can I trust you?”
He said, “yes”.
Well, he emailed the information sheet, and it had a picture! And I couldn’t trust him!
The moral of the story is, if shadchanim would be honest, we wouldn’t need to ask for pictures.
Oomis:
I don’t really understand your indignation. You were asked for a picture, you gave it, and you asked for one also. So what is the problem?
It seems like you only asked for one to be “fair”. I don’t understand that. If you want one, you should ask for one without him asking first. And if you don’t want one, then why should you ask for one now?
Also, shouldn’t it be your daughter who is deciding if she wants a picture?
MOD:
CHOLENT!!
HERRING!!
KISHKE!!
THAT WASNT SO DEEP!!
Sorry for the all caps everyone. I am mad at the mod for not putting it through the first time.
American and Brit are fighting over whether an elevator is called elevator or lift.
Brit: We should know, we invented the language.
American: So, we invented the elevator.
the seminaries ask for that so that they could put a name and information to a face!!!! they want to be familiar with you by your interview.
Come on, I’ve interviewed and was never asked for a picture first. The real reason is like I said.
And if it is good enough for them, it is good enough for me.
They are filled with nitrogen which makes you high. That is why.
Or how about you hit your kid because he is misbehaving.
The next day, his sister is crying, and he wallops her a good one! Or maybe he is upset at you, so he throws a punch.
Or maybe, 50 years later, when you are not eating your mashed potatoes, he slaps you.
charlie:
I wasn’t trying to disagree with you.
I am saying that there is really no definition that will be definite enough to use.
Also, I’m pretty sure that person could not serve as a witness, nor host people.
Kupat Hair!!
I would never want to fool myself.
This wasn’t number one.
Oh! Folk stories?
I believe in Hansel and Gretel, and in the three little pigs.
If a cat was following me, I’d be pretty suspicious. Cats don’t usually follow strangers.
Now, if I had been feeding it…
I can’t think of any definition.
If someone keeps shabbos and kashrus, but not any other mitzva, is that frum?
If someone keeps shabbos, kashrus, nidda, yomtov, and wears teffilin; but, doesn’t daven, doesnt fast on any fast, doesn’t wear tzitzis, doesn’t have a bris, is married to a goy, steals from the government, steals from business partners, denies G-d, and doesnt keep any other mitzva, is that frum.
My point is, there is no list you can give which is all inclusive of what you need to do, and is all exclusive of things which can make you “frum” even if you don’t do all those things.
What’s a chanyuk?
Who here is a chanyuk?
eclipse:
Have I implied I don’t like your posts? I do like them. I wisely stayed out of the issue on the one which became an issue.
Great idea for a thread.
What do you think ______’s peckel is?
