Bump!

It doesn’t work like that, the 200ft of land for the next 198 years, is my neighbor’s land.

What? You can’t lease from a lessee? He isn’t allowed to sublease?

akuperma:

Thanks, that doubled down pretty well on my anti-zionist post.

(Also–no idea what you’re talking about. Rome fell far before the Mohammedian conquest.)

(Also–no idea what you’re talking about. Find me one analogous situation in the whole history of the world where an indigenous people has managed to reclaim land after 2000 years, and then their right to retain it was challenged as you are suggesting it should be challenged.)

(Also–no idea what you’re talking about. It is per se malpractice to not appeal a ruling of a lower court? How now?)

(Also–no idea what you’re talking about. He hasn’t even said what jurisdiction he is in, and you’re saying he is ignorant of the law? Are you so familiar with the law in every jurisdiction in the U.S.? Amazing.)

(Also–sorry for going ape on you in this post. Once I’m on a roll it’s hard to stop. Good shabbos!)

It’s a moshol.

The land is Israel, and the zionists leased it from us by asking the UN.

(And the thread gets interesting)

Seminary is stupid.

Although, there aren’t very many cheaper ways to spend the year in Israel, so maybe it’s worth it as a year-long vacation.

Have you considered just backpacking it instead? Stay in hostels and at your aunt’s house?

Your friend is a jerk and doesn’t love his kids?

What else is supposed to be my response?

If he said “I don’t want to support you after you’re married, so you better pick a profession and wife that will let you support yourself”–that would be fine. But he only won’t support him because learning is a lifestyle he doesn’t agree with–implying that he would support him if he was doing something else that doesn’t earn money. So he’s a jerk and doesn’t love his kids.

I mean, I knew there were jerks who don’t love their kids. I didn’t know you were friends with any, but I’m also probably friends with some. I’m not sure how it proves anything about what we should assume normal parents will do.

They’re afraid of the creeps.

No, and of course it is only a matter of degree.

But that hasn’t been my point on this thread.

My point on this thread is in response to lesschumrahs, and to lesser extent yourself, who seem to expect that a parent would cut off their kid for something much more trivial such as wanting to be yeshivish. And moreover implying that because something is a parent’s prerogative, it is therefore also the right thing for the parents to do.

As long as they are paying the bills, they have a vote. Pay for seminary and college yourself and you can do as you wish.

A comment which would make sense if she were considering suing her parents.

But inasmuch as we’re only discussing normal parent-child relationships, I’m not sure why we’re talking about “votes” and “rights.” Presumably her parents want to do what is good for her, and not everything they are “entitled to do.”

Funny, in the shidduch system, no one objects to the parents deciding which boys are appropriate, but in this case the parents are viewed as controlling

Funny works both ways. First figure out how you are critical the other way, and then come call us funny. Also, nobody except OP called it controlling.

I’ve heard that all the counter-missionaries got a heter based on them being descended from goyim.

Most of the dianond sellers aren’t selling real diamonds anyway. Only diff been buying “real” and “fake” is at who is gtting tricked.

You’re essentially paying extra for the privilege of being fooled, so that you won’t feel like a doofus for giving fake.

Everyone in the industry knows this. A real 1 karat ring of a quality you could give your wife would be way out of your range. Don’t believe me? Walk into Tiffany’s and ask for a ring. You think your neighbor’s cousin’s jewelry store has a secret deal with the pope that let’s them get quarter price diamonds?

google is your friend

I take fat, oil, and salt.

I propose a chicken in every pot.

I propose a horse in every stable.

I propose will you marry me?

But if you could eat anything on tisha b’av, it would probably be pareve cholent.

Just to repeat it: pareve cholent! Who eats pareve cholent????? Some kind of PETA activist? Even they would put a little bit of meat in.

Who’s for motzai shabbos cholent? I actually think cholent expires at 2pm on shabbos afternoon and is inedible until the next Thursday night (i never got how people eat cholent leftovers for super Sunday night) but cholent is definitely heimesh, and no offense PBA, but i think beer goes better with cholent than pizza! But that’s just my opinion. In yeshiva wet used to make pareve cholent Thursday night so we could have it with coffee and a cigarette. I guess that’s one of the ways to know you’re not in yeshiva anymore… (Sorry, unrelated post).

What kind of BT yeshiva has pareve cholent and only drinks beer with one type of food?

If I had to eat pareve cholent, I would assume it is tisha b’av and then assur to drink beer or anything.

Pretty sure you’re only allowed to make pizza, troll on YWN, and drink beer.

numbers 2 and 3 are correlated

I said it again this year.

.But boycotting because you cant afford it, sure sounds Communistic to me.

That is free market. People acting freely in self interest to further their interests.

You are confusing private action with government action, with confusing results.

So you’re admitting to having a goat.

I wouldn’t mind hiring a BY girl as my plumber. Would feel a whole lot better about it than having that big weird dude who currently comes.

BY girls are just selfish and that’s why they aren’t becoming plumbers, at our expense.

And that selfishness is what will kill people. It certainly isn’t an attitude that Judaism supports.

Self interest is not selfishness. That sounds a bit Catholic.
