Is the sh’china shoreh on aliens?
December 4, 2015 6:29 am at 6:29 am in reply to: Do you know why the crock pot was invented? #1115210screwdriverdelightParticipantHey, I thought you were joking. It’s the first thing that comes up on a google search.

December 4, 2015 6:25 am at 6:25 am in reply to: The NASI Project – an updated assesement of this shidduch initiative #1116046screwdriverdelightParticipantBeing as how the crisis has little or nothing to do with the age gap, I’d be surprised if they succeeded in anything other than getting their names in the papers.
December 4, 2015 6:18 am at 6:18 am in reply to: Arguing over whether humans are alone in the universe #1115831screwdriverdelightParticipantThey live in the CR.
screwdriverdelightParticipantJoseph, I completely agree.
screwdriverdelightParticipantFirst learn all 6 chalakim of the Mishna BREWra
42: Nah. Unless you want to be a Shul Rabbi Chelek Dalet isn’t necessary.
Unfortunately, one can get s’micha without knowing any of orach chayyim.
December 3, 2015 7:29 pm at 7:29 pm in reply to: Invited to the Wedding Feast, not the Ceremony-would you be offended? #1142975screwdriverdelightParticipantThe old-time American weddings were like that: the chupah, followed by a reception, then a meal for close family/friends. It certainly has its advantages.
December 3, 2015 7:25 pm at 7:25 pm in reply to: Arguing over whether humans are alone in the universe #1115828screwdriverdelightParticipantThere are aliens living here, too.
screwdriverdelightParticipantHm…so Comlink-X is really a mod
screwdriverdelightParticipantComlink-X, how do you find cached pages of the cr? I keep on trying but can’t.
Goldilocks’s subtitle used to have an exclamation point at the end. (I think.)
screwdriverdelightParticipantDo any women like the anisakis worms in the herring also?
screwdriverdelightParticipantAnd why did anyone want to revive a 5-year old disgraceful thread so soon after a terrorist attack on Paris?
You make it sound like we should have more respect for the French because of the attack.
screwdriverdelightParticipantbump
screwdriverdelightParticipantAnd when you press edit, does it type in bold automatically or do you have to type <strong.>?
I have to type it, but I have hired someone to do it for me

screwdriverdelightParticipantAside for the reasons of why, what would be a safe and (halachacly) acceptable way of treating it before getting worse?
Wear a toupee.
screwdriverdelightParticipantSo Pollard is out of prison and the President is Barack Obama.
Are you trying to make a connection between the two?
screwdriverdelightParticipantI thought that Pluto wasn’t a planet anymore…
What does that have to do with anything???
screwdriverdelightParticipantakuperma, which kabbalists are you referring to?
screwdriverdelightParticipantOh, I think I know what you meant…you were asking why I wanted them posted on the linked usernames! thread if they’re anyway not linked. So even though you’re one of the greatest mods around, you’re obviously not up-to-date on that thread, which recently took a sharp turn to discussing profiles with no activity listed on them.
screwdriverdelightParticipantCan you indulge me with a full paragraph?
screwdriverdelightParticipantscrewdriverdelightParticipantBut they also are not linked so not sure why you were posting them. What are you referring to? The links that were in yellow? Surely a mod is able to see them, no?
screwdriverdelightParticipantMeaning: I haven’t received an answer to this question:
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/mod-29#post-589186
and this post
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/mod-29#post-589294
has been yellow for 4 days.
screwdriverdelightParticipantFrogs aren’t purple.
screwdriverdelightParticipantI’m not complaining or anything, but what gives?
huh?
November 27, 2015 8:48 pm at 8:48 pm in reply to: Suggest subtitles for others (okay, and yourself…) #1152656screwdriverdelightParticipanta suggestion for shopping613’s subtitle
screwdriverdelightParticipantLF, Are you waiting for someone tothrow that question back at you (Which I actually meant, on my second post)?
screwdriverdelightParticipantAll the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.
November 27, 2015 8:08 pm at 8:08 pm in reply to: Suggest subtitles for others (okay, and yourself…) #1152654screwdriverdelightParticipantlooking for one that fits
screwdriverdelightParticipantIf you sing it too late everyone will be sleeping already.
screwdriverdelightParticipantIt’s certainly understandable that they don’t want the character of their town to change, and if they play it right and use the right words [=don’t use the wrong words], could have a legal right as well.
screwdriverdelightParticipantnewbee:
Granted Im not a political expert, but it seems to me Obama wants to change the look, character and face of America sooner than keep US troops in Syria, defeat Isis, and pressure other Islamic countries to at least take in refugees.
I think you’re mixing apples and elephants. Accepting the refugees is independent from interfering in Syria and defeating ISIS. Additionally, you say Obama wants to “change the look, character and face of America.” Granted I’m not a political expert but I agree with you, but that doesn’t have to be a component here. The refugees can be accepted temporarily, they don’t have to be granted citizenship, and if they’re kept in quarantine they don’t don’t even have to mingle with Americans.
screwdriverdelightParticipantscrewdriverdelightParticipantWhy are my posts on “linked usernames” not being approved?
screwdriverdelightParticipantFortunately a P.
screwdriverdelightParticipantubiquitin, it’s vile (and unconstitutional) to do that to citizens with rights. But when you’re faced with a choice between turning down refugees and sending them back to the battlefield vs. allowing them an asylum, no matter how uncomfortable that asylum may be, you’re helping them out. If they’d rather their freedom, they’re more than welcome not to come.
November 23, 2015 8:36 pm at 8:36 pm in reply to: I know this sounds like a stupid question… #1114043screwdriverdelightParticipantA google search for ki tov sachra seminary will lead you to an email address. I’d post it here but it probably wouldn’t be approved.
screwdriverdelightParticipantAre you the P or the T?
screwdriverdelightParticipantParking should be banned on Coney Island Ave, transforming the one-lane street into a three-lane street.
screwdriverdelightParticipantThe terror threat could easily be avoided by doing the same thing they did with the Japanese in WWII. Let in all the refugees to a large, guarded area, and when (if) the dust settles in Syria, send them back.
They’re not citizens, they’ll have no rights. What’s wrong with that?
November 23, 2015 8:08 pm at 8:08 pm in reply to: "What's your favorite color?" is bad chinuch #1114169screwdriverdelightParticipantUbiquitin, I’m well aware of the definition. Do you mind explaining where I suggested someone is not entitled?
screwdriverdelightParticipantIt’s very improper and I don’t know why people do it.
screwdriverdelightParticipantTap tap trio. The one who’s “it” is supposed to count to 100, but most people do less.
November 20, 2015 5:40 pm at 5:40 pm in reply to: Is it mutar to listen to a shiur from your Rabbi on shabbos? #1113240screwdriverdelightParticipantBut you are not “doing” anything. It is being done prior to Shabbos It’s forbidden to do it before Shabbos if it will make noise on Shabbos.
November 20, 2015 5:38 pm at 5:38 pm in reply to: "What's your favorite color?" is bad chinuch #1114165screwdriverdelightParticipantubiquitin, entitled means that one has a right and I never said people don’t have a right. I said what makes sense, what is proper, but never did I say they don’t have a right to do what they want.
For your second point, you’re right, if a child would be faced with a choice of food and you say, “which is your favorite? Make a b’racha on that one.” And, naturally, you would ask the child what his favorite food is for each of the b’rachos. That is not at all the case. Many children are asked that question long before they know any hilchos b’rachos.

The kesef mishna quotes his source from avos dr’ nasan, so I doubt you’ll find anyone who argues.
What you said in 2), I didn’t say everyone is capable of reaching such a madreiga, but why do we go out of our way to train our children not to attain that level?
What you said in 3), my objection is that in puts emphasis on eating foods which taste good. You wouldn’t ask a child “So, what gets you angry the most?” even though when anger is kept in check there’s nothing wrong with it (derech habeinoni).
4) A) Yes, food is allowed to taste good. Read what I wrote above. B) The purpose of salt is for health, not to make the bread taste better.
Comlink X, it was in response to his second post, Why do you care about chinuch?
As to Yaakov and Eisav, as well as the fact that Halacha clearly takes good food into account, I’m not sure the onus is on me to explain that, given that the rambam I quoted makes this point, but anyway, I don’t think it’s much of a question. Hasheim did put flavor in food, for our benefit, people do enjoy good tasting food rather than bad tasting food, and it follows that when we make a b’racha, we make it on the food from which we receive the most pleasure. And, like you quoted from R’ Miller, Yitzchak wanted to feel more gratitude toward Eisav. But, after all said and done, it must be realized that the purpose of food is health and nourishment, and to teach a child otherwise is wrong.

screwdriverdelightParticipantWho said you argue for the purpose of convincing anybody?
