Torah613TorahParticipant
1. How do you know I don’t know them?
2. Even if I don’t know them, I still care enough about them to give them the best advice I can, even if they may find it unpleasant and be nervous about acting on it.
TAOM: It is not healthy to be uncomfortable hugging your parents or saying I love you. It is important to recognize when something is not healthy, face up to it, and fix it, and therapy can help with that.
Torah613TorahParticipantRoot beer.
August 14, 2013 4:34 pm at 4:34 pm in reply to: Why Aren't These Posters Banned and Their Topics Deleted? #970825Torah613TorahParticipantThe Free Dictionary: A leading question is a question phrased in a manner that tends to suggest the desired answer, such as What do you think of the horrible effects of pollution?
tl;dr of my OP: Is it bad to ask a leading question, or is it terrible to ask a leading question?
2scents: Not quite, but closer than anyone else in this thread. 🙂
August 14, 2013 4:00 pm at 4:00 pm in reply to: Why Aren't These Posters Banned and Their Topics Deleted? #970820Torah613TorahParticipantWould you prefer topics such as what is your favorite soda flavor?
Yes; as long as no one says root beer. Root beer tastes terrible and it’s impossible that anyone would really like it, so we know they are only posting it to be provocative. Don’t you agree that people who say that they like root beer should be banned or at least have their posts deleted?
edit:
Is someone doing Onaas Devarim or embarrassing another poster/s here?
Perhaps someone wanted to raise awareness of the concept of recognizing leading questions and responding appropriately, as here: http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/my-understanding-of-shomer-negia?view=all#post-479701
Torah613TorahParticipantmy parents and i have never really had a relationship… i feel really awkward hugging them or even saying how i love them. i know it sounds awful, but i cant help it!
It’s great that you’re working on the relationship, and it’s great that you realize that this isn’t a healthy way to relate with your parents. Therapy will be very helpful for you.
I imagine you do not want a repeat of these dynamics with your spouse and children. You may want to start therapy before this impacts your other relationships in ways you cannot see until much later.
Torah613TorahParticipantI don’t believe it. A teacher cannot have unconditional love for a student that they teach for a year or two.
Can a parent have unconditional love for a child they raise for a year or two?
Torah613TorahParticipantYou mean that every buyer has to bring another buyer?
This is discussed indirectly in my thread: Bread Theory of the Shidduch Crisis: http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/bread-theory-of-the-shidduch-crisis
The problem is that there will still be some buyers or some bread left over, so it doesn’t fix the imbalance. It just makes it look more orderly.
August 12, 2013 4:35 pm at 4:35 pm in reply to: What can Yeshivos and girls' schools do to prevent students' OTD feelings? #972736Torah613TorahParticipantWhat can boys Yeshivahs and girls schools do to prevent OTD feelings, thoughts and plans, where the seeds often grow?
Teach social skills and make sure everyone has friends.
People who feel appreciated and an important part of a community are unlikely to go OTD while in school.
August 12, 2013 4:29 pm at 4:29 pm in reply to: What to do for dinner when your wife is upstate in the Catskills #970341Torah613TorahParticipantGrill cheese
Cheerios and milk
barbeque
Torah613TorahParticipantI don’t find twittering very musical. Chirping is better. Birdsong with piano accompaniment is best.
Torah613TorahParticipantThere is a great book called “9 to 5” that discusses halachos in the workplace, and has a good overview of potential yichud problems, as well as preventive advice.
August 9, 2013 9:00 pm at 9:00 pm in reply to: Why Can't Women Get Modern Smicha and Become Rabbis? #1071616Torah613TorahParticipantPopa +1
Torah613TorahParticipantI think if you consider shabbos robes to be nightgowns, wouldn’t most wedding gowns be considered untzinius too?
I know of someone who was very particular about tznius and she specifically wore a fancier suit due to the gowns being too fitted by nature of most gowns!!
Wedding dresses aren’t tznius either! They’re all fitted.
To add to what you’re saying, a wedding dress is like a wedding gown is like a shabbos robe etc and untznius.
And congratulations to that lady who wore a suit, I hope she has 7 sons who are all kohanim gedolim, or at least gedolim. But you can have a tight fitted suit too. Which is like a tight fitted Shabbos robe. Etc. Which is tznius, because it’s a suit?
August 9, 2013 8:21 pm at 8:21 pm in reply to: Please advise me re: how to handle power struggles #970615Torah613TorahParticipantGet a lawyer and ask the mods to delete this thread.
Torah613TorahParticipantFound this inspiring. I think today is his Yartzeit so I figured I’d share
Does it increase understanding?
And what exactly is the difference between a pure Tzadik and an impure Tzadik?
Torah613TorahParticipantNo, ask me.
You are not allowed. You must pay maaser and then pay the ticket. Don’t do it again.
Torah613TorahParticipantYou can work on anger management and patience at the same time. Two for the price of one!
Torah613TorahParticipantYou’re so frum, YWN is too secular for you.
Torah613TorahParticipantDunno gets what Im saying I know marriage is not a pancea to all problems just would solve a lot in my life now
What problems would it solve, for example?
Torah613TorahParticipantThere are Europe tours for frum girls, especially if you want to visit Holocaust memorials.
Torah613TorahParticipantGit Meshige: Okay, anything composed by Rabbi Yom Tov Erlich and sung by Avraham Fried.
Torah613TorahParticipantAs far as it takes.
Torah613TorahParticipantI think you should bring a minyan to your work so you can daven with a minyan during your bored moments.
Or a baby. Babies keep you busy.
Or an ant farm. They are fun to watch during bored moments.
Torah613TorahParticipantThe only problem marriage solves is that of not being married.
Torah613TorahParticipantLuach.com?
Torah613TorahParticipantIs your friend male or female?
I know several girls who went into pharmacy. Like most professions, the field is pretty full, unless you are willing to move out of town.
Torah613TorahParticipantIs your internet connection provided by your workplace?
Torah613TorahParticipantI vaguely associate such a song with Country Yossi.
Torah613TorahParticipantlol popa
Unique Boutique is also excellent for this.
There is more black type stuff in Mrs. K, which has a more chassidish/very yeshivish clientele, than Unique Boutique, which has more yeshivish/flatbush clientele. But when it comes to fancy dresses they are pretty much equal.
Torah613TorahParticipantMrs K. 4501 New Utrecht Ave Brooklyn, NY 11219-2441 718-436-7075
Very classy and tznius and definitely in your price range.
Mazal tov!
Torah613TorahParticipantI wonder if some of the posters in the CR are sheidim.
We would never know.
Torah613TorahParticipantVeltz:
I see. So the question in this thread is: How pretty does a Sephardic girl have to be, to make up for having an average IQ 10 points less?
lol
Torah613TorahParticipantTorah: He’s not racist per se. He just hates the Syrians because they don’t like Geirim. Then again, he also equates Apikorsim with real Rabbonim so I don’t know why he’s worth commenting on. Or why he’s even allowed on this site.
Makes sense.
Ender: Let’s see if those differences still exist after several generations with access to plumbing, nutrition, and education.
Chassidim don’t win Nobel prizes, despite being Ashkenazim; it’s all nonreligious former Litvaks/yekkes/yeshivish. Let’s do studies and show that Litvak/Yeshivish/yekkish intelligence is higher than Chassidish intelligence. (Hint: Due to cultural boundary setting in the Chassidish community, the kids will probably do more poorly on IQ tests than yeshivish kids.)
Torah613TorahParticipantDoes your sister want her brothers making a skit by sheva brachos?
Torah613TorahParticipantI agree that bike riding should be banned.
Torah613TorahParticipantRebdoniel is racist. He probably thinks blacks have a lower IQ than whites.
I know plenty of Sephardic girls and Ashkenazic girls in an educational setting. I have not noticed any intellectual differences.
Plus, I myself have Sephardic blood. So there.
How important is it to be smart? Would you prefer to be or marry someone smart, or someone good looking, or aidel?
Yes.
For example, how long a nose, or bald a head, or droopy a belly would you be willing to concede to in exchange for 10 IQ points?
No.
Torah613TorahParticipantAgree with Popa. And Gamanit.
Torah613TorahParticipantFor the same reason we call people redheads even though they are merely orange.
Torah613TorahParticipantWhat is this thread referring to?
Torah613TorahParticipant???, ?????. ?????? ??? ?????? ?”? ??? ??????. ???? ????? ???? ??? ????? ?”? ???? ????? ???? ??? ???. ???? ?? ??? ??? ???? ????? ???? ???? ???.
?? ?? ???? ???? ????
Torah613TorahParticipantI’m curious: Shopping, do you have difficulty spelling in general, or just online?
Or is it just in Hebrew?
Torah613TorahParticipantWIY: Nonsense is the best kind of sense.
Torah613TorahParticipantsqueak: I’m against the equality goal. That was the first reason I’m happy it’s a boy.
July 29, 2013 1:51 am at 1:51 am in reply to: What do YOU think is the most important part of a song and why? #969149Torah613TorahParticipantWhy? Because that’s what I like about songs, in order.
Torah613TorahParticipantWhat if it’s the fattest wife? Obviously she always makes good food.
Torah613TorahParticipantIs “middle” a point or merely the space between two ends?
Torah613TorahParticipantBeautiful.
July 28, 2013 3:16 am at 3:16 am in reply to: What do YOU think is the most important part of a song and why? #969136Torah613TorahParticipantWords, words matching melody, melody.
Torah613TorahParticipantOr pink elephants.
Torah613TorahParticipantMaybe it is common, and maybe it isn’t, but it doesn’t matter. Hashem loves people even if they don’t have a Rav, so I do too.
For their own sake, they should get one. It’s a mitzva d’Oraysa to attach yourself to a Rav. Plus it is nice to have a community.
But maybe we will try to avoid denigrating such people from our comfortable chairs behind our laptop screens, because they are Jews, just like us, living in Israel, and trying to do the right thing, and we do not know their stories.
