I personally know of cases (I can’t give details because they’re not well known and the involved parties want it kept quiet) of supposed abuse that there was NO ONE pressing charges and the victim was still detained for a long time because they claimed people were covering up. They put on crazy pressure on thus person to plead, even though they both knew he was innocent, because they didn’t want to admit they kidnapped a person on NOTHING! The media loves these stories because they hate us. The average tabloid is toilet paper anyways.
Rema: i completely missed that. (Aren’t democrats donkeys, if that’s what you’re referring?)
Letakein and shopping: that sounds right. Do you know any details about it (singers cd ect)? In any case thanks a ton, I should be able to find it now. Its one of my favorite tunes, but i couldn’t find the song.
I reposted my response from the other thread.
You can get her a nice bottle of bourbon. “You give me wings to fly”, can be your caption. On the flower theme, how about three bottles of Four Roses? You’ll give her a dozen roses!
Does anyone know of a song that the high part is something like;
“Together,
Forever,
Together we stood by har Sinai as one,
Together,
Forever,
Naaseh venishmah amru k’echad”.
I’m not even sure if those are the exact words. I’ve been looking for that song forever. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I don’t get some of the responses. If you want to experience the mind altering effects of alcohol its not l’shem mitzvah? The mitzvah is to experience those effects. At this point I would like to announce that I ate a cheeseburger last night. I stand by it and am proud of it. I knew I would not be able to be omeid benisayon, so I did it. It seems that it has become popular to announce different things done against halacha in the CR. If you can’t drink on Purim don’t; but why are you proud that you couldn’t do a mitzvah?
If you vomit on the floor you didn’t drink lshem shamayim?!? In general,i think the way bnei Torah act when they were drunk is a kiddush hashem. The best way to tell what a person its really about is when he’s drunk. (Bkeeso, b’koso, ub’kaaso.) I usually like what I see.
Rema711:And physically? I am one of those stereotypical Brooklyners that can’t imagine that anyone comes from anywhere but Brooklyn or lakewood. Widen my horizons, please. Btw why don’t you post the recipe for gingerbread hamantashen letovas harabbim?
Isn’t formaldehyde the embalming chemical they use in non iron shirts? I guess I’m getting a double dosage.
Correct. The plural of moose is fish. (That was very deep.)
Because they are desperate to say that G-d’s Chosen People are no better than the rest. It is just like Jews always being held to a higher standard, but it is worse, because they are blowing out of proportion an issue which is relatively uncommon in the frum world. I’m not chirping my head in the sand, but everyone agrees that it is less prevalent by us than by them. They ate trying to say that we’re really no better, we just cover up. Those has been going back thousands of years.
I’m enjoying the cerebral acrobatics. By us, we have an old yesod, if you say something to insult someone and he’s not insulted, its not an insult. By the same token, if you say it to insult him and he is insulted, it is an insult, whether it is an insult or not. If his being insulted is based on it being an insult, he should never be insulted, being a its not an insult until he is insulted. Accordingly, being as there is such a thing as an insult, which would be impossible if it would be dependent on the insult being an insult, we are forced to say that you can be insulted irrespective of whether or not its an insult. Therefore, it is an insult. Anyone following?
I’m talking about shabbos hats. This is an old shaalah, do you get a new hat when you need a new weekday hat or a new shabbos hat?
Showjoe: what did you say to either of us? I don’t see that you posted on this before.
As far as actual damage is concerned, its very probable that humiliation and emotional abuse is much worse than corporal punishment; as far as the chances of some self righteous animal that is convinced that the entire frum world is abusive and we’re all covering up for each other deciding to ruin your life, its more likely with physical treatment. Don’t stake your hopes on the justice department, they are some of the sickest people you can imagine. Just like politicians with billions to spend lose sight of the value of peoples hard earned money in the face of their personal agendas, these people who are handed the reigns to a persons fate lose sight of the value of human life. As the minchas chinuch says, an executioner has the same value for life as a murderer, because he becomes desensitized, whether they are innocent or guilty.
Oy yoy yoy. You have my deepest sympathies, rema711. Btw how many non-boys were in tooter class?
I have heard that shtreimalach don’t come out more expensive than hats; because over 40 years, they both cost the same $2500. (1×2500=/<15×180). Any chassidim on the CR that can verify or disclaim this? I don’t know the going rate for either, or how long hats and shtreimlach last the average consumer.
Not a chance the moderators will let that. You’re from Brooklyn?
I know, if the plural of goose is geese; the plural of moose should be meese. Ah, the secrets of the English language.
Moose, I think. Same thing as deer. And I can tell you why New Hampshire isn’t well known for its moose; cause there are none! I was there. I looked. I can tell you.
Who says? There is a dearth of research into them. The guy from the store told me there is the stuff they use in fog machines, nicotine, and flavoring in the liquid. It seems to be agreed upon that they’re healthier than cigarettes, bad as they may be.
Rema711: you’re gonna have to send me some.
If restarting your computer works that seems like the fastest eitzah.
This thread is so yeshivish out was kedai to open the coffee room for it. A gantze soap opera! 🙂
Randomex: I’m glad someone caught that, but its gonna be hard to explain. What does Kotzk have to do with it?
I’m happy I’m not a Gadol who had to make decisions about such things.
I was once in New Hampshire, land of the moose. I didn’t see a single moose, but I did go to an arcade where they had a Whack-a-Moose. That’s what your guacummus reminded me of.
If it has avocado its no longer hummus. I don’t care how great it is. Now that we got the definition clear, it actually sounds pretty good. We’re gonna have to come up with a new name for it, though. Any suggestions?
If you NEED a Borsalino you’re not a real Ben Torah.
We should start a post about e-cigs, actually. For me its great, but i hear the boys schools are having big problems with it. I don’t understand the taavah for a non smoker, but i hear its a serious issue. I don’t know how bad it is, but it can’t be as bad as smoking.
No! I saw on Yeshiva world that they’re unhealthy! I actually got one from a place in flatbush (nicdrops, ave m and east 13th), and i haven’t had a cigarette in close to six weeks! 🙂 The morning coffee just isn’t the same, though.
The president once asked one of his Jewish advisers how the Jews knoweverything that’s going on. The Jew said “Come to the mikvah Friday afternoon and you’ll see for yourself”. On Friday afternoon, the president dressed up likeayid with full regalia. He asked the first Jew there “So nu, what’s the news?”. The guy answered, “Didn’t you hear? The president is coming to the mikvah!”
Rema711: that is correct it is a terrible habit. However if one is unfortunately smoking anyways, it should be done with a coffee. Kids, don’t try this at home. Seriously speaking, I don’t know a single smoker who didn’t have charatah that they started, whether they managed to quit or not. If there is anyone reading this that may ever think of picking up a cigarette, do the smart thing. I promise you’ll be happier.
Don’t worry, it was a short lived experiment. It very quickly changed to fleishig cholent and creamer. But pareve cholent isn’t SO bad if its made right.
I do apologize. I realized that after rereading your post, right after i posted. I’m sorry. I think homemade hummus is cheaper also, but the cost difference is much less significant, and is arguably not kedai.
Gingerbread hamantashen? What’s next, macaroons on Pesach?
I am speaking due to my experience with a Trionfo, and a Brandolino with the red inside. My opinion is generally unpopular, most people i know like Borsalino better. The price difference is insignificant.
You can get her a nice bottle of bourbon. “You give me wings to fly”, can be your caption. On the flower theme, how about three bottles of Four Roses? You’ll give her a dozen roses!
Rema711: gingerbread hamantashen?!?
You can’t eat cholent on tisha b’av either. And from that diyuk i can tell you never properly enjoyed a cigarette with your cholent. Do they even smoke in BT yeshivos?
Cozimjewish: =D
If cholent is a mixture of beans potatoes barley and meat, and has to much potatoes and too little meat; you wouldn’t say there’s only 25% cholent, you would day there’s cholent with to little meat. I don’t think its loses the name hummus if there’s too much tahina.
