“is corporate influence on the vox populi as it were”
i’m trying to understand so don’t be offended. when you say corporate influence, are you referring to companies who donate big bucks to a presidential campaign and then get favors from the gov? (didnt the VP or s/o have a green energy co. go bankrupt recently?)
while free commerce seems like a good idea, certain categories SHOULD be monitored. one, FDA. drugs need to be monitored continuously as new side effects only become known once the drug is in the general population. two, the USDA. no brainer meat that has found to have been contaminated should be recalled. those are 2 off the top of my head. they might not be perfect but imagine if no one found the increased risk of MI associated with Vioxx?
what do they think of cains 9 9 9 plan? is that one still the best plan out there or did he lose support b/c of the allegations against him?
sorry if i’m asking too many questions. this whole OWS is fascinating. wonder where its going to lead. how are the other occupy movements doing?
so basically, they want complete laissez-faire with NO govt control as well as big name corps can not contribute to gov affairs and funds?
i dont follow politics much but ron paul is not a name i have heard a whole lot as apposed to gingrich, romney, cain etc. is paul tea party? even thought the media is misconstruing the thoe whole OWS matzev, thats the only side majority of the ppl are hearing and seeing. one point i have to add, a teacher mentioned they use the terms 1% and 99%. she pointed out that its much easier to classifier one self into this rather than upper lower class, lower middle class, middle working class etc. in this way, e/o knows which part they belong to.
while you were there, what was the average age and level of ed? the media says they are all college aged students. this true? and what is there stand on obama and his policies? even though i may not really care about their movement, i’m still interested in it. that make sense?
soliek, i kinda have 1 opinion on OWS. as long as they dont mess up public transportation in NJ and NY, i could not care less what they do. seriously. IMHO until they get their act together and say what they want and not a mess of ppl in a park and formally announce how they plan to change the financial market, all they are is a group of ppl living in a park making a whole lotta noise.
I’ve always talked in my sleep. in camp bunk mates would tell me in the morning all the conversations i had while i was asleep. they never made sense but they thought it was funny i could have a back and forth conversation while sleep talking. now i would be scared to share a room with ANYONE cuz i’m scared of what i would say. there’s lots of stuff in nursing school that should NEVER be repeated elsewhere.
don’t make assumptions. cuz thats not all girls. I for one knew before i went to sem that i wanted to go into nursing. so u sure ALL girls don’t have plans?
there are days i start davening at 6:05 AM when i get on the train to school.
the most annoying thing about being found out is the lack of anonymity. and it doesn’t help matters that my pharm classmate blabbed my SN to her carpool. but i got over it and started posting again after taking a bit of a hiatus from posting and just ‘lurked’ in the shadows. it is good to be back but i am doing it more on the conservative side, just to be safe.
Health: i was actually found out because of a thread i started labeled “pharm”. one of my class mates recognized my style and txted me “are you so and so on the CR?”. the second time was actually from a different comment that i made on a thread about young couples getting divorced. a HS classmate went to a mutual friend of ours and asked her does this person sound like s/o in our class? and my friend (being the good friend that she is) asked me for conformation before spreading rumors. i don’t think the info was so specific to me and so identifying but i guess it was. even months later i can’t figure out how it gave me away. any ideas?
just FYI, not all stalkers are posters. there are CR readers who do just that-they read without posting. and they know as much info as posters do. please be careful with what you post. its is possible to be found out and busted by one of these silent readers. I know because it happened to me not once but two times in about the span of a couple of days because of a comment i made. i learned my lesson the hard way. i wish we had the CR shomrim before this. THANX jothar for this public service.
adorable: i think i know the girl you mentioned-a class mate of mine. you think you are shocked? when i found out, i was almost crying! i danced at her chassunah and 5 months later, THIS? and dont think she got divorced cuz its unfortunately the “in” thing to do these days. she was not one to follow the crowd. IY”H, everything will work out for her, and all the other young divorcees. H’ yaazor
PBA, according to the DSM-IV, TR the manual to diagnose mental disorders, they are called “eating disorders”. thats the name given to the group regardless if it is mental or physical problem. look at it this way: its a mental disorder that can have severe physical ramifications
PBA: to qoute my teacher “everything that H’ does is the absolute very best thing that can possibly happen due to the circumstance he put himself in by his own free choice” from this, it seems to be that H’ does what is best for us, based on the choices that we make with b’chira. does that shtim with your idea?
i just had it last week! i got a txt “are you yentingyenta in the CR????” AND a 2nd person figured it out but she’s a CR poster so dont know who she is, but she knows me. oh well…..
pac-man: or lack there of 🙂 have you ever seen a pontiac aztec? that has got to be the ugliest SUV EVER
A mamin: a smart phone can do more than just make phone calls and receive/send texts. It can send emails, open/read word docs, access the Internet and can also play music and lots more. Smart phones now also have add on programs called apps that range from games to clocks to references to siddurim and tehillim! Some ppl call them a gift an some ppl call them a curse because you are never unreachable so it depends for each person
its a smart phone that works best for the younger crowd.
(my dad tried to use it but lasted less than 24 hours b4 going back to a BB and another dude i know says BB is WAY betteer) the droid is geared more to the tweens, teens, and teen-wanna-be’s
bli ayin hara, verizon has phenomenal service, in NYC (where i go to school) in NJ (where i live) and the mountains (where i wish i was for the summer). the one time i can remember losing service, besides the subway and the few spots in the mountains was on a train ride home a few months ago. the service was fading in and out for like 20 min but when the train pulled into my town, i got full reception. was a weird fluke and hasnt happened since then.
i got this phone cuz my old one broke and this was the most normal free upgrade. its a great phone.
Tischadshi!
My phone is celebratIngs it’s first birthday this week BE”H. As I said it’s survives drops well cuz I have a case on it. The battery lasts a few days on if I just use it for texting an not vibrate. Talk time I can get 4 hours or more. Blue tooth uses more battery. I would suggest getting a screen cover cuz it has a large screen. If you have anymore questions I would be glad to help. Hatzlacha phone shopping
R-B, are you saying women should teach women, and men teach men the aspects of tznius that are nogeah to them? its not very clear.
Ilovetheholyland: i hear where ppl are coming from but they think you wont appreciate a learning boy because you dont have a choice? such hypocrasy. “they” say girls are too picky but when they arent picky, then you are looked down upon?
i guess its right up there with all the silly and ridiculous questions that ppl come up with. like what type of shoes does the boy wear, do they stack their plates, and so one and so forth
Rednails: yes, this is a SINGLES support group. thank you for the reminder to all the NON singles who have decided to join
PBA i missed your logic.
and since when is asking your marital status “personal”? asking someone how many centemeters they are dilated is personal. i can’t lean over the computer screen to see if you are wearing a wedding band.
oooooppppppsssssss. mods, can you fix my previous post? its all italicized. Thanx in advance
PBA where did you see singles trying to get out of mitzvos? all i saw was a list of things men can’t do when they are single, not that they are trying to get out of the mitzvos
PBA, are you single?
Ilovetheholyland: i’m not quite sure what your asking as an oxymoron but there are men who balance their working and learning schedule. the problem is they are all married. out there somewhere<em/> these guys have “younger brother” (thats the only way i can think to say it).
and why would it be a “waste” for you to marry a learning boy if you dont have a preference? if any thing, its NOT a waste because you have a choice betweent the two, and you can ultimately choose the one that works for you. 12th grade and seminary were real eye openers for me in that i realized, i dont have the mentality (or family support both financially, or emotionally) to marry a working boy.
and as one of the previous posters said (might of been yossi, not sure) some one has to be the zevulan to the yissasschar. BE”H we will all find our zivugim, and may we not fall discouraged from all the negativity that sorrounds us because of our choices.
PS. thank you goq for opening this thread
yossi: wow. i didnt know that working boys also had it hard.
(you dont by any chance have some friends looking for a working girl? LOL)
MP: my crowd of friends aren’t the ones who i feel is looking down. they support me even though they are looking for learning boys. its the ppl (ie family friends) who ask “sooooooo what type of boy are you looking for?” and when i say i’m looking for working, they say OH. B”H my parents support me that i want a working boy. its just really hard to find one thats also a mensch (responsible, reliable, has good middos and shomer torah u’mitzvos)
Happy: beautiful poem. thank you.
i’ll be the “first” one.
when i say i’m looking for a working boy, i feel like ppl are looking down at me for that. i went to a frum BY, a good sem (cleveland, both of which tried to convince me you HAVE to have a learning boy and now i’m in nursing school. so i dont want a kollel boy. why do ppl think that a working boy is “worse” than a learning boy?
and the ones who dont look down wish me luck in finding a “normal” working boy!!!! will the single guys PLEASE tell me why it is so hard to find a working boy with a degree who knows the derech he wants to go in life?
uuuuhhhhhh sticky…… did google mix up the definition of pentheraphobia and a panic attack?????
PBISN does not have any more test dates for this year, dunno about touro though.
try NLNonlinetesting.org/pax to find a test center near you
(i hope the mods let this through. its the website for the NLN tests)
to the mod who thinks naming people joseph is Ok, i have a proposal. you can name me “joseph” on the condition you remove real-brisker’s and ZK’s subtitle.
anyone with any brains can check my profile and posts and see for a fact that i am not joseph.
i am doing this cuz ZK and R-B are insulted and i really could not care less what my subtitle is.
hope this stops your (the mod) craving for “exposing” all the joe’s in the CR
verizon, and i have the pantech jest. (survives drops very well)
why you asking?
MG- i found it very peculiar just because my father changed from knitted to velvet when i was in seminary. and at the same time his navy suit became DARK navy (more like black)and his black hat got a larger brim. thats why i was asking
i have classmates in college who got married in the middle of the year/middle of the program and they keep their maiden name for simplicity’s sake. my cousin also did it so her records don’t get lost between schools.
what was your impetus to change? on a larger scale, why does anyone change they type of yarmulkes? my dad went from smallish leather to larger knit and last year he changed to normal velvet. do guys change to fit in with the crowd?????
i was trying to be dan l’kaf zechus
as for the ridiculous stuff, what are they sending? a blowdryer to a boys camp? if the parent sent it (or the kid packed it) they obviously had a reason.
and if the camp knows, why haven’t they done anything? the camp i went to could be seen building new cubbies at the beginning of trips if they needed more storage
maybe the camp doesnt know there is a lack of storage space
and look from the parents point of view. if they are going for the nine days, you need that much clothing and you can’t get around it.
on the other hand, its sometimes the kids who need 28 different outfits for camp (more in girls camps)
(yes. i speak from experience-i went to camp too and had to deal with no space)
and neither is there any room in the girl’s camp.
are you asking how to help the campers or are you asking cuz you need more space?
do what the girls do: bring up a set of plastic drawers
according to my Mom, any one younger than herself is called a girl 🙂
personally, ALL men are called GUYS married or single. with the girls/ladies/women i get stuck cuz what do u call a 20 year old female whos married?
i had that problem once. one of my male classmates (goyish) got my email when we were in the same group for a project. about 3 months after the class ended i started getting emails from him with links to different websites. instead of answering back please don’t send me emails, i just set up a filter on my Gmail that sends them straight to the trash. B”H i haven’t received one email since. then again, i don’t empty my trash box either.
Thanx for the warning guys! i have 2 weddings next week and i’ll try not to make you trip and fall…..
