I agree. They should be tortured (for the sake of squeezing every ounce of information out of them i.e. who sent them, what is the area of the next planned attack, et.c) (of course it doesn’t hurt that they’ll suffer pain they never imagined possible during the interrogation). Then they should hang their beaten, bloodied, and mangled bodies for the world to see.
I have plenty of tolerance for everyone (except murderers and rapists). You asked for our thoughts on the comment made at the board meeting so I gave you my thoughts. Just because I think you had a moment of naivete, or that many people on these schoold boards are phony, doesn’t mean that I don’t tolerate you or them.
wellmeaning:
How naive (or just plain stupid) of you to think that “all the board members have a pretty good idea of of their neighbors’ lifestyle”!
NOBODY (but G-d) knows these things. Shame on you!
wellmeaning busybody:
I said “over HALF of the members of these so called ‘boards’ are….” I never said anything about YOUR HOLY SON being part of that percentage. I don’t know who your son is (and nor do I care to) so I can’t have an opinion about him. I will say however that the fact that “the board members are ADORED and WORSHIPPED” says the whole story.
My thought in general is that at least half the people on these so called “boards” are phony, insincere “machers” who don’t give a ____ about anyone but their own family members. They should all take a deep look inside and realize that every decision they vote on has an impact on children whose futures are literally in their hands.
Learn to tolerate, you’ll live longer (probably).
On the brakfast topic, anybody else in Lakewood notice that the main frum supermarket raised the price of the Givat Yogolite small yogurts from .59 to .69? Also Lebens were raised from .89 to .99.

Yeah, the yogurt (vanilla) and fruit are great in a smoothie but you still want to get some grains.
I am no health geek. I love junk food. However, I do want to be healthy and maintain my healthy weight. As such, I strive to get enough sleep (7 hours) and eat a balanced breakfast. This keeps me full until lunch and since it is 3 seperate items you can spread it out through the morning if you wish. Here it is:
Lowfat yogurt, 1 serving fresh fruit (medium banana / apple / orange / grapefruit / grapes – you get the idea), and 1 serving of a healthy cereal (preferably w/ some whole grains and some dietary fiber). I eat the cereal dry since I also have the yogurt but I guess you can have it w/ some skim milk.

I see, then you certainly did the right thing. Good for you. Every nisayon that you pass makes you stronger.
I stand corrected. I understood it that you had no interest in them whatsoever.
Zeeskite:
It does not sound like this was a yetzer harah issue for her. She was mortified, disappointed, and shocked at the behavior of the boys. This was not a moment of desire for her. She knew unequivocally that this behavior was unbecoming of frum boys and/or girls. Therefore she could have responded with some words of mussar without contradicting the concept you put forth. Of course if this was an issue that she herself struggles with, then ignoring the boys would have been a major victory over her yetzer harah. But this clearly was not the case. (Again I’m not saying she was wrong – I’m saying that had she responded with some sincere words of mussar, she perhaps would not have been wrong either.)
I actually think you could have said something along the lines of “This is inappropriate, and you should be ashamed of yourselves. Go do something productive with your lives”. I disagree with “Oomis” and “Zeeskeit” who say that your non-response was in effect a response because these immature and at-risk boys don’t necassarily see it that way. In their minds you were maybe just a little timid for this. All it takes is the next girl who maybe is starving for attention and then we all know where that road leads to. So although there are some valid reasons for not responding, I believe there are some valid responses as well. Either way, you “Observanteen” should not beat yourself up over this. All you can do know is read through these posts and think for yourself how you would like to react next time should something like this ever happen again. That’s what life is all about. We train ourselves to react appropriately to different situations by reflecting on our own values and experiences and working on improving ourselves. If you continuously review and refine your values and principals, eventually reacting properly to all situations in life becomes second nature and after 120 years you can return your soul to the Creator as perfect and pristine as humanly possible.
