the dog may be man’s greatest civilizing influence.
there are some anthropologists who have no seichel and like to say amazing things that are illogical, and make ridiculous inferences
yes of course
i just was careful so no one would jump on the analogy and discredit it because of an unrelated problem.
i made the same point here
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/kosher-lamp?view=all#post-184744
however i was careful to mention CLOSING the window shade.
OPENING the window shade is actually a shaila in some circumstances, if you open it deliberately to shine on your plants to make them grow.
i heard the tape a long time ago
i think the name was something like Rabbi Feur
if this isnt right maybe it will jog your memeory
My guess is that you really don’t like it when someone makes blanket statements about another’s eternity (which is essentially trampling on Hashem’s domain), and are using a very deadpan satire to bring it to the forefront.
clearly this is the case, as i have said a few times before, but you said it better
wolf will not admit this however
im guessing anarchism was meant
i forgot to add:
i apologize to charliehall
he was absolutely correct
brisker
yes
i just object to the connotations associated with the word “loophole”
apashutayid
my point exactly
wolf thank you for saying it might have been a typo (when you figured it probably wasnt) very kind and erlich of you.
it wasnt a typo, i was completely wrong
i wasnt thinking
thank you
real-brisker im sorry i dont understand what you are asking or saying.
but whatever it is im tired of the word loophole already and have said enough about it
okay just this: “loophole” has an unpleasant connotation of essential dishonesty and disrespect for the law (without technically breaking it) this was applied by the poster to an application of Halacha and i objected to such a word being used in that regard.

i think thats just about exactly what i said. the “intent may be evaded”
the kosher lamp is not the evasion of the law forbidding the turning on and off of a light. it simply has nothing to do with turning a light on and off. it is blocking a light. there is nothing assur about closing your window shade. closing your window shade is not a “loophole”
blocking a lamp light is not a loophole either.
there is no intent to get away with performing an assured act because the Rabbaim forgot to state something in the law. that would be a loophole
exactly eruv is not a “loophole” but it was an enactment of the Rabbaim to allow carrying which an forbidden m’ doraisa.
t
it is a jab.
a loophole is a way found, to defy a law, that was not intended and is not in the spirit of the law
the kosher lamp is simply a clever way of applying Halacha
do you use a blech?

does your question have something to do with going to college?
im not sure what you are referring to. he was extremely pro-kollel.
he also said it may not be for everyone.
sometimes threads degrade into primarily an acrimonious venue of exchanging personal insults
you asked me a question
i answered you
if you want further elucidation, think about it

i would guess they were talking about goats and chickens and the like, animals that worked or were eaten i dont think anyone had “pets” living in their house in those days. maybe a cat to keep away mice.
Rabbi Miller, tz’l speaks very disparagingly about college. he holds professors are lower than the mafia. he says colleges are the greatest source of the immorality that is currently infecting the western world.
although he is careful to not paskin Halachah in his thurs night shmoozes, he said it is absolutely assur for a girl to go to college. as for boys he STRONGLY discourages it but if there is a need in certain circumstances, he wouldnt say it is mutar but he said each boy should ask his Rosh Yeshiva
he went to college a LONG time ago. the vast knowledge of the world exemplified in his books has little to do with that time spent in college.
he says the history taught in schools is pure sheker.
yes there are definitely cases where it is a good idea to have a pet.
it is not assur
fish? no comparison to the problems caused by a cat or dog.
i think i had some duplicates there
just kind of thinking out loud
a few that come to mind
anthropomorphizing an animal, treating it like a person
treating it like a member of the family
being fooled and showering Love upon it
making decisions such as how to utilize your precious time, taking the animal into consideration
dealing with the Halachic pitfalls
giving the animal your food, buying its food, spending money on it, sometimes a great amount for health issues, when perhaps it should go to a Jew instead.
spending time caring for it
it is not assur to have a pet
doing so however is fraught with practical Halachic and Hashgufic problems
i dont know anyone who has a pet or would consider having one, its not even a remote consideration.
but for others, who are presently holding somewhere else, it certainly is not assur, but should not be entered into lightly.
yes

i do believe that in the case of aveilus there are many True Talmidai Chochomim, not scholars, who hold like that, or at least rely upon in if there is a reason.
op=original poster
im very close to being certain that you do not have to leave the store for recorded kol isha, even an aval. if there was live singing, im not sure
we all know ask your LOR. everyone knows this
nevertheless Halachic questions and discussions are very appropriate here.
by the way i have no idea, indeed it is impossible to have an informed opinion on the matter, whether or not there is global warming, and if there is, its cause.
maybe there is global warming.
maybe there is global cooling.
you got me
besides the fact that the interplay of all the contributing factors to sea level is complex and they have no idea other than pure guesswork as to prominent cause 11 thousand years ago, even the very fact of determining the world wide sea level 11 thousand years ago is not an established fact, in fact it cant be, any physical measurement 11, 000 years ago can only be based on theoretical assumptions and tremendously lengthy extrapolations
of course if one is bamboozled by the authority of scientism even on the deep theory end of the scientific continuum, you can come to believe anything
even that the gases and metals and rocks and water on the earth (which itself, along with the rest of the universe came into being by the explosion of something smaller than a poppy seed)
these atoms and molecules picked themselves up by their bootstraps and became you.
There is NO question that the earth has warmed over the past 130 years. That is the period over which we have decent temperature series worldwide
so what?
it has cooled down over the last 5 minutes, is that an indication of a the trend for the last 130 years?
there is approaching ZERO significance to a warming trend of 130 years in relation to the pattern over 5 billion years.
sometimes the “cause” for a failed marriage is the male partner, sometimes its the female partner, probably in most cases it is both, sometimes the problems can be worked out, sometimes they cant. sometimes the wife exaggerates or lies about the husbands behavior, sometimes the husband does, generally they both have some hand in this. weve heard people from both “sides” generalizing all cases from their case.
the original poster received her answer and seemed satisfied with it. this thread is offending a number of people.
It is the long term trend that is clear
the long term trend!!?
according to science the earth has had up and down temperature trends and trends within the trends and sub sub trends, etc for 5.000.000.000 years. we have meaningful records of a few hundred of those years at best
picture a graph of the temperatures during this time stretching from chicago to new york. it would take you a few months to walk along cursorily examining the data as you walk along the graph.
THAT would give you some insight into the significance of the trend in the last 50 years or so.
unfortunately we are only able to see the last inch of the graph.
the rest of the graph is “supposed” by unproven theory, speculation, and wild extrapolation which may or may not be valid
i appreciate that. im glad that i give such an appearance
your question is not simple
requires at least a familiarity with learning Gemorrah
but those that hold it is stealing it is because the party losing did not expect to lose and does not willingly give up his money to the other
you will certainly say, of course he knew he might lose and of course he gives up the money willingly, he gives it up doesnt he, he doesnt protest or put up a fight. i cant explain it further but theres your answer, ask a Talmid Chochum to explain it better.
i dont know derech
in the last 24 hours i see 15 posts of yours that were approved, none marked edited, and one deleted. im not sure why it was deleted, someone elses call.

speaking of ad nauseum i think we get your point bombmaniac. this same point about repetitious threads has been made MANY times before and you are committing the very crime you are accusing others of.
there are constantly new posters here who dont search through every thread to see if it has been discussed before
no one doubts global warming
quite far from the truth. especially among those that hold that the earth is 5,000,000,000 years old, a few hundred years of temperature recording, maybe 50 of widespread and accurate recording, and some gigantic extrapolation from earth cores leaves plenty of room for reasonable doubt.
and THEN among those that accept it there is controversy as to the cause.
but you wont see this in the established media.
as we all know: “appearances can be deceiving” 😉
chayav:
is that a request, or are you daring me?
just kidding
ask mod questions in the mods thread please, but
generally in the single digits
and please stop posting your deodorant post over and over
sister i have a strong suspicion you heard wrong
but i think you speeled it right
clemens stole that piece from me
sacrilege
i didnt say or imply that it does.
his son is also a famous actor. i meant to point out that even though kirk douglas is Jewish, michael douglas is not
1dayatatime Because as Torah Jews we need to set for ourselves a higher standard of morals.And, disscusing movies and the likes is anything but that.
you are right
kirk douglas
his son is not Jewish
why is it not ok?
not very appropriate though.
