    i responded with:

    “big difference what you call it. orientation implies (to most people) acceptability, an equally valid alternative placed alongside normal “orientation”

    sorry about the thread “

    in reply to: is there some way we can get along? #698425

    SJ responed with:

    “Wrong thread Mod.

    OK so call it taivah instead of orientation. “

    in reply to: is there some way we can get along? #698424

    his “orientation”?!

    no such Torah concept

    a purely fictional invention of modern secular society as a sly pseudo-scientific manner to condone BEHAVIOR that is an abomination before Hashem and calls for the worst kind of death.

    do some have this taivah more than others. absolutely. Hashem created different strengths of taivahs and middos and tachunas in everyone. should people behelped to resist this taivah? absolutely

    but to live such a life is an ABOMINATION, HATED, and DESPISED by Hashem, our Creator, the Creator of the entire universe and everything within.

    i accidentally posted this in a different thread

    in reply to: Would This Be Mutar? #697576

    i think your answer is perfectly applicable fabie

    i was really referring to someone with difficulty fasting

    by “perfectly healthy” i meant without any medical diseases that the IV would be treating,

    just to make the fast easier

    i had no idea people have actually asked shailos about this.

    in reply to: Would This Be Mutar? #697574

    what is a Gezeira Demalchisa?

    a gezaira from the king? meaning HaKodesh Borchu?

    in reply to: The Riddle Thread…. #1069144

    yes

    A female murderer is condemned to death. She has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven’t eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for her?

    in reply to: The Riddle Thread…. #1069140

    doc

    blinky is obviously referring to your answer

    she asked what comes next, not what is missing.

    maybe i can go back and edit her question to reflect my answer

    kind of like how the Dubno Maggid explained why his mashulim were right on target.

    in reply to: The Riddle Thread…. #1069137

    i immediately thought that the letter “a” was missing from the word “standard”

    unfortunately that wasnt the question

    in reply to: The Riddle Thread…. #1069133

    doctor

    i was responding to your previous post trying to be funnily facetious

    alas it appears i failed

    sorry

    G’mar chasima tova to you and your family. I ask mechilah for anything I wrote that was out of line…..

    G’mar chasima tova to you and your family.

    mechila isnt necessary, but moichul lach

    in reply to: Shidduch Advice #696732

    superficial

    it was rewarding for me to hear words spoken from someone who has a good grasp of the value of the Yeshivah, and what is really the “real world”

    in reply to: Clearing up a few myths regarding Tznius problems #696803

    dont be silly WIY

    we all know that women arent interested in appearing attractive to men. this is a basic fact since the beginning of time. women dont try to attract men. its against their nature.

    in reply to: Tips For Fasting on Yom Kippur #899751

    no more so than a hard candy or cough drop (perhaps worse than a button as if you are using a cough drop you probably have a cough, and a cough consists of a large and forced inhalation preceding the exhalatory component of the cough)

    in reply to: Succa on a Fire Escape #696269

    squeak agrees one should not put a Sukkah on a fire escape, and one does not have a right to do so.

    he only states that the reason of sakanah is not alone enough, as the sakanah is no greater than a myriad of other activities we do on a daily basis, even though there is an equivalent or even greater degree of sahanah

    in reply to: Succa on a Fire Escape #696266

    squeak

    im not sure but i think you are misunderstanding the concern of sakana here

    im getting the impression that you believe the poster is saying it is a sakana to live in a Sukkah in such a precarious location.

    but i believe the poster is saying the sakana is to everyone, in the event that the fire escape needs to be used in the event of a fire.

    or maybe you are not misunderstanding the poster

    in reply to: Tips For Fasting on Yom Kippur #899726

    only when i can get a compliment out of it

    yes

    i would start on hydration today and not wait until tomorrow

    it takes a while for the body to equilibrate

    thanks Mod-80 for bringing this back

    youre the best

    any further thoughts?

    from feivel last year, wherever he is

    in reply to: Shower on Yom Tov #695966

    prof

    i figured you meant lav dafka, just wanted to clarify for SJ

    i believe that most Poskim hold you should do mechira even if you have no chametz mamish that you know about. see haifagirls response from her Rabbi (whom i happen to know and is completely reliable)

    but im not sure if your conclusion is correct as charlie would be mevatel the blios, and then he wouldnt own them during Pesach

    in reply to: Drasha for Yom Kippur #696108

    the custom today is to light a Ner Briah for every married male living in the home, in addition to Yahrtzeit candles.

    some also leave a candle in the bedroom to remind the married couple of what is forbidden.

    some also light a further long lasting candle to be sure to have an “old” fire for Havdalah

    in reply to: Short Skirts – No Excuses #696593

    sj yes i myself am familiar with two doctors that have a heter from a prominent Posek to drive (or be driven) on Shabbos, under certain circumstances

    in reply to: Shower on Yom Tov #695964

    sj is right

    the custom is that you DO NOT sell your keilim. if you did you would have to toivel them as they previously belonged to a non Jew.

    what you sell are the absorptions within the keilim, but not the keilim themselves.

    the problem of Kashrus however would only be a problem if the goy actually removed the keilim from your control and sight.

    in reply to: A moment of truth- why do we really judge others? #712063

    what the OPs intent was, clearly referred to unfair and negative judging without a toeles. my comments were directed to this.

    the thread has seen recent responses to a different question (the one in the title) about why, stam, we judge.

    just to clarify

    in reply to: Short Skirts – No Excuses #696558

    thank you so much sj

    im sorry i expressed my frustration so loudly

    in reply to: Short Skirts – No Excuses #696555

    Mod80, I disagree that the man is responsible. It doesn’t matter what I have, its not your right to take it away. I just may be more likely to lose out in some way.

    nevermind, try and read it again with no agenda. i didnt say he had a right to take away what is someones elses. i said exactly 100% the opposite of that.

    read this: THE ROBBER IS 100% RESPONSIBLE!!!!!

    THE FACT THAT HE WAS TEMPTED IN NO WAY, NO WAY AT ALL REDUCES HIS RESPONSIBILITY. HE IS RESPONSIBLE 100%!!!!!! HE IS EQUALLY RESPONSIBLE IN BOTH CASES

    the victim also bears responsibility because he acted negligently, BUT THIS IN NO WAY, IN NO WAY, NOT AT ALL, NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT REDUCES THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE ROBBER!!!!

    in reply to: Short Skirts – No Excuses #696548

    Mod80, with all due respect, there are quite a few Orthodox Rabbis who permit sleeves above the elbow. Even if your rabbonim disagree with them.

    no comment

    in reply to: Short Skirts – No Excuses #696547

    i *think* we all can agree on the following, basically.

    and i believe this will show we all pretty much agree on the parallel issue, its just a matter of not understanding the whole of what each other is saying:

    scenario 1. man in crowded street takes out his wallet and openly counts his hunderd dollar bills. soon after, it is stolen from him by robber.

    scenario 2. robber stam takes a mans wallet

    in scenario 2. the robber is 100% wrong. the man bears no responsibility.

    in scenario 1. the robber is also 100% wrong, and his punishment should be exactly the same as in the other scenario. however the victim is also partially responsible for what happened to him, ALTHOUGH IT IN NO WAY REDUCES THE ROBBERS RESPONSIBILITY.

    in reply to: Short Skirts – No Excuses #696544

    there are also “rabbaim” that “poskin” that their congregants may drive to temple on Shabbos.

    in reply to: A moment of truth- why do we really judge others? #712051

    i think there is not a lot of doubt here

    stam people generally find fault in others because that is the easiest way to increase their own evaluation of themselves.

    in reply to: Divorce Crisis #697281

    not sure what nm means, but changing the names is easy, the software is set up for it already. i havent messed with names for a long time. any new name changes since then, you can probably blame 42

    in reply to: Divorce Crisis #697278

    sorry to disappoint you, but im no squeak, my verbal sparring skills are more mundane

    in reply to: Divorce Crisis #697276

    squeak

    i was referring to style, not content

    in reply to: Divorce Crisis #697266

    by the way Mark Twain, (as well as many others), made his career as a humorist and writer almost exclusively via sarcasm and cynicism, in a humorous way. popas posts often remind me of Twains style (also squeak)

    in reply to: Divorce Crisis #697254

    i have nothing against popa

    as a matter of fact i like the persona

    i didnt post anything nasty about him

    hes not a child

    i pointed out the character of those two posts that another poster did not catch and that i believe popa intended

    i dont believe popa would disagree with my assessment

    if not, popa please stand up, and ill gladly delete my “nasty” posts

    in reply to: Divorce Crisis #697245

    aidle

    im sorry, i didnt mean ALL his posts

    just those two (and occasional others)

    in reply to: Divorce Crisis #697241

    cherrybim, try reading his posts as being sarcastic and cynical. the meaning should then emerge

    in reply to: Shower on Yom Tov #695957

    haifa i “think” youre right that the Poskim say that everyone should do mechira.

    im not sure your logic is exactly correct though.

    do you sell chametz that you dont know about? im not sure but i believe you only sell that chametz of which you are aware. we rely purely on bitul for the chametz we dont know about (again, i think)

    the blios in the kailim. certainly they are included in the sale, but in truth i believe that’s just sort of thrown in for good measure, does anyone actually want to buy the blios. just try someday to sell them to your goy neighbor, how would you even extract them from the pots to sell them. how could one make a kinyan on them?

    i think it may be complicated but your question to charlie is a good one. id be interested in the answer.

    good pay

    set your own hours (individually contract to dentists)

    always in demand

    in reply to: #695781

    not the restaurant business though

    one of the worse rates of success of any business enterprise

    besides requiring, usually, massive amounts of time and energy

    sorry blinky, sometimes when there is a lot of activity a good post might get overlooked temporarily

    in reply to: Shower on Yom Tov #695950

    i believe charlie said that they get rid of all their chametz so there is nothing left to sell

    It really hasn’t been a burden to eat it all up, or give it to a non-Jew.
