thanks blockhead
Aren’t dolphins the 2nd most intelligent creatures on Earth? 🙂
the third:
1. moderators
2. humans
3. dolphins
wolf
not at all!
use your head
it’s just as likely that the poster is simply pretending or lying…
as a matter of fact that is what you and the other posters seemed to be implying when you happily thought you caught her redhanded
Firstly, I’d make it an explicit rule that users must agree to.
i suppose, i doubt if that would accomplish much though.
Secondly, if someone gets caught doing so, warn them.
Thirdly, do it enough times (twice, thrice, whatever…) then ban them.
there is no way to “catch” them unless they admit to it. inconsistencies in content is no proof as to the cause.
as far as HIE, you’re right
just last week my nephew showed it to me. if it was mine i would have dropped a large brick on it and said: “solve THIS, rubik!”
Each person should post under their own screen name.
obviously.
i was just wondering what you would suggest to insure this, that you would do if it was YOUR message board.
perhaps you can let us know how you manage this problem on your personal blog.
how would you propose to do this if this was YOUR board?
perhaps insist that a condition for posting here would be for each poster to purchase a fingerprint or retinal identification machine to confirm the identity of whomever is using their computer, and tie this in to software on this end to only allow the appropriate person to post here?
However, it’s not my message board…
do you mean to imply that if it was your message board you would not allow more than one person to share the same screename?
The Yeshivah would eliminate secular studies in a heartbeat if they could.
I cant speak for all Yeshivos. The one I am very familiar with is forced to tolerate secular studies because they are required by state law.
******”indication”
Ah. Apparently wolves can’t read. 🙂
OK, let’s rephrase then…
… if I suddenly start wearing a streimel, does that automatically make me a chassid?
The Wolf ******
“indication”
*****no, the headgear is an indication of your beliefs and actions
If you saw a person with a streimel you would say he’s from the chassidic sect (not exactly saying he’s a chassid)
So, if I wear a leather kippah or a knit kippah, it means that I have to have certain beliefs and actions?! Are you saying that it’s not possible to wear a knit kippah and have the same hashkafos and actions as a “yeshivish person?”
The Wolf******
“indication”
As we may all end up in a box after many years it behooves us to follow the will of our Creator and final Judge, whatever that may be.
Whether that necessitates acceptance of every Jews mahalach, or whether it necessitates speaking out against certain behaviors, it should be determined by what our Gedolim and Poskim tell us, not by what feels good and sounds nice and friendly.
where does this “common” sense come from? common to whom?
Common sense comes from our general environment. And it changes as the seasons. That abortion was a heinous crime was once common sense. That relations between man and man was disgusting and abhorrent was once common sense.
only the eternal Torah can be our guide.
you dont have to explain yourself to me yanky. you be whatever you want.
You can categorize me or put me into any kind of “box” you would like.
Mod 80 – “harmless things: sports, tv, movies, magazines, novels, blue jeans, baseball caps, sneakers” hat to break it to you but tv, magazines, goyish novels, (many times “harmlessly include love incidents) ARE HARMFUL.
most certainly sof. i was trying to state their perspective hoping the foolishness of it would be obvious. no sane person would open the sewer main to empty into his living room, much less his head.
not to mention that we are a Holy Nation, set apart from the nations, we thank Hashem in Havdalah and many other occasions for separating us from the nations. and as was prophesied, whenever we begin to go lost to within the nations, Hashem increases their hatred of us to form a barrier, if we wont make our own barrier. many see the Holocaust as a result of the large masses of Jews embracing reform and assimilation, and making berlin the “new Jerusalem”.
But I know that the way it is used (pejoratively, as I described above) is just wrong.
Something pejorative is not necessarily wrong.
Because an idea makes us nervous or feel bad doesn’t make it wrong.
Okay, I’ll tell you what it means:
I has nothing to do with lack of commitment to Halachah.
It means they wish to partake in the manner of dress and entertainments of the goyim. (within Halachah of course). harmless things: sports, tv, movies, magazines, novels, blue jeans, baseball caps, sneakers. all within reason and all in no contradiction to Torah Principles.
the usual and basic meaning of “modern” means “as opposed to older ways”.
Perhaps that’s how it is properly used?
wolf:
Im curious to hear how you would explain the use of the word “modern”
It seems to me, to mean the current general culture of the civilized world or western world or american world.
how would you explain the meaning of the adjective as used by the MO?
Anyone else finding these postings eminently uninteresting?
nice to hear from you!
only the elite moderator tactical units, and the security cadre are headquartered there. not for us regular “soldiers”.
if you ever tried to moderate a venusian-martian argument you would understand why.
thanks everyone
OK
ive waited long enough for someone else to ask this, so ill just have to go ahead and admit my ignorance.
what is a bishow?
The answer is exactly both what SJ said and what helpful said
just one of our many secure locations
bh18, check your email for kitty’s email address.
Wof and Mod-80
wof is what he says
wolf is who he is
And I should be receiving mine when?
philo, i dont have sources for you but i am fairly certain that it is well held that Moshiach can ARRIVE on any day (except Erev Shabbos)
In the Islamic religious tradition it is written that before the arrival of the Mahdi, the Dajjal will appear riding a white donkey.
In Mesechta Sanhedrin 98a the color of the donkey that Moshiach will ride is described as multicolored.
Im always looking for the opportunity to agree with wolf
this is it
i also find that very hard to believe.
heres a recipe ive been thinking about
never tried it
sautee crimini mushrooms
drain well
add butter, garlic, and salt
sautee just a little more
cauliflower is much easier to check than broccoli. im not competent to give directions.
I retract the first half of my statement.
from the cRc:
Cauliflower – It is impractical and close to impossible for the average consumer to properly check fresh and frozen cauliflower. It is therefore highly recommended that only product with a reliable hashgacha be used. Canned or jarred needs a reliable hashgacha.
interesting: star-k gives the same procedure for broccoli
from star-k:
” 1. Agitate florets in a white bowl of clean water.
2. Examine the water to see that it is insect-free.
Note: It may be helpful to place the white bowl on a light source such as a light box to make it easier to detect any insects and distinguish them from bits of debris or detached florets.
3. If insects are found, you may re-do this procedure up to three times in total. If there are still insects, the whole batch must be discarded.
4. If the water is insect-free, look over florets to see if any insects are visible on the tops and stems.
5. If no insects are noticed you may use the vegetable.”
cauliflower is much easier to check than broccoli. im not competent to give directions.
broccoli is quite problematic, insect wise.
how do you check it?
or do you use frozen bodek
and where is eat going?
NOW youre bringing us recipes?
its worse to kill your brother than a stranger. you can decide why.
the closer one is to you the worse it is to do him an injustice.
no one is closer to you than the Jew that is called by your name.
yes i know
but – MANY MANY MANy frum homes DO NOT allow any goyish books, magazines, newspapers etc into their homes yet their daughters still have such a deep desire to be “with it “
how many of their friends do absorb the goysih media, and how many of their relatives, and their schoolmates and everyone else they see.
it’s a general problem of a goyish environment. it pervades everywhere and impurifies with contact, and is absorbed by osmosis. this is golus.
we have to free ourselves from it as well as we can.
well informed Yid
100% no question you are correct
