YW Moderator-80

i wish people would read the responses and then not say the same EXACT thing again

there are a variety of reasons to dress in the manner of the group to which you belong . no one said it means “im better than you”

interestingly, when Rabbi dr dovid gottlieb became o Chosid of the Bostoner Rebbe, the Rebbe told him he must wait 8 years before wearing the Chassidic garb. i dont know his reason for sure but i believe from what i heard 3rd hand is that it was to be certain that Rabbi Gottlieb was not joining because of a love of the externalities of the life of a Chosid.

But your story about his natural genius and phenomenal memory ,while fascinating, in reality does nothing to inspire Avodas Hashem

you mean it does nothing to inspire Avodas Hashem for you. it inspires me.

The point you chose to focus on was not the “ENTIRE” point. What inspires you is not always what inspires someone else. And who said the op missed the point of the story as defined by you, just because he pointed out another aspect?

youre right

thanks for the correction

youre welcome

chacham

do you have any respect for the decisions of the moderation staff or not?

do you think it was accidentally deleted?

you should not be reopening the exact same discussion again

ive heard of it on tisha b’av

i did it

difficult only because no one knows you are doing it

but not all that difficult because in general there isnt a lot of talking on T’BA

i would think it would be very easy on Y”K, so much so that i dont see the value. who talks to anyone on Y”K anyway? were all busy davening all day

I don’t enjoy it, though, and I often forget

you forget to drink the wine?

or the wine makes you forget?

or you forget that you dont enjoy it?

moral “feelings”?

its not just the germans

its everywhere at all times

moral “feelings” are dependent on the current moral climate.

american vietnam vets, mostly from “moral” backgrounds who wouldnt hurt a fly without a reason, murdered innocent women and children, often participated in fragging (shooting a overly strict head of the platoon in the back) i know this from personal reports from friends. were they inherently evil. dont tell wartime is an exception. no, its merely that during wartime, the culture and attitudes of your fellow soldiers, the determinants of what is “moral” created a moral atmoshphere of the lightness of murder. in WWII and every earlier american war such things as fragging were unheard of.

all moral feelings come from the particular society and times in which you live.

the wellsprings of conscience that Chazal speak about no longer apply our surroundings are immmeasurably more corrupt than then (R A. Miller, tz’l)

very good oomis.

i remember when if you would have suggested to remove someone from life support, the nurses and doctors would be horrified and consider you a monster, and a would be murderer.

now they are much kinder because they care so much for the ill person and cant bear to see him suffer. they will pressure the family with every cunning form of persuasion and guilt arousal to get them to agree to kill them.

both positions based on man made “morality” which is as oomis described.

of course each person feels he is above such fickle morality and can trust his own conscience and feelings to guide his as to what is right and wrong. i think this is your position MP

BUT IT IS NOT SO!

THIS IS PASHUT

just look into it

look at the kindly helpful, polite, compassionate germans. and that they were, they actually were. it wasnt a front. until the “moral” climate changed.

ok the deletable posts are starting to come in now

zees you fished your wish

hello zees

this is a thread requesting the opening of ANOTHER THREAD. CAN YOU QUOTE ANYTHING FROM THE ABOVE POSTS THAT IS NOT Apprropriate?

if so well close the thread

sorry about the accidental press of the capslock key

so now the op has implied he wants to outlaw this practice, he should put up proclamations stating so, and some posters would not tell people to stop this practice.

doesnt anyone know how to read? or is it just so self-satisfying to disagree with other posters?

two guys of a certain european ethnic group were driving. some one called out to the driver that his left turn signal was broken

so he told hid friend to get out and watch while he turned on the turn signal

his friend said:

its working

wait, no, its broken

no its working

broken

working

broken

even people who don’t believe in G-d can be moral, have values.

no they cant

they cannot!

they do not.

their “values” stem only from their desire for self-fulfillment.

maybe this comes in the form of helping others or being “good” for some.

but it is all selfishness and without bechira

the moment they are no longer satisfied by it, it all ends.

tha germans were well known across europe as the friendliness, most helpful, most COMPASSIONATE of all peoples at that time.

the tutis and hutus african tribes were neighbors living in friendliness and love and harmony for many years until it was no longer convenient and they began hacking up their innocent women and children next-door neighbors with machetes

as you well know the list goees on and on among all people and all times.

sorry

of course i am sure HG would agree that there are cases when dafka NOT adhering to grammatical conventions is more conducive to facilitate communication of the desired emotion or concept

ie poetry

stream of consciousness writing
