Someone got a computer fully intending to use it for only proper things. But now, instead of doing that, this person is asking random people on the internet questions about the chinuch of his/her children, and halachic questions such as hilchos gezeilah! Should such a person break their own computer, so they will be more inclined to ask an actual Rav?

Especially if such property happens to be a tree near a city under siege.

October 29, 2014 6:51 pm at 6:51 pm #1038493ChortkovParticipantWhy break it if you can give it away?
If the question was should one rid oneself of it, is “Obviously” not the correct answer?

Obviously. I’ve started to think the bumper knows that perfectly well, and I think that’s starting to be obvious too.
