Personally I’ve never been such a fan of Yossi, while MBD is the premier jewish talent. I never really connected to Yossi’s songs, while MBD really rocks my neshoma. Not even a close call by me.
Additionally, I once met Yossi’s grandson (really interesting guy. Like, really, really, interesting.), and he told me that while his grandfather has worked extensively with MBD, Yossi himself wouldn’t compare himself to the great MBD, saying quote “I couldn’t hold a solitary candle to such an insanely talented artist”. Do with that what you will.
Why would he be a mamzer? His parents were technically legally married (I think).

Why would you pose this as a question if you already know the answer? Unless you’re just an over enthusiastic follower of the Socratic method.

First hand accounts actually indicate that Riddle was never in full control, nor was he ever actually a ruler. However, he did control much of Britain from behind the scenes, so I suppose you are somewhat correct.
Modern historical accounts will drone endlessly about his villainous acts, but we all know history is written by the victors, in this case a group of mindless cult members under the sway of a dead man and his sycophantic lieutenant. In truth, Riddle was a fearless leader of his people, a true kanoiy dedicated to bringing the growing trend of widespread assimilation to a halt, as well as stopping unlawful geirus. His acts of bravery and dedication will be remembered for many generations to come. RIP Riddle. Yehi zichro Baruch.
PUBLIC DISCLAIMER: I do not have any connection to hashem says no. He was not the cat I was referring to. Although he sounds like he might be experiencing a similar issue.
You don’t have a dog. You’re scared of dogs because you think you’re a cat.
My sister is reading this over my shoulder, and would like you all to know that she is insulted and vehemently disagrees with all of you.
As a former seminary graduate myself, I would like to make it known that I agree with her.
Also, she told all her friends about this thread, and they too would like to make their disagreement known.

Wow! I will actually be in Budapest as well sometime mid-March. Maybe I’ll be zocheh to meet you! (I get the impression that you’re the type to wear a name tag.) Just look out for the guy with a covered birdcage on his shoulder!Yes but the Telshe Cleveland campus (btw it’s actually in wickliffe) is also right next to a gigantic church from which bells can be heard tolling at every hour. Could lead to some bad hashpaos. Perhaps that is what the OP meant when he called it less shtark.
Hello Mods. My mother taught me that it’s polite to start a conversation by inquiring after the other persons welfare. So, how are you doing?
With that out of the way, could you pretty please change the word “brochure” in my last post to “bochur”? Thank you very kindly. Have an easy fast, and have fun dealing with the twenty or so Jan. 6 threads that will surely pop up in the next few days. For that alone, you are heroes.
If there is a heter to wait until 24 (I heard 25) if one is learning, then what is there to really argue about in regard to bochurim being required to get married earlier? A brochure is someone who by definition is learning. Unless it just means any young man, but here on yeshiva world I don’t think we classify such shkutzim as Jewish, let alone bochurim. Just to clarify, by we, I mean you.
@avira I didn’t say that dogs are assur. I said that little white dogs are assur. Anything smaller than a beagle is basically a really loud cat. Cats are animals commonly associated with witchcraft and are therefore maaras ayin.
Personally I feel as though there are many bad middos to be learned from the Tintin books. It glorifies violence, verbal abuse, idol worship, kol ishah, drugs and alcohol, and little white dogs. All of the above are assur, and is therefore unsuitable material for anybody, much less children.
There innumerable inappropriate elements throughout the series, all of which can terrible influence on impressionable young minds. The Thom(p)son brothers’ antics leave one with a mocking disdain of law enforcement. Professor Calculus exhibits a seeming ability to wreak untold havoc, even creating weapons of mass destruction, and get away with it on the pretense of a hearing disorder. What good can possibly emerge from that? Captain Haddock epitomizes a kiddish club gone wrong, yet is portrayed as quite the lovable rogue.
Tintin himself is not much of a role model either. In the books (and the movie), he is depicted as quite a young man, appearing not a day older than 16. Where are his parents? What kind of chinuch is this? A child may very well put the book down thinking that they too can simply gallivant around the world with no repercussions.
I hope that I have convinced at least a small portion of you of the grave danger this terrible series poses to our youth. If even one parent reads this, and does not allow their child to read the books because of it, I will consider this time well spent.
(I have only included a small portion of the many terrible habits and ideas prevalent in the series. There are many more, and I’d be happy to share them with anyone who is not yet completely convinced.)
Sure. When I said my roommate was a cat I was trying to catch people off guard and make a mockery of something or another. Whatever you say.
And he doesn’t speak his mind. He calls nearly everything out as trolling, which I would define as trolling. It was not intended to be offensive. It was intended to get him to stop calling me a troll. If he is offended I apologize. If I’m right then I have nothing to apologize for.
@commonsaychel
Wow! I’m so proud of you. You’ve finally taken the first step toward admitting that not everyone is a troll. Congrats. Although to be brutally honest, any thread centered on a dvar Torah by definition cannot be a troll post, because if it’s a troll post, it’s obviously not a real dvar torah. Let’s see if you can come up with just one more.As to your second, thought out, articulate, searingly logical point, I’m in complete agreement with you. To paraphrase my 8th grade rebbi, a troll is a troll is a troll is a troll. However, as I have quite reasonably pointed out to you on numerous occasions, I AM NOT A TROLL. As I have said above, troll posts are designed to be offensive and provocative, and my posts are neither. My goal is simply to inject a bit of humor into the conversation, hardly a punishable offense.
I hope that now that I have explained this to you, you will cease and desist your dogged persistence in insisting upon my trollness. Perhaps you’ll even apologize, though I won’t hold my breath. Though Perhaps you understood this all along, and have some sort of personal vendetta against humor and satire, perhaps as a result of some childhood trauma. The possibility that your campaign against my posts is nothing more than projection is not one I’d rule out very quickly.
And maybe, just maybe, the truth behind your words lies in the fact that in fact, the biggest troll here is none other than YOU. After all YOUR posts certainly fall under the commonly accepted definition of a troll post. They’re rude, offensive, unprovoked, and provocative. You insert them into nearly every conversation in the hope of accomplishing nothing other than to get everyone else upset. Did I discover your secret? I’m sorry for blowing the whistle on you like that. Don’t bother denying it, we all know the truth. We didn’t even have to think very hard to realize this.
It’s just common saychel.
There’s no a.k.a about it. I am not a troll, and I demand an apology for being called one. If you’d like you can write on all my threads, in caps, that I am a social satirist (level 8), and therefore people should not respond.
The New Oxford American Dictionary defines a troll (second definition), as, and I quote, “A person who makes a deliberately offensive or provocative online post.” Please explain how humor or satire falls under this category. Or, if you’d like, simply find any post that I’ve made that is trollish according to this definition.
You also never responded to one of my previous posts, so I’ll repeat the challenge: find 5 recent threads, none of which can have been started by you, that are NOT troll threads. I’ll wait.
I’d say go with the Glock 17. It’s slightly smaller, lighter, and has less recoil. It’s extremely accurate. My personal faves however have got to be the beretta 92m or the sig sauer P328. Two of the best made pistols ever.
If you want a little more power, I’d suggest going with a colt 1911 .45.
Yes.
What point? What case? What about an apology? Or, better yet, what about a sabbatical?
