This is what you posted and we are suppose to take you seriously?
I am a Roman Catholic. No, no, I do not believe that Jesus was our savior nor do I believe him to be the son of God. I certainly do not believe in the Holy Ghost and, to be honest, I am not really sure what that even is. But believe me (as our President is want to say) I am a Catholic.
Don’t get me wrong, I have never stepped into a church, I did not attend Sunday school, I know very, very little about the New Testament and if you asked me what mass was, I’d probably tell you it is the property of matter that measures its resistance to acceleration. But I call myself a Roman catholic so a Roman Catholic I am.
My father was not a Roman Catholic and neither was my mother but I was converted by a Roman Catholic who shares my views of our religion. Truth is, to me being Roman Catholic means being a good person and having Catholic values (because, after all, we all know that Muslims, Jews and them awful Baptists do not believe in being a good person or changing the world for the better).
As I do not know or care for the Catholic rights, I don’t have rosemary beads and think they’re silly, Hail Mary is what I like to see at the end of a football game and again, I don’t believe in Jesus, I have developed a new form of Catholic prayer. It entails, wearing a pasta strainer on my head (I borrowed that one from the Pastafarians) and wearing speedos and chanting the lyrics to any song by Abba. This is how I, as a Catholic, like to perform the prayer service. Now, truth be told, I conduct my services maybe once a year but as a Catholic, I demand that the Holy See set aside a space for me at the Vatican to conduct my mass every 15th of the month and on Christmas and Easter, too. The refusal by the Church to cede to my requests shows great intolerance on the part of the Church and I will stop donating money to the Archdioceses and instead of telling people I meet how nice Catholics are, I will encourage them to spread lies about the Catholic people all over the world.
And that is the Reform argument to pray at the Kotel.

@rocky, “Obviously, this paragraph was written for PR purposes to demonstrate that they are not religious fanatics from the dark ages.”
That pretty much sizes up the MO mentality in general and YU in particular, they are always buzy trying to show that they are modern and left first and Jewish second.
And that is why it is withering on the vine.@Gvmt money was never the issue in YU, it was what the consverdox public though of them.
@RW its called offense not defense, and you a hypocrite
BDE. CTL is someone I have ton of respect for.
Avrira, why give this hypocrite what he wants? he just admitted he have a double standard
stop the trolling and the fighting will stop
go to google and look up self help for trolls
@RW, what I put into my body affects no one but myself, the signs are public domains.

@moish26, according to you its usser to be on the CR, why are you still posting??????????????
Reb Chaim’s car went to Yanky Kevinisky along with his major assets
Relax, deep breaths in thru nose out thru your mouth, close your eyes and pretend you hear the ocean or waterfalls
Well I am not a hypocrite, I dont care one way or the other WORLDWIDE
@rw point being unlike you I dont really care what languges street signs are posted in
“My thought was that today the papers shouldn’t be respecting someone who played a massive part in such a thing…”
My thoughts are that you need to relax and take deep breaths and enjoy life
@RW, the main langague spoken in New Square, Monroe, Vistnitz and Tosh is Yiddish, yes all street signs are in English or [in the case of tosh in French], does it offend me? no, if the signs were in Engish and Yiddish would it offend me? no, Do I it offensive that they call 8th Street in Little Havana in Miami Calle Ocho, no.
rav Chaim never had a SUV
@GH nope full powered V8 gas, it minimize bittul zman, plus the sound effects of a gas motor
moral of the story, all rebbehs now drive high end SUVs
@lakewat, CCNY, SUNY, Fordham, Pace will all take Yeshiva credits, most will require you to take a basic math and english test before allowing a transfer
How does one approach this? he/she get a life and a job and would not be fixated with such stuff.
I think the the employer have relaxed the standards somewhat, but to get somewhere you need a genuine BA/BS for the most part, these days fairly easy to obtain with remote learning and all.
@RW “Most Jews arent Israeli and speak primarily the language of the land or Yiddish if they come from Ashkenaz roots.”

@imamhappy, the main differnce is that I am there now, not talking about third hand info, It was my college degree from a major school [that i got with 30 cedits] that opened up the first few doors for me
@RW last week I was in a seforim store in the catskills and saw a few litvisher ppl speaking to the owner in yiddish, I also Tuvia of the seforim store speak in yiddish, hespadim in lkwd are give in yiddish for the most part,
What neighborhood in NYC do you hear Hebrew spoken as the predominate lang,?
yet to come across one@Iamhappy, first of all welcome to the CR,
Having worked most of my life in coperate america, I can tell you a BTL is worth almost nothing, to be taken as a serious candidate you need a BA/BS from a real school not Belluve College, Thomas Edison etc.
Second, the BTL and a great LSAT score will only open doors in a lower or mid range school like NY or Brooklyn Law, Hofstra, Pace etc, it wont open doors to any ivy league places
Third, the good intership are very hard to come by, unless your ethnic is unrepresented in the firm good luck in landing one.
Fourth, other then bypassing the Law Schools requirement of a BA or for use in the special needs population mid level staffing, I dont know what useful purpose it serves.
