    coffee addict, why don’t they run on tax cuts?

    Laskern,

    How come the economy is doing so great? (Please don’t say Obama, he said there will never be gdp greater than 3%)

    1, I don’t know what world you live in. The opposite is true. People who got tax cuts did not need it and those who needed it the most did not get it.

    Laskern,

    I don’t know where you got that information from but I saw my taxes (federal not state) get drastically cut

    As far as what I wanted to get out of this thread etc.:
    I more some people enjoy threads that are confrontational and bash, where there is a winner and loser. But not me. I like finding common ground with other yidden (which is why I frequent here to begin with), seeing exactly where we agree, where we disagree and coming out with a broader knowledge of klal Yisraels (kosher obviously) hashkofos (even if I may not hold of some for myself which is fine. There were 12 shvatim, all equally valid)

    This seems incongruous with the statement

    the-world-is-in-a-state-of-geula-and-dont-misunderstand-us

    Where you seem to be forcing your views on the site

    5ish,

    Are you saying that the gaonim tannaim and amaroaim who spanked their kids had their kids turn out violent?

    I understand that there is a way it should be done, with love and respect but it’s not the spanking it’s the way it’s done

    My Rav would never put himself on the same footing as Rabbi Kanievsky for example who is known to have much more knowledge of Torah than the typical learned Rav.

    Notice you said rav kanievsky however any Lubavitcher feels they are on the same footing as R Shach ztl, so much so that you will not find an Avi Ezri in any Chabad House and if he is mentioned (he is a tzaddik, he might have a different opinion than you) he will be cursed out (I personally saw a Lubavitcher stick up his middle finger when R shach’s name was mentioned so I know first hand)

    Well it looks like Kavanaugh’s main accuser might have gotten confused

    From Fox News (I know, it’s fox)

    Among them: the report summarizes a statement from a man who believes he may have been involved in an encounter with Christine Blasey Ford around the time of her claim of misconduct against Kavanaugh. Some of this emerged during the Supreme Court confirmation process, but the report provides more details.

    For example, if that were the case, then it would be impossible to apply the anticipating moshiach every day
    in practice, because if his coming is contingent on Eliyahu hanavi announcing it three days earlier, then he can’t come today as there was no announcement two days ago….

    Thanks for the reply I thought it was going to get lost.

    It can be understood that the announcement that moshiach is coming can be any day,

    And there are shittos that say eliyahu hanavi can announce moshiach on that day before he comes

    I pointed out that 1) some find it offensive 2) IT accomplishes nothing and 3) It can potentially alienate allies

    Some people find “clinging to their guns and bibles” offensive too or “if I had a son he would look like Trayvon” but that didn’t stop his majesty from saying that

    It accomplishes that it was an act of terror as opposed to “workplace violence” and it should be dealt appropriately

    As we see that Trump has said it over and over and Saudi Arabia (an ally) is still on good relations with Trump and while we’re talking about allies how Obama acted to the only democracy in the Middle East (putting feet on table while talking to him, condescending tones to Netanyahu, trying to prop up the opposition as opposed to staying out of it, not vetoing certain UN sanctions, and secretly making a deal with Iran) shows he doesn’t care about alienating allies

    I’m wondering, isn’t there a makor that eliyahu hanavi is supposed to announce who is moshiach (like Shmuel did with Dovid) and not that moshiach announces himself (whether outright or ברמיזה)

    I personally believe that killing an innocent person is worse than not convicting a guilty one.

    Even if they in turn kill innocent people?

    The U.S. has executed many innocent people, so it can’t be trusted.

    Hashem is also very happy when we cry out for the Geula from the depths of our heart and are not lackadaisical about it because in truth we couldn’t care less… Aderabe the more we cry out, the more we show we care. And the more nachas we give Hashem, and cause Him to want to bring the Geula sooner.

    Do you have a source for that? All I know is one of the אני מאמין says that אחכה לו he doesn’t say that we will demand him now

    So to respond to that, yes it is. I mean just translate it. The yidden/ Moshe had times they davened nicely, they knew how to say please, as in Kel na refa na la… He was not a polite, “if it’s OK with you Hashem, we would love to have the zechus to bring the korban pesach…” Rather it was “lama nigara,” “Why should we miss out??”

    Moshe davenend קל נא רפא נא לה not klal yisrael
    The prop the couldn’t bring the קרבן פסח were asking “why should we lose out on bringing the קרבן פסח if we were doing a מצוה and שכר מצוה מצוה and מצוה גוררת מצוה

    The karaites convinced the Nazis that they weren’t to be considered Jewish and indeed they weren’t

    A gift is nice and appropriate – most common would be flowers or a bottle of wine or a chocolate/candy platter

    That reminds me of one time we invited people from a website that we didn’t know and they brought chalav stam chocolate (not sure why, we served fleishigs) and when we told them that we keep chalav yisrael they said awww too bad and kept it for themselves

    They apply the pasuk הקל קול יעקב והידים ידי עשו Yaakov is suppose to accomplish things with his voice and not with arms,

    Yet when Yaakov went to meet eisav he prepared himself for war

    Nowhere does it say he “learned Torah” it says he davened, sent gifts, and prepared himself for war

    To answer the OP, the Torah says וחי בהם

    So if they left the body to decompose it wouldn’t be murder for peta?
