popa_bar_abbaParticipant
For the record: Anyone who thinks Huck Finn means that Mark Twain was racist, is being ridiculous. You are confusing his own opinions with the opinions of the people about whom he is writing.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantWasn’t Percy head boy? Is that later?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantWhy are you less afraid to be facebook friends with a gentile woman than with a Jewish woman?
Who said anything about Jewish? I said frum.
Why should it bother you that you are facebook friends with someone you don’t know so well?
For the same reason I don’t make my page public.
How do these people know you have Facebook? If they guessed, just Ivor’s it, like I do, since I haveen’t got an account.
They typed my name into the bar on top, and found the one with a picture of me with Justice Clarence Thomas’s arm around my shoulder.
Also, I don’t know how to “Ivor’s” it.
popa_bar_abbaParticipant1. You shouldn’t have facebook because it doesn’t pas (it doesnt bread).
Perhaps it depends on one’s personal situation? I only got facebook a couple years ago, when my situation changed such that it became necessary.
GET MARRIED, MAN!
I’m actually currently married to my third wife. I’d say I have more marriage experience than anyone else you know. And I can assure you that it is irrelevant to this topic.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantAdvocaat is always by far, superior to all other liqueurs.
This is true. I like the one by Bols, and I found it in a chassidishe liquor store in Monsey (the one in the little mall type place next to the big grocery store, where you drive down a steep hill into the parking lot).
popa_bar_abbaParticipantPopa, it sounds a little stupid to rely on a hachsher if they the,selves only give it an approved status, not a full one. That’s not politics, it’s simply closing your eyes.
Amazing. Simply amazing. It is stupid to rely on a hechsher when the approve something. I think you’ll need to elaborate on that one.
But before you do, I’ll let you in on a secret: All hashgachos do it, even on things that they actively certify. They have lists of ingredients that are permitted, even though nobody certified the manufacture of those ingredients. American hashgachos call those “Schedule A ingredients”.
If you don’t trust the stuff on their approved list, you cannot eat anything on their regular list either, since it may contain ingredients from their approved list. Certainly in an establishment certified by the London Beis Din, they allow the kitchen to cook with things from the approved list.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantgoldersgreener: I’m American, and I don’t feel meshubad to get involved in British kosher politics. I’m confident in the london beis din, and if they say it is kosher, I drink it ?????.
February 4, 2013 8:17 pm at 8:17 pm in reply to: Saving A Pets Life – How Much Should I Spend? #926921popa_bar_abbaParticipantThe cost of the pet is irrelevant. If the value to you of saving it is more than the cost of saving it, then you are increasing your utility by spending it.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI nominate Doped up like an elementary school kid.
And Sheep without a Spleen.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantLondon Beis din. See their website.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantme me me !!!!
and my brothers!!!!
and my little dog too.
February 4, 2013 6:52 pm at 6:52 pm in reply to: How Do You Spend Purim Night After Breaking The Fast? #926048popa_bar_abbaParticipantAn elephant’s faithful 100%.
February 4, 2013 6:27 pm at 6:27 pm in reply to: How Do You Spend Purim Night After Breaking The Fast? #926045popa_bar_abbaParticipantpopa_bar_abbaParticipantI didn’t mean for you to bring your abstract argument over here.
February 4, 2013 5:54 pm at 5:54 pm in reply to: How Do You Spend Purim Night After Breaking The Fast? #926042popa_bar_abbaParticipantThere’s no mitzva to drink at night.
You declare that so definitely. Are you so definite about other machloksim, or only about this one?
February 4, 2013 4:33 pm at 4:33 pm in reply to: How Do You Spend Purim Night After Breaking The Fast? #926038popa_bar_abbaParticipantDoing the mitzvos. Keeping the Torah.
(ie. drinking)
popa_bar_abbaParticipantPoor parenting is not the same thing as child abuse.
Of course not. And this was child abuse.
February 3, 2013 10:45 pm at 10:45 pm in reply to: Changing the social dynamic on child abuse #926023popa_bar_abbaParticipantVM: Yes, I have wondered what those shushers hope to accomplish.
Confucious: ????? ????
popa_bar_abbaParticipantpopa_bar_abbaParticipantYes, but the only way we know that sippur yetzias mitzraim is from rosh chodesh is through a special passuk.
So that is the starting point.
February 3, 2013 9:23 pm at 9:23 pm in reply to: When to buy a kever? Should young people buy graves? #926787popa_bar_abbaParticipantTo clarify, they were figuratively laughing their heads off. If they literally laughed their heads off, they would also be dead, and then might be buried even closer. (nobody knew who they were either)
popa_bar_abbaParticipantDon’t you mean a good vort vort.
February 3, 2013 8:59 pm at 8:59 pm in reply to: When to buy a kever? Should young people buy graves? #926784popa_bar_abbaParticipantWhy isn’t it a meis mitzva? I’m talking about where nobody knows who it is or will bury him (both people in the story).
And why isn’t it funny? The chevra kadisha was laughing their heads off when they brought the second guy there. You should have seen the look on the first guy’s face. He just went white.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantJust for the record, taking the 500k implies an interest rate of about 7.2%. If your interest rate is higher, you’d want to take the 500k. If lower, you’d want to take the 1m.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantDear Hypocritical Fanatic,
Yes, I was also surprised to see those posts, and I didn’t remotely understand what was bothering that poster or why she was taking it out on you 🙂
My advice is to chalk it up to the vagaries of anonymous internet posting. Maybe she was drunk http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/son-wants-to-go-collecting-in-limo-on-purim#post-436440 http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/shidduch-crisis-6#post-436442 http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/a-complaint-about-the-terms-frei-and-shiksa#post-436441
popa_bar_abbaParticipantDear Fanatical Hypocrite,
Just be obnoxious to your date until she does it for you.
Love,
Bar Abby
February 3, 2013 6:27 pm at 6:27 pm in reply to: Calling people with questionable smicha Rabbi #995534popa_bar_abbaParticipanttee hee
February 3, 2013 6:26 pm at 6:26 pm in reply to: When to buy a kever? Should young people buy graves? #926779popa_bar_abbaParticipantI know a guy who wanted to be buried next to a gadol, so when he was dying, he went right next to the grave and died there as a meis mitzva, so they would have to bury him there when they found him.
But, they outsmarted him. They brought someone else who was dying and was choshuv, and let that guy die even closer to the gadol as a meis mitzva, and then buried that guy there.
February 3, 2013 6:15 pm at 6:15 pm in reply to: Calling people with questionable smicha Rabbi #995532popa_bar_abbaParticipantI compromise by calling them maharat. It stands for Manhig Hilkhatit Rukhanit Toranit
popa_bar_abbaParticipantDear Hypocritical Fanatic,
Link us, I haven’t been following close enough.
Love,
bar Abby
popa_bar_abbaParticipantOf course, that is what I do.
I don’t twitch my face at all, and I say in a robotic monotone: I…am….upset.
Is that how you show emotion?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantSee also, the most recent yated shidduch forum (parshas yisro 5773).
DY: I’m claiming that the seminaries have convinced them that learning is the most important provision that needs to be provided for the family, so that is why.
Hakatan: Sorry, still sounds like a social sciences professor, and still doesn’t explain why that is so completely necessary that it is a deal-breaker. I mean, these girls are basically saying that it is almost impossible that there will be any other factors about a marriage that can be as important as this. They be crazy.
February 3, 2013 4:26 am at 4:26 am in reply to: Son Wants To Go Collecting In Limo On Purim #926141popa_bar_abbaParticipantI remember clearly one Purim we were collecting and these girls just approached us on the streets of Flatbush and asked us “can we check out your limo it looks so so cool” and of course we couldn’t say no…
You couldn’t say no? Or you didn’t want to say no.
It does not seem that it should be that difficult to say no in that situation. I would have said no quite easily, the same way I would say no if I was approached by any other zona.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantHakatan and DY are saying the same thing, and they are both saying the reason which I categorized as the “wrong” reason in my OP.
The reason they are wrong, as I argued before, is that while perhaps there is a benefit to “setting the tone” (whatever that means–you sound like a social sciences professor), it is unlikely that the benefit so outweighs the other benefits of marriage that you would consider this a deal-breaker. Yet, many many young women do consider this a deal breaker.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantThat you’re in witness protection
February 1, 2013 8:46 pm at 8:46 pm in reply to: Shidduch Crisis: Older Single Is Desperate, Parents Being Super Picky #925894popa_bar_abbaParticipantYou mind your own blazed business.
(Still drunk)
February 1, 2013 8:46 pm at 8:46 pm in reply to: A Complaint About The Terms 'Frei' & 'Shiksa' #1049036popa_bar_abbaParticipantOh, we are not nice to them. We are so mean to them.
Maybe after we gas 6 million of those shkotzim it will be even, and then we’ll start being nice.
Go take your retardedness elsewhere.
(Sorry, I’m drunk)
February 1, 2013 8:45 pm at 8:45 pm in reply to: Son Wants To Go Collecting In Limo On Purim #926124popa_bar_abbaParticipantYour premise is wrong. They are not full of kids at risk. They are full of normal kids.
I don’t know how you expect to raise a child when you are so clueless.
(Sorry for being mean, I’m drunk. Live with it.)
popa_bar_abbaParticipantYou know you’ll miss popa if you leave. Nobody really leaves, they just come back as a gilgul (or is that just joe?)
popa_bar_abbaParticipantWhat?
February 1, 2013 5:22 am at 5:22 am in reply to: Issue With Inconsiderate Men Davening On The Bus Every Morning #926296popa_bar_abbaParticipantI feel like there are two things going on here. Is the problem the davening, or is the problem the mechitza and separate seating?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantCome now squeak. Is being home early naarish? Is eating lunch together naarish?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantYou can’t really expect him to explain all of Harry Potter al regel achas (lehavdil) do you? 😛
Expelliarmus. ????? ??????
(Feel free to add your own answers to this question. This was just the first I thought of, but I may change it.)
popa_bar_abbaParticipant@GAW 😉
popa_bar_abbaParticipanthmmmmm. Ok, maybe you are right.
Admittedly, I have counseled people in the past that it is ok to make decisions based on prestige, if that will matter to them a lot in that particular area.
But I still think it is worth knowing when you are making a decision for that reason (as for any reason), so that you can appropriately balance it.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantSo for example, popa would be willing to stop making jokes on YWN if his other life goals required it.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantYou’re right about that.
But, it is still naarishkeit. And naarish means immature. Maybe we’re all a bit naarish in different ways, but it still is worth pointing out when we are doing something naarish.
Sure, it is important to feel important, and if you have low self esteem, you may need more things to feel important. But it is worthwhile to know when you are making life decisions based on that, so that you can weigh it appropriately.
January 31, 2013 8:38 pm at 8:38 pm in reply to: How Much Money Does the Israeli Government Give to Kollel Families? #927141popa_bar_abbaParticipantThis is true. Your relatives are fauxreidim.
popa_bar_abbaParticipanttee hee.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantGAW: lol, exactly.
