another issue to publically mock someone whom many consider a great person even if they do not follow his beliefs or belive he is a god

I don’t agree. It is a mitzva to mock avodah zara.

Why don’t you just post his name, and everyone can find his contact info in the phonebook or whatever.

As I’ve said before: I support the CR policy of not facilitating exchanges of contact info.

you want a yeshiva college, or a college yeshiva?

Landers is both. Ner Yisrael is a college yeshiva.

And YU is Yeshiva College.

Besides, my life is private. I don’t need all the details available to every yenta and wanna be yenta.

So start one.

None of my friends would have put their info in though. Why should they?

Sorry, I’m not buying that. I know English because I like reading books, and that is also why I know stuff (because I read them).

You are severely misunderstanding what yeshiva guys are. There are plenty of yeshiva guys just like me, who know how to write just fine, and are very well informed about the world.

And just which hashkafos of mine lend to going to college?

Are you serious??? A) go out with the girl and then see if you like her personality and if you think she is attractive. Don’t base what you think is attractive on what you are supposed to think is attractive. Gosh.

That is a good argument, and I’d like to take the time to address it. Perhaps you’ll convince me, and perhaps I’ll convince you.

The problem with your theory is that of course I will think she is attractive–she will be a girl, and I have never seen one. But, once I see other girls, it is likely that I will not find her attractive at all anymore. Does that make sense?

I mean, imagine that you had never eaten cake, and you are given a piece of old stale pound cake from the bakery. You would eat it, and you would probably like it since it tastes pretty good compared to bread. But, then imagine that you are then given some good cake–you would realize that you don’t like the stale pound cake at all.

So aren’t I making a legitimate point?

PBA: It makes more sense than someone like you coming straight out of yeshiva.

I was posting here when I was just a regular yeshiva guy. I don’t think my posting has changed very much.

I & my spouse seem to know so many more single men than single women out there? Are we missing something? or are we out of the loop?

Very much out of the loop. There are multiple single girls for every single guy. A single guy who is a quarter normal can have a new date every day of the week, if he likes.

I didn’t say nuthin bout graduate school.

That kol koreh was not meant to convince guys to date younger; it was simply meant to make the promoters of the kol koreh feel good.

Think about it. If you want to convince guys to date younger, then you need to get the people who are advising them, to tell them that.

Who is advising bochurim when to start dating? Their roshei yeshiva. But most of the roshei yeshiva are not signed on the list. Yes, a few are, but mainly the list is trying to get the “gedolim”.

Well, when I make a big decision, I don’t poll the gedolim–I ask my rebbeim. They should have gotten all the roshei yeshiva of all the Lakewood feeders around the tri-state area to sign–since that is who the guys are asking. They probably did ask them, and they said no.

“Aristotle believed that objects fell to the ground because they were drawn to the center of the earth. It was only millennia later that gravity was discovered, and Aristotle’s beliefs were dismissed.”

ummmm….objects do fall to the ground because they are drawn to the center of the earth. (The reason they do so doesn’t have to do with something specifically located at the center of the earth, but they are attracted to the earth, and it is the center of the earth that they are pulled to because that is the center of mass.)

Right. And neither Aristotle nor the modern scientists have any idea why that happens. They are simply describing what they see happening, and calling it a name. Their current theory is that mass bends space through some undiscovered mechanism.

(Abraham discovered the mechanism actually, using the scientific method, but his research has fallen out of favor. He hypothesized there was G-d, and then tested his hypothesis by serving Him. His hypothesis was proven correct by divine revelation.)

In fact, there is no way to prove that mass really attracts other mass. It is just as possible that all the mass we know of happens to have this quality for some other reason, but there are types of mass somewhere which don’t have this quality.

I send them to battle school.

Indeed, it was my wooden cranniversary.

I just implant a chip like in Ender’s Game

Popa

I honestly think you are a guy or maybe a husband and wife or even a few different people sharing one account. I don’t buy it for one second that your account is used by only one person and that person is a girl.

Good. Neither do I.

Why does everyone think I’m a boy? I thought the football topic would put that to rest once and for all.

What does that make me?

Let’s make another point now. I think the more frequent problem is a woman marries a guy thinking that he is going to learn, and he doesn’t.

Maybe she thought he was going to learn in kollel, but he wants to work. Maybe she thought he would work and have a 2 hour seder every night, but he only does daf yomi. Maybe she thought he would do daf yomi and he does nothing.

I’m not telling you what to want and what to not want, and if this is so important to you, then maybe get divorced (I think that’s crazy). But, if you harass your husband about it, or stop respecting him because of it, you are going to ruin your marriage. So my advice really is to learn to respect him anyway.

I once upon a time saw them throwing rocks at cars on bar ilan on shabbos (at the bottom of the hill, by shmuel hanavi). They weren’t chareidim; they weren’t dressed like chareidim; they were shababniks.

That’s how I was taught in yeshiva. If something doesn’t make sense, you say how it doesn’t make sense. That’s how you figure out the truth.

If you read a tosfos and it doesn’t make sense, you say it doesn’t make sense. Then, you figure out how it really does make sense, or how you are misinterpreting it and if you read it correctly then it does make sense.

It does not make any sense to say that you think people who believe in it are harmed, but that you don’t believe in it. Because if you think people are harmed by it, that means you do believe. So the way you quoted the rov makes no sense.

Perhaps he said that it only harms people who think about it a lot, or only people who do lots of stuff to avoid it. That could make sense and not be contradictory.

You tell them via the CR.

To yell at her husband.
