And besides: the americans who are protecting gay marriage are generally not the ones who care about our religious rights. It is quite the opposite.
Ok, I can’t find my mishma shaila, so I’ll make a new thread for it.

yitay: I feel like most people who believe so think it do so for normative reasons, as opposed to for strategic reasons.
Sam: I don’t know about that. Tell us.
Did I ever tell y’all my eggs mishmar shaila? I think I did, but can’t find it.
Because they don’t appreciate the morality of the Torah, and they substitute their own thinking of what is right and wrong. That is why.
Also, the Monsey chicken guy was somewhat of a lamdin; he must have also held like the shita that kosher birds do not require sh’chitah.
I had a much better limud zchus for him.
The patrons weren’t ???? anything because they reasonably relied on him and the hashgacha.
He didn’t do lifnei iver because they didn’t do anything wrong.
I think what we have here is “Popa’s Law,” an adage reflecting the fact that without a clear indication of the author’s intent, it is difficult or impossible to tell the difference between sincere decency and an exaggerated parody of decency.
lol yitay
Also:
I wasn’t there, and don’t know the exact circumstances, but I think that in most situations like that, the boys should not offer to help and the girl probably would not want the boys to offer to help.
Seriously: She was able to get up, no? It didn’t take her more than 30 seconds to wriggle out from under, did it? There were other females in the area who could have helped if she really needed it, no? And most seminary girls would be much more mortified if the group of guys had come over to help her up, no?
Gimme a break.
On the other hand, I was driving a couple weeks ago and saw an elderly lady trip on a curb when a fire engine came by, and I stopped my car in the middle of the street and ran out and helped her up. Because that was a situation where I should help and where she’d want me to.
Many yidin today were not m’kabel this g’zeira d’rabanon which not only means to them that chicken is pareve but also that chicken does not require sh’chitah.
What is the source that shechita doesn’t apply m’doraisah to birds?
I agree with Torah. I’d agree with Torah 613 times on this one.
Some people have suggested that I could use a filter.
It depends who you are marrying.
matza o motza

I teach kids to ask the lifeguard for the time. It keeps the lifeguards alert, and also makes them notice that kid.
What if you’re cracked and egg a cow?
The best I can do is tell you what my next six Hamodia articles are going to be about:
July 24 — a guy in England who makes jet-powered bicycles, strollers, and kettles
July 31 — My stint as a dummy at a Hatzolah training session.
August 7 — Scientists discovering why we itch.
August 14 — The construction we’re doing on the entranceway of our house.
August 21 — My experience as a mascot at my kids’ camp.
August 28 — A quiz that I give my returning students on the first day of school.
You’ll need better proof than that. Basically you’re telling us to believe its you because you write about camp on visiting day and school while doing back to school shopping, and itching during the 9 days. I could have guessed that with my eyes closed.
Is there any issur in setting up a saline and glucose drip? You wouldn’t be dehydrated or weak at all.
What if you shecht a cow and find an egg inside?
levaryeh: I haven’t had a chance to watch yet, but I’ve seen rave reviews. I hear the visuals are really cool. You guys are quite talented.

“It’s ok to criticize your country, but if you actually idolize other countries and want to be completely like them and part of them–why not just go?”
Great argument for aliyah.
It is. If Israel did not have religious issues, it would be very hard for me to justify not going.

What would Popa sound like if he’d have to churn out a column every week, as opposed to whenever he comes up with something?
This is the real point.
I think M Schmutter is hilarious. And I follow him on facebook. And read his articles when I have the opportunity. And definitely say all the mandatory divrei torah at my seder.
Toi: Thank you. But I’m not in the mood to argue with someone being “irrational” right now. The differences between those examples are huge and obvious. If Rational cares to discuss it, rational should point them out the huge differences and explain why they don’t make a difference. Then if I think there is any rational thought there, I’ll consider responding.
I’m voting Charlie to move to Canada. They have a shortage of doctors so I’m sure they would accept him.

Some good haskamos here. But I won’t have a chance to taste it for a few weeks yet.
rationalfrummie- you miss the point.
Exactly.
