I do not agree with this. I do not think it is true that a teenage guy’s relationship with a girlfriend is so much different than an adult man’s.
And I do not think that is the reason to not have a boyfriend. And I certainly don’t think that is why Hashem wants you to wait “until they mature”.
Why am I being so strong about this point? I will tell you.
One very bad thing which parents and teachers in our world often convey, is that fault does not depend on whether you made a voluntary bad choice. This messaged is conveyed the first time you were punished for running around in shul like a child, and every time thereafter you were punished for doing things that children naturally and normally do.
This idea is very harmful, because we perceive Hashem as being like our parents, and if our parents punished us for things which were normal and we could not control, we imagine that Hashem will do the same. Hence the impossible perfectionism that infects many in our yeshivos, and hence most of the issues that people in our community deal with.
This theory you are espousing is really an outgrowth of that, and it is a harmful and incorrect theory. Hashem asks us to do what we can; he does not punish us for things which are beyond our control.
I don’t know if the methods for changing character traits are the same as the methods for stopping to listen to music.
writersoul:
I do not understand, or do not agree.
Why would you apologize after being bullied and framed and having done nothing wrong (if that is the case)?
If you are being wrongfully accused, you don’t apologize–you explain. Which is what they did.
It is not a chillul Hashem if people make up stories about us. It is not a chillul Hashem when the arabs falsely accuse us of things; it is not a chillul Hashem when people write protocols of the elders of zion. False accusations are not a chillul Hashem. And certainly do not demand an apology from us!
This notion that somehow we should apologize because people believe false stories about us, is outrageous and astounding to me. But you seem intelligent, perhaps you can explain it to me.
If they don’t make any sense, how can you tell whether if they’re wrong?
Oh, sorry for the misunderstanding. They are wrong because they make no sense.
That is, the words you are saying are internally consistent, but the theories you are espousing are ridiculous–that is, they make no sense. Therefore they are wrong.
It is like if I tell you that elephants can fly if they first drink beer because the bubbles make them rise. It is internally consistent, but the theory is ridiculous and makes no sense. So I can conclude it is wrong.
Do you agree?
You can sue him to replace the lawn if you wish.
Yes, these are not related.
It does not make a difference if they were right or wrong.If a chilul Hashem happens through you then there is something wrong with you no matter if you did anything wrong it came through you.
Again, IT DOESN’T MATTER if they were being complete angels.
Apologies from YoF board, hanhala, parents, students, janitors, etc. are in order on the same scale as the national press.
These comments make no sense, and are completely wrong.
Ok, you cannot force the two of them to marry anymore.
You can’t marry her to your eved ivri anymore.
mammele: I don’t feel like answering that question
I read those cases to stand for the principle that if the use is originally permissive, there must be “some distinctive and decisive act on [plaintiffs’] or [their] predecessors’ part indicating an exercise of exclusive right sufficient to notify the owner of the user and of the claim of right”.
So if the use here was permissive originally, you’d need that, sure. But if it wasn’t permissive, then you wouldn’t.
Yah, sometimes internet posting takes a thick skin. Gotta be confident in who you are, and can’t care to much what some anonymous weirdos on the internet think.
Seriously, if you knew how weird I was IRL, you certainly wouldn’t mind me chewing you out.
It is mostly not genetic. To the extent it is passed on through families, the environmental aspect of having a parent who suffers from depression is much more important.
Dr. Sorotzkin likes to tell about how he is frequently asked by people looking into a shidduch where the potential shidduch’s parent suffers from a serious mental disorder (so not depression, more like schizophrenia or BPD), whether it is genetic. He wonders why nobody ever thinks to ask what effect it can have on a child environmentally to have a parent who is schizophrenic.
Well now, now you’re introducing the next door neighbor’s reasons for what he is doing.
But you want to know why A is upset at you. A is upset at you because A thinks you made a deal with next door neighbor for next door neighbor to not allow A to park in their side of the driveway.
Maybe it was a good deal for neighbor, and maybe you made no deal with neighbor. But that is probably why A is upset at you.
So either tell A that you don’t care if A parks there, or live with A being upset at you.
If you want to know who I think is right, I can give an opinion on that also.
So perhaps this is what happened:
Your neighbor told this people that they need to stop parking there, and when they asked why, told them that you had said so.
So you should tell a that as far as you are concerned, they are welcome to park on the other side of the driveway which belongs to your neighbor. They certainly aren’t complaining about not having the right to park on your land (regardless of what it cost, I’m not sure why you would mention that).
If in fact you don’t want them parking on the other side, then that is why they are mad at you. It isn’t your land.
I don’t know what you mean by adversity. The elements of prescription are:
Continuous (no breaks)
Open and notorious (not hiding use)
Actual (actually entering and using)
Hostile (without permission)
It sounds like you think there is an element that it needs to also hurt the owner, but that isn’t so.
Also, for the record: ????? ??? ?? ??? ???? ???
They are upset at you. So that means the two of you have discussed the parking, or at least they have told you why they are upset. What have you said to them? Have they suggested they would park only on a’s side and you said they can’t?
Did you originally tell a to tell them they can’t?
Why not just use a vaporizer to run steam through the tobacco, and then you can extract the nicotice and taste without burning it? Like people do with marijuana.
I still think you’re giving it too much weight. You haven’t even mentioned GPA.
I’m gandering a 4.0 Touro GPA would be far better positioned across the MCAT scale than a 3.5 from Princeton.
Well sure, but the relevant question is whether a touro grad with a 3.85/35 is much worse off than someone from YU with the same numbers. And from what I understand, the answer is that any difference is much less substantial than the difference between the schools might suggest.
And your reference to law school proves the point. Because if there really is a strike in law school admissions against BTL’s, everyone agrees that there is no strike against Touro or any marginally normal college.
The reason you see great colleges represented in prestigious graduate schools is that students from those colleges are the ones who score high on the admissions tests.
ubiq: Where is your information from?
sadly, my analysis stays the same. worthless degree for getting into an even halfway decent med school. you will be competing with thousands of people from real colleges.
I do not think this is correct. A high GPA in pre-med from touro plus a good MCAT should get you into med school. Perhaps if you’re aiming for an MD-Phd from Harvard, then not, but a regular MD program I think you are fine.
A friend of mine had no problem getting into ivy dental schools from touro.
I think if my wife became not frum, I might be able to stay married. But if she became chovevei I would need to get divorced because then I’d be scared she would try to be machshil me. Because they are b’shita avaryonim.
brony:
lol
But really, for med schools the hard part is getting into any one. If OP can score high enough on the MCAT and has a good enough GPA to get into any med school, and wants to be a (gag) doctor, I’d say his options are much better than ED UVA.
Why not just slash their tires?
Was the ice cream cholov yisroel? If so we can assume it is not really milchig anyway.
Eh? What is the question? If you want to be a doctor, go for it.
brony: I don’t know better; is that so? I mean, if he is using it, then the neighbor can’t leave stuff there
Maybe you have an easement by prescription.
Have you been using the driveway openly and notoriously, continually, and uninterruptedly, and adversely?
For 10 years?
Cool, is it that easy to look up deeds? Nice. Then do it yourself.
But don’t give up if you don’t find one. It may be that the easement is created just by the common usage.
From a pharmacy with a prescrption. I just found it for 72 dollars online here http://www.planetdrugsdirect.com/Drugs/EpiPen/101049/.
It might cost more in a regular pharmacy though.
Does he even use the driveway? When popa is in town, Im betting he can’t access it anyway because of the car blocking it. So it makes sense to build over it.
I was going to get to that!
A neighborhood lawyer. Don’t need anyone fancy for this; just the local dude with a general practice. Even better if his specialty is real estate closings, cause then he’ll be familiar with title searches etc. I’ll be surprised if this costs more than a couple-few hundred buck.
He would want to first see if there is an easement recorded in the deeds. If there is, then you’re done. Even if there isn’t, the right might be created by the long term usage you both have done.
Personally, I find it highly unlikely that the houses and driveway would be built in such a way if there wasn’t an easement.
Then, during the trial, tell him he can’t handle the truth.
Is it an illegal driveway?
Also, nu, what did your lawyer say?
Put land mines in the driveway

I’m not saying any chiddushim; that’s the definition of science and the study thereof.
Yah yah, and trade in your car for a bulldozer
While there are differing opinions in Chazal on that point, in no way shape or form has anyone suggested “killing” anyone spiritually.
I don’t think it is unreasonable for someone to think that a large part of the purpose here is to change chareidi culture, and make it less fervently religious.
You might disagree, and reasonable people can disagree on this. But that side is not unreasonable.
Thank you; you are a mensch.
That is, you are positing that the existence of humans proves evolution. I am responding that since G-d exists and could make humans without evolution if He so chose, our existence cannot prove evolution.
Your response was that G-d could have chosen to use evolution.
Thus, you can no longer claim a proof to evolution. You can only claim a reasonable theory.
??? ?? ????
PBA- You are incorrect in saying that G-d would negate any proof of evolution, because evolution is a series of “accidents” that could have been set up by G-d.
That’s ok. You are mistaken when you use the word “proof”.
It most certainly is important to how we live today. When someone you love becomes infected with an exotoxin produced by a staphylococcus bacteria, scientists use their understanding of these organisms and the molecules they secrete to come up with a way to kill those bacteria and inhibit their further growth.
You are failing to understand the distinction I am drawing.
They have evolved into people. You are evidence of it. As am I. So I guess we can talk about it.
I certainly am not. I believe in G-d.
It is possible that evolution is consistent with G-d, but the existence of G-d definitely negates any proof to evolution from our existence.
And bacteria can’t evolve into viruses. Viruses are obligate intracellular pathogens that require a host cell’s DNA replicating or RNA translating machinery in order to “infect.” Bacteria are indepedant life-forms that can reproduce on their own.
Oh, ok. So then when they evolve into people then we’ll talk.
Yes, good point. If there is an easement, then you can sue his head off. Which will not help your relationship, but ha ha ha
Secular: I’m not debating the feasibility (in this thread). But what you refer to is not part of science, since it cannot be observed, and cannot be verified with experimentation. And is certainly not important for understanding how living things work today.
Pay him not to
Writer:
I could be wrong; I haven’t studied biology beyond the high school level.
I don’t know what you mean the Methicillin resistant staph has completely different properties than its non resistant cousin. I assume it has a genetic aberration within the range that is normal for what it aberrated from, and those are the ones that survived the methicilin.
That fits within what I call the obvious type of evolution. If I walk among my herd of goats and take out all the spotted ones, after a few years, there will be no more spotted ones in my herd. But they will all still be goats.
When your bacteria evolves into a virus, then we’ll talk.
