    ubiquitin: A lot of southerners moved away after they lost the civil war. North America (i.e. the US) no longer was a place they wanted to live in. Too much govt control. Could be they moved back to Europe were they originally came from doesn’t make it symbolic with racism.

    The same can be said of the Magen David. Being that the Jews had to wear it to allow for persecution during the WWII era, does that mean that the Israelis want their country persecuted therefore they use the Magen David on their flag.

    lesschumras: The civil war was a power struggle. The southern states seceded from the union by democratic vote but, Abraham Lincoln did not want to be a president on such a small country so HE started the war. The southerners had no intention of war. The big question is, did anybody really have the slaves in mind or were others who could not afford it just jealous.(like the wall street protesters). Maybe just maybe they used the concept of freeing the slaves in order to control the south, since the capital moved at that time from New York which was a blow to the north. That is how politics works nothing to do with morals and rights. One persons rights results in the other persons lack of rights.(that’s a topic in itself)

    Why are cars a necessity? Cars are not that old and people have been dating for thousands of yrs. How did people do it before cars?

    The parisian:Why do you think somebody without a car will not get married? plenty of people date without cars and get married- maybe not to the same type of person who has a car but there are those who don’t care so much about a car.

    The Confederate flag did not have to do with racism being that there were slaves of other ethnicities and races not just blacks.

    The Aztecs were not ‘Indians’. That is historically a factual mistake Columbus made when he reached Central American Islands thinking he reached what he called ‘West Indies’. The Aztecs were the ‘Aztecs’ a very religious tribe in north America NOT India. Even though Columbus’ mistake is still live and well, calling Native Americans ‘Indians’.

    TORAH really includes Neviim, Ksuvim, Mishnah, Talmud…. In Yirmiyahu it says ???? ??????? ????? ?????? . Rachmaniyos means they didn’t become barbaric despite ????? ??? or maybe according to you they did. If so, having the torah had no impact on their actions so what is your argument?

    According to PETA the whole concept of ‘Korbanos’ is barbaric. If you want to fight against the ‘barbaric war’ you will end up in hot water.

    If this is really so terrible and against the Torah, a religious jew will move away for the sake of Torah. But the fact that they give permission for people to choose doesn’t yet mean it is obligated to choose to do so. Since there is no obligation to choose to end life this way there is no fight.

    ubiquitin: It does say in Yom Kippur davening – “Tov Shelo Nivrah”- better whoever is not created. Instead of spending so much money to prevent abortion, why don’t they spend the money to try to educate people to separate and not get pregnant in the first place.

    That make me question is SHE interested or just feels she has to settle because of her brother? Because if she is not interested, how can she be a good wife doing her job willingly when she actually doesn’t want to be married to him. Some Sfardim and Ashkenazim are happily married but i guess they wanted it and not just pressured into it.

    My question though is, why does he davka want to be Ashkenazi? Why didn’t he look for a Sfardi? What does he have against Sfardim?

    What are true torah values and hashkafa seems debatable. My grandmother had slight dementia and a stroke which made it difficult for her to swallow and communicate. The hospital said there was no need to keep her so she was tube fed at home. With time she got better and was taken off the tube feeding and fed pureed food. She was able to communicate somewhat but not speak much. After approx. 1 1/2yrs when hatzalah was called for some reason there was a question whether to take her to the hospital or not. (what the question was i don’t remember) A Rov was consulted and she was not taken. She was niftar later that morning. This is a strictly chareidi rov.

    When blood transfusion were first introduced there were questions if it was mutar to give your blood away as well as organs. It is NOT a well accepted-self understood concept to use life support under all circumstances. There is a big difference between suicide/murder/killing and opposing life support. Not using life support is NOT killing!

    But in many cases it is becoming more common where hospitals actually do KILL when it comes to seniors or terminally patients. I’ve seen hospitals were there are many nice and caring people, AND there are also those who do it just as a job and source of income and care about nobody. There is always those few but they exist just about everywhere and they actually do things like not change tubes on ventilators and log they did, reuse the same needle from hrs earlier that was accidentally left there, dropping needles or gauze that needs to be sterile on the floor and using them anyway (unwrapped), even more horrifying use the same Q-tip to clean a tracheostomy from one patient to another. This can actually KILL! And they are actually the good ones saving the hospital money. OR are they in reality stealing the unused item.

    **If you don’t open your mouth too much they do it in front of you, and if you do open your mouth they just kick you out and do it behind your back!!!**

    This is standard practice I’ve witnessed.

    If the boy says he doesn’t know her and is nervous, then he was pressured in to it. That does NOT mean it cannot work, but your fears are understandable. This is the norm for some shadchanim but not necessarily the norm for chareidim. Not all shadchanim pressure but it clearly seems that this one did.

    Mazal Tov!

    The first question you have to ask yourself is, if you want to be jewish altogether? Why is this a question now? What changed?

    There is no such thing in judaism as conversion at bris. Conversion to judaism can only take place if the person is 13 or older.

    Are you just a jew hater and just trying to make everyone say what you want them to just to prove your point? Apparently you don’t realize what others do, that this scenario is totally impossible and makes no sense for a whole list of reasons to long to list. I gather you are a very bitter person who hasn’t found his shidduch and are looking to find fault in people in order to say “that’s why you’re not married”. I’m sorry for you and wish you lots of hatzlocho. Hope you find the right one soon!

    Independent does not have to mean living alone. My mother A”H made us all work summers in H.S. (in the city or in sleep-away camp) no difference, just earn $ and calculate how to spend it. Just the concept of not being spoon fed everything.

    FFBBT613, sounds like a painful situation. Seems like he’s ready for marriage and knows what he wants from life, and you just want his friendship. That’s why, as others mentioned, it’s not good to have a boyfriend yet. You need your personal growth. and that’s not an insult! That is a fact! EVERYBODY does. You asked in your 1st post “Is it ok to ask him to compromise?” the answer is NOT on his learning. Welcome to life! You’ll have to find somebody more suitable when your ready. Let go this friendship and find someone else. Ashkenazim and sefardim do not have the same mentality.

    FFBBT613,try to use a cheap shampoo, soap etc. try to eat fleishig only shabbos. if it doesn’t bother you now it shouldn’t bother you later either. It’s all what you’re used to and what you expect, what you think as necessity and what you can do without. it’s a personal thing. also why don’t you just get engaged officially, go to sem and get married when you come back?
