I beleive it is also correct.
I guess poetry isn’t very popular in the new generation. Shame on you!
I just noticed my link dissapeared. I used to be linked to a thread….
At least when I click on my SN it goes to my profile.
When did this happen?
No one should leave the CR based on what random people online think. End of thread.
I promise this is the 5th or 6th “Don’t leave the CR thread” I’ve seen.
No matter what anyone’s opinion is on specific posters is irrelevant.
Thanks, I haven’t seen you around in a while!
person1 I just got a smartphone and I didn’t download any games and social media. I had a friend lock the appstore, youtube, and browser. I also requested all my friends not to send me any videos on whatsapp.
I only have important apps.
Speaking of apps, I thought the CR had an app? Or is this just a running gag for the past 3 years?
Plus I am not a school child. Just because I am younger than you doesn’t make me a child.
absan: People come to this forum to chill out and relax. They use it to express their creativity, and have some fun. So I suppose a lot of threads could be considered “immature”. This is a public yeshivish forum- what were you expecting?
A locked area like on imamother? This isn’t the type of forum to talk about sensitive subjects. It’s just a place to relax and have fun. You want to see more interesting things? Well start a thread about something you’d like to see.
#OMG #TotesAgree
I agree with Neu… and Syag. I’ve been here for a few years and in the most recent year my threads sound like a 5 year old’s thought.
Example for a thread “Monkey’s are the worst”
OP: We went to the zoo and the monkey ate my hat.
Comments: “Football is the worst”
“I tried eating a hat once”
“Why is football bad?”
“Where did you buy a new hat”
“I love monkey faced shaped cookies”
“Football is the stupidest (goes on rant about football)”
“You don’t love Harambe then”
“See soccer is worse than football”
“Why?”
“I think that laama’s should have rights to vote”
Although I enjoy funny sarcastic comments I’m ussually in the wrong time zone to make it in during the conversation, and Ihave np patience reading 3 pages when I wake up in the morning.
I write my opnion, sometimes get into a conversation, but that’s it.
I was kicked out of my high school for a few months and ended up going back too. It isn’t easy.
Thanks. It’s a shame I didn’t make the deadline….
What can I do? One day bezrat Hashem I hope it can be in a real CD
I was good friends with a few posters who have left by now 🙁 Anyway 2 managed to get my email through various sites, and recognizing my style of writing lol. I write for so many places, it was bound to happen.
Bump guys.
I don’t think I ever posted some of my poetry here….I think it has been posted anywhere BUT the CR.
I was writing this for the Lipa contest put I didn’t make the deadline 🙁 Here it is:
from the battle
I’m just so weary
here’s a paper
on it got all my dreams
how I wanted to be right
how I wanted to win this fight
how I wanted to uphold hashem’s glory
I’m dreaming again
It’s a “what if” game
how should I live
things that I can’t explain
When the lights go out at night
I’m left alone with the monsters I fight
and I feel so weak, lost, and lonely
CHORUS:
you take my hand and show me in an instant
how it is that I’m a daughter to you
and what it means to be a jew
and you take me hand and banish the distance
it’s now so vivid and clear
that I’m standing right next to you
I close my eyes
wishing it would all melt away
keeping only the good
that from the battle I have gained
push it all into his arms
and i know he wont be alarmed
as I turn my back, walking away calmly
Foot after foot
I keep walking
I get up again and again
and I keep singing
I’ll yell out hashem’s name
I just want to connect
and burn the distance away
CHORUS:
you take my hand and show me in an instant
how it is that I’m a daughter to you
and what it means to be a jew
and you take me hand and banish the distance
it’s now so vivid and clear
that I’m standing right next to you
If “if” is what you wanted
it would be reality
the only thing that in exsistense
is me
CHORUS:
you take my hand and show me in an instant
how it is that I’m a daughter to you
and what it means to be a jew
and you take me hand and banish the distance
it’s now so vivid and clear
that I’m standing right next to you
Is this human only thread? Or are female and male trolls allowed here too?
Person1, you know yourself best and welcome to the posting area of the CR!
Do what you think, if you have had that many bad dates with extrovert girls than go after introverts. But I think if something is redt to you, it’s min hashamayim. If everything else is a good match I suggest you go out with her. Certainly don’t look for extraverts, but if one comes to you I think it’s hishtadlus to check it out.
Yes they do answer back. 🙂
Go mods, you rock! When I first came here I also got upset a lot. It takes a while to learn the ropes and figure everything out…
Of course my first post wasn’t edited. The mods did that as a joke. actually it was In any case the mods do so much work, they edit long megilos and save people from hearing loshon hara.
And most have a sense of humour too. 🙂
I beleive it says in the rules that if your post was edited or rejected, do not ask why because they don’t have time to explain. Sometimes when I am really annoyed at the mods I email them. 🙂
I have yet to get all the mods emails…but I have a few
This whole thread cracks me up. Oysh it stinks to be on a different time zone than everyone else. 🙁
The mods don’t write why every post is deleted because it would take up a LOT of time. I suggest all the newbies should read the rules of the CR twice more.
By joining an online forum you are subjugating yourself to it’s rules. It likes going to a high school after reading the takanon then complaining about it. I know there is no other “high school” but still, then don’t go on a forum at all.
Peace bro.
edited!
@sadgirlygirl: I don’t think you are depressed, perhaps you are just a teenager. Although a lot of people have their “teen moods” till 18, I know plenty or people who get them till their early 20’s I also know of people who finished them at 16/17 while got them as young as 10.
Some of the things I do when I’m in a rut is I will do the things I love. What is something you love to do? A sport? Dancing? Art? Make it a priority to take classes, make time for it, etc.
It also helps to find out what your way of expression is. Some people express themselves through writing, art, talking, dancing. I personally express myself best when singing. Once you find that one thing that just makes you feel like you are expressing your truest self, you will feel better too.
Another thing is to give yourself time to calm down, wind down, and internalize things going on in your life. During the day, and before bed make time to just be alone, breathe, think with yourself, get a coffee. Let life slow down a bit.
Good Luck!
In Israel most people don’t have cars anyway, beaides for the fact that it is expensive to get a car, and a lisense. There’s an old joke about how it’s cheaper to fly to the US for the summer, get it there, fly back, convert it and it will still be cheaper than doing a lisense here.
It’s very popular by the israeli’s. I have never understood it, one of my best friends is israeli and I once told her that no one buys grape anything in the US. When I explained this was because it tastes so bad she said “I guess people here have different taste buds”
I still can’t understand it…
Its about holes. 🙂
My mom is super strict about getting a lisense. When her sister was 16 she crashed her car and they almost amputated her arm. She was the driver.
I don’t think you should get it until 20. I know it’s cool and all, but you have enough to worry about when yu are a teen.
lilmod, I beleive it’s assur. I remember learning about it, I don’t know what sefer it is in but it also says it’s assur to walk between 2 dogs in the same place….
I know a few sems on neve campus for ffb.
Now I will look out for a frum phsycologist that authored tons of books….lol
Syag: good to know there’s a free phsyoclogist on the CR. lol
Boys and girls shouldn’t wait for each other. But if it’s a boy waiting for a boy or girl for girl it’s okay until like 20/21 because ain ma lasot.
Sadgirly: In Israel American israeli’s can get married between 18-23. At this point we aren’t american nor israeli so it’s just like “whatever goes!”
lilmod, you are a girl? Lol, and all this time I was positive you were a boy….
Syag I beleive it’s a waste of time to argue with sparkly’s strong opinion over here. If I wanted her to see my side I think I’d need to sit down with her and have a long long long conversation.
Sparkly: there are many killers that are frummer than people who “pretend” they are frum. C’mon, there’s a type of everything for everything out there.
People if you don’t believe in media or other addictions you have not seen anyone with it. People who ditch school, hang out with boys, just to watch bad movies. People who have run away from home, spent all their money on a smartphone, and is living in the streets wherever there is free wifi, a charging port, and finding money every day for food.
You have not seen the people who have divorced, thrown off the yoke of Judiasm, destroyed their neshoma, attempted suicide multiple times when their inapropriate movies were taken away.
IF not living without _____ brings you to the point where you want to commit suicide and cannot go through your day at all, or even wake up means YOU ARE ADDICTIED.
Syag: she isn’t a troll, just a misguided girl who honestly sees no other side than her opinion.
Girls should not be laughing at screaming levels, nor shreiking, nor be standing right in middle of the road, but it’s a free country. You aren’t crazy, I also don’t think it’s tniyus for young men to do the same behaivors.
Agrred- lilmod
Bezrat Hashem bishaah tovah! For me, you, and sparkly. Who knows, we might be hearing engagements announcments soon.
Look, spiritual safety is defenetly more important, but to do our tafkid we NEED to be healthy. One isn’t better than the other. We need a good dose of each.
GYE considers it an addiction, it sends out the same chemical message as you do when you are addicted to smoking. So whatever you want to call it- the same thing goes on in the brain.
I personally know someone who was addicted to the radio. Addiction means being dependant on something to live your life. Not being able to survive without it.
Sparkly- so if you grow up smoking from age 7 you aren’t addicted?
There is a chemical reaction that happens when you watch movies. That ame chemical reaction happens when people do drugs, smoke, or get addicted to anything else. If you can be addited to shopping, why not movies?
You can get addicted to movies just aw easilly as smoking. And the damage caused with movies can last forever-in the next world if you don’t fix it. It’s been scietifically proven that it is an addiction just like smoking.
I am the last person to generalize, I’m not at all saying that everyone here is like _____ and everyone there is like ____. It’s more about in the USA there aren’t many kids whom have never seen a television or a computer, and in Israel there exists a large community of such people. Of course it’s not everyone, and not the majority-but compared to the ammount of such people in the US the idea of someone NOT knowing is just assosiated with israelis which makes sense again because although not nearly everyone here is like that, I’m sure you can agree there are many more people here than in the US.
There are so many people like that compared to the US to the point where people in the US such as sparkly find it extremely hard to see the reasoning or the existence of a group of people that large. It just sounds so foreign.
So I’m not trying to buy into stereotypes, I’m just trying to explain why these stereotypes exist. I was just trying to explain to her that there are people like that and it’s okay.
Boys here smke, your boys have internet. Everyone is struggling with something else. The boys here have never seen a television or a computer in their life.
I’m not trying to put down americans or isrealis, or say that all of them are more mature than the other. It’s just a known fact that a good bunch of american israelis are, up to the point where they will not put together americans and israeli girls of the same age. It’s a different lifestyle that makes people different in different. Americans are one up on israeli’s in many other places.
In any case, I am aware it is the 9 days. My large rant post was not about saying all charedi people don’t go to college, but guess what, a lot don’t. All I’m saying is that you don’t know what goes on over here and neither do I know what goes on there, although I lived in the US for a majority of my life.
Basically, don’t generalize people. Let everyone do what they want, you think college is important- than go. You think it’s going to ruin your ruchniyus- DON’T GO. You are ready to marry at 17- then do it! You want to wait-so WAIT!
Let everyone be themselves sparkly. I understand your reasons, I don’t agree with them, nor think they are fit for me or my friends-but if they are for you and your friends than WAIT, then do whatever it is you want/have to do. I don’t want to put anyone down chas vishalom.
But if my friend is ready to marry at 17, who are you to tell her she ISN’T? You don’t know her, her mentality, her maturity level, where she grew up, and she may have some different values than you-and that’s okay. As long as you accept that because we are a very diverse nation, we all choose different paths, it’s ok.
Rak Ahavah.
That’s exactly why you can’t generalize everyone and say, “nope, this idea can’t work for ANY JEW”
BTW: It’s not just me that thinks that, the seminaries won’t accept girls whom live here because of that, and every single person I know who lives here agrees.
My main point here that no one understands is the ALL OF KLAL YISROEL ARE DIFFRENT. My biggest peeve is when people generalize, instead of saying “marryig at 17 can’t work” say “marrying at 17 can’t work for ME. Or for the people I hang around with”
– Not everyone beleives in college from the get go, as there are modern ideas
– Not every girl wants to make parnassah, I know many people that feel strongly it is the mens job and if they get something, they are workingto get out, something for a few hours that is easy and takes little time to learn
– Not everyone wants to live a life of a doctor or lawyer. If you husband is in kollel ALL day or working all day, and you are a DOCTOR who is going to watch the neshomas Hashem gave you? A babysitter you won’t trust to take care of your diamond ring but trsut to take care of your neshomos?!?
– Not everyone is on the same maturity level
– Spiritual leevel
– Not everyone needs a 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom house. Some will live in a2 bedroom with 10 kids, and that’s okay.
-Not eveyrone finds being single “fun”. Some people think it’s a waste of time. Some people don’t have the luxury or going out for finacial reasons, or maybe it just isn’t done, or people feel life was meant for something more than having an extra year to travel.
– Not everyone thinks marriage is friendship (the past few issues of AMI covered this topic, it ISNT friendship)
– Not everyone need to watch movies, know about movies, or have tons of romance in their lives. Reality check, boys aren’t romantic. Not for hours on end. God didn’t make them that way.
Please, all I’m saying is there are different, mentalities, people, worlds apart. So don’t judge. Don’t generalize. Ever
Thread closed.
Yes I can. Plus it takes 2-3 years for you to have everything set in….you may only have a kids in the end of the 1st or 2nd year…
I am straight out of high school, but again age is relative. Some people have blissful life up until marriage and even afterwards and some people have a hard life from the moment they are born. In any case, I don’t travel now, and my friends and I don’t “go out” as much as you americans do. Israeli girls in general are known to be more mature than americans.
Seminaries often compare shana gimmel (sometime sshana bet) americans to (american) israelis coming out of high school. They are correct, and this is the basis for why american seminaries won’t accept girls that made aliyah if they’ve been here for over a year.
I don’t know where you come from but here, we don’t just have fun. Most girls pay for all their clothing starting from 10th and 11th grade, also for school supplies too. If girls want to travel to Europe, they have to pay for it all themselves. A lot of girls also are in charge of putting their younger siblings to bed, dressing them, and doing a lot more than teenagers do in the USA. Plus what is the point of having some etra years of fun? That’s not your tafkid in this world. It’s a waste of time.
