If only. The only truth in the above post is that it was the first response to the Op
😛
It’s unfortunate how hard a person will work to put a negative understanding to a comment that, when left in context, was really positive.
Looks like someone really misread a post or two. We get blinded sometimes by our own prejudices…
Joseph, check the URL. I’m pretty sure it doesn’t say frumteens.
Then I guess we should all think twice next time about offering advice!
Those are nice thoughts but that isn’t how medicine works, nor the emergency room. And many, many insurances don’t work that way either.
Well you must have some cadillac insurance. Rare is it that you can get a green light for a specialist to look at a toe and determine if it requires ice, antibiotics or an x-ray.
Pharmacists are NOT trained to give medical advice and they would be 100% wrong to diagnose anything. They are trained to match symptons and diagnoses to medications but they are still not the ones choosing the medications in the end, it is the doctor who does that too. I ask my pharmacist all kinds of medicine related questions and trust their knowledge more than the doctors but I cannot fathom anyone asking their pharmacist a diagnostic question nor should they be answering one.
And Health – I am surprised you would even be agreeing to that!!!!!!!!
LB, it’s not about the CR being unpleasant. My job as a mod is to keep this room free of things that are not halachically appropriate or are spiritually unhealthy. When people spend time in places devoid of Torah and soak up the culture (which is NOT our culture) and then proceed to spill it over into other places, such as here, it presents a problem. If I had started deleting or editing the +1s, I am sure I would have been accused of all sorts of censorship and other things. However it is an old argument. People have become so accustomed to things that were never acceptable that they can’t understand what is wrong with them anymore. There are times that the only way to stop the worser things is by putting a foot down on the more benign things. This isn’t about my honor, this isn’t about me at all.
It is not always clear which benign things are truly benign and which things are deceptively appearing to be benign. But as far as I’m concerned, there is nothing benign about facebook and it is not a door I wish to open. Whether or not you know people who use it appropriately is not the point. We do not mod for individuals here, we mod for the rov.
LB -That very much missed the point we were making. Facebook does not affect all of us and some of us would like to keep it that way. I work very hard to keep facebook ‘behavior’ and references to a minimum here if at all and was sorry this became so prevalent. And to say we are complaining about “point systems” because we are unhappy with the use of facebook’s particular method of denoting agreement or compliment is a bit of a stretch.
Regarding the rest of your post, I’m not sure I understand what you are trying to say.
The whole +1 thing is very ambiguous anyway.
And annoying to an extent. And I don’t like it because I’m sick of people bleeding their facebook life into my filtered one.
Shopping, your teacher isn’t stupid. Please don’t jeopardize your standing in seminary for the curiosity of some of the posters.
Is it allowed in bais din? Dayanim are not doctors.
Whether or not she has reason to end it all, why hasn’t she left? Sounds like there is more to this story. But Lenny, I do not understand why you would stay with her and I think the sooner you give her a get, (and get help for the PTSD) the sooner you can find a wife who wants you and will treat you well.
I think he meant this “ordeal”. As opposed to it having been an issue brought up over the years.
**beep beep** calling meno
k cup – above the calves is like calling a face “above the neck”. The claves end at the knee, after that it is a thigh. Very different body part.
If the discussion is about calves, how does that allow knees?
Koheles
What part of asking for credibility is “not being nice”, and what part of being female exempts supporting comments when called out on them? That is somewhat insulting to our other female posters .
You seem to be drastically mistaking the issue. How does swimming before puberty compare to instruction on liberal issues? They are clearly stating that everyone swims together but if you are uncomfortable to swim mixed gender, then as soon as gender difference comes in to play (post puberty) we will freely exempt you.
For a public school, this rule doesn’t seem like forcing anything on anyone.
papper – Happy 10 year anniversary! Thanks for stopping in!
Let’s hope nobody who’s sincerely forgotten has insult added to injury by the insensitivity of that post.
That ain’t at all what he said.
How do you know she isn’t boycotting marriage therapy becase you haven’t started individual therapy? I think you should have jumped to do whatever you can to show you are invested.
I also think she sounds like she is acting like a sore loser – boycotting therapy because she didn’t get her way.
Whichever way is the truth – she doesn’t sound like a team player. Even if she’s wrong, there’s nobody there to work with. I have a friend who did this to her husband for a year until he moved out. She wasn’t right, but she still “won” because you cannot have a marriage with one person.
Because when you love someone, respect them or revere them, you want to know they are taken care of.
But how many of those we know are ???? ????? We are not privy to the information. And we are left to the judgments based on precisely the information that is not the true basis to judge.
Exactly! like assuming an internet addict is probably someone who watches movies or is openly an “internet user”
Another reason why it’s a good idea to try to go out with guys who don’t watch movies or use the Internet if possible.
I’ll assume you are joking. These are those guys. On paper.
These problems are not irreparable!
oh really? Try being a 20 year old bais yaakov girl married to a guy who has gotten all his ideas online
I will not elaborate.
I said the drastic increase, and in 75% of cases around me it was absolutely the case.
I think you are all forgetting the major reason for the drastic increase in divorces and the irreperable nature of the problems:
internet addiction-specifically inappropriate website
k, I thought so, just checking.
Why? Checking for what?
Not sure what the point was of your first 2 paragraphs
The point of the first two paragraphs was the part you disagreed with that you were trying to say he didn’t say…just saying
I have no idea if it would work or not but I assume they know what they are doing and if something is a good idea they are probably doing it.
I think this is an excellent topic. I have found the same thing to be true for myself and am very frustrated by it. Sometimes when my sons go to mincha I am wondering if they made it to their seat before davening ended.
Curious to hear what others feel without pointing to individual shuls or neighborhoods.
mw13, any reason for all the cut and pasting of articles? Perhaps you would like to share some thoughts or opinions?
CT, I agree wholeheartedly.
Puff the kosher dragon
No, lightbrite, that would not be the correct way to paraphrase what I wrote.
There are actually many and I cringe at the insult to them.
Seriously? My pleasure.
It is both a parent problem and a kid problem. If someone uses a leash/harness to safely give a child space, that is very different from using a leash/harness in place of teaching a child safety, boundaries or to follow directions. Or in place of them learning it. It becomes a problem when it is arbitrarily used just because it’s easier. Same goes for videos, babysitters, candy, pacifiers etc.
Why do we have to worry about any of them?
There is nothing wrong with using a harness if there is understanding that it is a red flag.
So after years and years of misrepresenting Torah you finally found someone who fell for it. I guess you could call that a statistic.
It wasn’t about defending you or not defending you. There were people who did not agree with your interpretation of the halacha and defended halacha just as you did.
They are not obligated to agree with you and if you keep insisting that they are wrong even though they have brought proofs then you will get an argument. I think people tried to be kind at first but became frustrated at your insistence that they are wrong. It is wrong to consider that a personal attack, or people not defending you.
“I would have no problem with Abba politely telling me that he thinks it is not MSR and giving me a reason why and then his reading my explanation of why I disagree.”
Sounds like he did just that with his very first post: lilmod ulelamaid _ I am sorry you feel that it’s Motzi Shem Ra. There is a Toyales a purpose for my comment. The fact that someone knows the party does not make the comment False and the fact that there was a purpose removes the prohibition.
If you picked different names so that people would not have all the pieces then please say so and these names can be deleted.
Sage advice, as always, but honestly it isn’t bothering me. Better a bicker between two posters than jabs and insults to factions of Jews, ya know?
😉
Is addressing people in this way part of that teshuva process that brings moshiach? Honest answer…
