    Deep Thoughts: The Jewish Race

    In the way you believe affinity by birth? Or in the way that the different standard is not what is meant either? ChavaK, I was actually just trying to was explain your answers from a different angle in order to lead into questions I thought might follow. Reading it over now after your comments...

    Deep Thoughts: The Jewish Race

    In the simplest terms I would view the Jewish race as nation amongst nations, including all people who are united by identifying with the group and connected to the roots in someway. No none of these things...a race is a unbodied nation. It's a type of citizenship. I would say it ridiculous to...

    Is philosophy useful ?

    I would argue it is essential, but that it significance is diminished by where it sits in our perception, similar to how motivation takes a back seat to ability/circumstance when taking about great achievements. Creativity, liberty of intellect, freedom from the box...ect. Would Einstein...

    Need Opinions

    Yes, and it is those similar experiences I am pulling from. It is a common enough thing for me (to make tentative plans and give a delayed call back) that over the years I have had a variety of reactions by different people ranging from a total flip out to people who view it as I do. These days...

    Need Opinions

    mwb, So? From my take, he was tired after having a 3 hour appointment and was deciding if he needed to cancel the plans (5:30-6:30), got a frustrated phone message, so he had to think even harder about what he was going to say, and called after all was thought out (I remember a time in my...

    Need Opinions

    Ok Personally, I don't see the big deal about “calling you” either. From my point, you were over reacting, and you only had the right to ask him “next time will he give a time or call you because you were waiting”, not tell him he was in the wrong…I assure you the...

    "Character"

    I would say I lean more your way, because I certainly understand “character” as something far deeper than a group of actions or habits, which I agree is often what the word is reduced to. However, I am also one of those people, who understands for example “honest” as describing someone’s...

    You and your optimal Christian pair

    Yeah sorry those descriptions are based solely on probability (so they easily may not match where your at). As for those intrested in finding your enneagram type, I would use this one, the other link seemed fishy to me: http://www.enneagraminstitute.com/dis_sample_36.asp Oh and to save you...

    Ethics in dating: Pursuing someone already in a relationship(non-marriage)?

    I must say I sense much hostility from you, do you just mean to be forward or do I offend you?(You have called me a player, a term I find very offensive, so if “my type” offends you I encourage you to lay it down) Now, you’ve laughed that I have had more than one relationship...

    You and your optimal Christian pair

    LOL, probably because it is, if your not conformable and still open I’m still curious to the question, so feel free to use whatever description you want. Btw, I have to ask: you have something against personality types? if so, I would be even more interested to hear why. Some Enneagram site.

    Ethics in dating: Pursuing someone already in a relationship(non-marriage)?

    As to the question about not lasting, I am sad to say that is because of me and my issues, but I assure you I have been seeking to remedy this over the last while and have been on a vow of "isolation" to be sure of a clear prospective(I still don’t think I am or was a player and I would...

    You and your optimal Christian pair

    You and your optimal Christian pair It obvious that there are different types of personalities within our faith. I am curious, which are you and what type are you optimally looking to marry(G-d grace and discernment willing)? Also would you give a few suggestion to your optimal pair on how to...

    Ethics in dating: Pursuing someone already in a relationship(non-marriage)?

    I’ve already had this(a few times), and it part of what makes me so confused. The reason I don’t scamper with my tail between my legs is because where I grew up, we learned to deal with this kind of thing very early on, so I don’t care if were talking about a Russian drug tsar...

    Ethics in dating: Pursuing someone already in a relationship(non-marriage)?

    Thank sis, I'll have to think this one over deep. ( :eek: at what it could mean) Why oh why are women so not strait forward about all this? :(

    My questions for the guys

    Certainly, that is unless she is a clean freak, because then I’ll be forced to do the smart thing and keep to my own areas(the workshop/kitchen) :) Considering I’m not going to work more than three day a week, I think it would be wonderful, as we could work something between us for...

    That highly encouraging to hear Macrina, now if only more girls followed :) I hope this isn’t too personal, if so just ignore, but have you even had to face the issue(if so,was it tough)? I believe you however I have my reservations (given my experience in the matter) quite frankly...

    Ethics in dating: Pursuing someone already in a relationship(non-marriage)?

    When I was younger it would have bothered me just to have another guy after the same girl(so its relative), however at this point in my life, I don’t think I would care, its her decision not mine, so unless they are stepping over boundaries(such as clear disinterest) I laugh and encourage...

    Ethics in dating: Pursuing someone already in a relationship(non-marriage)?

    Originally I never dated anyone unless we were friends first. So I had my ways of knowing from observation, but that said, it didn’t take very long once the line was crossed for it not to matter how strong the relationship was, and now my loyalty to the guy at hand seems to be the only...

    Ethics in dating: Pursuing someone already in a relationship(non-marriage)?

    So what do you think? Very wrong, mostly wrong, sometime right, fair game? Please explain(justify). My story: When I was younger I use to believe that it was wrong in all cases to “steal another man’s girl”; however, this in combination with having a very slow process of starting...
