"The two languages are going to be mixed in a much more lyrically intimate way, sort of a "Yinglish"
Already there. It's called Yeshivish. Here's the translation of the Gettysburg Address:
Be'erech a yoivel and a half ago, the meyasdim shtelled avek on this makom a naiya malchus with the kavana that no one should have bailus over their chaver, and on this yesoid that everyone has the zelba zchusim. We're holding by a geferliche machloikes being machria if this medina, or an andere medina made in the same oifen and with the same machshovos, can have a kiyum. We are all mitztaref on the daled amos where a chalois of that machloikes happened in order to be mechabed the soldiers who dinged zich with each other. We are here to be koiveia chotsh a chelek of that karka as a kever for the bekavodike soldiers who were moiser nefesh and were niftar to give a chiyus to our nation. Yashrus is mechayev us to do this... Lemaise, hagam the velt won't be goires or machshiv what we speak out here, it's zicher not shayach for them to forget what they tued uf here. We are mechuyav to be meshabed ourselves to the melocha in which these soldiers made a haschala--that vibalt they were moiser nefesh for this eisek, we must be mamash torud in it--that we are all mekabel on ourselves to be moisif on their peula so that their maisim should not be a bracha levatulla-- that Hashem should give the gantze oilam a naiya bren for cheirus-- that a nation that shtams by the oilam, by the oilam, by the oilam, will blaib fest ahd oilam.

I don't deny that you're Jewish. It's just a tragedy, is all.
My dog Shana Punim used to swallow them whole in 3 gulps. Baby bunnies she would swallow without chewing.
Funny that these cute sweet creatures will kill just for the fun of it.
Of course, cats are worse, they're into torturing their prey when bored.
Tell that to the next vegetarian that you meet...
Anti-durbism is not anti-semitism. I'm just saying that like Jesus, I wish he weren't Jewish.
He's not even self-hating, he's just a traitor.
And BTW, Israel's Rabbinate is very opposed to the current Law of Return. It was a major mistake by the early Zionists who also couldn't handle their pintele Yid.
Want Israel to use the Halakhic definition of a Jew to be used to determine who is entitled to Return.
So Derbig, tateleh, what happened? Was a Rabbi mean to you, or did you just want to shtupp shiksas (like me)? C'mon man, embrace your inner Jew, give up this narishkeit, put on T'fillin and start doing the Mitzvahs you know you want to do...
There're lots of people I wish weren't Jews, besides the 2 above I mentioned. Roseanne, Meyer Lansky, Bugsy Segal, Bibi Netanyahu, Norman Finklestein, Noam Chomsky, the Jewish neo-cons, all up there. That's not anti-Semitism.
refers to the Conversion process. A goy who Converts to Judaism is considered a nolad, a new born (in most ways), after s/he dunks him/herself in a Mikva (spiritually clean water). Who's copying who?
It's just a shame Derbig, that your obvious passion and intelligence is wasted on such nonsense. I pity you.
you're always a Jew. There's no undo. Don't worry Derbig, you can always make Aliya, even if you're married to a shiksa.
There're no Jews to waste.
was 20 years younger than his sister. When my Great-Grandmother's milk dried up, his sister (my GreatAunt) wound up nursing him. While everyone thinks it's strange today, think about it: would you let your baby brother die?
The funny thing is, AFAIK, a woman's milk supply will expand to fit the demand, assuming good nutrition and water.
My point is that humans are carnivores, naturally. We are designed to eat meat, just like the animals we love best.
Amylee doesn't like me because I call her out on her bullshit.
of France was Jewish.
I guess we overachieve everywhere.
I can't wait until there's another Jewish Pope. LOL!
I learned something today. Thanks.
Good boy.
Another heterosexual male who thinks Tina Fey is smokin' hot (especially as Sarah Palin).
The skit didn't even make me smile. It was kind of like Stephen Colbert's skit before the National Press Club. They would have been funnier in the New Yorker.
that won't work in this country, because the mythology of guns is so overwhelming.
It doesn't matter whether it's the right thing or not, if there is an overwhelming demand, someone will create supply.
Which see, illegal drugs.
Stewart's a comedian, Cramer's an obvious buffoon. C'mon!
Funny, none of those men have ever read the Bible. It's in Hebrew, and the solely Christian part is in Greek.
At last, the Republican Civil War is approaching...
Actually, it is in, in Exodus 21:22-23. And actually, from there we learn out that according to Torah, a fetus does not have the status of a human being until it takes a breath.
Not that Torah approves of abortion (it doesn't), but it doesn't hold that it is murder.
FYI.
because the consequences of sex are so asymetrical. Men never put their feet in stirrups because of a sexual encounter. 'Nuf said.
It's time to stop looking for sexual equality and "fairness" between men and women because it's never going to happen. Our physicalities are different, our hormones are different, our brains are different. Apples and oranges are more similar.
Don't. Or be very, very careful. You can't predict the holes and bugs and costs in advance of any programming project. EMR will be different in that it will be worse than normal.
For example, most people are fully trained in paper technologies by 3rd grade or so. Pen and paper work the same in every language, all over the world. EMR, not so much.
