Chag Shavuot Sameach,
This post only has comments so I request that you read the whole post.
I made aliyah in 2000 when I was 18. I went to ulpan for a year in Haifa and then Mechinat Olim at Hebrew University for a year. After a year at Bar-Ilan (Major in Jewish History and minor in European History.), I came back to The United States when I was 21 because the Israeli college level academic Hebrew was too hard and the undergraduate level is like the graduate level in The United States. When I was 21, I started community college in Pennsylvania in September, 2003, and graduated with an Associates Degree in Liberal Arts in May, 2006. I started a 4 year university in the end of August, 2006 where I major in General History. Now I am 25.
Also, the Jewish History classes I took at Bar-Ilan are not from a religious perspective and at times are even heretical and anti-religious. Now I am majoring in General History.

I'm posting this for Yacov Menashe.
I mentioned to you last week that I want to find a wife and you addressed the part of my question about not having any real work experience. But I don't have any experience with women either. When I was 13 I had a Secular Ashkenazic Israeli girlfriend for 3 days when I was in Israel and when I was 18 I had a Traditional North African Sfardic Internet girlfriend from France who I met one time in Jerusalem afterwards. What is your suggestions on finding a wife and how to support a family? Up until now, I rely on my parents for financial support for money other than money I saved over the years and that I got from my grandfather when he died which I use when I travel to Israel or if I go places in The United States like New York. I also used that money when I went to community college but this past year I got full state and federal financial aid for the university I go to which is among the cheapest state universities in Pennsylvania (Only about 4,000-5,000 dollars a year compared to my sister who has many loans because went to NYU, and graduated this May.). Next year I only expect to get federal aid because there is one class that I took now that I will have to take over in the future.
Do you believe that pre-marital hugging is worse than pre-marital kissing? I think hugging might be worse than kissing on the cheek because of the physical feeling involved from the two bodies touching. For me this is all hypothetical because I haven't had any type of relationship at all since the French Internet girlfriend. I haven't "liked" a particular girl since 2002 and I haven't attempted to date a girl since 2003. I was a payed member of Frumster for one month and the only woman that didn't send the automatic message that says you're not interested but she wouldn't go any further than talking once online because she didn't want to wait to get married. She wanted to get married right away.

What is your opinion of Ron Paul? I personally liked him the best out of all the candidates I've seen from both debates. What he says reminds me a lot of the statements of Reuven Ben Avraham. I'm curious to know what you think of him. Thanks.

Hello Chaim, This might be long so sum it up if needed.
This is the following scenario,
An Arab Muslim terrorist walks into a building with a gun with the intention of killing people somewhere in Israel. I, Officer Ben Avraham is there. I have to act fast once I see him. Now here is the twist, this Arab Muslim has a noticible disability. Lets say Downs syndrome. It is easy to influence the metally disabled to do terrible things, which is very sad. In your opinion Chaim, would you have a shoot to kill order in a scenario like this? I think there would have to be. Even if it was an Arab, the fact remains he had a disability and he doesnt know what he is doing. And to kill someone like that would not be as easy for anybody.
This is not a trick question Chaim, This is a serious question I have. I used to spend my time volenteering to mentally disabled children and I do have sympathy on these people. I would not doubt for a second that the Muslims would stoop that low. Also Chaim I do not believe that Muslims are retarded, but pure evil. They are Amalek!
Thanks again and great as always,
Avigdor Ben Avraham/Cosmokramer
