		<description>Someone compliments your mastery of the English language and your reply makes you look like an am  ha&#039;aretz. Classy. (seeing as you have difficulty with this, a fragment like that is going to refer to the subject of the last sentence. No I&#039;m not trying to say I the poster am classy.)</description>

		<description>I love how when confronted with your blatant sexism you are oblivious to what they are referring to. Asserting that it is meant to be humorous is not an excuse to disparage a group of people. I&#039;m a yeshiva guy as well but it&#039;s people like you who give us all a bad name as uncouth bigots.</description>

		<description>I  forgot to write 2 things:
1. i am not a mesores rochel girl. I have never gone to seminary.
2. I&#039;d love to examine your body and see if beneath all that bluff, you actually have a heart. Or does it have room only for yourself?!</description>

		<description>Firstly, by calling yourself &quot;yeshiva guy&quot;, you give a bad name to all the other true yeshiva guys out there. Not every black hatter has an ego the size of the solar system. And since it&#039;s evident that you do, don&#039;t call yourself &quot;yeshiva guy&quot;, implying that all yeshiva guys have similar thoughts.

Aside from that, your attitude towards women is shocking. Please note that the Klal of &quot;bishvili nivra haolam&quot; does not apply exclusively to males. Females also have the right, nay the obligation, to enjoy the world. Additionally, the tenet of &quot;veahavta l&#039;reiacha kamocha&quot; applies to women as well. From your derogatory tone, you seem to consider yourself and other guys the Master Race. And look what happened last time someone thought of himself and others as such. Considering your condescending and contemptuous attitude, it would come as no surprise if you end up being a wife-batterer. You obviously bear no respect towards women. And while you may think that that&#039;s a big jump, studies in psychology show that abusers and wife-batterers were either abused themselves, or have psychopathic egomania. And no, I am no feminist - I just happen to be feminine. 

In addition to all that, I feel compelled to point out that if girls hanging out in Geulah bother you so much, not only should you stay in your bais midrash, but you should definitely not look, notice and observe what they do/wear. And evidently, if you notice that they wear Crocs, you were watching them. I find it absurd that a holy man wannabe such as yourself is occupying himself noting what the girls wear, their language, their discussion topics and their cell phone ringers. 

As far as deciding who belongs where, I&#039;d love to dissect your brain and figure out what makes you think you have such authority. As mentioned previously, if the girls bother you so much, you don&#039;t belong on the streets.

As for all the others who are &quot;mesores rochel bashers&quot;, I hasten to warn you that threats made over the internet are taken very seriously by authorities. This is no joke. You don&#039;t want to be hassled by authorities because you were posting on some egotistical, self-centered maniac&#039;s post.
Sorry, yeshiva guy, the world does NOT revolve around you.

One last point, considering that you are pontificating endlessly about what girls should be doing, I must add that a guy in yeshiva belongs just there: in yeshiva. What ever happened to bitul torah? Did that evaporate in the face of your glorified need to vent to the public?

I sincerely hope, that if your yeshiva is worth half the money your parents are paying in tuition, your rebbeim succeed in adjusting your attitude to a normal healthy one. Remember, &quot;ein ani v&#039;hu yecholim ladoor b&#039;dirah achas.&quot; As far as you&#039;re concerned, I&#039;d be audacious enough to say that it would be impossible for Hashem to share a dirah with you since you and your ego would take up all the space.</description>

		<description>young man, 
it&#039;s interesting to note that you adopted the title as a yeshiva guy. your ideas certainly don&#039;t impress me as a bachul living a yeshivish lifestyle, though that is unfortunate.
what i don&#039;t understand is why don&#039;t you have a problem with the masses of yerushalmi women walking the streets of geula, pushing strollers and walking with various kids. it seems to me that they take up quite a large part of the street, and i don&#039;t have a problem with that. in fact, i think that geula is their turf, where they can do their errands and go shopping... but for a bachur, i&#039;m sorry but that&#039;s another story. geula is not your turf.
it&#039;s also quite interesting to note, that i saw on more then one occasion a couple of american yeshiva bachurim walking but when girls are coming they split up thereby forcing girls to walk between them which is against halacha. 
another point that i want to make is the following, why are you noticing the deficiencies that are within seminary girls? as a yeshiva bachur, you should not be looking out for them and for what they&#039;re doing wrong. i do agree with quite a few points that you&#039;re making, but that&#039;s b/c i&#039;m a seminary girl and i do notice how other fellow seminary girls are behaving. 
yeshiva guy, i want to give you a bracha that you should always be able to find the positive in others and that you shouldn&#039;t be so quick to criticize others. i&#039;m sure that you&#039;re not perfect b/c if you were you wouldn&#039;t be here. have much hatzlacha working on yourself!</description>

		<description>hey yeshiva guy, how do you plan on kicking that new seminary (whatever it&#039;s called) out of geula... personally i think we can share the streets with the girls as long as they&#039;re behaving appropriately.</description>
