Sparkly – I actually was dan l’kaf zchus your Rabbi the whole time and assuming that he didn’t say that it’s okay to not be shomer negiah, and I’m glad that you are now acknowledging it. Being tolerant of others does not have to equal saying that what they are doing is muttar. I am still sorry that you think that he says it’s okay to wear short skirts but not pants. Wearing short skirts is a clear-cut issur and according to some/many/most/all poskim is worse than wearing pants, so I am not mekabel this motzi shem ra about your Rabbi.
What is clear is that you are not a reliable source for quoting your Rabbi, and therefore you should refrain from poskening halacha in “his name” since playing around with Halacha is a serious matter. Unfortunately, I don’t think you are the only one in the Coffee Room who randomly makes definitive Halachic statements without the necessary sources and background. Maybe everyone will be more careful now.
By the way, you have to learn to differentiate between clear-cut halachos such as being shomer negiah and covering your knees versus things that are more grey areas such as talking to boys and watching tv. I know that you are not the only person in the world who has trouble with this, but it is important.
Why is it gross if I want to dye my hair? It’s not like I’m using any nasty chemicals, I’m using tomato juice, and my wife said it’s ok.
Meno – I agree. If it weren’t for the fact that it might be assur Halachically (I actually know nothing about the halachos since I never had reason to look into it), I don’t see why it should bother someone.
