“Aveiros are forbidden regardless of the consequence.”
A cheeseburger would be permitted if you were starving and had no access to kosher food.
DovidBTParticipantAn important change his administration can make is to restore traditional values, including respect for laws and law enforcement, and disrespect for to’evah.
DovidBTParticipantDogs are emotionally shallow. Intelligent people have cats.
Also, the Talmud clearly dislikes dogs:
Yoma 53b
Yoma 83a
Yevamos 59b
Kesuvos 41b
Bava Kamma 15b
Bava Kamma 79bAnd favors cats:
Shabbos 128b
Pesachim 112bDovidBTParticipant“Actually, the smell of fresh garlic does not repel people.”
It’s supposed to be effective against vampires.
And if you run out of food, you can eat the garlic.
DovidBTParticipant“How about DovidBT”
“DovidBT is a good adjective 4 that”Ah, a 12-year-old refugee from TikTok. Do your parents know you’re using the internet?
September 27, 2024 1:16 pm at 1:16 pm in reply to: Should America Offer Israelis a Safe Haven? #2319265DovidBTParticipant>Should America (and/or Canada, Australia, etc.) offer Israeli citizens a safe haven, in case the situation becomes dangerous?
If you believe that Jews should live in Israel, then doesn’t encouraging to leave indicate a lack of bitachon?
DovidBTParticipant>What was gained?
In the future, they’ll waste time and money checking their electronic devices for booby traps.
DovidBTParticipant“Someone who was born religious and then went down and sinned and then repents is the real definition of a BT.”
What does “born religious” mean?
August 25, 2024 6:20 pm at 6:20 pm in reply to: What is your most unpopular/controversial opinion or hot take? #2308657DovidBTParticipant“As a taxpayer I oppose my tax dollars being spent in private institutions.”
The complication is that we’re compelled to pay taxes that are used for activities that go far beyond basic education.
School vouchers enable us to reclaim some of our tax dollars and spend the money in a way that aligns with our values.
August 22, 2024 1:30 pm at 1:30 pm in reply to: What is your most unpopular/controversial opinion or hot take? #2308159DovidBTParticipant“If you were a MLB player hitting .333 they’d pay you millions.”
That’s true, but do MLB teams let their players observe Shabbos?
August 22, 2024 7:30 am at 7:30 am in reply to: What is your most unpopular/controversial opinion or hot take? #2307940DovidBTParticipant@Ex-CTLawyer
You’re right about one of those three issues.
August 22, 2024 7:30 am at 7:30 am in reply to: What is your most unpopular/controversial opinion or hot take? #2307899DovidBTParticipantPublic hanging of violent criminals should be reinstated as a common practice. Stoning, burning and decapitation would be okay too.
DovidBTParticipant“We know today that smoking is very harmful to your health.”
Since we’re supposed to afflict ourselves on fast days, doesn’t that knowledge support smoking, even for non-smokers?
DovidBTParticipant“Chat/AI apps are sometimes helpful but frequently provide totally meshugah rants.”
That’s true, but the same applies to human beings.
August 4, 2024 3:23 pm at 3:23 pm in reply to: Yet Frum people get screamed at or thrown off the plane #2302489DovidBTParticipant“attractiveness level”
That’s subjective.
DovidBTParticipantChatGPT is surprising good for this type of project.
Me:
Write a short argument that provides a good reason for having a cat.ChatGPT:
Having a cat offers numerous benefits, both practical and emotional. Cats are natural hunters, helping to keep homes free from pests like mice and insects. Their independent yet affectionate nature makes them low-maintenance companions, providing comfort and reducing stress without requiring constant attention. Additionally, the presence of a cat can create a calming atmosphere, as their purring has been shown to lower blood pressure and promote relaxation. Thus, a cat not only enhances the household with its charming presence but also contributes to a healthier and more peaceful living environment.DovidBTParticipantIn an interview published on July 8, Kamala gave her viewpoint on the people protesting Israel’s response to the Oct 7 attack:
“They are showing exactly what the human emotion should be, as a response to Gaza. There are things some of the protesters are saying that I absolutely reject, so I don’t mean to wholesale endorse their points. But we have to navigate it. I understand the emotion behind it.”
In other words, she thinks that “there are fine people on both sides.”
July 2, 2024 10:12 am at 10:12 am in reply to: Should the President be Immune from Prosecution #2294172DovidBTParticipant“That said a President who commits a violent crime such as murder should be subject to criminal prosecution and appropriate punishment.”
Then Biden should be in jail for at least negligent manslaughter.
DovidBTParticipant“Dovid, that suggests that SIL can (should?) respect FIL.”
But how does that relate to the topic, “Serving Your Husband Before Your Father”?
DovidBTParticipantMoshe went to greet his father in law>
Is that relevant to this topic? Did he neglect his wife to do that?
May 8, 2024 4:04 pm at 4:04 pm in reply to: How Can Any Jew Who Isn’t a Self-hating Jew Still Identify as a Democrat #2281978DovidBTParticipant“I will vote against a particular candidate for President this year, but don’t consider myself a supporter of the other.”
It’s people with your attitude who are destroying this country.
May 7, 2024 9:45 am at 9:45 am in reply to: Do you honestly believe that Moshiach WILL be here within 12 months #2281440DovidBTParticipantHe could arrive in the next five minutes.
DovidBTParticipantThe much less expensive machine-made matzos produced by Manischewitz and other companies don’t have this problem.
Are machine-made matzos less fragile? Or does the higher volume of sales enable them to spend more money on packaging?
DovidBTParticipant“If we make brochos on earthquakes and thunder and rainbows why dont we have a brocho for an eclipse?”
According to Sukkah 29a, a solar eclipse is a bad omen.
February 22, 2024 1:09 pm at 1:09 pm in reply to: Who gains by flooding the US with millions of Illegals?? #2263206DovidBTParticipant“You sound like an 8 year old calling the President a vegetable.”
“I cast my ballot for him as a vote against Mr. Trump.”
Those remarks prove that you have nothing of value to contribute to this topic.
February 21, 2024 5:10 pm at 5:10 pm in reply to: Who gains by flooding the US with millions of Illegals?? #2262985DovidBTParticipant“The Democrat Party does not have an organized effort to get non-citizens to vote.”
Do you really believe that?
That’s like saying that the vegetable sitting in the Oval Office is a competent President who is doing a good job.
February 20, 2024 5:43 pm at 5:43 pm in reply to: Who gains by flooding the US with millions of Illegals?? #2262734DovidBTParticipantThe answer is obvious. The Democratic party needs their votes to stay in power.
They’ll try hard to let them vote legally, but even if that fails, they’ll use them somehow to stuff the ballot boxes.
DovidBTParticipantShe’s probably not fit to be a university president, but her resignation doesn’t matter. She’s a figurehead appointed by the put-black-people-in-important-positions racists. She’ll be replaced by someone who has the same attitudes and policies, but is better at being two-faced.
DovidBTParticipantChabad has been doing public menorah lighting for a long time, as part of their outreach.
It’s only in the mainstream media now because the left is using antisemitism to promote their own agenda.
DovidBTParticipantIf you take that approach, then the liberal mob will assert that the transit system is racist and should pay reparations.
May 21, 2023 11:35 pm at 11:35 pm in reply to: A Chief Rabbi Attends the Coronation in a Church? #2192141DovidBTParticipantHow can anyone ever pass judgement on anything without a fully understanding what the issues are?
If everyone followed that rule, the mainstream news organizations would be out of business, and 99% of internet content would disappear.
DovidBTParticipantI was on the moon for the entire month of July 1969, and can personally affirm that no one else was there. I don’t know about the later alleged landings.
DovidBTParticipant“Why would you risk getting them stolen?”
That’s not the topic. Why would you risk them getting stolen?

DovidBTParticipant“You can also follow an old minhag of wearing tefilin the whole day.”
Do you know anyone who does that?
DovidBTParticipantAnd I doubt if that Amazon product provides better protection from hot or cold temperatures than an inexpensive insulated container.
DovidBTParticipant“a container designed for Israeli soldiers”
There a product like that on Amazon, sold by Masoret. It’s $90, has a high rating but there are only ratings by four people, and only one review.
March 14, 2023 5:52 pm at 5:52 pm in reply to: Arkansas Gov. Sanders signs law loosening child labor protections #2173777DovidBTParticipantChildren would be good auto mechanics. They could fit under the car more easily than adults, for doing oil changes, etc. And you wouldn’t have to pay them as much, which would reduce car-related expenses.
DovidBTParticipanthow did we morph from if a jew can go to a non jewish funeral to a debate over yakov and esav?
Is that a trick question?
DovidBTParticipantHow about baking soda?
DovidBTParticipantCan the Chief Rabbi attend the service at Westminster Abby?
Jonathan Sacks, the former Chief Rabbi, attended the royal wedding there in 2011.
DovidBTParticipant-isn’t that before Torah was written?
If those dates are accurate, it could precede Hashem’s giving of the Torah to Moses. But I don’t know if the Vedas actually existed then. Even if there’s “proof” they did, that could be part of the stuff Hashem does to test our faith, like dinosaur fossils.
DovidBTParticipantDovid: Yoga is pure Avoda Zora.
ujm: One of us is an ignoramus, and it’s not me.
DovidBTParticipantI practice yoga for the physical benefits (mainly joint mobility). I’m not interested in the philosophical side of it, but I’ve been exposed to a little of it in learning yoga, The oldest documents are apparently the Vedas, which were supposedly written 1500–1200 BCE.
DovidBTParticipantIf they are so sure that Trump is disliked by the masses and doesn’t deserve to be president, why must they find every way to besmirch him and terrorize him into staying away?
Saying that he’s disliked by the masses is propaganda. It’s a classic example of The Big Lie. They keep repeating it with the hope that people will eventually believe it.
DovidBTParticipantWhat are the pros and cons between Waze and Google Maps?
One advantage of Waze is that it’s more specific about telling you which lane to use, for example when you have to make a left turn, and then a right turn after a short distance.
DovidBTParticipantAccording to Albert Einstein, the sun revolves around the earth.
Actually the sun and the earth revolve around their common center of mass.
DovidBTParticipantmoish26: Why do you hate punctuation?
DovidBTParticipantYo-yo’s still exist. I have two, and am considering upgrading.
DovidBTParticipantActually they are not affiliated with reform at all, they are Cosmic Jewish whatever that is supposed to mean.
Thanks, I had been looking at the web site of another congregation that has the same name.
The web site of the congregation that’s filing the lawsuit doesn’t say “Reform”, but the policies look the same.
DovidBTParticipantPlace a notice in a local newspaper.
