Barry -“of all, the only ones ever to cut those programs, like SS or Medicare, have been Democrats (Clinton and Obama). They talk a good game and scare the elderly that if you don’t vote for them, you’ll lose those benefits.”
That’s why they’re called DEMONcrats!
Mammele -“Health: didn’t you say (about a week ago) that you’re not trying to convince any girls to marry older guys”
“since they think with their emotions?”
They’re exceptions to every rule!
“Anyway this isn’t a dating site… And your negative opinions about others isn’t helping you here or IRL”
I didn’t say that I’m 100% included in that criteria. I don’t think there is such a person, but maybe there is.
HIR -“I don’t understand why everyone is so against kollel couples on the government programs. isn’t this what the programs are here for?? for people who are on low income and cant afford more?? Does a kollel family not apply to that??”
They’re against people who take programs & live like kings and queens!
They’re against those Kollel guys who take and they don’t learn like they’re supposed to!
HIR -“Health: so then you may be the person I’m looking for!!”
But first read my post that I started – “Who wants to be a Tzaddikes like Rus”.
HIR -“Learning Boy Vs. Working Boy:”
I don’t know anybody who fits your description in your post, except for me!
DY -“Why?”
Because some people (Yidden & Goyim) think – Es Koompt Zey!
Squeak -“It is like taking tzedakah”
No, it’s worse than taking Tzedakah!
NC -” The pro pot crowd is made up of unrepentant druggies”
I want to make it clear that I’m against legalizing Pot and I find it discusting the states that did.
Even in NYC the cops ignore Pot smoking.
I was just defending the OU and their right to give a Hechsher on the Pot!
Ms.Princess -“i agree its to make money but it still is wrong”
Why is it wrong? They’re not saying break the law, in the states that it is illegal. It’s just like giving a Hechsher on booze!
Golfer -“What exactly was the OU trying to accomplish here?”
Simply, to make a buck!
FNY – “Doesn’t change the fact that the OU is engaging in clear and incontrovertible criminal behavior which may, in theory, subject its members and affiliates to criminal consequences.”
Who cares? The way this country is going – they’ll never even prosecute the actual Pot users!
And you’re talking about prosecuting members of Shuls? What stuff are you smoking? It’s not Pot, because Pot doesn’t make you that crazy!
MsPrincess -“health – i agree they may have done it for the money but it just makes it even more wrong”
Stop trying to change the world. There is nothing wrong with a Kashrus org. trying to make a buck. They are all doing it, right or wrong! Take your anger elsewhere.
Mammele -“So wow, for a change (besides for his anti-Zionist stance which I mostly agree with) I find myself in agreement with Health!”
Well – thank you. I find in the YWCR that they used to let e/o rank each other out openly, nowadays it hasn’t stopped, but it’s more subtle!
I guess it’s the generation – when I was a kid if you wanted to be Frei, no one stopped you, nobody cared. Nowadays they pretend to be Frum, but they’re really not, they’re just Fakers!
MsPrincess -“even if a company may want to pay the ou for such a thing they should have said no.”
For all those posters cursing out the OU, the other Hechshairim are No better. They did it for money. They are all the same, from the Frummist of the Frum they are all in competition for the big bucks!
Charlie -“What I do not understand is the OU putting a hechsher on a product that is a schedule I controlled substance (like heroin) and therefore illegal for any and all purposes in all fifty states and all five territories”
What is so hard to understand? The liberal states have basically done away from the legal status. This makes the company that makes the pot to seek more customers. There’s a big market for the kosher consumer!
Mr.Yidd -“It’s still offensive and derogatory”
In my original post I included you. The Yeshivashe meaning is not the same as the real meaning. Stop looking down for no reason!
MsPrincess -“yes it is offensive”
Not at all! All the posters who think so – check your dictionaries.
From Merriam Webster:
“b : an unmarried woman and especially one past the common age for marrying”
PBA -“I was aware of that, and if anything it makes my point stronger”
What are you talking about? If anything, I proved that you’re wrong! You should go back to treating 1 car victim accidents.
“According to the FDA and DEA, marijuana has not medical benefit or use.”
There is a reason why the government approved Marinol. It works, no matter what you say!
PBA -“Have you ever wondered why drugs which are much more addictive and dangerous are available by prescription but marijuana is not? It’s because morphine and Demerol have medical benefits. So any doctor who prescribes marijuana is disagreeing with the government agencies whose job is to figure out what drugs work for what”
You’re being dishonest here! They do make marijuana (THC) in a pill form called Marinol. Just the Pot heads want an excuse to get high by smoking it! This is what happens when the states put in liberal politicians into office.
Mammele -“statistically women live longer than men, so if one spouse should be older, it’s the woman…”
Technically you’re right, but it doesn’t stop the Shidduch crisis!
Do you want your family members to be the ones who never get married, i.e. spinsters their whole lives?!?
Mr. Yidd -“That means 15-25 years widowhood is not unlikely”
The way the situation is now, it’s better than a lifetime of spinsterhood!
Offbeat2 -“Without giving a single (pun intended) other girl a chance. Because her resume, and then her whole life, is not as perfect.”
Let me tell you something – Life isn’t perfect!
If you go out with guys 15 – 25 years older than you, you’ll have plenty of dates.
Moi Aussie -“Medicinal Cannabis has worked for thousands of people in California where it is legal.”
I’m not going into the debate whether it works or not. But in states where it’s legal, they were just looking for an excuse to smoke Pot! What no one mentioned, is that in the US they have a pill form that is legal. That wasn’t good enough for the libs in those states!
PBA -“Does the OU hold it is permitted by halacha to break federal law?”
I’m sure that they don’t. But they realize that in those states where it’s legal, the Feds aren’t gonna prosecute anyone!
Mr. Yidd -“Health, would you marry a woman 20 years older than yourself?”
Are you offering me one?
Joseph -“Why would a 20 year old girl agree to marry a 40 year old guy? She’s still in the same parsha as guys in their 20s”
And why would a 20 y/o agree to be, in your theory of polygamy, wife #2 ?!?
Mr.Yidd -“And I’m not sure your solution wouldn’t cause a divorce crisis when the guy is 80 and the girl is still young.”
My solution also applies when the guy is 40 and the girl is 20, and when the guy is 60 and the girl is 40, and when the guy is 55 and the girl is 35, and so on, etc…
Mr.Yidd -“You don’t need more than a handful. Plus, that’s not even counting the women who prefer polygamy.”
What’s your point? Even if true, it won’t solve any crisis. My solution will put a dent in the Shidduch crisis!
Mr.Yidd -“I know of some women who don’t care”
If you really do, there ain’t more than a handful!
My solution is more reasonable than polygamy.
Which school does Fink run?
Mr.Yidd -“doesn’t apply even if I said something anti-polygamy, which I did not.”
You obviously didn’t understand my post! You posted to me that I should stop trying to convince women that they should marry guys that they don’t want. I responded to you that you hold the same thing with your posts on polygamy.
Unless you tell me that you know women that don’t care!
Mr.Yidd -“because I don’t force girls to marry anyone and am not in a polygamous marriage.”
From where did you get the impression that I believe in forcing women to marry aganist their will?
I don’t believe in that, do you?
The Shadchanim should offer older guys, not just younger ones!
Mr.Yidd -“Polygamy may not be illegal in a couple of years. And it’s not radical. For many people it is an ancient tradition”
This applies to you also – Could you just stop trying to convince girls to marry people they don’t want? If a girl feels that she would be unhappy if she marries that boy, why question that?
Practice what you Preach!!!
They just released one boy or about to, the family confirmed about the torture!
Now all you Zionists – keep on buying your Israeli bonds.
Mammele -“Health: you’re being too intellectual with this issue. You won’t convince any young marriageable women here, so just face reality”
The funny thing is you think that I’m trying to convince women with my posts! Now why would you think that? Girls nowadays only think with their emotions, not with Sechel.
DY -“I am showing you from the gemara that you’re wrong”
No. I proved already over there – that you’re the one that’s wrong!
It says Yalda – for sure not passed 13 y/o!
Even an old man can marry a 13 year old girl!
DY -“??????? ????? ?? ??? ????? ????? ???? ???? ??????? ?? ??? ?????? ?? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???? ???? ??? ??? ???? ???? ?????? ?? ?? ?? ??? ???? ?? ?? ??? ???? ??? ??? ?????? ??? ????? ???? ???? ????
That’s why.”
Tell me why you don’t read my posts? I answered you – years ago in my topic of “Who wants to be a Tzaddikes like Rus.”
There is nothing wrong with marrying a guy 20 – 30 years older than you!
How old do you think Boaz was?!?
Mammele – He’s playing with you. But why don’t older girls consider 10 or 20 years older than them?!?
Mashgiach -“A person should not buy a burial plot for himself as this puts a ayin hara on him.”
Funny. I heard just the opposite! A person should buy a burial plot because it’s a Segulah for Arichas Yomim.
Joe -“Reinstatement of polygamy on a limited basis,”
Why this? My solution is much better! See the topic of “Who wants to be a Tzaddikes like Rus.”
Avi K -“There is a tremendous machloket regarding what actually happened during the interrogations. Their lawyers and the rav of their community claim that they were tortured but a string of right-wing politicians who saw classified information claim that they were not”
Now that there is a difference as to what happened – the more it’s needed an independent investigation! Avi, do you have a problem with that?
Or do you believe that you can’t ever question the Medina?!?
Matan 1 -“Who would qualify as independent?”
That’s a silly question! I’m not a lawyer, but I’m sure if they looked hard enough they could find one that both the right & left agreed on him/her. Maybe a former judge or prosecutor?
Sam 2 -“Health: There is no real information coming out. There are rumors.”
Of course there is no real info coming out – there in solidarity confinement! Only recently they were allowed to meet with their lawyers.
“No one has admitted to torturing these boys”
Do you really think that the ISA will admit to this?!?
There needs to be an independent investigation!
Mdd -“Health, they forgot to ask you for permission.”
What are you talking about? I wouldn’t give permission to torture anybody.
“Some people should stop pretending that the state of Israel does not exist.”
So they allow torture, to prove that they are real?!?
They can’t claim that they are the only democracy in the middle east, when they allow torture and then cover it up!
Sam 2 -“There are two sides to every story and the Shabbak knows more about these things than we do.”
There’s No two sides! Your defense of Israel, is like the Holocaust denials. Even if they are guilty – they have No right to torture kids or even anybody! And how many are guilty – 1 or 2? But how many are in jail – 8?!?
The only reason the world is not up in arms, like they did in the US torture in the Iraqi jail, is because it’s only Jews!!!
Neville -“We should vote for policies not for parties.”
Very funny!!! Once upon a time, the Frum Jews voted for Democrats, but that time is long gone. Nowadays even the Republicans are too liberal, but what choice is there!?!
I don’t believe this going on! How could anybody support this country?!? Where is the PM? Where are the “Frum” parties?
Even if they are guilty – they have No right to torture kids or even anybody!
Neville -“Fiorina and Christie both want to shoot down Russian planes. I actually think the West would have a worse chance of survival with them than with any of the Democrats.”
Maybe with those two, but I don’t think that they’ll win the Republican nomination. The West’s only chance of survival is with a Republican president!
Charlie -“Because she would be a better President than most of the Republicans running.”
How do you know? Are you a Novi? B’zman Sheh Bais Hamikdash etc…
Keep up with your socialist/communist agenda/propaganda!
I’ll tell you one thing – if there is a DemonKratic pres. & there is a war, the Western World is finished!
Charlie -“(and hates Hillary Clinton”
That is a good thing! The only reason the liberal Jews like Hillary is because she promised money to Yeshivos. Why don’t they go for Sanders? Jewish hypocrits!
