    Why all the confusion? Shopping613’s friend is certainly following both the spirit and letter of the law I cited above from the Shulchan Aruch and Rambam.

    It’s totally sexist and unfair. If there’s a rabbinic will there’s a rabbinic way. The rabbis must end this travesty and free men from the yoke of sleep deprivation.

    Queen: What point are you conveying by pointing out the age he became a meshumed? He remained a meshumed after entering adulthood as well.

    Also, I assume you concede the point about him presiding over a superpower.

    Queen: Britain was the world superpower when Disraeli was Prime Minister. That being said he was a meshumed.

    Perhaps what is needed is affirmative action programs for the less intelligent.

    They’re dangerous. Dangerous is worse than crazy. Trump is crazy. But even Trump is better than any of the Democratic candidates. Thankfully Trump is unlikely to be nominated thus the nation will be able to elect an outstanding patriot such as Marco Rubio.

    Men and women are different. Not equal. Have different jobs in life. Different responsibilities. Different obligations. Different capabilities. Different roles. Different rules. Some things are for men and/or only men and some things are for women and/or only women. Not comparable. Some things men may not do and women may and some things women may not do and men may.

    She wan’t questioning your ability to determine what is a good seminary, she was merely stating that she couldn’t comment on the specific seminaries you were referring to, and categorized as good, since she doesn’t know which seminaries you’re talking about.

    I also think your claim of having more excuse to participating in this forum than she does is unfounded.

    The Torah says murderers should be executed. Implement capital punishment. And install safeguards that when uncertain will rather find a defendant innocent than guilty.

    Guess what, Avi? Our Torah says burglars are penalized monetarily not with a prison sentence. So regardless of what new age burgulary support groups opine, we stick with the Torah HaKedosha. Maybe someone should’ve let the RBS”O know at Har Sinai about the psychological impact of burglary victims so He could’ve included jail time in the Torah instead of mere financial recompense.

    RY23: The American prison system is corrupt and immoral. Not only far too many innocents are incarcerated in it, but even those guilty of many crimes do not belong in it but rather ought to face other types of punishments, whether corporal or monetary.

    And here Avi comes lecturing everyone else that they need to improve their bein adam l’chaveiro when immediately thereafter in the very same thread he created to lecture everyone he starts advocating to have Yidden thrown into gentile prisons with murderous punishments that have zero basis in the Torah and are the polar opposite to everything about Torah-true justice.

    LC: Rav Moshe Feinstein and Rav Mordechai Yaakov Breish, two examples of the many that can be cited, both repeated that the issur gamur brought in the Shulchan Aruch against mesira applies in America today, not just Czarist Russia of yesterday.

    They are being mekayim a Mitzvah for refusing to testify that I envy their cheilik in olam haboah; especially if they do time for that. See the Igros Moshe I earlier quoted. Genuk with your miscitations of S”A which directly prohibits mesira.

    Are you kidding, LC? Google how many convicted murderers are later acquitted. And that is only convictions for murder. And most false convictions are probably never overturned. And, yes, there have been numerous Yidden in America who were moser nefesh not to be a moser and as a result did time in prison. Totally innocent people who overheard other parties in their workplace engage in talk of illegal activities that the person overhearing had nothing to do with but prosecutors subpoened them and judges ordered them to testify. Even when offered immunity they refused in deference to the issur gamur of mesira, as the piskei teshuva I earlier cited state.

    A similar principal about voting for electors applies in the primaries and caucuses. Voters are voting for delegates to nominate a candidate for their party.

    Another aspect y’all been overlookin’ is that voters are not voting for president. They’re not voting for Cruz for president, for Rubio for president or for Trump for president. None of ’em. Voters are only voting for electors in the electoral college. Those electors we vote for, they and only they, vote for who should be president.

    CTL: Irregardless of Stare Decisis not being applicable, the reasoning given in all the dismissals for the McCain suits is equally applicable here. The plaintiffs have no standing and are uninjured by his being on the ballot.

    CTL: Similar State lawsuits were filled against McCain eight years ago, and were all tossed out of court without a ruling because the plaintiffs lacked standing and were uninjured by his being on the ballot.

    You’re mixing apples and oranges. The US has a 99 year lease, signed by Cuba, for Guantanamo that the US sends a check annually to Cuba to pay for. (They refuse to cash it on principle.) That keeps Castro out of Guantanamo. But US army bases, there or say in Afghanistan, Iraq or Germany, are not US soil.
