DaMoshe: Your “facts” are fiction. Nothing in your narrative is accurate.
Caller got the same percentage as the no-name Republican candidates who ran against Hikind with virtually no chance of winning in the past elections. All Caller got was the usual straight-line Republican voters. He wasted a massive amount of money.
Who needs change? Life is fine as it is. Just keep up the good work.
What was Hikind’s margin of victory?
yytz: Those situations would be exempt under the proposed laws as rape and health. Mental health is under the health exemption.
Do you support legalized polygamy in the U.S. under the basis that since certain customs (I.e. Teimani) halachicly permit it, it should also be permissible under secular law?
Most Americans oppose toeiva marriage. It almost every affected State it has been unelected judges who have overturned the democratically elected legislatures ban on such farce “marriages”. Do you support a national referendum on outlawing sodomy “marriages”? That would reflect a true yardstick of the “public opinion” that you profess to believe in.
Charlie: Sodomy is unquestionably a far more severe infraction than theft. One carries a penalty of stoning to death. The other carries a monetary penalty.
PAA: A capital offense is far more severe than an abomination.
Sam: Virtually all legislative ban on abortion proposals by pro life legislators and advocates offer a complete exemption when the mother’s life is in question. In any event, we all ought be supporting legislation that bans abortion and provides an exemption for cases affecting the mother’s life.
Is this based on scientific evidence or is it simply political pandering?
Blame JFK.
PAA: Mishkav zochor unlike ga’avah is a capital offense and as such obviously far more severe.
interjection: The law can and should be that abortion is illegal with the exception of it being allowed if the mother’s life is in question. (Something the vast majority of pro-lifers support allowing.)
Mazal Tov. What is your age gap?
Eric: neither this nor any website has any legal obligation to run Coumo or anyone else’s ads. In fact they can choose to accept no political ads or even only accept political ads of politicians that they support. But why should they give up the free money when it won’t change the result anyways.
Cuomo is a shoo-in for re-election. He will win. End of story. You can’t stop him. So you may as well as curry favor with him by supporting him and hoping he’ll support your needs later when he is still Governor. You need favors from governors so why burn bridges when it won’t change the outcome.
Does mocha coffee count?
I can’t hear you azoi, there’s a train rumbling beneath my feet.
Choo choo…
“Chaim, please come to the kitchen.”
“I can’t hear you Mommy, there is a cargo train passing under my bedroom.”
It’s almost undoubtedly cheaper to buy them out than to change the zoning laws, buy the air rights and build homes over railroad tracks.
Without doubt they are leitizm and inexcusable mockers. But there’s no way they actually ever expected or intended to release a technical product meeting the claimed specifications.
Safer from kidnappers, for example.
Oh,and what age did you think AZOI.IS was referring to by “older children”?
Except that BP, with nearly 24 hours of frum folks always being around, is safer than the vast majority of parks.
Syag: You wouldn’t let your kids breath and have fun in a public park unless you were breathing down their backs? At whatever age you would let your kids alone in a park you can assume AZOI.IS allows children to walk through BP.
What is there was a kashrus issue where she sometimes ate out in a pareve/vegetarian restaurant that had no hechsher? Would this conversation be any different?
It’s definitely a gag. I can’t believe some people still think they were serious.
Uncle Moishe.
Money is pretty saturated, itself.
I’m curious to know which thread it was. (I can’t imagine it should be a problem to link to, as the mods merely closed it and left it online rather than deleting it altogether.)
Wow, totally irrelevant to your comment (which I thought was great btw) but you’re a Marriage and Family Therapist at 23 yo?
Expand Boro Park into Sunset Park and Bensonhurst.
Who said he hasn’t explained why it is implausible? Your not hearing it doesn’t indicate he didn’t explain. Read my explanation above.
85% likelihood Hikind.
He is a real estate lawyer. And he knows what he’s doing. Which is why he hasn’t built anything until now. And he knows the State Assembly doesn’t set zoning laws.
He is running against Hikind. And came up with implausible cocamanie plan to get votes.
I was sure this was a gag all along. And am still convinced as such. The website creater is clearly not serious about this joke. I’m surprised so many folks fell for it.
1. Who is going to build now that didn’t build until now?
2. An Assemblyman has no power to change the zoning. It is the purview of the City Council not the State legislature. So regardless whether Hikind or Caller is Assemblyman, he won’t have the ability to change zoning.
3. The current residents of the neighborhood will oppose a zoning change allowing greater density housing. It’s crowded enough as is and neighbors won’t stand for more crowding and more traffic. And they will oppose any efforts at zoning changes.
And that’s why it never happened until now. And won’t in the future.
Truthfully, I’m assuming the RZ don’t agree with the aforementioned halachic position that they are as it would fundamentally undermine their own position. Is that an unreasonable assumption?
Isn’t there an issue wearing a big hat becoming an ohel?
I don’t know. Why not read the sefer I referenced authored by an ish kadosh m’od that makes that declaration.
PAA: “However you want.”
That leaves too much ambiguity to have this discussion.
“Now once we agree on whether or not they are apikorsim”
But it isn’t agreed and won’t be. I’ve cited a sefer saying they are. We both know the RZs say they’re not and aren’t amenable to thinking otherwise, since it would collapse their entire position.
oyy: I’ve very much addressed the question at hand here.
Maybe the term zionism is being used by different people to mean different things. How are you defining “zionism”?
Oh, but the RZs *do* disagree and don’t consider the secular Zs apikorsum. Unlike the halachic opinion I cited. And it does have to do with the Z question. How could you possibly separate the Z issue from the Kosel halachic issue that I cited? The apikorsus is directly about them.
The debate over zionism is relevant since there is a halachic argument that is made that as a result of the State having been established by zionists and run as a zionist state therefore it is impermissible to join the army or participate in the organs of the government. Not everyone subscribes to this halachic argument, but since there are those that do the zionism question remains relevent. Additionally, the shalosh shavuos issue, a discussion integral to the zionism debate, is cited halachicly as preventing joining the government in Israel. The Vayoel Moshe even writes that one shouldn’t go to the Kosel (he’s a daas yochid on this point but I cite it to you to demonstrate the relevence of the zionist debate that you’re asking about) since it has become a major icon and source of chizuk for the zionists since they captured it, and on the basis of ??? ??? ????? ?? ??????????, one shouldn’t go there even though it is otherwise muttar and even proper.
If there’s no mechitza, according to many shittos shehasimcho bimoinoi can’t be said by sheva brochos. The reason for that limitation should clue one in why it isn’t recommended.
Oh, no, I’m all for it. I’m just saying let’s be accurate. It isn’t going to involve thousands. As a matter of reality it will be dozens. If relating realism is negative why not say that we can expect “hundreds of thousands” to participate.
Yes, I can see thousands of irreligious Jews lining up at their local Amtrak station to board the train to Penn Station on their way to their Shabbaton in Boro Park.
Perhaps we can organize for them a Daf Yomi. 🙂
