Dear Chash,
Don’t look at me, just saying what it means. Domestic violence does not only refer to active aggression. What is your issue with private security firms? They are used everywhere, and are trained and armed specifically for each task.Dear Common,
Unfortunately, this is not a new low. As we disagreed about elsewhere, people are scared and reactionary about current events.I think there is a big mistake here. If a young person has a fair question or grievance against their community, it is very emotional. If they grow up and get married because it helps the emotional part, it could all come crashing down when they realize that everyone is avoiding the question or complaint. A lot of people who are disconnected from the community due to obvious emotional difficulties, actually have piercing questions underneath all their baggage. If they did not have a serious problem with being Jewish, they would find another community to accept them. May Hashem guide us to ultimate joyfulness.
Dear Thelittle,
I fully agree with you about not ruining a good thread. The pro/anti Trump debate does not seem like an emotional one to me. It looks like a clash between focused politics versus intertwined politics. What about is more emotional than, say vaccines?Dear Two,
Your first sentence is unclear to me. Legislators are not scientists. Their work is reactionary and not one bit empirical. We did not have to give up any of our liberties because of the Government. This is not China. Protesters were not given any access to elective health care. Nor, where any businesses allowed to open to assist the protests. This seems to be a game of make believe victim.Dear Akuperma,
Yes. Maybe a little. Not at all. Did I miss or mess your point?Dear Yochy,
You can have any stereotype about me you want. I will not bend a millimeter. Bend yourself.Dear Curiosity,
The four things you mentioned are not opinions. They are not facts either. It is how you relate to ideas/concepts/movements/fact. That is called feelings. The case can be made, that is a truer sense of self, and more applicable to social problems. Still, it is not the truth of itself.Dear Shnitzel,
So maybe if you are applying for a manly job, but Bigot on the resume. For other jobs, use Baguette. It seems like there is no empirical date, as the question would not have an empirical solution. There is enough applicable data on police aggression. The Government (for some reason) does not have a public database on this issue.Dear Lower,
I keep hearing this, but every time I check the CDC website things are the same. People hear things on differently on the news, but it is just slanted journalism. Originally the CDC stated that face masks will not prevent you from getting coronavirus. That is still true. Therefore they recommended not wearing one to avoid a false sense of security. Once the pandemic was here, face masks were promoted as a means of slowing down transmission. Though social distancing is considered more efficient than masks. There is no solid study on davening inside, but it does not seem to be simple to achieve a “safe” shul.“Defund the Police” and “police abolition” does not mean get rid of law enforcement. It means that police officers should only focus on policing. Not drug overdoses, that for an EMT. Attempted suicide? Mental breakdown? Schizophrenic hallucinations? Mental health professional. Family skirmish? Domestic violence? Abuse? Trained therapist. Crowd control can be done with private security firms. Many police veterans are for it. Like everything else in this country, the unions (and insurance) get in the way.
Dear Common,
New Zealand claims zero cases. Yemen has about 500 documented cases, and more like 50,000 infected.Dear Two,
Please name a scientist. [Look at what they actually said. If you meant journalists, I agree. A lot of reckless reporting these days.]Dear Joseph,
Being that your America consists of the frum communities of the tri-state area, you are correct.Dear Curiosity,
Thank you for telling us only feeling matter, before stating your feelings.Dear Milhouse,
1)Killing a nochri is punishable just like killing without witnesses. Abortion is never mentioned as given to Yidden to mete out justice.
2)What about saving the mother’s health? Or an unknown risk? Does the Mother’s abilities and opinion play a role?
3)”Those few deaths” Living Yidden versus un-born Nochrim. Really?!? Even if you meant something else, אין .דוחין נפש םפני נפש
4)Even if you are correct on the whole topic, why does it matter if I am running as a Republican or Democrat? Do you consider this the central cause of Judaism?Dear 2scents,
You are conflating legislation and leadership. If you do not like the result, separate the two and follow your leader. I see nothing to complain about.Woops wrong thread.
Mosquito born diseases are not difficult to contain. All it takes is quick implementation of policy and Federal oversight. Like the Zika outbreak in 2015. Wooops! It is not 2015 anymore. Never mind. Destroy all mosquitos. Make America Great Again.
Dear Milhouse,
Representation may have been the reason for the census, but it is not so reliant on it anymore. (The process has become corrupted.) The census is used to determine State budgets and Federal projects. It affects your community’s education and transportation dollars. And so on.Dear Milhouse,
We seem to be on the same page here. The Jews lost their royal positions and were expelled from Krakow in the 15th century. The Warsaw blood libel in the 17th. As well as the Frankists. But compared to Europe at large, this is hardly significant.Dear Shnitzel,
There are several databases on misconduct by police officers. What do you want to study? There are a lot of social problems intertwined. The causes could be confused with the results. Is poverty a cause of lack of education, or the other way around? (Really old question.) If your resume shows the most potential and you do not get a call because of your name, that shows a bias. Still, do not put Bigot as your name on a resume.Dear Syag,
I agreed with your take on not silencing anyone here. I was pointing out that Doing was saying to ignore the basis for Health’s opinion as opposed to the extreme opinion. People do not always share the real reasons for their opinions.I just found online that Lakewood is averaging ten cases a day.
Dear Milhouse,
“Very little if any antisemitism” I guess you mean state sponsored. Among the general populace and especially from some of the priests, there was a lot of agitation.
Around 1900 the Jews in Poland splintered. And fought bitterly over political approval. The Jews inclusion in the parliament did not endear them to the common Pole. There is a lesson somewhere……….Dear Milhouse,
Not sure what you are talking about. There is a lot of debate in the democratic party. The Republicans shunned Jeff Flake for sticking to the party line and not embracing the President. Mitt Romney is next.Dear Syag,
Health has been backed into a corner that defies logic, (self-contradiction) yet he insists on maintaining his position. We could discus the extreme position, but his take on the facts; that is beyond reason. Also, nobody is obligated to bring facts to an online forum. There is only so much that a faceless dialog can hold. For example, I can have good reason to think that the video is fake. But am unable to say why in public.1) Jews are not being counted separately in the census. No problem here.
2) The siyum hashas was an estimation. No problem there.
3) What part of coronavirus was right after the siyum hashas?
4) This kind of thinking just for the purpose of defying Agudah (or the government) is a problem.Dear Health,
It is intrinsic that looters are not engaging their moral compass. I am unaware of any supporters. Kindly point them out to me. If you are supporting them based on the aforementioned liberal ideas, kindly do not respond.“I do not think” is a loaded statement for any philosopher. Here is how it would play out in the hypothesis of determining who is thinking. [The joke is the same.]
Descartes: So what ascertains your existence?
Nietzsche: You being yourself remains undetermined.Dear Health,
No, I did not. That is the point. There are different ways to react. All agree that dignity is the underpinning of society. Disregard others dignity and risk all kind of societal ills. We can bow our heads, and pour our hearts to Hashem. We do not have to protest. But we must acknowledge that every human deserves to be treated with respect.P. S. There is an EXTREME liberal school of thought that humans have no right to dignity. That all of civilization was built despite human dignity. And, if humans would behave like animals we would be far more advanced. If you subscribe to this school, I did not intend to engage you.
Dear Syag,
Yeah. Way too much drama. I think we morally agree. Everyone reacts differently. The drama is to clarify the point of the dialogue. We could disagree on a lot of the other factors.I was looking at the federal outlines on reopening the country. There is no federal plan for testing. A lot of this thread (As well as another one.) is debating the President’s response to the pandemic. It is clear that he just wants it to go away. He is not a leader.
He was a human being. Just like me and you. The police did not respect him as one. It is an assault on the concept of humanity. Stand with people, or with the Satan. No reason to complicate the issue.
Dear Azoi,
Stack spell.The core issue is human dignity. The lack of it, is the root cause for both of these issues.
Dear Health,
You asked what is the Torah law about an intruder. You got a straight answer and walked away from it. What is the overall basis for your point? Are you claiming it is impossible that Floyd was murdered by the Officer?Davening maariv before shkia and supper, is better than after both.
Dear Haimy,
You brought up seven(!) points of racial disparity or injustice. And you seem to find nothing worth changing. You are the reason for those that are destroying out of frustration.Dear Milhouse,
“right of a property owner to forbid others” Neder? It is not a public building? Niddui? Was one made? Tnai? Do they write it into the contract? (It is not simple to give these halachic teeth.)Anybody here ever been part of a riot? It does not work this way. You have to force them to give up.
Dear Coffe,
No people = no gatherings no riots. The country is way way less Republican (And less Democrats.) then is let on here. Most republican mayors of cities are not republican.Dear M,
You made a solid point. In general, what in our world does Hashem guarantee? 1)Tzeddakah pays. 2)The cry of the maligned is heard. 3) A thief gets his due. 4) The haughty are reduced. Et cetera. Guarantees in this world revolve around what an individual does with what is meaningful to themselves. Family by definition avoids this scenario. It has to be attained. It is not awarded.Dear Milhouse,
Thanks again for the support. Please point me to any statement of the Baltimore Police Department supporting the officers? I can’t find any on Google. Maybe George Soros paid for it not to show up.Dear Shnitzel,
1) YES! 2) Benghazi was a total disgrace. It is still mostly ignored. Thank you for bringing it up.Dear Coffee,
What is a republican city? 50% Republicans? Oh, you mean El Paso. Mesa. Tulsa. Wichita.
Republican states do not have enough people per mile to violate social distancing orders.Dear Joseph,
Well it depends which spouse you perceive as the problem. The spouse that beats the kids, or the one that does not?Dear Common,
I do not dispute your stance about informing, I am unsure if I disagree with that part. From this conversation “they have every right to deny access”. I do not know of any right here.Dear Shnitzel,
Like our President.Dear Common,
I am aware of your opinion. It ignores context. You find others with the same opinion, and then justify their context. Finally, you apply that logic everywhere, and you have a convincing case. I disagree. Here is the question on your opinion. If the informer gets no benefit (Nor does he want to harm another Jew.) can he be called a moser? Without hezek there can be no moser.
