“If, however, you reject a view of someone of that stature because it makes no sense to your small brain, then you are an apikorus.
Do you agree with that?”Depends on what you mean by “reject.” I think we all come across stuff that seems like a stretch, and we use standard PC ways of reacting: “that’s very shver…” or “I’m not zocheh to understand…” If someone is new to the block and uses less refined language, I’m not sure I would want to go as far as calling him an apikorus.
“At any rate, here we are dealing with a third type of person: someone who rejects the existence of a view because they reject that view.”
Fully agree with you here. It bothered me enough to drive me back to the CR.
“Now that the (new?) mods have stopped censoring posts, his disgusting rhetoric can be seen for all.”
It’s actually very sad, especially given that the mods used to interact with us and post on their own some. It does appear at this point that they are actually gone. I hope it was by their own choice. The censorship was laxing up about a year and a half ago with all the LGBT propaganda from the YUish crowd, but if it continues on this trajectory then qwerty will be the least of our concerns…
“In the long run, competition will force Hatzalah to be at the top of their game.
In the short term, Hashem yishmor from the bad outcomes which would seem likely when there’s an inexperienced organization responding to serious medical emergencies.”
So, by your own admission, it’s shortsighted to block all competition indefinitely.“Because less experienced responders could lead to bad outcomes ch”v”
This is exactly what the pre-existing EMT services said when Hatzalah was being created. Hatzalah itself is the best piece of evidence against this argument. Aside from that, volunteer EMTs and firemen are extremely common in rural areas and they don’t “cause people to die” all the time. You seem to have a general distrust of non-government organizations and have made an exception in this davka for Hatzalah, but refuse to do so for anyone else. This is hypocritical and intellectually dishonest. Frum yidden love to talk the talk of fiscal conservatism and competition helping the consumer… until they talk about this. Then–all the sudden–any mention of free market competition and you might as well be told to go to the back of the bread line at the gulag.“Because they want people to live, not die…”
Absurd and emotionalist argument that warrants no response. This echoes what Corona fanatics said in 2020 about anyone who questioned Fauci. It’s not your business what risks other people chose to take with their lives. Nobody is stopping you from using Hatzalah if you think it’s safer.
