    Do you walk around with a colostomy bag on your face?

    Or do you just talk through one?

    And you have completely changed your “reasoning” from your earlier brilliant remarks.

    How does indignation about following a godol become a sudden issue about privacy of medical issues?

    It doesn’t.

    Since you fancy yourself knowledgeable, do you recall R Kahana’s response? And it was accepted by Rav. Thus disproving your whole rant.

    ZD,

    “I heard the story about the soup myself” what does that have to do with anything. It is no proof it is true. I would doubt the story if you said you saw it yourself.

    It is quite interesting that you took an innocent question and ran with it into an unintelligent rant about some bias that you have.

    I suspect it is because you are so gullible, certainly when it plays to your biases.

    Truthsharer,

    I believe the truth is that they were killed ealier and then hung. Accordingly, the appropriate term is hung, not hanged. Hanged is only appropriate if they were killed that way.

    And that’s the truth you should be sharing.

    R’ Shach did not say that someone who goes to college is an apikores, he said that all colleges teach apikorsus.

    If you do not accept what they say, you are not an apikores.

    Thus there would be no reason to consider their wine stam yeinam.

    On the other hand, if some one believes something that is apikorsus, even if he is sitting in a beis medrash, he would be an apikores.

    The point was not made at all.

    One who does not believe in brias haolam and believes that man comes from apes, or some similar theory, he is an apikores.

    He is an apikorus because if his belief, not because he heard it.

    I believe every thinking individual understood that abra cadabra was referring to the poskimm to consult/follow.

    147,

    Rashi often says “makshin haolam”. We know what “haolam” means as it clearly does not include amei horatzim, rather it referes to the learning world.

    With that established, it is clear that yiddish is neither archaic nor outdated.

    Torah, Nach and seforim kedoshim are most certainly NOT written in ivrit. No one claims (other than you apparently) that ivrit is Loshon hakodesh. They are vastly different.

    A lovely piece of fiction. What are you trying to show?

    Besides, generic brands, including heimish brands, of paper towel are significantly cheaper than Bounty.

    With writing like this you are not going to do a very good job convincing anyone that you are capable of even guessing what is a chumra or not.

    R’ Blumenkrantz ZT”L did the research and learned halacha, he reeived semicha from R’ Moshe Feinstein. You have not done any of these.

    The difference is that everyone agrees that that person did the wrong thing. He was removed from his position. On the other hand Avi Weiss is lauded and he is mevazeh the Torah much more openly

    What part of halacha is it to be don a mechalel shabbos befarhasia lcaf zchus?

    That is besides the many other pulic proclamations and actions which define him as a rasha.

    Is it just because he does not sing hatikvah? That one appropriate action alone does not make him a tzadik.

    Where do you get your manufactured factoid that our fathers did not filter their water. I would guess that untuill there was filtered municipal water, water that was not boiled (And probably even water that was boiled) was always filtered in some manner before drinking.

    The problem with copepods is specidfic to certain areas, apparently and may not have been something you have heard about ealier. Your premise is highly flawed.

    I don’t recall reading in the I”M that it is cholov Yisroel. Rather that it is mutar.

    I don’t see were you mention shellfish above. You go out of your way to say that swwordfish and sturgeon are not a problem and therefore one would have few issues eating from such a kitchen. Which you reiterate again below with out substantiation. There are numerous issues that ylu have not deallt with. And a number of you assumptions are no more than just that, assumptions about what may be in that kitchen.

    As an aside, whay do you only *try* to be makpid on yoshon if you feel that is a deoraisa?

    If it is because you believe that yoshon does not apply to chuts laaretz, then hakpadah on it is even less apllicable than cholov yisroel which certainly applies. R Moshe must have held that American milk is not the same as cholov yisroel because a) he was makpid on it himself and b0 he told yeshivos that they should spend the extra money it costs to provide cholov yisroel.

    Zdad,

    What does “there is a well known bulletin board website where people sell things ” have to do with whether Facebook can cause a rift even if someone does not start out seeking something for “sale”?

    You are completely missing the point. It is not only someone who starts out seeking sometthing when he not satisfied. The site you are referring to, if I guess correctly is not a social site, it is a place for arranging hook ups. We are talking about social media, something totally different.

    So you are retracting your comment of earlier

    “If someone is happy in their life and marriage, they are not looking elsewhere for satisfaction”

    Ok. Fine, that is where I was getting. That your comment is not even close to the rule.

    The fact is someone can stray even if they have a perfectly happy marriage. And the wise thing to do is to avoid things that can cause straying.

    I am not saying facebook will always cause straying or even does so a significant amount of the time, however one can never be sure (not my words, its the gemara’s words) and it is therefore samrt to be cautious.

    Less,

    I am sorry to hear that you grew up in a terribly abusive environment,but you can hardly infer that your situation is the norm.

    However, you have all naysayers about the shidduch system who say that people met on their own back then and therefore they chose more suited mates. Quite the contrary to what you are avering.

    You have to make up your mind.

    As an aside, there is no question that frequenting social media can certainly affect even a healthy relationship. When one statrts sharing all sorts of personal stuff with others, it can lead to devoloping relationships that can harm an exisiting healthy relationship.

    And Facebook is all about that, sharing stuff and then interacting. Do you really think that intercating so cannot poosibly lead to relationships where there shouldn’t be?

    How else does one build a realtionship if not through sharing and social media encourages sharing well beyond what used to be typical. And may lead to having one’s guard down.

    It is not just “symptons”, it can actually be the cause.

    What is the point of your story?

    And it would seem that you do not know the story first hand, since you do not even know if the person who was publicly flaunting that they practice a perverted lifestyle was a male or a female.

    I notice that that there was no allegation that the pervert was denied service. So it does not appear that anything illegal was done.

    The pervert proudly proclaimed that he/she was disgusting and the person who noted it responded in kind that they are in fact disgusting.

    It willhowever make working even more difficult for religious people. If the day of rest, the day off, is not Shabbos. I am sure that there will be chilonim who will use this as another reason not to hire religious Jews. And I am sure you will defend them as well.

    The price was, as I said, $92 per hour in NYC. Plus a tip, still not so much.

    A simple google search shows that the rate for a 8 passanger stretch limo is $92 while a 9 passenger van is $84.

    SO ZDAD was off by a factor of more than 500%. Par for the course.

    And I would think that the $8 an hour for safety (A little more if you add in the tip) is probably worth it.
