    Most people trust their pediatrician to do the research for them.

    For something where the pediatrician has different incentives than they do? I think that alone is child abuse.

    DY: I’ve never heard of that. Even it is true (which I am not convinced), the other people giving the vaccine don’t know that, so my charge holds.

    Matan: I feel like you’re talking around me.

    Cancer? Men don’t get that.

    Other diseases? Which? I’ve never heard of that.

    What veltz said.

    To add my two cents: Anyone who gives the HPV vaccine to their son should be prosecuted for child abuse. HPV literally has no effect on men, and the only purpose of giving it to boys is to protect girls. You shouldn’t be making that choice for your son, to his detriment in any amount.

    secondly, why does everything have to be a gate?

    And he went to an even better law school than brony! So now can we ask you your BTL opinions?

    And I think my way makes sense. See, this is what I’m talking about. It takes a yeshiva guy to notice that one boich sevara is as good as another.

    I don’t deny that at all. BTLs underperform their admission numbers in gaining admission. But then overperform in school. The two prior sentences may have a causative relationship.

    Also, the comparison to the halachos of women appearing in public is inapt.

    Regarding appearing in public, there is a balance because the women themselves also have an interest in being able to live normal lives.

    But Angela Merkel has no interest in being able to appear in a chareidi newspaper–it is purely a matter of the editor’s and the readership’s interests. If the editors decided that they had some interest in not putting her picture in, why do you care to second and third guess them?

    Why do you care so much if Angela Merkel’s picture was or wasn’t in a newspaper?

    I am really a middle aged man living in my mother’s basement since I left yeshiva 6 years ago. I occasionally work as a mashgiach temidi in the local pizza shop, which is why I am good at cooking. I met Veltz a few years ago at a Star Trek convention.

    Damoshe, I think you misread ry’s point.

    His point is that your comparison to the halachos of walking in the street is inapt. Women don’t walk in the street to be looked at, but the point of a picture is only to be looked at.

    Methinks rebyidd is one of the smartest yidd’s I know. That was some really good analysis. Succinct, and cutting directly to the underlying theory.

    There’s an enormous amount of long posting in the past few hours, of the type that I’m sure no biglaw lawyer would think of putting in an email.

    It’s very easy to make up credentials on a anonymous website. Brony went to law school and works at a law firm, and CTlawyer’s whole family teaches at Harvard, and I’m a partner at Wachtell.

    An alter bochur I was friends with in yeshiva once told the mashgiach that he wasn’t in seder on Friday night because he was too busy being maavir sedrah. Then, he told him that he wasn’t in seder on shabbos afternoon for the same reason. Then, he told him that he wasn’t at shachris on Sunday because he was up all night being maavir sedrah. The mashgiach asked why it took so long, so he explained that in parshas vayakhel, when it talks about the “amos” of the mishkan, it stands for “arbah mikrah v’tishah targum.”

    The alter bochur explained that he is meikil according to this shittah to only do 4 mikrah, because some say that “v’eyleh shemos” stands for “shmonah mikra v’assarah targum”!

    I always figured it’s hinted in shemos, because imagine the first parsha you had to do was vayakhel!

    That’s because those people are generally sephardic. But if, say, you found a community in a remote area of Iraq that had always only been in contact with Ashkenazic communities and had Ashkenazic customs, you’d certainly consider them Ashkenazic even if they were darker in color than most yekkes.

    Rav Ovadiah Yosef whom is generally looked upon in their case as they would fall under more Sephardish than Ashkendzic.

    Why would they be sephardic?

    Because they’re black?

    You can’t be light and sephardic (Syrians)? You can’t be dark and ashkenazic?

    Honorary mention to DY for leaving over some of the old scotch and thus allowing us to implement this.

    My answer to ‘How old are you?’ is ‘I am looking to date a guy between the ages of X and Y’. If someone really wants to help, that is enough information for them.

    (unless i’m in a doctors office 😉 in that case I write it down on a piece of paper and give it to them, no need for the whole office to hear how old I am. Ditto for the pharmacy).

    My answer at the doctor’s office is “I’m looking to live until 2xxx.” That’s enough information for them.

    Ok I seem to be the only female single here.

    How old are you?

    Isn’t she also supposed to have a professional relationship with her coworkers?

    Yes, but it’s a different sort of professional relationship. You show your coworkers pictures of your grandkids, but you don’t show your students or their parents pictures of your grandkids.

    I do think it is inappropriate to redt a shidduch. I think if I had an idea I would tell one of her coworkers and ask if they wanted to redt it, or else tell a different person in the community, or else set up a shell corporation that I controlled and have it redt the shidduch.

    You don’t ask your kid’s teacher her age. Nothing to do with being single–you have a professional relationship with her, and it isn’t appropriate to be making it personal like that.

    No, no. I’m saying, if there are 5000 single girls and 3000 single boys, the excess–the 2000–is the crisis?

    Or are all 8000 the crisis?

    Or all all 5000 girls the crisis, but not the boys?
