    I find it highly troubling that a parent would prevent their daughter from dating for years, until she was the only one from her class unmarried.

    I’m glad it didn’t cause her to never get married in this case.

    Smoking is very dangerous. Look, even just talking about smoking has made half the CR posters into lunatics. The posts on this thread are more judgmental than just about any on the CR.

    One time, when I was in college, I went on ywn and called you all bloodsuckers. http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/why-im-never-giving-blood-again-by-popa

    When I was in college, I took a class on like ethics or something, and the teacher called on me and asked, “if someone offered you 30 pieces of silver but you would have to betray your teacher who was also the son of god, what would you do”.

    Do you think that teacher was antisemitic?

    Yes, if it is for a friend, the correct way to phrase that is “my friend asked me to post a question for her friend”.

    The mods can edit your post to say that, if you want.

    I’m asking “I’m surprised Yeshiva guys know hilchos niddah, which is one of the many questions they ask on imamaother to determine if you really are a woman, because very few men learn hilchos niddah”

    The answers have been posted in the coffee room before. They are: about an hour, and meat.

    Also, I knew those answers when I was single.

    Writersoul: my first post makes mathematical sense. The age gap is only a problem because there is also population growth. If there was no population growth, then age gap would not matter.

    A girl would be better off marrying someone who is looking for what she’ll be in 6 months than what she is now. If her ruchniyos is so unstable that 6 months of being single is going to sink it, then its completely superficial.

    Marriage is not a lock on anything. When people get married while their ruchniyos is still in flux, it often creates a lot of tension down the road, frequently breaking families r”l.

    How about if everyone who got married in say the last 15 years would get divorved, and the rich dude from LA could match us back up with who he thinks we should have married based on his theories?

    Well, they do weddings also, but the minhag is to sit shiva afterwards. So I guess I hear your point.

    Half the people on this thread don’t care about chessed and the other half are looking to talk to other women.

    The leading proponent of The Sinas Chinum is Donald Trump.

    I’d say that deciding that anyone who disagrees with you must be hateful, is a very clear sinas chinam.

    So basically, what you’re doing.

    Also, here’s the relevant paragraph from the op-ed:

    Time for a quick reality check. Despite the hysteria from the political class and the media, smoking doesn’t kill. In fact, 2 out of every three smokers does not die from a smoking related illness and 9 out of ten smokers do not contract lung cancer. This is not to say that smoking is good for you…. news flash: smoking is not good for you. If you are reading this article through the blue haze of cigarette smoke you should quit. The relevant question is, what is more harmful to the nation, second hand smoke or back handed big government disguised in do-gooder healthcare rhetoric.

    You clearly misrepresented what he said, in an effort to make a political point to nobody, because nobody here cares about this, because the alternative is the liberals who are going to destroy the world.

    So why did you lie?

    Liberals are the enemy of all humankind, and are responsible for many more deaths than smoking. The level of denial in this thread is chilling.

    What I tell my single children:

    “When you live under my roof, you live by my rules.”

    CTLawyer: While that’s completely true, it doesn’t mean that any rule you make is a good idea and best for your kids.

    For example, you could make a rule that your kids need to go to bed by 6PM every night, and eat saurkraut every day for lunch. And it is your roof, so it is your rules. But that would be a bad rule to make.

    Seriously? Speed dating? To me, speed dating is “She’s pretty, she’s not, he’s cute, he’s not”

    Are you a 14 year old boy? That would explain why you think that.

    I think it’s that natural means made from things that are ordinarily thought of as food. So if you make cherry flavor out of pigs feet, that’s natural.

    Artificial means made from things that are not ordinarily thought of as food. So if you make cherry flavor out of wood, that’s artificial.

    I thought a kzayis follows the amount of flour, am I wrong on that? So definitionally it is impossible to have more or less in a kzayis, except by using a flour that is lower carb–does that exist?

    I know one choshuv Rav in Brooklyn who hitched a ride on Shabbos with a frum doctor who was returning home after delivering a baby in the hospital. I assume there was no zilzul Shabbos in that situation.

    I once carried on shabbos, outside the eruv.
