    Derech- the mneforshim still say that whatever parts of a neis are able to be done within the gedarim of tevah still happen that way. no one is denying the supernatural nature of the mabul. i also think its a nice baalibatish question.

    i dont want to step on anyones toes, but girls are hardwired and think differently then boys. the classic test is to aske your wife or mother or sister if they would like to hear tomorrows chaburah. start with a gemara in gittin. the gemara discusses the halachah pertaining to a man who is stuck in a pit and yells up to the people above to write and give a get to his wife.

    if you are a guy, you will say, ok vaiter.

    if you are a girl, you have just asked yourself,”Why doesnt anyone just take him out of the stupid pit?”

    it worked on my mother, sister, wife, and SIL. and theyre good at math.

    DY- rashi in RH i think on yud ches amud beis towards the bottom says that because klal yisroel was noheg chanuka for a long time and everyone was noheg to treat it as a quasi-y’t therefore it is kitorah. but the end of rashi says ulichain eino nachon livatlo, which would be mashma that this concept isnt mamash mamash. im remembering, not quoting.

    DY- i always understood that gemara, which, incidentally, comes up in a few places, to mean that we have a mesorah on those machlokisim and even if we forgot who exactly said what, we know that the psak in those cases is likulah, so it doesnt matter who said what, even when dealing with 2 bar plugtas where there is a general klal who we pasken like.

    jewsihf-ok, once we’re sure its my caveman attitude, I can respond in kind. my post was very clear. The discussion at hand was unconcerned with a different nisayon. what wasnt clear? a woman nisayon to dress inappropriately and her nisayon to look are two different nisyonos. we are comparing the frequency of each gendewr falling to that specific nisayon.

    “we were arguing whehter a mans taava to look is bigger or not than a womans taava to dress inappropriately…”

    that is the discussion. if you want we can argue if wimmin have a bigger taava for treif, i dont mind.

    “Obviously if it gets to the point…” there lies the difference. that is a mans starting point. its not your fault you dont get it.

    truth is, i think its really well known. you know the line in the goyish articles,”why is it always about BLANK?” there, again is the difference. wimmin.

    jewishf- not only is it chukas hagoyim, which btw has nothing to do with how motzui it iords about it.s, R moshe has a teshuva where he uses very, very strong language about men wearing rings. even in 2013. and toeiva is still toeiva. even in 2013.

    jewishf-stop making up your own def. of chillul Hashem. it is a real chillul shem Hashem when things HKBH calls an abomination are being admitted publicly and youre feeling compassion. I’m not from the same crowd as R shachter and dont personally consider him my/our manhig, but he put it very logically. this is about halachah, not emotions.

    two considerations. are you going to EY after marriage? the shassin there are considerably cheaper, so if you are going wait till there to buy it. secondly, ask him. every printer has their own shtiks and what one person considers a maalah can be annoying to someone else. definitely find out from your chosson.

    pba is right. convictions in the US dont, or at least shouldnt, be toluy in the emotions of society and the jury. there are specific criteria for the jury to convict. its that simple.

    mz- ill try to look it up. acc. to R chaim soloveitchik one neednt be kofer in HKBH on purpose to be an apikores. “nebach an apikores is oicht an apikores”. if one doesnt believe in the ikrim, he is a kofer. i dont see the pitiful state of our ability to be mekarev them makes the ois-apikorsim.

    Sam2- i found the gemara you mentioned and i dont see how it says what you mean at all. the gemara is explaining why a baal who is morid pays half of a what a moreddes pays. from rashi it appears to be a daled vihay type of svara.

    jewishf- firstly, i never spoke about that. that wasnt the topic of discussion. we were arguing whehter a mans taava to look is bigger or not than a womans taava to dress inappropriately. agav, this nekuda came up when i was being miva’er the inyan, and from what i heard from a few people, the feelings and thoughts are different even when a woman has a taavah to look.

    mz- i dont know which chazon ish you are speaking about, but i dont understand how anyone nowadays can be considered so . TS”N means they cant/dont know beter, due to a lack of coming in contact with frum jews. that doesnt apply to most reform and conservative jews.

    i am not being smug. my level of religious practice and adherence has nothing to do with their status. actually, you are accusing me of something for absolutely no reason, and are being cheshed bikshairim. and during the nein teg. wow.

    pba- i thought of that before i posted. the answer is poshut- that is the nature of the nisayon. just to explain before i explain, ill give a hakdamah. in the thread a few weeks ago where this debate started, the hanachah was agreed upon by both sides that these two yitzrei hara are two sides of a coin. in other words, a man wants to look and a woman wants to be seen/appreciated. accordingly, the very nature of the way the nisayon presents itself cant be a cop out. a womans nisayon isnt while locked in her bedroom, it’s to be seen on the street. a mans nisayon is to see her there, and look, or look away. the fact that the womans strength in this area can be judged by those around her, fakert; it has to be factored in and still be not be overcome. hu raya this is possible is that there are many frum women who know people are judging them and cant help it. on this hanachah we say that if you take a poll, men will be oiver more often.

    ill type this over more clearly when i sober up
