    Sam2- i checked up the Gaon and i think i was right. he seems to be saying his heter on the cases that fit with the second din of tosfos on A”Z 11a that things they were noheg because of hevel vishtus have a heter of ksiva bi’orayso, on which the gaon says that us doing it first is good enough. He’s specifically talking about malbush in sh”a and i think that anyhting due to A”Z would still be ossur- like egg painting. think matzevos-same thing.

    Sam2- im currently learning the sugya (whatup!) so im in for this thread. i think even if we did it first but then they started doing it, it would still be ossur, bifrat if their practice is mikushar to avodah zara. the taaynah of doing first is only if theres a mikkor in the torah, not stam a practice.

    hi guys. isnt this debate already old? all rabbonim say one thing, (except MO) and everyone else knows better. old news. i think its funny that health has to fight a battle where the lines are clearly drawn by halacha and RF gets to say “ya, but…” Isnt that ridiculous? yup.teens will forever be doing things wrong. its how Hashem made the world. for those of you who are naive enough to believe that keeping them open in hangout mode will keep them from pursuing worse things outside pizza shop, thats silly. theyll do whatever it is anyway. but fighting rabbonim and halacha pesuka is even dumber.

    yichusdik- i think your questions point to the mehalchim of the chassidim in understanding yomim tovim and why they are special. check out the classics on pesach and youll understand, at least partially, what they could have been making a yom tov over.

    rationalfrummoe- the book quotes him. they dont write a thing on there own in that piece. its cited. another point- theres a teshuvos chasam sofer where he says he never ate any veggies aside from those required by judaism ie marror throughout the year due to bugs. stop picking and choosing.

    Sharaga, as a current resident of yerushalayim, its clear that many, if not most, of the americans lliving here are more makpid than they would be on kashrus in america. it perfectly convenient and really doesnt require much effort. the hechsherim in question could very well be better than the OU, but on standards here they dont cut it.

    what gets me more are the guys who wont chas veshlom wear anyhting identifiable as brand name or flashy for fear of not seeming yeshivish, but are sure to spend 200 dollars on a tie and a grand on a suit because only the best is good enough for them. ichsa.

    GAW- while dating, they are off limits. everyone else hypersexualized everything in society, and if youre familiar with bochurim today, you would understand and know how the slightest trigger is still a trigger. it also diplays a level of heimishkeit that certain big people deem unappropriate at this point in a relationship.

    With regard to your first point, i disagree. obviously i dont mean have kids and make them chareidim. i mean that the goal of our existence is to be mikadesh shem shomayim. you are digressing from the centrasl point of our argument which is whether or not factors that can cloud logical judgment should be introduced into a decision that is nearly entirely logical. for some reason you think that two people should develop taivos that preclude their ability to make an unbiased decision. you alone agree that a relationship with ones WIFE should be that of love etc., not with your date.

    oomis- again, i said people will always have the same biological makeup. thats a given. it does not matter if people do not read/watch/enjoy secular entertainment. they still pick up that society around them has taken a three letter word and made it the absolute goal and focus of society, whereas fifty or even 20 or 30 years ago, although people were into it, the focus of every song/movie/tv show etc. wasnt to talk about all things prust. i think this is clear, if youve ever watched a film from this year and 20 years ago. i honestly dont think there really is room for discussion. if you realy dont see a difference between the generations then you cant agree with me. i just dont understand how you could be so blind.

    Gaw- the point of dating is to figure out if two people can build a marriage and home together, to continue passing on the torah and mesorah we’ve lived with for a very very long time. yes, love and and the relationship shebo are integral factors in this being possible, but they are heichee timtzas, not the endgame. to that end, we date with a whole bunch of rules, to allow for a setting in which to best make a decision about the other party. intentionally creating an atmosphere where hormones get involved clouds the vision of the two youngins, and allows for other cheshbonos, ones that may not be in line with the real reason your getting married. thats pshat in the name thing. and in case your answer is “well, i dont feel funny when i call a random girl by her first name”, these guys do/will.

    oomis- id like to point out that ive heard from big rabbonim that the taaveh of the times back then wasnt for hefkerus and pritzus as today. society in general was less focused on all things sexual, and although people havent changed, the societal norms, and therefore the degree to which we must go to counteract them, indeed have. that requires some sort of system to keep young people within acceptable boundaries. there you go.
