Ruff – If there would be less illegal driveways, there would be more parking.
One guy told me his rav told him he doesn’t have to tell his dates he is divorced.
Don’t believe everything someone claims their rav told them. On this site alone we hear many alleged claims in anonymous rav’s names. Unless there is a name of the rav attached, discount it.
“But there is no reason to disparage those who use their tvs in a judicious and positive way, to enhance their enjoyment of the world around them.”
The Gedolim — across the board — have been disparaging TV ownership (the principle not the people in violation necessarily) and viewing for many decades now.
AZ,
I pointed out this generation’s unmarryable girls are proportionally not different than the last 2 or 3 generations. Ofcourse said you could disprove that. Please do.
What was different in the last 2 or 3 generations than this generation?
Mailman are prohibited from accepting a gift.
So who is a Yaakov and who is an Eisev?
“Shouldnt be here” best explained a Jewish marriage.
Hair covering is a necessity; hair covering with a shaitel is not a necessity.
Homeowner:
If you find me one cable subscriber in NYC — a city of 8,000,000 — who subscribes to cable and locks out every channel other than Metro Traffic and Weather, get back to me and we’ll talk.
Sometimes I wonder how some people on this forum are married.
With Chupa and Kedushin. But its been many years already. Has it changed for the younger couples?
No. What kind of junk are you trying to post?
B”H for the censorship!
Oh, and how are the “weather-girls” dressed while reading the weather?
(You didn’t think that was coincidental, did you? Nope, its meant so you should keep watching. Same reason the car manufacturers use prusta girls next to the ads with their cars.)
Homeowner:
Please elucidate to the world how you have a TV with ONLY access to the Traffic and Weather Channel? And does the Traffic and Weather Channel have ADVERTISEMENTS? Do the ads have women in short-sleeve shirts (or far far worse)? Don’t excuse it that you see far worse in the street, as that is no excuse to see more of it. Especially inside the sanctuary of YOUR HOME.
AC:
You never heard of a baal teshuva?
EDITED
aries, Nowhere did I mention a pasuk. I mentioned the Shulchan Aruch, Gemorah, and a bunch of poskim.

There is nothing wrong with naked animals. There is something wrong with half-naked humans.
When you’re children start acting violently and immorally, don’t cry that you never taught them any of that. The TV did.
Mishna/Gemora in Kiddushin 29:
The gemara says married women, who cannot perform the mitzva of Kibud Av V’Eim due to a situation described by the gemara as, “ein sipeik be-yada la’asot mipenei she-reshut acheirim aleha” (literally, “she does not have the ability to perform because other people’s authority [namely, the husband] is upon her). According to the gemara, married women are legally exempted from kibbud av ve-eim since their primary obligations relate to their husband. A married woman has responsibilities toward her husband which take priority over her obligations to her parents. By marrying, she enters her husband’s ‘reshus’, (unlike a man, who does not change the identity of his reshus with marriage.)
Halacha: A husband’s obligation of Kibud Av V’Eim comes first before his obligation to his wife. A wife’s obligations to her husband comes first, before her obligation of Kibud Av V’Eim.

You can’t get by a commercial even on something like a “nature channel” without multiple images of pritzus!

What “filtered TV”? No such thing – that will filter out all gun violence, cursing, untznius women, etc? THERE IS NO SUCH THING.
I await for sourced numbers. Until then, at least, I strongly maintain my position.
More like redstate than daily kos.
Well said “Shouldnt be here”. Your 40 plus years of marriage can serve as an example for us all.
aries, no it wasn’t. You argued against a halacha based upon your ignorance of it.
I posted a boatload of halachic sources, but it hasn’t gone up. Perhaps a MOD can repost or undelete it. But what I cited is halachic fact.
Eisev carries the sword, not Yaakov.
Are you a Yaakov or an Eisev?
aries, YW is filter approved.
There is more schar from learning with a pashut gemorah without the teitch.
not true
aries, You’ve said previously that since you are a woman you don’t know halachic sources, and therefore do not comment on it. So how do you – an admitted halachic neophyte — come around disputing a halachic fact I cited?
Exactly, I have neither!
Do you have either?
He didn’t even reach 120, so what limit? You know anyone recently who lived to 121 or older? Saying ad meah v’esrim is the way to go.
Next thread, please.
Why would older single girls of the upcoming generation go OTD anymore than older single girls who didn’t get married of the previous 2 or 3 generations?
You don’t have a higher proportion of girls from this generation being unable to get married, then you had in the past 3 generations.
AZ,
Just to clarify, your pay-to-play scheme proposes that only the girl pay up, not the boy, correct?
The sword is the sign of Eisev, not Yaakov.
How does a snorer stop snoring.
What’s “DH” stand for?
“Having said that both the husband and the wife have the obligation of kibud av v’em to both sets of parents.”
Very true. Though a wife is first halachicly obligated to her husbands needs and then her parents afterwards, while the husbands order of halachic obligations are first kibud av v’eim and then his wife.
Men tend to respond intellectually, while women tend to respond to issues emotionally. That is typically the most accurate indicator of the posters gender.
TV is horrendous and unfiltered internet is much much worse. One is not a stira on the other.
AOM: You live outside of NYC? Or did you manage to get a license in NYC?
What is a “date” (that you question if it is healthy they see)?
gefen – did you also post this on the ‘daas torah’ site?
I saw the exact same post there, made a day ago.
Good idea at 118 or 119. At 100, ad meah v’esrim still works.
Do teshuva now.
You don’t know if you’ll be around to do it tomorrow.
So effectively the pay-to-play shadchanim will have to have a price list of
Boys – No Charge
Girls – $150
for this discussion to even be semi-practical.
The way it was put was inelegant, but the underlying point is not an invalid one.
You can’t make each side pay, since the guy will not take shidduchim from shadchanim that charge him by the number of dates, and the shadchanim need the guys more than the guys need the shadchanim.
popa: Early in the thread there was an attack on the way of life practiced by the posters you reference (prior to either of them even commenting here.) You hadn’t protested that attack, yet here you are full of protestation, with the shoe on the other foot.
In any event, to the best of my knowledge (and I stand to be correct otherwise), the current dating practices you and I practice have no basis in traditional minhugim that are supported by gedolei acharonim, but rather are an American developed system. I don’t see anything the two posters you criticized said, that is beyond the pale of discussion.
P.S. You can also criticize Rambam using words straight from the gedolei rishonim. Nevertheless, as in our case here, both Rambam and his dissenters have subsequently been fully accepted in the Torah world, and reviving any criticism of old is both invalid and counterproductive.
Apparently they are not in contact with their Rav on this issue. The responsibility to set the record straight rests with all of us. There was no personal bashing.
