Sam: You haven’t addressed gregaaron’s point early in the thread where he said:

Actually, I think we hold that purely al pi halacha, there is no reason that he CAN’T divorce her (last mishna in Gittin). It’s strongly discouraged, of course, but there’s a 3-way machlokes and I think we go the third way.

tryinghard: How old was that child?

I will say I would rather break shabbos and get an averia so that someone does not fall or get hurt. Let hashem decide if I was right or wrong.

If you are wrong (which it seems you are), you get the death penalty.

Does Shulchan Aruch state that under certain circumstances a wife may be moredes?

Was 96 a typo?

How is the citation of the Sefer Chofetz Chaim Ch. 6 on lo yilbash out of context? And if the S”A permits trimming by a mustache, the implication would be it is different (i.e. not permitted) by a beard.

And what do you call, for example, Torah V’Daas or Beis HaTalmud alumni?

Goyim can work the grid.

pba: No reason to suspect her husband. He is probably another of her victims.

bm: There’s no sakanas nefashos for primarily yehudim.

zd: Even in a Chareidi society (i.e. when the Beis HaMikdash was standing) there are non-Jews around who can do certain tasks that are prohibited for a Jew to do on Shabbos.

Colombian: I must commend you on your good taste in choosing an appropriate sweater promoting the place we all love.

They’re normal. Otherwise they’d be marching in the pride parade. But they’re bad.

If the sheva mitzvos bnei noach have to do with torah, then democracy fits in to #7.

Using that logic you can equally say in North Korea that the hereditary communist dictatorship fits into the Torah.

In any event, halacha alwaya takes precedence when there is a conflict.

Married to a doctor? So there’s the answer. He is being checked out!

squeak: So why, then, does the OPEC cartel have to take action to artificially raise prices at times?

Certainly not degenerate Western standards.

Sam2: IOW, you are trying to tell us that Rav Moshe was only against boy/girl relationships cause Rav Moshe was a New Yorker?

And out-of-towners are better at maintaining so-called “platonic relationships”?

I must admit I got a good chuckle out of those theories.

hello: Perhaps the fundamental point Rav Elyashev used to prohibit it is the same as the fundamental point the Chofetz Chaim used to prohibit it. Otherwise, why not clarify the point with Rav Elyashev?

bpt is correct that girls shouldn’t dress to be attractive, but is mistaken that that alone will keep the guys ay bay. It will help, but there will still be problems.

old man: In America and Eretz Yisroel people are also very makpid to have water and a basin next to the bed.

mommamia22: Are you seriously suggesting that you are taking “virtual” advice from anonymous members of the cyber community over the assistance provided to you in real life? And you are assuming these anonymous posters have “more life experience” even though for all you know they may be 15 year old adolescents pretending to be 60 year old professors or grandparents — all while having a good time projecting their false virtual image to boot? And on as serious an issue as to leaving a marriage? Really?

By goyim (unlike yidden) even the thought of planning to do an aveira that they never did, they are culpable for it.

Ever notice how atheists suddenly cry out to G-d when they are dying?

ICOT: I always thought it was the parents duty to be mechanech the boys in middos.
