@Yochy — The reason I called it a theory was because I didn’t want the discussion too focused on debating the Age Gap reality. I wanted to more discuss the Musical Chairs that is the net effect of the Age Gap.
JosephParticipantLilmod, regarding an Arab or any goy, there’s certainly no concept or benefit of tinok shenishba. A gentile who does an aveira even completely b’shogeg is completely chayiv no less than b’meizid. Obviously we’re only discussing Yidden in this context.
August 30, 2017 9:45 am at 9:45 am in reply to: The best & worst shidduch advice you’ve been told. #1351114JosephParticipantBest advice: Get married young.
Worst advice: Wait before jumping into marriage.
JosephParticipantAmerica Should Trade Taiwan for North Korea
North Korea is a threat to world peace and a nuclear menace to the United States. Bill Clinton allowed North Korea to get away with a nuclear build out. Hopefully Donald Trump will put an end to North Korea’s nuclear capabilities by either, preferably, getting them to surrender their nukes — or, in the absence of that, going to war with North Korea before they develop ICBM’s that can successfully deliver nukes to the US mainland.
While the latter case will unfortunately bear a significant cost in lives, better for that war to take place on the Korean peninsula and that area of the world than to wait long enough that the NK madmen can take American lives on American soil with nuclear weapons.
JosephParticipantNo.
JosephParticipantA fine is indeed not a good idea. An arrest to remove the offender from the public to prevent further offense would be a more appropriate response.
JosephParticipantIs the active killer from my previous comment a tzaddik?

If it isn’t accompanied by the boys also marrying younger, it will. If it is accompanied by the boys, it won’t. But even in the former case where it will worsen it overall from a societal viewpoint, an individual girl (and her parents) will still benefit themselves and reduce their exposure to the risk by marrying younger (even if it is unhelpful from a societal view.)
JosephParticipantubiquitin: Was the U.S. not a democracy until Jim Crow was repealed in the 1960s? The blacks were not considered to be slaves or property under Jim Crow, but nor were they considered to be equals to whites.
I don’t believe democracy is predicated on equality. Equality is a newer thing. Democracy long predated it,
JosephParticipantMidwesterner: It’s in the Shulchan Aruch.
August 29, 2017 8:12 pm at 8:12 pm in reply to: The Age Gap and the Musical Chairs of Shidduchim👴👶🏻🎶💺💺 #1350859JosephParticipantubiquitin: This thread is premised on accepting the age gap theory. If you don’t accept it (which is an entirely fine opinion), this discussion is irrelevant to you. I do think that the age gap theory is widely accepted as indeed being the case in the Litvish and MO communities.
JosephParticipantJim Crow laws weren’t about slaves.
JosephParticipantMeno: None of the sources prohibiting murder discuss killing in a high rise tower.
JosephParticipantIt is a practical hygiene tip.
What is the Halacha in Shulchan Aruch is that it is assur to take a shower after going to the Mikva.
JosephParticipantMeno: Those sources are all good. Some more direct than others but all definitely related to the issue.
JosephParticipantAvi: Anything the Torah authority issues an authoritative statement on.
JosephParticipantRY23, are you learning well from the master? 😜
JosephParticipantDevarim 23:15, Vayikra 19:2 (incl. Rashi), Bereshis 24:65, Tehilim 45:14, Brachos 24a, Shabbos 62b, Rashi on Yishayah 47:2, Shulchan Aruch OC 75, S”A EH 73, Mishna Brura 75:2, Baal HaTanya on Shulchan Aruch 2:1.
JosephParticipantWas the United States a democracy before the Civil War? Was the United States a democracy before the Jim Crow laws were dismantled in the 1960s?
Yes to both.
JosephParticipantIn the Conservative and Reform denominations that may be so. Not in Torah Judaism.
JosephParticipantWhat if every week a person kills two people and literally saves the lives of five people who would’ve been killed otherwise (by someone else). Every week, repeatedly.
Does his saving more than double the number of people he kills mean he’s a tzaddik?
JosephParticipantA nursing mother is halachicly strictly prohibited from doing so in public. Especially considering that she can do it in private.
JosephParticipantWho said a key factor of democracy is equality? Was America not a democracy when it was founded and had slavery? It very much was a democracy then. And clearly equality is certainly not a “key factor” of democracy.
JosephParticipantHe didn’t do much of any good. And his legacy is, thankfully, being dismantled piece-by-piece every day, and rather quickly at that, by President Donald J. Trump.
JosephParticipantMy point in that analogy was regarding someone who specifically delays shidduchim and marriage. Considering the widely acknowledged “age gap” specifically posits that there’s more girls than boys in the shidduch scene and that there aren’t enough boys to marry all the girls, why is the analogy off?
August 29, 2017 1:16 am at 1:16 am in reply to: Be honest; do you (and/or does your spouse) iron clothes? #1349895JosephParticipantMy Eved Knani does it.
August 29, 2017 12:56 am at 12:56 am in reply to: Which CR Poster do you want to meet in real life? #1349888JosephParticipantNo, I must thank you. Now I know where to repose.
JosephParticipantShowers should be limited to once a week in times of severe drought.
JosephParticipantRight to… in private.
August 29, 2017 12:24 am at 12:24 am in reply to: Additional Societal Casualties Of The Shidduch Crisis #1349827JosephParticipantMammele: The very Chasidish mosdos typically charge a pittance in tuition when compared to Litvish mosdos. (Forget about the arm and leg charged by MO schools.) It would seem unlikely tuition would cause this among Chasidim. That leaves housing. Is housing costs really quantifiably affecting family size in KJ and NS?
While on topic, in your estimation what are the ranges and what are the averages for family size (for families completed bearing children) between the various neighborhood/locations, progressiveness and groups?
JosephParticipantGH: Whether it should be done discreetly or not should not be the mother’s choice. It should, by law, be mandatory that it is forbidden to do in public view.
JosephParticipantTrial and error.
August 28, 2017 11:03 pm at 11:03 pm in reply to: Which CR Poster do you want to meet in real life? #1349806JosephParticipantWhere is their natural habitat?
JosephParticipantR4: You fail to see a difference in severity between exposing what you suggested and what I suggested?
JosephParticipantRefuah Shelamo.
JosephParticipantMazal Tov!!
JosephParticipantWhat’s your basis to assert that he did not say it?
JosephParticipantAre you entitled to disagree with Rav Dovid?
JosephParticipantAccording to the meshugana courts, you can publicly nurse while working or while on the train or plane.
JosephParticipantGH: In your circles you might be marrying for the money; in Torah families that is not the case.
JosephParticipantL’havdil Elef Havdalos!
JosephParticipantOf course it is an approximation. It would be virtually impractical to have set it exactly, which would result in fractions of hours/minutes that would need to be calculated each year.
August 28, 2017 7:50 pm at 7:50 pm in reply to: Chareidi Extremists Protest On Shabbos Outside Home Of Store Owner…’ opinions? #1349696JosephParticipantRight, apy, with chinuch and yiras shamayim you should have a TV in your home because “surely” with your chinuch and yiras shamayim you’ll never tune in to the wrong stations. You could even subscribe to the New York Post because surely no one will turn to the wrong pages.
August 28, 2017 7:49 pm at 7:49 pm in reply to: Additional Societal Casualties Of The Shidduch Crisis #1349694JosephParticipantMore insulated communities are not nearly as familiar with Hollywood and all the shmutz “marriages”in general society that poisons personal marriages of those that become influenced from society. Hence their greater happiness and lower divorce rate.
JosephParticipantWhat vices did Shindler do?
JosephParticipantOURT: Setting up an Israeli Yeshivish Ashkenazic Brisker boy with an American traditional Sephardic Modern BT girl should be done as quickly as setting him up with an Ashkenazic Israeli Yeshivish girl since we should pay no heed to background?
August 28, 2017 5:07 pm at 5:07 pm in reply to: Chareidi Extremists Protest On Shabbos Outside Home Of Store Owner…’ opinions? #1349363JosephParticipantReally? Frum Yidden selling unfiltered data activated smartphones to frum Yidden are like pharmacists?!
August 28, 2017 5:07 pm at 5:07 pm in reply to: Additional Societal Casualties Of The Shidduch Crisis #1349342JosephParticipantPeople who know their rights are also more likely to get arrested.
August 28, 2017 4:53 pm at 4:53 pm in reply to: Additional Societal Casualties Of The Shidduch Crisis #1349288JosephParticipantAnecdotal stories from who your daughter is friends with does little to change the demographic and statistical reality witnessed by batei dinim.
August 28, 2017 4:38 pm at 4:38 pm in reply to: Additional Societal Casualties Of The Shidduch Crisis #1349195JosephParticipantSyag: How much experience do you have dealing with batei dinim cases of gittin? What I stated is clearly visible to anyone involved with batei dinim.
