Another day, another armed thug fleeing from the police with a rap sheet and a stolen loaded gun is lawfully shot by law enforcement after turning towards the officers gun in-hand, and another Black Lives Matter riot occurs.
Who said she’s wrong? Just because you feel she’s wronged you doesn’t necessarily mean she objectively wronged you.
You should drop out of college and go to a beis yaakov seminary until you find a chosson.
Wolf, when you made your years old comment about some never being mature and responsible enough to drive, what was your thinking about such people ever getting or not getting a license?
R. Bechhofer, do you lurk in the coffee room here often?
Others may never be mature and responsible enough.
Wolf: In that case you won’t let your child ever get a license?

lilmod, why would anyone mistakenly think you’re more modern than them? You are obviously very frum and eidel.
What’s the weather like in Cincinnati?
Meno, are you an agricultural engineer?
If the older sibling refuses to give reshus for a younger one to marry first, when asked, what would you suggest?
He writes news articles and interviews people in the news, in addition to his interpretation of news events on how he perceives them to fit with his hashkafa. He’s also a high school rebbi at one of the local yeshivas in the Long Island area.
Would you recommend a frum Yid go to Sedom on business?
There are different shittas. Some poskim are very strict and hold one must wait for all their older siblings to get married prior to getting married themselves. Another shitta is to only wait for siblings of the same gender.
In extenuating circumstances the above minhagim can be eased. Others are meikel in general.

Wow, now even Syag is on the verge of becoming in agreement with me. Not there yet, but did y’all see this post a few minutes ago where she literally was about to purchase a book I recommended — on a deeply sensitive religious topic, no less. True another poster changed her mind prior to purchase, but the mere fact she seriously contemplated purchasing it merely on my say so, itself says a lot.
What do you say about that, golfer? My influence here is truly transformative.
I always knew the folks here would eventually come to agree with me. It took some longer than others, but eventually everyone comes around.
Even takahmamash came around five months ago. See:

And I agree with all of yichusdik’s comment.
The only outstanding question is whether Clinton will win a landslide or win a close election. I’m leaning more to her winning a landslide being more likely. But the worst case scenario, for her, is winning a close election.
Who cares. Clinton’s election has been a foregone conclusion ever since Trump became the presumptive nominee.
It differed. In Poland it differed in one way and in Italy it differed another way. If you saw a Jew in the street on a weekday you would immediately know it’s a Jew.
“They don’t accept the written Torah as an inherently binding legal text”
And that is exactly what makes them apikorsum.
Jews have always dressed differently than non-Jews. At all times in Jewish history there has been a Jewish mode of dress. It may have differed between different Jewish customs in different locals, but each place dressed distinctively Jewish. (Other than the Hellenists and other, later, assimilators.)
absan, you’re absolutely correct.
In 1992, the Conservative Committee on Jewish Law and Standards affirmed the Levitical prohibitions on male homosexual conduct.
In 2006 the CJLS effectively overturned their previous affirmation on the Torah prohibition.
Did “their Torah” change between 1992 and 2006? Or, shall we say, the Torah didn’t change but the political winds did.
Ah, so he’ll eat from non-meshichist Lubavitcher shochtim.
I specifically made clear it isn’t the fact that they violate Torah laws, that they are aware are Torah prohibitions, that makes them apikorsum. Many people, out of weakness or otherwise, regularly violate Torah laws. They are not apikorsum as they do not deny the Torah prohibition’s binding nature, even when they’re violating it.
What makes them apikorsum is the fact that they know something is a Torah law and, yet, they declare that they reject the applicability of said Torah law. Even if they never violate said Torah law they are, nevertheless, apikorsum.
jf02, you completely misconstrued my comment. Of all things we’ve argued about this is the last one I had any feminist connotations in mind. To break it down in simpler terms, other than the meshichist issue, to whom it is applicable, there is no other plausible halachic differentiation between a non-meshichist Lubavitcher shochet and your local reliable Orthodox shochet.
But to settle this point, instead of arguing with me, why don’t you ask your husband for his reason and report back.
apy, zicher a tzadik like you who keeps his eyes always focused on the ground wouldn’t have any hasaga on this inyan. But the seforim hakedoshim are abundant in admonitions on the mode and choices women make in dressing.
We’re enjoying talking to ourselves here.
Syag is one of my alter-egos.
we could care less what you think we are concerned with what other women think whether we are dressed for a wedding or a trip to the supermarket.
They dress to kill other women?
How do your sisters know what men think?
He won’t have any good halachic explanation then.
jf02, seriously? How could you say something like what you just posted if you claim to be an Orthodox Jew? “Our Torah is not their Torah.” Come again? Our Torah is every Jew’s Torah, like it or not. And anyone who thinks, feels or says that “Our Torah is not their Torah” is an apikorus on that basis alone.
Secondly, and in addition to the above, no Jew denies that the Torah shebksav, not just the shebalpeh, literally and explicitly forbids homosexual relations. The Reform and Conservatives, including the majority of their everyday laymen, know the Torah forbids it but simply reject that explicit Torah commandment. That makes them apikorsum.
The Oxford English Dictionary lists the word irregardless. It originated in the mid-19th century and is informal.
