Syag, it’s a metzius that adultery is more prevalent than homosexuality. The only real difference between the two in contemporary times is that the former is widely acknowledged by virtually all as wrong whereas the latter was also so acknowledged until relatively very recently in history when through great political and media effort society was brainwashed into changing its views towards accepting its normalization. Something that has yet to occur with the former. (Give it some more time.)

Given that the former is far more prevalent, perhaps you can explain to us how that it is that you’re somehow able to “attest” that the latter is a “large group” when I think you’ll admit (correct me please if otherwise) that you don’t know of a “large group” of the former, despite that sin being far more prevalent than the latter.

You’re being unaware of any large group of adulterers isn’t because they don’t exist. It is because they don’t make themselves known to you. Which is far better than it they had made their sinful nature known to others. Yet the existence of the “regretful” homosexuals, you attest, are made known to you in a quantity consisting of being (even just from what you know and can attest to) a “large group”.

I acknowledge that you indicate that this “large group” of homosexuals that you attest to do admit that their sinful activities may not and should not be engaged in by themselves, despite their continually doing so, to their regret. But I do severely question how it came to be that they made their sin known to outsiders (such as yourself), whereas other sinners (such as adulterers, which as a much larger group would be better known had they made themselves known) tend to not do so; and appropriately not.

That’s false. The people who talk during davening do not claim interrupting davening is okay to do. The people who steal from the government do not claim stealing is okay to do. The people who cheat on exams do not claim cheating is okay to do.

They all know and will acknowledge if asked that cheating, stealing and interrupting is wrong.

The toeivaniks not only sin in private, they proudly parade about their sin. They create symbols like rainbows to advertise their sinning and promote it.

And if asked if that activity is wrongful and shouldn’t be done, virtually every one of them will tell you there’s nothing wrong with doing it.

Dinkins was a historic disaster. Dinkins makes de Blasio look like a saint.

The old Italian and Irish families moved out of New York as the criminal elements were moving in. That vote is now long gone.

For the same reason I don’t wear a yellow hat.

Effectively, the situation in America today, especially in the media and among the street mobs, is that any time a police officer is doing his duty in faithfully, fairly and properly upholding the law, if the officer is white and the criminal is black, any enforcement action the law enforcement officer is required to carry out against the criminal is deemed wrong and murderous.

Instead of handcuffing the criminals, the left-wing mobsters in BLM, the media, leaders of the rioters, looters and anarchists together with Democrat Party politicians are handcuffing the police officers. And then falsely accusing them and charging them for their own political benefits to appease the street mobs.

CTL:

With the camp shut down, my daughter is chalushing to come to the CTL compound. She’s literally marking the days on the calendar until school’s over. (Yeah, they are sneaking in to the school building against regulations for the girls to say goodbye to each other after not seeing one another for months.)

But I must forewarn you that my daughter is not very keen about keeping on her face mask. You’ll be busy all summer enforcing that — unless you have the pull to convince Gov. Ned Lamont to ease up on that requirement.

You’re avoiding the point.

“I have never witnessed any of my coworkers performing prohibited sexual acts, so your analogy is not valid.”

Wolf: You deem theft to be worse than sexual sins, so you’re saying you don’t view the analogy as valid as you’ll speak out against theft but you’ll refuse to speak out against sexual sins?

Wolf: If you witnessed a co-worker stealing company property or witnessed a neighbor beating other people’s children, would you then publicly declare yourself “unworthy enough to judge anyone else as to whether or not they are virtuous or not, so I make it a point not to hate anyone”?

If the final number is in the ballpark of 240,000, it will be within Anthony Fauci’s March estimate. If it is below that range, the country did better than expected.

This isn’t the first epidemic in American history.

Hopefully he’ll make it to the November ballot for the general election, so I can vote for him in one of those very rare occasions that I’d vote for a Democrat.

Hopefully the entire Atlanta police department will go on strike so the demagogues can have their dream “defund the police” become reality with the closure of the police department and Atalanta, within days from now, becoming a declared lawless zone that’s sealed off from outsiders, to prevent outsiders being victimized by a lawless society.

According to the CDC, in the 2017-2018 flu season between 61,000 and 95,000 Americans died. In the 2014-2015 flu season between 51,000 and 64,000 Americans died.

Yet relatively very few people knew that many people died of the flu those years despite those numbers. And those years didn’t have a major epidemic.

jackk: Fauci’s high end of the number as of March was 240,000; not 200,000.

Anthony Fauci, in *March*, predicted the death rate would be upwards of 240,000. The numbers we’re hearing now are below his estimate.

We’ve done very well, as a nation, to keep it below prediction.

Remember, the Spanish Flu killed something like 750,000 Americans. A bad flu season can kill over 100,000 Americans. The 1957 flu had a very large death rate.

Thank you President Trump, the RBS”O’s shliach.

Wolf: I’m a shadchan.

N0m: The First Amendment most certainly does cover religious services.

Isn’t a hotel quite inappropriate for an unmarried man and woman to be together at?

Wolf: How did you know they’re homosexuals? Do you also know which people you work with are adulterers? Why would you know the former but not the latter?

“The problem is that protests are protected by the First Amendment.”

YY: Religious services are ALSO protected by the same First Amendment. If the mass protests are permitted, then mass religious services must be permitted.

And the many many DAILY mass protests across many cities are certainly, culmatively, MUCH more likely to cause many COVID infections than a single indoor rally.

Charlie: Then explain why businesses and police departments and non-profits fire employees for racism (i.e. free speech) expressed off hours, off premises, on the employees personal time, if it becomes public in social media, mass media, etc.

Charlie: To be technical, it had been part of the City of Washington but not part of the District of Columbia.

Charlie: You must’ve skipped Parshas Noach with Rashi to make that mistaken comment.

sifsei: The wishes of the incumbent Democrat congressmen holds much more sway in Albany during redistricting than the wishes of the frum community. And since none of the Democrat congressmen want much of the Orthodox Jewish electorate in their district, due to our conservatism and opposition to liberal Democrat positions, they each want as little of us as possible (to avoid giving any future opposition candidates a base to build upon), resulting in the Orthodox Jewish voter base being split into different Congressional districts.
