Kitniyos is 100% assur on pesach!

That is what alot of you sound like. If your Rav holds that college is assur-then great. I don’t think there are many today who would make such a blanket statement, and more would evaluate each person individually, but either way, there are legitimate Rabbonim who hold otherwise. Are any of you poskim? I don’t think so. This is such a ridiculous argument. Who cares whether or not there are current gedolim who went to college? The requirements of being a Gadol don’t require college. There aren’t any Gedolim who are mechanics. Does that mean it’s assur to be a mechanic. (I’d also like to mention that I don’t know many gedolim who have internet.)

A lot of you are displaying tremendous ignorance. Maybe when R’ Moshe made that speech, college was only needed for getting a Cadillac but nowadays just paying for the basics and tuition alone is incredibly hard to do without college.

Just who do you think you are? How many of you models of perfection are supporting a family without having gone to college? How many of you aren’t being supported either directly or indirectly by people who went to college?

If you are than you have zero right to speak. Would you take money from someone who made their money in drugs or worse? Then why are you taking this money? You are just providing incentive for more people to go to college.

I’m going to be dan l’kaf zchus and assume that most of you are 15, and wish you much Hatzlacha when you get older.
