Health: You’re being ridiculous. You want something to be Assur, smack on a D’Oraisa on it, and then say the burden of proof is on those who want to Mattir? Come on. Anyone can invent an Issur for anything. You need to show me something is Assur to make it Assur. You’re taking a phrase “and other things” and applying it to make something that you personally don’t like Assur? That’s not the way Halacha works and you (hopefully) know it. I agree that I presonally find nose rings disturbing. That doesn’t mean that I can transform it into an Issur D’Oraisa.
Here, I can do the same thing that you do. The Goyim sometimes snap their fingers. There. I just created an Issue D’Oraisa and to be Mattir it you need to bring me a source. So go ahead, find me somewhere in Halacha that explicitly states that snapping is Muttar. Until you do you have to assume that it’s Assur because it’s D’Oraisa. So find me a source that it’s Muttar. You see how ridiculous that is?
