Avi K – Are you sure you are a lawyer? I called you out for accusing HaKatan of motzei shem rah out of hate for him/his view instead of his actual words. You forgot to respond to that. And the rest of your comment is just more of the same but at me this time.
Based on those comments I would have to conclude that you have no clue what a Torah framework is, if you believe you have to exit it in order to learn something without trop. If I want to give you the benefit of the doubt, I will say that perhaps, tho you are older than I am, you missed the part of our education that encourages learning secular subjects WITHIN the torah framework, and your desire to believe that secular information can only be had by learning it outside of a torah framework is just a way to give yourself a free pass.
25 points for team blue.
I repeat, if it was the halacha you were defending, his post is not the one you would be calling out.
