Dofi, pretty spot on except for 3 things – i never said that MO has open synagogue parking lots on Shabbos, and i never said that MO is robbing children of olam haba(it’s a complicated issue), and i also didn’t say that they are mechalel everything in judaism – just a lot of it.
I also didn’t say that most go off whatever derech you can call MO – i said more of them go off than elsewhere, which is statistically a reality, both in eretz yisrael and here(so you can’t make the argument of “mo schools have frei kids” – yes, the 50+ percent point was off because of that, but the drop out rate in eretz yisroel is 20%, which scales pretty close to how it is here, according to the Nishma study i cited above)
While we’re on the subject of the nishma study…they found that only 62% of MO men wear tefilin everyday, around the same amount are fully observant in shabbos and kashrus, and only 58% of married men are fully observant in taharas mishpacha.
So it’s more than just puk chazi – these are studies done by MO people of MO degeneracy and sinfulness.
And these are the ones who admit to it.
And let’s not forget about all the other mitzvos; these are just the ones that are the most obvious.
