“An explicit pasuk! what does that mean?”

Again, is this a real question? Do you really need me to cite it for you?

“The people outside of Europe who actually had access to chalav temayah did not have the same approach.”
Elaborate. If you’re claiming that people outside Europe ate cholov akum then just say so.

As much as I want to keep fighting due to my masculine rage, let me offer this up:
-You define the kulah, stam halacha, chumra spectrum statistically: what most people do is the stam halacha, the meikel minority is the kulah, and the meikel minority is the chumrah.

-I define it historically/chronologically: Whatever halachah came earlier is the stam halachah. If we go below that now, it’s a kulah, above is a chumrah.

I don’t actually have that much of a problem with your approach; I’m just kind of arguing because I’m bored. Do you really have that much of a problem with my approach, or should we just call it?
