not I; (Poster #16) First time I hear that there is a different Torah and Halachos for the office and the home.???”? If the computer and internet are “Muttar” in the office why are they prohibited in the home. If they are Assur in the house, they should have the same status in the office. Pork or Chillul Shabbos is assur both at home and at the office. There is a saying by R. Yisroel Salanter ztz”l that there’s no such thing as a good, or bad habit (???). It all depends on how we use it. The internet is a very useful tool. Unfortunately, it’s also a vehicle for a lot of “Tumah”. But a mature, ehrlicher Yid (adult) will not deteriorate into accessing Tumah’dige websites or otherwise use it for assur’dige purposes. Letting children use the “net” is a whole ‘nother ballgame and should not be permitted under any circumstances.
