If you wear a mosquito repellent, mosquitoes will avoid you and bite someone else. Is it your fault if someone is bitten by your mosquito?
July 6, 2015 12:55 pm at 12:55 pm #1090608JosephParticipantIf someone shoots at you and you duck the bullet will hit the guy behind you. It is permissible to duck?

Same if you fight off a polar bear.

If you don’t contribute your blood, that’s one less chance they get.
Swat the mosquito, please.

July 6, 2015 9:14 pm at 9:14 pm #1090613👑RebYidd23ParticipantWho says I learn Torah? For all you know, I spend all my spare time studying the phone book. And I posted about mosquito repellent, not killing mosquitoes.
July 6, 2015 10:11 pm at 10:11 pm #1090614Little FroggieParticipantSam: I have to disagree with you on that one. I don’t think mai chazis would apply there, when one’s sole action is removing himself from danger.
July 6, 2015 10:22 pm at 10:22 pm #1090615sushibagelMemberIs it socially responsible to secure our belongings, thieves will move on and look for an easier target. Is it your fault if somebody else gets robbed?
I think this question could be asked about anything we do that makes safer,healthier,wealthier etc.
July 6, 2015 11:32 pm at 11:32 pm #1090616👑RebYidd23ParticipantIf you would zap the mosquito with a bug zapper, it would keep you and your neighbor safe.
July 7, 2015 12:02 am at 12:02 am #1090617WiseyParticipantWhy don’t the animal rights activists care about insects? Is this proof of misplaced priorities?
Mosquito repellant should be banned. Donating blood saves one life but witholding use of insect spray enables the birth of hundreds of living creatures.
July 7, 2015 12:33 am at 12:33 am #1090618👑RebYidd23ParticipantMosquito repellent causes the mosquito to bite another person or animal. Besides, the animal rights activists alter cats and dogs to prevent them from having kittens/puppies. If they would care about mosquitoes so much they would soon be extinct.
