    Joseph,

    “Nor does it have anything to do with those families who were recently falsely accused”

    And you know this for certain how?

    I certainly don’t know if they are innocent or guilty as i dont have any knowledge other than whats been reported to the public.

    Do you have specific knowledge of this case that other people in the CR dont?

    What DY is saying is that a small error (though it shouldn’t be there) does not qualify for nomination. In this case the slight change of recommended to recommending fixes it.

    If you ban kids from cars and make them walk, the slower travel will make them more susceptible to various diseases. You’ll be undoing decades of progress!!

    “Actually you’re the one is having knee-jerk reaction! I honestly don’t know why he responded the way he did.”

    Neither do I. But you’re the one who accused him of voting for “hi-liar-ry” (ah…such maturity and ingenuity) even though that was completely irrelevant to the discussion at hand.

    “I responded the way I did, because I’m familiar with that poster.”

    So what? Again, what does anyone’s voting choice have to do with their opinion on this matter?

    “Do yourself a favor – don’t come here and post your ingenuity, unless you’re a full time poster!”

    Really? Is there some rule about posting frequency that I’m not aware of? (Actually I have a full time job, that prevents me from being a “full time poster!” (Emphasis yours) ) Do you not like what i have to say and want me shut down? That sounds like an attempt at censorship. In my experience, it’s the liberals who try to censor opposing viewpoints they don’t like.

    “LC -“Health, did you eat too many peanuts?”

    Typical of extremists – on either side. (Both conservative & liberal)

    If you see/hear something you don’t agree with or if someone responds to you in a way you don’t agree – even something non-political, the automatic knee-jerk ridiculous response is to accuse them of voting for someone of the other political side.

    Normal person – ” I think that people (insert anything that most normal people agree with) ”
    Extremist – ” you must have voted for (insert opposing political candidate who is evil incarnate) “

    Incorrect. While that was once true, they currently alternate between male and female names. For example, the first several names for hurricanes in 2017 (if they form) will be

    Arlene Bret Cindy Don Emily Franklin Gert Harvey

    They even alternate the first name from year to year. The first name in 2018 will be male (Alberto)

    “No one justified the little kid who kicked her. ”

    Earlier you said “Only one little kid made any physical contact with her (by kicking.)”

    The ‘only’ sounds very close to an attempt to justify. After all, what’s the big deal? It was ‘only’ a kid.

    “But the rest of the protesters are probably justified after she did what happened before the clip started.”

    Please. Tell us. What did she do before the clip started, that justifies it?

    And you haven’t addressed the older bachur who took a swing ar her.

    “Only one little kid made any physical contact with her (by kicking.)”

    That must make it OK. After all it’s only a kid. And he didn’t ACTUALLY touch her. Only kicked her. Sorry. My apologies for being critical.

    “Obviously he shouldn’t have due to negia.”

    Obviously he shouldn’t have due to the inappropriate action of kicking her.
    FTFY

    “But as far as the rest of what’s happening, the video doesn’t show what she did before this clip starts.”

    So what? The only excuse to hit someone would be in self defense or to protect someone else. At the time we see him ‘only kicking her’, she is just walking and not attacking him or anyone else. Hence, don’t see any justification.

    P.S. on rewatching the video there does seem to be an older bachur taking a swing at her.

    I started reading this loooong post because it looked like it might have some interesting material. Until I got to this part.

    “3rd message:

    On October 11 2006 a Yankees Baseball Players Plane (with him on it) crashed in Manhattan into a large Apartment Building, causing major damage & hundreds of lives lost.”

    I looked up the event. Not to ever minimize loss of life but 2 people died. Not “hundreds”. Or anything close to that.

    Once you start to make up facts, anything else you have to say – no matter the value – becomes suspect.

    There you go again with a dishonest comparison.

    @Joseph

    “Don’t put words in my mouth.”

    What have I claimed you said (or implied) that you actually didn’t say (or imply)?

    “And don’t expect me to answer for an anonymous claim of a claimed event.”

    You claim to know the exact behaviors of our ancestors traveling habits. And you bring that as ‘proof’ that our behavior is therefore lacking. Were you there? Did you actually see how our bubbes and zaides travelled? Or are you using circular reasoning to assume ‘well, that’s what they must have done, so therefore they did it.’ While in this specific case (ZD and rebitzin Neuman) you technically can call it an anonymous claim, by that logic, anyone’s claim here that they have witnessed something is subject to the same dismissal. And I would venture to say that most people here have seen rebitizins of choshuve rabbonim driving. Rabbonim who would not allow something that’s an outright issur. You can dismiss that if you like, but when something is collectively known and witnessed by the multitudes, it’s pretty lame to dismiss it as anonymous just because you don’t know the name of the person who’s saying it.

    “And don’t argue against SA with bubbe maaisas.”

    What bubbe maises? Are you denying the obvious that rebitizins of choshuve rabbonim drive with their husbands approval? see previous paragraph

    “Using your so-called arguments, you’re motzi la’az on the Rambam and Mechaber.”

    How so? At what point did I ever say anything negative about their words or behavior? Just because things are different nowadays, does not mean that anybody holds they were wrong at that time. And don’t try to say that Halacha is immutable and completely unchanging. While the underpinnings of halacha do not change, their application can. And that can work both ways – l’kula and l’chumra

    “Why are you putting the Rambam’s holy psak in scare quotation marks?”

    I only put your words from previous post in quotes.

    “Do you consider the Rambam and Mechaber to be extremists?”

    Again, when did I ever say that? Now, who’s putting words in whos mouth?

    Same here? Same here?!?

    Are you actually comparing an outright torah obligation/prohibition (shatnez) to the “prohibition” of women going out more than twice a month?

    And you expect to be taken seriously?

    Quite possibly you are being motzi la’az on every rebbitzin and rosh yeshiva that doesn’t live by those “righteous standards” that “we aren’t able to fully maintain”

    If something is an outright issur, don’t tell me that our Rosh yeshivas would allow their wives to drive (or leave the house!) because we’re “weak”.

    You never addressed ZD account of rebbitzin Neuman driving. With her husband right there.

    Is he

    (a) ignorant of the S’A? (motzi la’az)

    (b) weak (motzi la’az)

    (c) openly flouting Halacha (motzi la’az)

    (d) OO (motzi la’az)

    That is one of the most dishonest comparisons I’ve seen here.

    Only the most ignorant would fall for it.

    Or propose it.

    I find it interesting that after Joseph makes the statement “You don’t see Rebbetzins Kotler, Olshin, Schustal, Neuman, Salamon or Wachtfogel cruising around Lakewood.”

    and to which zahavasdad responds with an opposing fact that directly contradicts his statement

    “Actually Joseph I HAVE seen Rebbetzen Neuman drive. I saw Rav neuman get into the passenger seat and she got into the driver seat and drove him away”

    that Joseph doesnt address the obvious contradiction between his assertion and ZDs eyewitness account.

    Unless you’re willing to give those up, (along with any other modern convenience of the last 150 years) your comparison is dishonest.

    On the other hand if you truly believe that we should live as our ancestors did without any modern conveniences,(like the internet) then i guess we wont be seeing you around these parts anymore.
