I don’t disagree. The fact remains that there can be, and sometimes are, differences, and whether they’re inherent or environmental (and you’re correct in this case that it’s the latter), it’s not bigotry or hateful to point it out if the observation is made objectively, without malice.
Really, Sam? There are studies which show different test score averages for different ethnicities; does that make the people who did the studies racist?
I don’t know what a claim being trustworthy means.
The bottom line is that although as long as the ingredients and process follow acceptable standards, it’s muttar to eat, but there’s less concern that there is a deviation from those ingredients and that process if there’s a mashgiach actually present, and some people are more comfortable that way. It certainly cannot be called a scam.
BTW, the OU calls it Chalav Stam. Also, in this article, they admit that it’s no longer R’ Moshe’s heter, but a different one (based on R’ Moshe’s heter). Not everyone agrees to it.

(Obviously in the latter case the food is milichigs.)
That depends on the case, and how you define “milchigs”.
Sam, I do disagree with two of those.
1) I disagree with that as the only machlokes, which is what he’s saying (“No.”.)
2) You got me on that one.
3) He’s hard pressed to find non frum people? He surely meant among frum people, but according to his own pedantry (nitpicking on the common terminology) he’s wrong.
No
I’m told that R’ Yaakov Kamenetzky held that way.
Flatbusher, there are many different opinions about different types of dairy products.
Some shittos are meikil on butter and some on cheese. On a practical level, soft cheeses not labeled as Cholov Yisroel are not g’vinas Yisroel, because the OU goes according to the shittah that it’s not required, but it’s a machlokes. Some are not makpid on powdered milk because there is a shittah which holds that way . There’s a machlokes whether one must be machmir on keilim if he’s machmir on not eating Cholov Stam.
In short, probably most combinations of chumrah/kulah have a leg to stand on. Whether the individual decided on his own for arbitrary reasons, went through the sugya, or asked a shailah, is something you would have to ask him or her.
I disagree with every point apushatayid made in that post.
I should also point out that it was meant more rhetorically than literally.
(see DY’s comment, case in point, assuming/accusing you two don’t learn gemora or mussar.)
For no other reason than that the attitude expressed is the antithesis of the Torah viewpoint as expressed in Chazal and baalei mussar.
Of course Syag is correct. Do old man and Redleg skip the part of davening where we ask Hashem not to bring us to nisayon? If they would learn some of those dapim and mussar, they would know that a key part of avodas Hashem is avoiding temptation.
BTW, judging a community according to a therapist is like getting health statistics by polling hospital patients, or figuring out what percentage of the country are Chicago Cubs fans by taking a survey at Wrigley Field.
It seems like the claim is that there’s a difference in the level of supervision.
The ones with the stickers are from ???? ??? ????? ?????, which sounds like there’s a special production which is personally supervised.

Wolf, how’s your cough?
Or, your guests are too polite to tell you that they’re still hungry.
That was rude. If I were a guest, I would smile, say everything was delicious, and go crash someone else’s house for cholent.
Assurnet, you can buy an unlocked phone which will work on all GSM networks, and have SMS, for about $20 on Amazon.
Feivel, I don’t see how shutting off data through the provider would shut off access through wifi.
ZD, Waze works without a browser.
Definitely reach out to Oorah for a Torah Mate, and possibly more.
Good luck.
Old man, that was quite an ignorant comment, in several ways.
HaLeiVi and golfer, terrific.
Such a long response, and all you can do is create a straw man to argue with without addressing my points? You also keep on contradicting yourself.
With each post, you make another chillul Hashem. You should stop.
There’s no reason to think Rav Moshe was using a euphemism, unless you want justify your stealing.
I wasn’t aware that R’ Moshe even addressed music (directly). Cite please.
Suddenly, someone following a kula is following a legitimate psak? When it comes to CY, they’re not, but for geneivah, you’re okay with it?
No shaychus timers. Most poskim don’t follow R’ Moshe on that, but most poskim do hold you’re a ganav if you copy music you didn’t pay for.
Tell me, where should one nmbe machmir first, on the d’rabbanan of CY or amira l’akum, or the d’Oraisa of gezeilah which we focus on by N’eilah on Yom Kippur? Your priorities are messed up.
You also need a kapparah for the chillul Hashem you keep making every time you post your love of dishonesty on this very public website.
Not that it makes one bit of a difference, but I have no connection, nor do any friends or relatives, with the recording industry.
Rav Moshe clearly says it’s geneiva, and your claim that the RIAA saying it’s illegal can’t be believed because they are biased is ironic coming from someone who is equally biased. The RIAA, incidentally, is not my only source, but their quote was the clearest language I found.
Why suddenly are you looking for kulas when you normally chastise others for that? ???? ???? ?? ???, that’s why.
Go drink cholov stav and with the money saved, pay the hard working music producers for the music you pilfered without paying.
Joseph, and you’re not nogeia b’dovor? Stop being silly, and stop stealing and causing a chillul Hashem by bragging about it.
Shloimy, personal use means if you bought it. It is illegal to copy music if you didn’t pay for it, with some exceptions, but not just downloading or otherwise copying for your personal enjoyment.
Joseph is being machshil people into doing something which is immoral and illegal (both l’halachah and l’havdil in secular law), and he is misrepresenting “Fair Use”.
From RIAA:
Making Physical Copies of Sound Recordings
o The copy is made from an authorized original CD that you legitimately own, and
She says I should say that I do.
Wait a minute, I have to ask her.
My other half says I’d better get off the CR and help get ready for Shabbos.
The Chazon Ish says that nowadays, a Bais Yaakov girl has the din of a bas talmid chochom.
Of course you go in. How else would her father farher you?
The farher usually lasts about two or three hours, but sometimes more, if the potential future shver is not getting a clear enough picture.
During the farher, you should answer confidently, but not so confidently as to challenge the potential future shver’s self perceived superiority. This can be tricky. The standard blowing the dust off of the potential future shver’s gemara is not actually recommended, except in extreme cases.
On the date, act obnoxious. You don’t want the girl marrying you thinking you’re a nice guy. Then you’ll have to live up to it. So act like a jerk, and then when you’re married, be your mediocre self, and she’ll be pleasantly surprised.
Also, when she comes home, if she tells her father (that’s your potential future shver) that she wants to marry you because you’re such a nice guy, he’ll think her priorities are all messed up because she’s not focusing on what’s important, that you’re such a big lamdan, and he’ll call it off.
Your friends and rebbeim might tell you differently, but trust me on this. I’ve been dating for over thirty years now, so I have more experience than all of them put together, and I know what I’m talking about.
You’re just disputing his choice of semantics.
He seems to only say this when their are other options, but would allow it if there were none (as would apply to the subject of this thread).
I agree with the concept. This is why it’s so important to have a mesorah from a rebbe or rebbeim who in turn have a mesorah from their rebbeim.
Thanks, benignuman.
You dont ALWAYS have to disagree with every post of mine.
Yes I do.
😉
He days he’s not antisemitic, just a defender of “human rights”.
This one does.
MRS PLONY, let’s hope it gets to that point soon.
Sometimes, the chicken is not in the mood for salad.
Sometimes, my wife will serve a chicken salad.
Do the mesholim of the king and his rebellious son and clever advisor make any more sense?
Yes, it’s worse than a kashya on a maaseh. This is a kashya on a maaseh shelo hayah.
It seems to me that this is not about allowing your questions, it’s about them not agreeing to your opinions.
1) If it’s a professional, you call to set up a meeting.
2) A friend is probably better as far as finding a good match, and worse as far as helping the shidduch proceed to engagement.
3) It doesn’t sound as if your parents will. I highly recommend having a mature, discrete, seichel’dik “mentor” to discuss it with.
4) See Torah613Torah’s answer above.
5) Honesty is good, but at the same time, you do want to put your best foot forward. So, for example, if you smoke, you should say that at some point, but don’t smoke on a date.
He’s still listed on the website.
No, because in many of these cases the rejection of valid answers demonstrates that the person is coming with a preconceived “answer” and not really being honest and objective.
If the person is unwilling to reconsider his preconceived notions, it’s futile to try answering.
A moshol: Someone asked me why when he pours water into a cup it takes the shape of the cup. I tell him because it’s a liquid, and that’s how liquids act. He says, no, water is a solid, so my question is valid.
Once I understand that he’s working on false assumptions and won’t be budged from them, I consider answering any further such questions to be futile.
Zev is right. It’s not that the questions themselves are not apikorsus.
However, the assumptions they’re based on might be.
