(Now watch someone pretend they don’t get hana’ah from the images that are expressly there for that purpose.)
I don’t mean you specifically, but come on, don’t be naive. Nobody watching movies is being maisiach daas from the pritzus.
I was actually referring to this:

But, either way, it shows that wisey’s point is wrong.
Sam: Reserves
Also, rob, I’m surprised at your comment. You’ve always said you want more charedim working. I’m agreeing with you, and you’re saddened by that? The CR’s recent v’nahapoch hu seems to have affected you. 🙂
LC: Nah. There’s no one held as a gadol (in terms of hanhagah) by the yeshivish’e velt who thinks it’s a good idea.
I’m very happy to be in the company of people such as R’ A.L. Shteinman Shlit”a.
What kind of authority did Esther have?
And yes, when the government makes it illegal to work without first fulfilling conditions that are ideologically objectionable to a group, they get blame for that group’s poverty. Just abolish the draft, and there will be a big change.
That’s baloney. There’s no charedi shittah of shirking responsibility. It’s the simple reality that the army is not conducive to yiras shamayim, to say the least. The same communities (i.e. chassidic groups with the same leaders) have many more people working in chutz la’aretz than in E.Y.
I have no idea what the S.L. situation is, but they don’t have such a requirement in C.L., and more people work.
That’s not what Gafne said.
You point that out as if it’s some type of dichotomy.
one for der erd, one for being shared, one for redeeming and one for a ferd
Is the song considered z’man grama?
Don’t say silly jokes. Wait until you get the job for that.
Don’t drink too much at the kiddush. Wait until you get the job for that.
Don’t talk to the regular people at the kiddush. Wait until you get the job for that. Talk to the machers.
After you get the job, you can say silly jokes, get plastered at the kiddush, and talk to whomever you like. Don’t worry too much about renewing your contract. The kinds of shuls that do kiddush prabas usually don’t renew contracts. If there’s good single malt, “ein safek yotzei miy’dei vaday”.
What kind of ???? do you think Esther was?
Jewish ????? weren’t married?
Presumably, you get a mitzva for every drink you drink on purim which helps you get drunk.
Therefore, it is commendable to drink during the year, and especially during the lead up to purim, in order to increase your tolerance so that you are able to do more mitzvos on purim.
Chap arein, only a few hours left…
The term “off the derech” is most often used for some who r”l no longer keeps Shabbos, kashrus, or a minimum standard of tznius.
Would you like me to link the teshuvah in which R’ Moshe says movies are assur, and doesn’t say this “cheshbon”?
That is from L’chaim Purim Tish 2, track 3.
It’s also in the first Simchas Hachaim album, track 37. They’re both on Mostly Music.
Barry, the army is a bad place for a Jewish child to be. I think even charliehall once posted that at one time a high percentage of hesder boys went OTD (although now it’s better).
So as long as army service is a requirement, anyone who won’t join the army for religious reasons is severely handicapped in making a living.
I don’t know the politics of abolishing the draft, although I did hear that MK Feiglin had been working on it. If that happens, you’ll see a much different charedi approach to working.
Barry, the charedi leadership isn’t forcing poverty on anyone; if anything the government is, by forcing people into the army if they’re not in yeshiva.
A potential Moshiach must be alive.
Sure, let us know how Evan’s pork rinds taste (we already know how they sound – http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/my-son-is-directly-disobeying-me-advice-is-much-needed#post-544793).

Are you at the same yoiser milimudoi party as popa?
Oomis/akuperma (akuperma/oomis?), http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/profile/akuperma currently comes up with name oomis.

Oops, I mean DY.
Going strong.
I may just have to send you Advil and Tylenol for shalach manos (according to ubiquitin/gavra I can be yotzei with two Advils).
Cookies are easy to eat with one hand.
Salad, not so much.
But we still haven’t figured out who is popa today.
I post, therefore I am.
Yeah, right, and I’m not vashtischwartz.
The types of girls who go are the ones who typically are late to apply to camp (at least I hope so for your sake).
That was an amazing imitation of golfer.
I’m pretty sure the zionists are responsible for the shidduch crisis.
I’m sure you would have found her a heter. 😉
I can’t figure out who coffee addict is (or should I say who is coffee addict?).
Are you talking to me or the OP?
I wonder what name The Therapist got.
– someone (not quite sure who)
ZD, there are already hecsherim on some medications. Although there are heterim, kosher oral medications are still better than nonkosher. Also, they may market the medical marijuana as part of a food product, in which case it would certainly need to be kosher.
The little I know: did you actually read the teshuvos from R’ Moshe?
http://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=921&st=&pgnum=315
Even the one you refer to clearly says it’s not assur, and for that reason, it’s not lifnei iver.

The first one linked was written in ???”?. There’s a third one, written a few years later, about smoking on Yom Tov.
Whether he would have assered with more current information is arguable, but that he actually said that it’s not assur is not.
BTW, google “Paul van der Velpen sugar” and tell me if you think I’m being absurd.
Or, for more articles, google “What Kills More People: Sugar or Cigarettes?”
JT, IIRC, one of his reasons is kivud av v’eim. So interestingly, our debate is probably academic in most cases, because, at least regarding when most smokers start, probably the vast majority of their parents forbid it.
pba = DY (pba’s serious side)
You’re probably referring to the ama’aretz and shidduch picture threads.
I don’t see where yehudayona attributed it to biology.
JT, btw, thanks for answering my question. Visceral it is.
Popa, is Marijuana B’kash any safer?
Smoking is terrible. It’s unhealthy, dangerous, smelly, expensive, bad for your teeth, addictive, bad for shidduchim (especially if you’re a girl), dumb, inconvenient, and ADDICTIVE. ADDICTIVE.
But do any of those things necessarily make it assur?
JT, visceral, or studies?
I said it’s better not to smoke. Wouldn’t you agree that it’s better not to have a diet high in refined sugar? My question us when does it reach the level of issur.
I took a quick look at your link. Is there a piece by R’ Bleich about smoking? I’d be curious to see it.
RY, this too is discussed in the poskim (??? ???? ???”?). I think this might be better because when the ice cream is finished, you eat the cone by itself (and unless it’s a tasteless wafer cone made only to hold the ice cream, it has its own chashivus).
JT, if I compared a high sugar diet to smoking one cigarette, I would get similarly skewed results.
To be fair, let’s compare a sugar laden diet to a smoking habit. They’re both quite unhealthy, and cause people to die. I’d like to see a study fairly comparing the two. Even if smoking is worse, where do we draw the line between inadvisable and assur? Maybe after a high sugar diet, but maybe before smoking. Maybe in between, as you suggest, but meiheicha teisi?
Also, I once saw an article in a halacha journal written by a physician who says he tried to convince R’ Moshe to asser smoking because of the risks, but he wouldn’t. So I don’t buy that R’ Moshe would have assered had he known how dangerous it is. He did know.
The second tayna might be more reasonabis, but again, where do we draw the line? It’s not as if smoking is terribly uncommon.
