    Now that that is settled, may I pose line of questions?

    If a person born to devout Taliban parents in Afghanistan is brought up to believe that jihad is the way to go, and he blows himself up believing that he’s doing the world a favor, is he a bad person? Or just stupid for not questioning the religion he was born in? Do any of you think you would be a terrorist if born there? How do you know?

    He was referring to all men. You are an idealist. You think that: a) dating men should try not to have physical thoughts; b) because they shouldn’ t many don’t; and c) we should focus on those that act “correctly.”

    The first assumption is partly correct, but the second is entirely wrong making the third one irrelevent.

    I am a happily married man. I was using animals as an expression that would help illustrate the point I was making. I think I first heard this expression from Rabbi Orlofsky in one of his famous shiurim. Either way, don’t be so sensitive.

    Nem621 – men are animals. I’m just trying to say that once that fact is dealt with, people can move on and make sane decisions. The question is whether physical appearance is the most important factor, or one of the most important factors. This depends on the guy. Deal with it.

    Farrocks- no one is saying that the ONLY thing that matters is weight, only that weight matters (to many). Being that there are many, many, good girls who don’t have a weight problem, a sane person will choose a girl that is best for him. Because there are far fewer blonde girls, that makes it far more likely that a boy would have to sacrifice ANOTHER important quality, to get his blonde. That would likely be shallow.

    You can’t honestly say that a boy who is attracted to blondes, and chooses a blonde over a non-blonde with all other thing equal is shallow. He is wise, and sane. To do otherwise would be insane. It would be like choosing 99 dollars over 100.

    It is sad for many girls, especially those with no fault involved. Just like it is sad that there are poor, ugly, sick, and handicapped girls. But shallow? Try sane.

    Worry about the reputation of what you do, not of what people think you do.

    You can control what you do.

    Maras Ayin is only when you are doing something that looks inherently wrong.

    Eating pizza isn’t inherently wrong.

    I know many people who worry a lot about what people think, and I know many good people.

    Rarely are they the same person.

    Worrying too much about your reputation can be stressful, destructive, and counter-productive.

    The concept is also a little morally backward, because you are worried about social acceptance, as opposed to the real issue.

    It occasionally can be a tool for the good, if the correct mentality is used. Rav Miller a”h says that the mishna says to make tocho (the inside) kibaro (like the outside), and not vice versa.

    This however, does not mean that one should work on the outside first, rather, if the external motivations are A) already present, and B) cause an action that is objectively good, than one should not stop the “faking,” rather, one should work on the inside to make it real.

    Whether or not it is correct for you to go out Motzai Shabbos is a different question, that you need to ask a mentor who knows you. Nothing to do with what others think, more to do with you and how you think.

    Health made the point that a married woman whose husband is in town has different rules than other (read married w/ husband out of town, single, etc.) women.

    While I am unsure about how different, and whether this applies to therapy-like situations, the general idea is (gasp) indisputably correct.

    Any argument on this point should be from someone who knows about the “baalah b’ir” concept, not ignoramuses (like myself – I don’t know much more than what I just wrote).

    As an aside, because a gedolah is bchezkas nidda, single girls should not be characterized as “the kal.”

    NOMTW – “Seek the therapist that will be able to help you in the most constructive manner…” That is precisely the point. Gender is one of the most defining factors about a person. Who a person is defines how they can help. Unlike other “Health” industry workers, there is much subjectivity and variety within every aspect of mental health care. Additionally, there must be a personal, deep, trusting relationship, for many types of therapy to work. Saying gender doesn’t matter, may be just as shallow a view as saying one may never go to an opposite-gender therapist.

    What is very clear to me, is that there is no one answer.

    The universally agreed upon concept here, is to get as much objective help as is possible toward the “right” goal. To do that one must identify the goals desired. Being that everyone’s goals are very different, the disagreement here seems to be more about what the “right” goal is, than which gender gets you there.

    Health – you are getting defensive but missing the point. The question was about a client – not a professional. When a client is choosing a therapist, should the gender of the therapist be a factor in the decision? I think even The Wolf would agree it should be (no guarantees though). The real question is to what extent?

    Whether professionals must generally treat both genders equally, and whether there are specialists who see opposite gender clients, is addressing the question from the wrong perspective.

    Haleivi – I don’t have the source offhand; I heard it five years ago from a RY of mine. I can try to find it.

    When I used the word kfira I meant in a logical sense – doing physical actions when in reality they do nothing – is in its essence a statement that we believe they do something.

    The obvious counter-argument here is that Hashem wants us to do the [otherwise] meaningless action, rendering it a correct action.

    The answer is, that in a utopian world – i.e. like Adam in GE, or to a lesser extent Jews in desert, – no hishtadlus is necessary.

    The only reason why for us it is necessary, is because we are not on the level of the relationship and trust that existed in those situations.

    Hence, hishtadlus, is a necessary evil, permitted to us while we work on our relationship to need it less and less.

    As far as whether there are other shitos than the Maharal – I’m sure there are.

    BTW everyone assumes that my screen-name is my statement about what I am. It is intended to be a statement about what I think is important. It was a reaction to the name of this website more than anything else.

    GG – or it may have been good fundraising tactics.

    FandC – the Maharal writes that all hishtadlus is in its essence k’fira, but is permitted to us as a subjective and temporary measure in order to live, while we work on increasing our bitachon. The word chiyuv may be inappropriate here; it is a heter to those of us [i.e. all of us] with insufficient bitachon. The chiyuv is to successfully live, and fulfill your ksuba. A person must honestly assess their level of bitachon and go from there toward the absolute requirement of providing for their dependents.

    Wisey – you make the assumption that men don’t want to be biased by the looks. I think most do. Like it or not boys have choices, girls don’t. ONE of the big things for nearly EVERY [healthy] guy is physical attraction. When a guy has a list with pictures, the pretty pictures [in his opinion] jump out. As they should. Some people may like heavier girls. Most don’t. They pick the girls that are best for them.

    Unlike the rest of a resume, looks are easily verified, so therefore hard to falsify, making it the easiest big factor to check up on. We should be encouraging pictures, to allow looks to be a factor before the first date in my opinion. Saves time, money, frustration, etc. Having the first meeting by phone just avoids dealing with this major IMPORTANT factor.

    To those saying men are shallow for wanting to marry what they are naturally attracted to, and should choose to go out with heavier girls when all other things equal there are pretty ones out there, I say be realistic!

    No one is saying ALL obese and heavy people choose to be that way (though many do), just that the condition is unattractive to many. Just like a man would choose a girl with white teeth over a girl with brown moldy teeth (all other things being equal), and no one would or could fault him, even if the girl was born with a genetic predisposition for moldy teeth and cosmetic surgery wasn’t an option, the same should apply to weight.

    Dolphina – “And just so it’s clear, not one of the people posting here keep all the mitzvot.” That is negative judgment at its finest. Unlike much of the (admittedly often wrong) judgment of ACTIONS one may see here, you are judging PEOPLE. The Torah perspective on people is al tadin es chaveircha ad shetagia limkomo and havei dan es kol adam lekaf z’chus (don’t judge another til you walk in their shoes/ judge people favorably).

    Actions are either right or wrong and the Torah requires that we know which are which (ubacharta bachaim – you must choose life).

    P.S. As to the matter of clearly settled jewish law that the privileges and responsibilities of being jewish are only passed on through the mother, is that misogyny too?

    Just to clarify, the OP seems to be asking four questions:

    2) Is it Ma’aras Ayin to enter a McDonald’s at a rest stop?

    3) Any McDonald’s?

    4) From a McDonald’s cup?

    What strikes me about the cup business, is even if one should not buy a coke (or fill up water in their coffee cup) in their establishment b/c of Ma’aras Ayin (a point I’m not conceding), to not use the cup would be Ma’aras Ayin on Ma’aras Ayin. Isn’t that way too crazy?

    The assumption the OP started with is flawed. EVERYTHING is muttar, unless G-d says otherwise. Therefore, a logical (albeit wrong) way to frame the topic is: Smoking is assur because of xyz, or stupid because of xyz. The assumptions that people leap to, especially regarding highly enjoyable acts that they clearly dislike, shouldn’t be confused with Halachah.

    Logician – Learning is “the most important part” of Judaism? I vehemently disagree. Getting close to, emulating, and having a relationship with Hashem is. Learning may be the most fundamental means of doing this, but It’s not the primary goal.

    f someone a fine head…but doesn’t know how to apply it…in a way that he’ll be interested…nebach.” The commandment of learning is equal to people of all intellects. In my own estimation, while some people less capable learn less, when learning their enjoyment is equal, regardless of intellect.

    Additionally, some of the people that I’ve seen having the most difficult time learning, are very bright. Saying nebach in a patronizing tone when deciding what other people should be doing for their avodas hashem is rather arrogant, don’t you think?

    I originally disguised the name of the case in case it was you. Look it up. Some eery similarities to your story. Coincidence it must be… Anyway, we’re going in circles. Here’s a hypo: the kid was bought off (or the like), and the Shomrim were (correctly) trying to cover it up. My money’s there personally. Obviously yours isn’t. It’s not hilchos eidus, its whether self-defense was proved by sufficient evidence, so as to justify the undisputed act of violence that all sides and all witnesses concur on. The prosecution represents the state not the kid.

    Have you ever heard of hodoas ball din? That applies in secular court. Migu – not as much. It’s really a credibility question. The 911 call is not hearsay as A) it was emotions at the time of the incident, and B) there was no better source as the victim refused to testify.

    Laws of evidence and hearsay are complicated.

    I told you a different time and I’ll tell you again I never went to YU. I’m not MO.

    The controlling case here is Stuart v QD inc…Hardison (I’m giving you the befit of the doubt and assuming that’s what you meant) actually hurts your case. (I was vague on purpose here.)

    I will concede to you that the accommodation doctrine is more extensive than I initially thought constitutional. And that my previous statement of the law is misleading.

    The concept of burden of proof is crucial. If you don’t get it, what does that say about Touro?

    No one has ever questioned WHETHER there was an assault, rather if the assault was justified. (There was a kid that went to the hospital you know)

    In such a case, the assumption (as it should be) is that assaults are illegal UNLESS you can PROVE otherwise. Is my English simple enough?

    Nothing here is black and white, and I wouldn’t be surprised

    There’s (at least) one question you didn’t answer me: How do you KNOW that NOTHING could have given the judge the conclusion she reached other than political pressure etc.?

    Health – Your “synopsis” of the law – “They must accommodate religious beliefs unless they can prove doing so will cause them minimal hardship” – is wrong.

    The law is that may not discriminate based on religion. They discriminated based on you not working on Saturday (a day that they needed employees to work on). Likely, the case was dismissed. Correctly.

    The only thing you could possibly contend is that they really aren’t hiring you because you’re an orthodox jew, and the fact that they blamed it on Saturday is a lie as proven by the fact that they could have somehow accommodated you as an exception.

    Such a contention is obviously silly and wrong. It’s a pain to make exceptions, and likely would get the other employees rightfully upset. No one wants to work on Saturday.

    As far as credibility calls, the finder of fact (in this case the judge – by choice of the defendant) is obligated, repeat obligated, to make judgment calls like I buy this or I don’t buy that, or I’m not sure etc., based on the evidence presented. The Judge’s job is to apply the facts to the existing legal standards.

    Implicit in this obligation is to read expressions, context, and demeanor of all the witnesses and testimony, and to consider all the evidence.

    The facts seemingly not in dispute (that the defendant was the initiator of the altercation, justified or not) shift some of the burden of proof on the on the defendant here.

    Was there a legit case of self-defense? Legally, the one who concededly assaults another must prove this. Did they sufficiently? I doubt it. The Judge decided not.

    After all this, you came along and made your own decision about the Judge’s motive. The burden of proof of this extreme statement is on you, just like the burden of proving justification is on the instigator. You have not come close.

    Health the “Federal Law” you quoted is far from simple. It’d be different if you were discussing a gov. employer (a fact missing from your story).

    Th1 – I personally suspect that Health is a male nurse.

    I’m sorry that there were criminal incidents in Baltimore. I’m sure Shomrim do a great, essential job.

    The boys likely meant well. This isn’t the question. The question is whether they violated the law. Many stories were told in and out of court. The Judge was required to asses the credibility of all the evidence – including the 911 call – and decide what happened.

    I wasn’t there. Neither were you.

    I find the judge’s version of the facts to be the most likely one. Even if you disagree, surely there is no basis for stating that it’s “a miscarriage of justice” like Health did.

    Feeling badly for the boys, and blaming the judge, are two entirely different things.

    I hope that the boys have a happy and healthy life, and that nothing bad ever happens to them.

    Health – discriminating against a person who won’t work Saturday when one has a reason why having an employee who works on Saturday fills a need, has nothing to do with anti-semitism. Nothing. Why should the Government or an employer give you special treatment? What about the next person, who doesn’t want to work on Saturday b/c they just want off? Must they be hired too?

    As far as your attack on who has more ahavas yisroel for whatever sect, the irony is that your stereotyping of the sects is so hateful.

    There is a question of fact here as to what happened. The judge was supposed to be the fair and objective fact-finder. Having seen all the evidence, and having made CREDIBILITY calls, the Judge ruled on the facts. Nothing in the judge’s story is far-fetched. In the judge’s story, a beloved Jew did an understandable, yet illegal act, and now must face the consequences.

    Caring for someone does NOT mean that you believe they can never do something illegal. Does it?

    Although the testimony of the victim was stricken from the record, the 911 call wasn’t. The judge had to make a facts call, what story makes more sense based on all the evidence. Although self defense is a justification, there is some shifting of the burden of proof, making the “innocent until proven guilty” less applicable. With all that in mind, there is nothing that I have read that comes close to showing that there was a miscarriage of justice (with no conclusive evidence to the contrary either). Therefore, a judge has more credibility to me.

    My question to you Health: If there was a Jewish kid walking in a black neighborhood, was approached by two intimidating folks in a car saying you don’t belong here or the like, then a few minutes later seeing those two folks approaching him, the kid picks up the nearest thing he finds, then gets beaten. How would you feel about a self-defense argument then?

    So we have a Machlokes. Sam2 says assur, and the Ohev Yisroel (and my mother) say (or represent) “Torah Hi”.

    Presumably, the Ohev Yisroel was directly addressing the claims that it had other origins (otherwise his words are rather misleading). The small quote I saw here was not that it didn’t have other origins, but that since it came down from previous generations, it is correct. Sam2 says he knows better than the previous generations.

    While I don’t have the knowledge that Sam2 is representing with his viewpoint (namely, that there is no legitimate source before 1800 or so, and that previous great ones and previous lesser ones were misinformed at best), Sam2 hasn’t proven the negative at all, let alone sufficiently to make him more credible than even my mother…

    The “full time top learning boy” that you want for “your daughter”, can be seen in many ways. Full time learners are aplenty, and Brisk does not distinguish itself in that regard. Top learners can be seen in may ways. There is top as in closest to Hashem (what this religion is all about anyway…right?), IMHO Brisk doesn’t distinguish itself in that regard either. Brisk does have one advantage in which the average IQ (as it applies to being capable of learning) is likely higher than in other places. But there are idiots in Brisk and geniuses elsewhere. Bottom line – if you’re looking for a future RY anyway, look at Brisk, but don’t pretend it has anything to do with Judaism.

What significant research regarding mortality rates of smokers has surfaced recently? Do you have any idea how difficult it is to prove causation? What’s your agenda?

    So if you stop using your Kindle for games,and learn how to use it better (taking care of 3 and 4), then you pass it on to your grandchildren (assuming it doesn’t have collectible value – taking care of 1 and 2) it would be fine , right?

    OneOfMany – Who’s sorry? “Sorry.” isn’t a sentence. Don’t get hyper-technical. It’s annoying.
