    Joseph, please provide sources that honoring one’s parents has the same halachik obligation as having children.

    Health, you cant hide behind “Daas Torah”, with out telling us which gedolim back your views.

    Even if you believe that nobody will change their opinions, it is still your responsibility to name the Rabbis who support your ideas.

    First of all, please don’t call me Charlie, as that is not my name. Second, can you be more specific where in Even Haezer?

    Health, of course I believe in it. I just don’t believe it to be literal. Bais Din doesn’t use the death penalty as a punishment for embarrassing someone.

    And you didn’t answer my question. Has Donald Trump never embarrassed anyone?

    Health, people don’t commit suicide because they were embarrassed. It’s a terrible misunderstanding of the nature of depression.

    Besides, do you really think that Trump has never embarrassed anyone before?

    Carter did it against a nationality. Trump wants to do it against an entire religion. It’s not comparable.

    Would you give someone Vicodin or Percocet? Those seem to be a lot more harmful then marijuana.

    MsPrincess, I apologize for the tone of my post, but as the relative of someone who’s suffering was greatly relieved by medical marijuana, I must respond.

    “Marijuana impairs your thinking, and kills your brain cells”

    So does alcohol. Are we banning that, which has no medicinal benefit?

    “i have heard of a guy who went to college with someone i know and took marijuana and did not wake up the next day.”

    Oh, you heard about a guy who knows a guy? Clearly it must be true.

    “this especially happens when you take it with other medicines.”

    Mixing any medicines is a terrible idea. Nothing to do with marijuana.

    “i have yet to meet someone pro marijuana who didnt take it themselves.”

    Hi. Nice to meet you.

    “there are people there who have admitted to having taken it and they say how many issues it has given them”

    You have classmates who suffer from chemotherapy and multiple sclerosis? I’m very sorry to hear that. But if you mean they did it recreationally, then it is irrelevant.

    “Take for example someone who is paralyzed and all they have left is there brain and they have lost everything else and marijuana has been said to help take off pain would they rather lose everything including their ability to think and do things in order to take off of their pain and suffering of their sickness? i didnt think so. pro proven false.”

    I really hope you are never in a position like this, but unless you are in the shoes of someone who is suffering, and can be helped by medical marijuana, you have no right to make a comment like this. It is most certainly not “pro proven false”.

    Let me try to understand. God wants us to cry while davening. Nobody who cries while davening is Modern Orthodox. Therefore, Modern Orthodoxy is wrong.

    Do I even need to say why this is absurd?

    Personally I have found that the Bar Illan database has greatly benefited my learning. Aside from Gemara, Rashi, and Tosphos, I learn almost exclusively from my laptop. I’m able to find sources very quickly, and the letters are clear, unlike some older printings of seforim.

    And look what came from Chizkiyahu.

    It’s a shame that Mendelsohn’s descendants were not Jewish. But it doesn’t say anything about Mendelsohn himself.
