And that 40% of fish is mislabeled as other fish.

There is no pig’s milk or horse’s milk sold in the United States. Most dairy farms do not have any pigs or horses at all! It is illegal to put any milk from any animal other than a cow, sheep, or goat into any product that is transported across state lines for sale in the United States, and if anyone ever tried to do that they would get caught and it would cause a major scandal. In fact, despite draconian inspections that are far more frequent and strict than the supervision provided by the major kashrut agencies to food processors that don’t sell meat, there has never been such a scandal.

Uhhuh, uhhuh. And the beef doesn’t have any horse meat either. It is illegal and there would be a big scandal if they were caught. Yup.

Its not inconsisant at all to say that too many chumras lead poeople over the edge, It clearly says you are not to veer from the torah from the left or the RIGHT

If you think that means that it is assur to do chumras, you are very mistaken. The gemara is full of chumras that it discusses amoraim doing, and does so with admiration usually. (with exceptions like Rabi Tarfon who did like Beis Shammai)

Why just in a few day’s ago’s daf we had the story of the tannaim on the boat who were machmir against the halacha for techum shabbos.

Its funny how people always talk about how Culas lead to OTD’s but never say chumras lead to OTD-ness

Sorry, your post is nonsense. The people who say that indeed do think that kulas lead to OTD, and that chumras have the exact opposite reaction. There is no inconsistency in that theory.

Although, I happen to think that neither leads to OTD. Depending on how you define kulah. If you define kulah as not keeping normative halacha, then yes, teaching your kids to not keep normative halacha means you are OTD and your kids are probably the same as you.

They don’t put pigs milk in with cows milk in the US.

Of course not. They just put horse meat in all the beef. But they would never have the gall to put horse milk in the cow milk. Because they know that the jews buy it and that we can’t drink horse milk. Maybe that’s why.

I don’t think its exactly 100% pigs milk, otherwise the OU, CRC, or any other hechsher that supervises Chalav Stam products, would be under fire and the supervisors would be put in to cherem (I mean, why would they allow pigs milk into Jewish homes by giving, say, an OU-D).

Ask them that question. Don’t ask me.

Cholov stam milk has more lactose because it isn’t watered down.

Alternatively, it has a different effect because it is pig’s milk

I usually tell people that I don’t answer open-ended questions (especially for anonymous callers). I do that by saying “I only answer yes or no questions”.

I also say that. But I say it whenever I don’t want to answer the question.

And they usually know what I mean, if you know what I mean.

She should ask for more specific questions.

Popa would say: “I’m happy to talk about that. But people have very different conceptions of tznius. Certainly she is not dressed like the taliban women in ramat beit shemesh, and certainly she isn’t dressed like rachav. So I’ll tell you the sort of way she dresses, and tell me if you have any follow up questions.

She always wears skirts and long sleeves. Her skirts…”

The truth is that my real theory for the shidduch crisis is called the creepy theory.

See, there are really the same number of men and women. But some of the men are creepy, and we take them out of the pool leaving more women than men. And anyone who has ever been to a frum singles event knows precisely what I am talking about.

I also have the chicken wings theory of the shidduch crisis.

Let’s see if y’all can figure it out.

lol wut

I thought DY meant that in the bakery moshol, people can buy bread at the end of the day and put it in their freezer to keep fresh. So too, men should sign up wives to put in storage for when they get tired of their first one or she gets stale.

Obama’s statement in 2008 about “bitter people clinging to guns and religion” causes any gun related bill to be viewed as an attack on the rural culture.

Yeah, its funny what happens when people start to pick up on the fact that you look down on them and think they are pathetic losers. Which happens pretty quickly when you get caught saying it on a live mike.

Did the first trees have rings in them?

And did the first rings have trees in them?

big deal, the problem with that argument is that other countries have the same violent movies and video games as we do. Yet the firearm related death rate in the US is far ahead of any other in the western world.

The relevant number is not the “firearm related death”; it is the “violent death”. Counting firearm related death is like saying chinese people are healthier because they don’t eat as much pizza.

Confession: The Second Amendment is a little out of date and should be taken out of the Constitution altogether.

And it can be, and maybe one day it will be. Also maybe one day the 13th, 14th, and 15th will be taken out. Careful what you wish for.

maybe get a feral dog

This is interesting sugya. Maybe I read some stuff on it.

And of course there would have to be zionists there so there would be someone for the “real Jews” to hate

the zionists would have been willing to make their state on mars.
