    simple, They realized they were wrong.

    “they only don’t do so very PUBLICLY, ”
    Lol
    why not? Is one of the sheva mitzvos not to eat human meat publicly? which one?

    You say “the “30 mitzvos” are what the goyim “took upon themselves” and are not from HKBH.”
    who are they from? Are they being praised for it or is at waste of their time? Is the fact that the ydont sell human meat publicly a good thing, or is it a pointless deprivation of a delicious source of protein? (or as you described it “ok”)

    ““pure am haaratzos”: is there pure and impure am haaratzos?”

    Yes some times it is adulterated with a bit of lomdus, not in this case.

    “because I never encountered “pure” am haaratzus, ”

    Wait no longer:
    “The Rashba and the Ritvah opine,like the Ramban, that it is permitted to eat human meat.”

    That line was pure am haaratzos they do not hold it is permitted to eat human meat.

    “I’m waiting for Ubiq to reply. If he doesn’t, then I will.”
    I’m not sure what i am supposed to reply to.

    Kluger yid addressed a question to me , but It should be addressed to the rebetzin. It is similar to the question I asked 4 times that has yet to be answered
    Here it is for the 5th time ” “A goy being meanes an unmarried woman. Are you ok with that too?””

    as to your silly last comment , youve lost the train of conversation, let me sort you ut a bit
    you said “You mix up d’oraysa (which they hold there is no issur min haTorah) with d’rabbonon. You also mix up the d’rabbonon for a Jew with a goy” No I mixed up no such thing, and no, and no rishon holds eating human meat is “permitted”

    We are not discussing if their is a technical issur and whether it is deoryasa or derababon. The question is if it is “ok” You said that as long as there isnt a technical issur then it was automatically ok.

    THIs is what we are now discussing, this led me to my question here it is again: “A goy being meanes an unmarried woman. Are you ok with that too?”
    while you are at it, you can answer Kluger yid’s question too, specifically is it “ok” “Jew who is meanes a divorced Jewess”?

    You didnt “refute” anything you just repeated the same misinformation year after year.

    If he died after pesach, is in coma or ran away you dont have any problem as has been explained to Joseph year after year in the “buying chometz back” thread.

    If he dies during pesach that might be a problem, though again not an insurmountable one. T is likely comparable to Joseph’s subscribe and save which is a beferish din as to what to do. Though I’m not sure about the land sold to the guy which contains hefker chometz

    Your first statement : “He gives you a down payment and then you repossess it when he fails to pay the full amount after Pesach. ” was spot on.

    I believe there is a typo in your second though “The concept of the goy saying “I’m keeping the chometz” is basically a fantasy dreamt up by people who don’t understand how it works.”

    As you correctly point out i your first statement if the goy were to pay the full amount after PEsach he would get to keep the chometz.
    The “fantasy dreamt up by people who don’t understand how it works. is the reverse “thinking of not buying the chometz back from the goy” which as you correctly point out is hogwash, as thee is no “buying back”

    To elaborate/ clarify, metaltalin are not acquired by kesef. If you go to a store, and but a loaf of bread on credit, it is yours 100%. Say it gets stolen from your car, it is your bread that was stolen bot the store owners you still owe him money.

    If you default and never pay him, that diesnt change the fact that you still own it and owe him money (or the bread back).

    Now usually a sale of bread is not structured in a way to allow giving the bread back. But mechiras chometz (like a mortgage on a house) is. The guy bought it it is 100% is completely no its and or buts.
    After pesach je either pays what he owes, or gives HIS chometz back

    “but if you structure the sale so that if the buyer doesn’t pay it reverts then retroactively you owned chometz on Pesach”

    Incorrct, as has been explaind svral tims over several years in this thread

    “That is the way every sale I’ve witnessed has been done”

    Have a look at sample contracts, for example printed in kitzur.

    “He has to pay up, and we can absolutely sue him for it.”

    This seems addressed to me, but i explicitly said that already “Yes, and there is no question he halachicly owes me the money, and while I’m no lawyer I believe legally as well, exactly as you say.” So I’m not sure why you are repeating that.

    You comment about Arav kablan, is EXACTLY to alleviate my concern, but its use is controversial and most (chabad being a notable exception do not use on)

    “Somewhere in the discussion you missed that ”

    nope I missed no such thing. you said that if something is not strictly assur the it was automatically ok . and that to suggest otherwise was saying “that the Torah “missed” some moral guidelines and prohibitions that we (laymen – not Rabbonon) need to add”

    “eating human meat (which many Rishonim and poskim say is muttar).”
    source please.

    ” is there a daas Torah that says a Goy needs to work on his middos”

    Um yes. I dont have the exact mareh makom off hand, but there is a medrash how in sedom they would all steal less than a shava peruta so that none of them technically “stole” The point of this is how bad they were. I guess you understand that as hey that was a pretty clever work around . (I dont recall the source of hand, and I’m not sure how it fits with the fact that even less than a shiur is assur for a goy ) I also recall how they are praised for cutting off feet to fit in bed very smart tactics.

    “are you asking if GOY must act lifnei meshuras hadin or if a GOY has the mitzva assay of Kedoshim Tihyou?”
    nope didnot ask that.
    I DID ask : “A goy being meanes an unmarried woman. Are you ok with that too?”
    (for the 4th time know) You have this habit of ignoring questions that disprove your silly theory, I noticed that you didn’t answer I’m not sure why you think ignoring them makes them go away

    “What you wrote simply does not conform with real Das Torah.”
    Ah but I spoke to super daas torah which trumps das Torah.

    “The Rashba and the Ritvah opine,like the Ramban, that it is permitted to eat human meat.”

    Yeah um this is pure am haaratzos, since without question it is assur for a Jew to have haanah from a mes. So no they do not hold it is permitted to eat human meat. Though they do hold it isnt included in a specific issur.

    “What do you mean “A goy being meanes an unmarried woman”?’

    I mean to force her to have relations with him. As best I can tell it doesn’t violate any of the sheva mitzvos, I guess you say that is ok. correct? (technically it doesnt violate a strict issur for a JEw either though you have more cop outs like Vehavta lereacha, or lo sasuru So I won’t ask you about a Jew being מאנס another one, plus i’m afraid to hear your answer)

    “Do you think that the Torah “missed” some moral guidelines and prohibitions that we (laymen – not Rabbonon) need to add?! ”

    I’m not sure what you mean. Have you never heard of lifeni meshuras hadin? kedoshim tiyhu?
    Just because something is technically not an issur doesnt automatically make it proper.
    Are you not fammiliar with chazal that say We would no murder is wrong even without it being assur ?
    Would you not know? Did chazal think if murder wasn’t an issur then “the Torah “missed” some moral guidelines and prohibitions “?

    And anyway I asked Daas Torah, they said “Goyim really shouldn’t be eating other goyim its bad middos” So there now do you think cannibalism is immoral?

    Even you, clearly don’t fully define a fetus as a baby since you allow for its “murder” if ” the mother’s life must be saved.” something you wouldn’t (I assume) allow with born babies.

    you are doing the same strange thing you do when confronted with the uncomfortable fact that the Torah abhors pure free market capitalism,. you come up with all sorts of strange pretzels of “logic” to fit hings.

    why can’y upu just say you support capital punishemtn, although unfortunatly sometimes (rarely?) it leads to a miscarriage of justice.

    Leo Frank was found guilty his sentence was capital punishment. true the sentence was commuted, but practically speaking it was carried out. Those responsible for the lynching were not prosecuted although there are pictures of them
    In other words, they had tacit government approval .
    Regarding Ethel Rosenberg is more astounding. does not “naming names” warrant the death penalty? does turning her brother into a communist? What on earth are you talking about
