    My birthday only occurs once in four years. And sometimes not even once in four years.

    Bravo! The OP, Romain, is 100% correct.

    The US should put sanctions on Israel for its human rights violations against Chareidim.

    N0m: Would therapy in a glass see-through office/conference room that is completely sound-proof to the outside, that has people milling about outside able to see but unable to hear anything, be convoluted? It would seem the privacy is preserved.

    Now brace yourself to be called a sock puppet and misogynist (like you said) by the folks who cannot believe there are sane folks out there who don’t subscribe to their feminism.

    Avira, isn’t 1/5 and 1/10, in mathematical terms, considered to be a percentage? I’m saying the same percentage for everyone. But that means the rich (individually) pay more real dollars than the middle class. And proportionally so.

    Even with the context of what this thread is discussing, Syag is dead wrong. She openly admits above that the case against him isn’t certain (she says “there is less than 5% chance of it being false report”; the likelihood is much greater than she’s willing to admit, but her admission is sufficient.) Yet she’s willing to publicly condemn him as guilty by calling him a potential pedophile in an open forum and even goes so far to condemn anyone else who dares to defend the reputation of a man she admits may be innocent.

    Syag, what in heaven’s name are you ranting about? This is a generic conversation not regarding any particular case. If this is discussing a specific situation, I have no idea which one. Nothing indicated it was.

    “I doubt you have any idea how many more people have committed suicide as a result of being the victim of such crimes than as a result of having been accused of them.”

    And that gives you the right to potentially falsely accuse in the public arena?

    There are Asperger’s people all over the place. 1/3 of them don’t even know they have Asperger’s, 1/3 of them know but don’t care or do anything about it and the last 1/3 runs around getting treated.

    The very idea that Asperger’s is part of the autism spectrum itself is relatively newfangled.

    “A possible case may be made that trade will make life of Cuban people better”

    That’s really the entire case. Sanctions cause that innocent civilians to suffer. Usually the regime is living in luxury despite the sanctions. And sanctions have historically NOT effected regime change. That much is proven. So what exactly IS gained with the sanctions?

    Asperger’s is normal. There’s no more reason to share that he or she has Asperger’s than he would share that he’s colorblind, has an ingrown toenail, a toothache, he’s a lefty, he’s underweight, he had his gallbladder or wisdom tooth removed, etc.

    1. It isn’t limited to Jews or Orthodox. Non-Jews with the condition don’t usually purposely wear it on their sleeves.

    2. You could ask the exact same question about lack of “openness” regarding those diagnosed with schizophrenia, depression, bipolar, psychosis, anorexia and any number of other conditions.

    Jack, when you utilize rhetoric such as “the blue wall of silence”, you display an antagonism towards law enforcement and opposition to law and order.

    Let us not forget the fact that this deceased individual was a criminal who was resisting arrest at the time of his death, thereby bearing a large portion of responsibility for his own demise.

    huju: Your misplaced sarcasm is duly noted.

    Women shouldn’t be in any position that requires arms. This is independent of how effective or ineffective they may be in a fight with a male.

    huju: Sanctions are imposed by politicians, not by diplomats, high-ranking armed forces personnel, or even by foreign policy experts. Politicians on both sides of the aisle crave for the Cuban-American vote (to take one example.) The Cuban-American man on the street demands sanctions. He is no foreign policy experts and neither are the vast majority of the 535 Congressmen and Senators who coded the Cuban sanctions into US law.

    Politics wins over the best foreign policy any day of the year.

    It does not work. Cuba has been under US sanctions for the last almost 70 years in order to attempt to get rid of the Castro regime. Total failure. The same with North Korea. And virtually all other examples.

    Can Beis Din execute Edim Zomemin as soon as they receive testimony that they were, in fact, Edim Zomemin, without even giving the alleged/accused Edim Zomemin the opportunity to rebut the testimony against them?

    “Not you or me, that’s for sure.”

    So if the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah decide to make a Torah world event (Siyum, Asifa, rabbinic meeting, protest or whatever else) unifying the various segments, kehilas and communities in Klal Yisroel including Litvish, Chasidish and Sefardic, but there’s no official MO leadership participation or invitation, then we can presumably assume the Tzadikim on the Moetzes made an informed decision resulting in the inclusion that was selected.
