    Yseribus: There’s no evidence they do any such thing.

    Back to the question, are Melaleuca’s consumer products good quality?

    AAQ: Thank you for the fact check. You can’t really fully blame Luna. She isn’t the only one who buys lock, stock and barrel everything the media feeds her. It’s a very common affliction.

    NPR and PBS should not receive a penny in government funds.

    NPR is a far-left opinion rag.

    Participant, how is it legally different for the government to regulate a requirement to cover ones legs, stomach or other body parts than to regulate covering ones mouth and nose?

    Nothing wrong with airing dirty laundry.

    How do you think they handled the laundry before washers/dryers? Aired on the outside clothesline.

    OP/SDD: How is mandating masks to board a plane any different than mandating wearing pants? Where do you see a legal distinction, based on your constitutional arguments, between requiring persons to cover their mouth and nose compared to the longstanding requirement that persons cover their legs and stomach in order to board a flight?

    Additionally, the airlines aren’t required to recognize people’s constitutional rights. Only the government is so required.

    ” I’m not sure how often the paid-leave option can be taken for those contemplating big families.”

    It would be illegal discrimination to deny it to larger families what’s offered to smaller families.

    A parent should be able to take off the full 6 months of paid leave for each of their 10 childbirths.

    There’s the obvious issue of the choson being lifted over the mechitza and viewing the women’s section (before even getting into the issue of the women dressed to kill.)

    Anyways, until 15-20 years ago I don’t remember chasanim being lifted on a table. It was always and only on a chair that they lifted the choson. The table seems to be a bit modernish.

    In fact, the idea of lifting the choson and the kallah at the same time to wave to each other is also nisht oisgehalten. It wasn’t done in ehrliche weddings until not too long ago. And it’s lacking in the tznius department, especially since the chosen and kallah aren’t the only ones who gain visibility across the mechitza when that happens.

    People have short term memories. When the vaccines first came out they were sold as once and done (either one or two shots, vzeh hu.) Only later did they start insisting on a booster. After people got upsed to that, you started hearing murmurs of a fourth shot.

    Now they’re starting to slip into the public consciousness never ending, continuous, booster shots.

    RW: I’m referring to the time since the establishment of the State of Israel.

    P.S. The State of Israel is as much in Golus as is Iran, Russia, America, Venezuela, France and Germany.

    P.P.S. More Jews are killed for being Jewish in the Israeli Golus than in the Iranian Golus, German Golus or American Golus.

    Avira, I’m not sure I agree with you. If a Reform Jew posted on this site would you entertain his Reform views and engage in a conversation whether the Orthodox or Reform views are more correct? If not, I don’t see why engaging with the above Open Orthodox adherent is any different.

    Ghadora: Your reply left out responding to the second paragraph of the comment you were addressing. If you live your life in a Western societal framework and base your worldview on the same, rather than living a Torah societal framework and view on how you evaluate societal issues, then indeed what you say may be the current secular view on these issues. (Secular society changes its stance on these issues every several decades, moving further decadently/”progressively” to the left.)

    And to be consistent with your self-subscribed views, you’d surely express the same modern Western views on supporting toeiva, abortion and blasphemy as being the correct and proper view for yourself and others to believe in, support and subscribe to.

    Ghadora: Does Kayin having killed Hevel also demonstrate, per your above logic, that the Eibeshter’s opposition to murder changed somewhere along the way? And that the Yidden’s mass worship of the eigel whilst Moshe Rabbeinu was away demonstrates the Eibeshter’s previous opposition to Avoda Zora also changed somewhere along the way? As you argue, the record shows that the Eibeshter “abstained” in each of those cases.

    Presumably you also argue for the righteousness of abortion, toeiva, and blasphemy, as they too are all fully legal and constitutionally protected practices in modern Western society, apparently demonstrating the Eibeshter’s “abstentions” and thus change in reasoning somewhere along the way.

    “I think her time is long overdue, whether she is black, white or other.”

    To huju: While you disagree with Mr. Biden, Old Joe in the White House does insist it be a person of African descent and not an Asian, Caucasian or “other”.

    Regarding your agreement with Joe that it be a she and not a he, Hashem has very good reason to insists judges only be a He.

    The zionist State IS an apartheid state. The way that state brutalizes Chareidim, and has continuously been doing so since its founding in 1948 until this very day, as witnessed by many and reported widely including on this site, amply demonstrates as such.

    Yes. Biden thinks Russia is likely to invade Ukraine. Europe, and Ukraine itself, think Russia is unlikely to actually invade, and is merely sabre rattling in order to extract concessions from NATO.
