So you found a good Guinea pig ziniger, blame the women! Gasp! They want to live next to their parents, They don't want to move out! How stupid and shortsighted of them! You know Where the real shortsightedness is? How far removed you are from the situations our women are in. LET THEM DRIVE!!! If yo...

Fundamental Christians, especially in the U.S, became a lot more vocal and organized in trying to introduce laws according to their beliefs, such as abortion and gay marriages. It might be a result of the general society becoming more liberal by allowing these things and this is their reaction.

Beautifully said, Motti. There are those that will argue that eastern cultures are less violent and Puritan than the judeo - Christian tradition, and that some ideas you mentioned didn't necessarily come from the Jewish tradition. I'll need to come back with sources when I have more time. I think th...

Very interesting NYT article on the changing dynamics of today's marriages. While some of the things mentioned are not applicable to our kind of marriages, a lot of it is.

This asifa is making me nauseous.

Isn't having a tznius asifa about women's clothes for men the opposite of tznius?

I think what she wants is to know that you thought of her and you felt she's important enough for you to work a little to figure out what she wants. So try different things, and ask her what she what she liked until you get good at discerning her taste. Another thing you can try is call or text her ...

You have a point נייע הודעה. Sometimes I don't either understand when people hock against this group so much when They themselves are extreme relative to other cultures. Frum stands for fanatically religious on the rights, u in the middle and modern to your left.

While I doubt there'll be a big revolution, changes are going to happen slowly. Twenty - thirty years ago, you rarely found chassidish people with college degrees while these days special ed degrees are more common.Granted, most of these degrees are obtained in degree mills kind of schools that don'...

The sodium comes from somewhere else, not the calcium carbonate.

Yes. Different elements. Sodium ions have a +1 charge and calcium ions have +2 charge. Therefore, their pair has equal opposite charge to give you a neutral salt. Chlorine ions are -1 and carbonate, Which is not an element but a molecule, is -2.

Basic chemistry we learn in high school. No need for the title professor, but I'll gladly accept it.

Sodium is not carbonate. A salt is a general word for an ionic solid that dissolve in water. For example, table salt, is sodium chloride. When is dissolve in water you get positively charged sodium ions and negatively charged chloride ions. Calcium carbonate is another kind of salt. When dissolved y...

My guess is that calcium carbonate is both calcium and carbonate, basically a salt, so it weighs more than just calcium alone.

And why should only he have authority? Shouldn't marriage be a partnership between two adults?

So define authentic yiddishkeit and our religion and how they're different. You can't drop a comment like that and not explain. Then we can argue if you're right or wrong.

Basically, it all boils down to what I originally said that girls are raised in almost a different religion than boys. She never learned, so she doesn't understand what learning means and then has no clue what the difference between halacha and minhag is. And he feels he can laugh about her tmimus, ...

There's a difference between being critical and being a critical thinker.

ס'סתם פטומי מילי דיינע רייד ווייל דער עיקר אביוז אדער להיפוך קומט פון די חינוך אין ''שטוב'' דער ציבור קען זייער גערן באשטיין אלעס אנצושמירען אויפען מוסד מילא רעדט מען אזוינע מילי. צוריק צום נושא: ווייסט איינער עפעס מער איבער דעים?

Throwing the kids out from school won't solve the problem. They'll start their own school. What will solve the problem is stopping to lecture so much about tznius to tzniusdige women and give women other forms of expressing their yiddishkeit besides tznius. Stop telling women that tznius to them is ...

Where did you see the word religion? And according to my experience, this problem is more prevalent in the chassidish world. You are misinterpreting almost everything I'm saying. Maybe you should learn how to use Google translate better. Find me a woman who doesn't want her husband clean and decent ...

I never said women don't care about their husband's rochnius. Of course they do. What I said was for the husband to respect HER rochnius! Some chassidic men have this attitude that a women's rochnius is not as important as having his fancy breakfast or lunch. Most women want their ruchnius respected...
