[quote="lavender_dew"]What is it with calling grown adults “girls” and “boys”? Whether they are married or not? An adult is an adult.
This absolutely.
I remember going for a sheitel appointment before my wedding and the sheitel machers daughter asked her mother "Who's this lady?
Mother replied "She's not a lady yet!"
I was 25 years old but because I didn't yet wear a wedding ring or a head covering I wasn't a lady.
Prior to that I was oblivious to the 'fact' that being a lady depended on marital status.

No Jew should pledge full allegiance to or identify as a member of EITHER the Republican or Democrat party.
There are anti-Torah beliefs in the ideologies of both parties.
Along these lines, sometimes Christian ideology can LOOK like Jewish ideology at the surface level - but it is not.

Exactly.
RW Xtians do NOT represent Torah values!!
Most politicians are by definition corrupt.
Being somewhat better for the Jews does NOT equal being Torahdig.

Kosher food is not automatically healthier or more “pure.”
Coffee is an addictive substance. So is sugar. (I like them though.)
A 50 year-old unmarried person is not a “girl” or a “boy,” and an 18-year-old is not more of a “man” or a “lady” because of their marital status.
There should be mandatory paid maternity and paternity leave for a minimum of two months in every US state.
With the exception of strawberry shortcake, fruitcake is unappetizing.

Being from the “older generation” doesn’t automatically make a person better or “on a higher madreiga.”
Skunks are adorable (no, I wouldn’t have one as a pet because of the spray issue).
Summer fruit (peaches, plums, nectarines, melon) is more enjoyable to eat than fall/winter fruit (apples, oranges).

My unpopular opinion is that bensching out loud is inconsiderate, unless one is teaching a child or everyone is singing it together.

I'll take that a step further and say that summer fruit is superior to winter fruit.

Being older doesn't give a person an automatic right to respect.
That should be based on how a person conducts themself not their age.

We don't do a good enough job of telling prospective converts what they're really getting themselves into. The "3 time dissuade" should not just be about "there are so many mitzvos and they're hard." We need to tell them about the costs of frum living (sheitels, clothing, tuition, Shabbos/YT, simchos, yeshiva, seminary), the pressure to have a large family, the flaws of the shidduch system, the difficulty of integrating into the community fully as a convert.
And minors should never ever be converted and I'd really like to see the minimum age for conversion set at 25 when the brain is fully developed.
(This opinion is based off situations I know personally where there's a lot of regrets and resentment)

If you take 16 slivers of cake, it's still the same amount of calories as one or two (or three) regular pieces.
