Internet. Is it Assur?
I'm so sick of all this talk about the Internet being assur. The Jewish Observer published an issue illustrating the dangers of the internet, but the ads in that very issue contained websites for contact. Nice one. When an astute reader pointed out that tremendous inconsistency to them, the Jewish Observer released a statement that the internet is really Assur, but it is allowed for business ONLY. Come on. If you're SO frum that you think the internet is truly Assur, then you're frum enough to have enough Bitachon in Hashem that He will provide for you without the use of the internet.
The people that are allowed to use it for business have the same opportunity to look at pornography as the same guy who is doing it in an "Assur" way, by not using it "because he needs it for business."
So don't give me this "only for business" story.
