Though, not Jew myself, I've been a to private jewish school for two years.
I want to say: all kosher food does is restrict consumer choice to products sanctioned by a small religious mafia perceiving a tax on every products they "authorize".
You could conceivably have the quality of products the author describes in products not sanctioned by religious mafiosos.
And the whole "holier than thou" some of the orthodox (of every religions) have is very tiring.
- jeffwass 11y agoSo basically your comment is a "holier than thou" critique of Jewish Kashrut laws, which concludes with you complaining about others having "holier than thou" attitudes. And ironically you've posted on a Friday evening when the religious amongst the community you're criticising are not available to provide counterpoint.
- jeffwass 11y agoSo after four years of comments on Hacker News I've finally posted my first negative-voted comment. Am I right in interpreting this to mean it's perfectly acceptable for the grandparent to write something insulting by saying : "all kosher food does is restrict consumer choice to products sanctioned by a small religious mafia perceiving a tax on every products they "authorize"." But pointing out the inherent hypocrisy in the grandparents post as per my comment above is out-of-bounds? Edit - my first post was rated at -3 when I wrote his second comment. But was up voted to -1 by the time I hit Submit.
