The Amish use Quarter horses for their buggies. No Clydesdales. It wouldnt be practical for the distances they travel.

they tend to use Standardbreds, purchased cheap off the trotting/pacing circuit. They are showy travellers. Quarterhorses are sprinters. I see what we call Mennonites, same as Amish in the States, every Thursday at a livestock sale I attend. They work their horses to death. They are also very much into puppy mills.

although don't ask me exactly how. We have both Amish and Mennonites in the States.
I used to work near Amish country, and I'll never forget one day going into the local Friendly's and all the other patrons were Amish.

That you have to insult the ONLY fundamentalist group that DOESN'T want to turn our country into a facsit theocracy?
The Amish don't even vote because they don't want their influence to override that of the "english" population.
Yeah, a lot of them are not fond of us english. But at least they live up to their ideals and don't try to push it down the rest of our throats.

you're probably wasting your time and your blood pressure might suffer. Amish are also conscientious objectors, something we need more of in my opinion.

and I am related to them, too. My family came to Pennsylvania in the 1730s.
My parents live in Amish country, and are actually good friends with a few. I even exchange emails with a little Amish girl who uses my dad's computer when she visits.
The joke is simply that the Amish won't read this. See? It's funny because it's unexpected. Nobody hates the Amish. Get it?

well my iriquois great-to-the-tenth power grandfather, who was a chieftain, goddammit, abducted an amish woman & made her his squaw. his lowest squaw, because she was pasty.
she had to pick lice from his headdress, wash his jockstrap, and she didn't even GET to churn any butter, because he ate the cows he stole from your bootlick amish pacifist/commie ancestors.
AND my grandmother was a cherokee princess....

in fact, some communities send members to an alternative energy symposium in Sweden every year to study up on the latest technological advances in that area. They aren't anti-electricity when it means staying off the power grid and generating renewable energy (seen plenty of Amish farms with solar and wind power in Ohio).

32. Why? I'm from a Mennonite family |
|
(something like Amish with cars), and my mom's side of the family comes from an Amish community. Everyone we know there votes liberal Dem because they care deeply about civil rights, the plight of the poor, and the environment (many Amish do with electricity and live simply so they aren't taking too much from the earth; "leave it as you found it" I've heard some say). Two of my cousins are gay, and NOBODY from that side of the family ever had a problem with it! They practice what they preach when it comes to their Christianity.
I say, EMBRACE the Amish! :-)

How in the world could someone confuse the Amish with the Southern Baptists?
Willful ignorance continues to flourish in great amounts these days.
Perhaps it was a little easier for myself as I interacted with them when in Iowa City.
They may be gentle people, but they are tough negotiators regarding financial matters. Can't blame them though.
At least they know how live without modern conveniences, the lack of which would cause many to riot.

I lusted after her in the worst way. I always wondered if she was old enough to go raise hell for two years like some of them do. I had evil plans for every orifice of her innocent young body...
But instead I bought a ham and swiss sandwich for $2.99. Overall not a bad choice.

Gawd, I could tell what RELIGION that guy was and I started laughing so hard I had to run back to the back and try to get my friend to go up and help him. Had to explain my fits of laughter and then that made HER unable to go up and help him (she was a little scared) so he just stood there saying "Hello? Hello?"

Heck, I wish I was still that horny. At my age, you have to pay good money to be horny like that.

I was NOT a virgin until I was 31, I'll just leave that little factoid out of this, but I just never thought of guys thinking of my EVERY orifice......now that I am older, and wiser (???) I can totally see that, but back then I had no clue about really kinka-zoid stuff.
On edit: too bad you didn't meet me. I hear I was rather easy.

corrupting a mennonite girl would at least be something you could look back fondly on. Of course, I guess that's true for a good ham sandwich....

78. This calls for some Weird Al |

As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain I take a look at my wife and realize she's very plain But that's just perfect for an Amish like me You know, I shun fancy things like electricity At 4:30 in the morning I'm milkin' cows Jebediah feeds the chickens and Jacob plows... fool And I've been milkin' and plowin' so long that Even Ezekiel thinks that my mind is gone I'm a man of the land, I'm into discipline Got a Bible in my hand and a beard on my chin But if I finish all of my chores and you finish thine Then tonight we're gonna party like it's 1699
We been spending most our lives Living in an Amish paradise I've churned butter once or twice Living in an Amish paradise It's hard work and sacrifice Living in an Amish paradise We sell quilts at discount price Living in an Amish paradise
A local boy kicked me in the butt last week I just smiled at him and turned the other cheek I really don't care, in fact I wish him well 'Cause I'll be laughing my head off when he's burning in hell But I ain't never punched a tourist even if he deserved it An Amish with a 'tude? You know that's unheard of I never wear buttons but I got a cool hat And my homies all I agree I look good in black... fool If you come to visit, you'll be bored to tears We haven't even paid the phone bill in 300 years But we ain't really quaint, so please don't point and stare We're just technologically impaired
There's no phone, no lights, no motorcar Not a single luxury Like Robinson Caruso It's as primitave as can be
We been spending most our lives Living in an Amish paradise We're just plain and simple guys Living in an Amish paradise There's no time for sin and vice Living in an Amish paradise We don't fight, we all play nice Living in an Amish paradise
Hitchin' up the buggy, churnin' lots of butter Raised a barn on Monday, soon I'll raise another Think you're really rightous? Think you're pure in heart? Well, I know I'm a million times as humble as thou art I'm the pious guy the little Amlettes wanna be like On my knees day and night scorin' points for the afterlife So don't be vain and don't be whiny Or else, my brother, I might just have to get medieval on your heinie
We been spending most our lives Living in an Amish paradise We're all crazy Mennonites Living in an Amish paradise There's no cops or traffic lights Living in an Amish paradise But you'd probably think it bites Living in an Amish paradise

I live fairly near the Cumberland County Playhouse here in Tennessee. A female acquaintance who worked at the Huddle House as a waitress once waited on a mennonite family. This girl, let's call her Judy, was sweet as could be, but kind of "blonde," if you take my meaning. She saw the mennonites with their bonnets and said with her biggest smile:
"Oh, you're just so CUTE in those little outfits! Are you going to the Playhouse to be in a play?"
No one really had the heart to explain it to her, poor girl. I decided I didn't really want to date her after all.

81. You should walk through an area after they hunt deer, they have a total |

disregard for the hunting laws. They shoot everything they see, bucks, does and fawns, then pickout the legal ones and let the others lie. The same goes for fishing. You should see an area after they log it out. They build a lot of homes in this area, people think they are getting craftsmanship all you get it cheap labor, ask a carpenter. I have read stories from former Amish about how the church elders abuse the children.

82. Hostility toward the Amish? |
|
Isn't that kind of a waste of good hostility? There are SO MANY others more deserving . . . http://www.wgoeshome.com

you presume my hostility is a limited resource. I can assure you it is not. I have enough to meet all my needs and still kick a little Amish ass.
