"join the Amish" - that's fucking funny

Kim, wow that sucks, I'm really sorry to hear that..from what little I know of you, it would seem as though you didn't deserve that...what I mean by that is bad things shouldn't happen to good people..same goes for you quasi, berto I think you're probably a good person too, you just don't like to let it show that often

I lived near an Amish community in Minnesota mid to late '80's..nice people, kept to themselves, etc...I remember some boys being arrested for breaking and entering, not to vandalize or steal, they just wanted to watch teevee
they can use fones and other modren technologies if it is necessary.. i.e. if they operate a furniture making business, they can use the telephone to order lumber deliveries or to call a customer and let them know their table is ready for pick-up, but they couldn't use that fone to call the wife at home to say they would be working late..

the only issue I have with the Amish is their mode of transportation...I respect their belief to roll around in a horse and buggy instead of a car, well let's face it, they wouldn't have a car, it would be a van...but anyway, I've seen up close and personal what happens when Amish buggy meets Kenworth W900 and its pretty well fucked. I blame the government...our roads should be much wider, not just for the Amish, just because...if you dont agree then you've probably never had to change a flat on the shoulder of a highway...
