[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 651749, member: 1550"] I agree with the young woman who wrote the book. You don't hear about serious crimes because they refuse to report them, including murder. Apparently, there is some animosity between Mennonites and the Amish too. AT any rate, I think this young woman is telling the truth. The Amish will use the English for what they need them for, however they do not call the police and rarely go to the hospital. For serious things, yes, they could. Do they stick together? Yes. Are woman garbage there? Yes, they are to listen to everything their husband says. Now there is higher Amish and Lower Amish. Lower Amish are more extreme and this was lower amish so this is all I have read about. But it's true that you don't hear about Amish crime and, of course, there is crime. They are people. They just don't report it. And since they have no social security numbers and don't even make sure a birth is recorded in public records, they pretty much can do what they want. And so many people believe "the Amish are good people." Well, some are. Some aren't. Some are very good. Some are very bad. But the English folks don't know who is and who isn't. They all act nice around the English. They're not stupid. They know that if a man hauls off and lands one between his wife's eyes in public, the police will be called. They save it for their community. I just don't believe nothing bad goes on there. I do know women are not considered equal and that is never good. Regarding pets, even if the Amish think their dogs are livestock, why abuse them? Why are they not privvy to the same animal rights rules as the rest of us? Why can they torture them and get away with it? That is something I will never excuse. More and more often, we ARE interrupting this puppy mills, and I'm glad. You don't mistreat animals, even livestock. [/QUOTE]
