Should the States deal with the Amish?

CinemaGuy45

These people have chosen to live separately from the rest of society but the question is should society tolerate this?


I think their way of life is a menace to modern society.
First off Amish communities are an eyesore that just does not fit in with modern urban sprawl.



They have funny ideas about making their own clothes which damages the growth of minimum wage jobs and jobs in third world sweatshops.

They have very backwards ideas about hard honest work and many do not even bother with a social security number PPS number.
This selfish stubborn refusal to engage with welfare payments has stunted the growth of many cushy Government jobs this has caused a situation that it is very difficult to get a social worker job in an area with a large number of Amish.

Law enforcement and the legal profession have had many problems with the Amish community.
Low to zero crimes rates in Amish areas has caused zero growth rates and layoffs in law enforcement and the legal profession.

Local contractors and builders have had nothing but problems with this community.
One Amish family needs a job done and half the Amish community shows up at no charge to do the work.:rolleyes:

Local hotels hate when there is an Amish wedding these people will not book a reception at a hotel for the most part and the few that do will not drink alcohol and what is even worse their impeccable table manners leaves very little for the cleaning staff.

One local hotel owner that did not wish to be named said that an Amish function in his establishment was bad for his business as these people are just too boring and well behaved that it makes the other guests feel out of place and guilty.

Apparently they’ll have a population of 5 M in 2100. Mormons will be about 40M

I made that up.

325,000 of them, in fact, but still double what it was in 2001.

That’s too much effort for a few thanks.

The adults can do whatever they like, but I have serious issues with allowing kids to be raised in a repressed manner like this, much the same as my issues with people raising kids with repressive religious or social values. Some of it could definitely constitute neglect or psychological abuse in my view.

And before anyone asks, yes of course I apply the same to travellers, muslims, christians and so on. I'm always surprised that the concept is as controversial as it is, tbh. People shouldn't be free to damage their children psychologically because "muh religious beliefs".

Yeah, I'm not reading that

Great carpenters I hear, they'd make a better contribution to society than the other outcasts here.

Mod- Cinemaguy. At the very least you should credit Graces for the idea. This is one of this things the charter eludes to.
