Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Michigan War Against Amish

Seem to be a lot of whiners who are jealour of the Amish for some reason. "Whah, whah, they work harder than I do...and they're different. Horrors." And by the way, they do pay taxes and the law has recognized religious conscientious objectors since the draft was invented. So what's it to ya'?

A semi-hijack of my thread, no? What right does the state have to tell people they must have modern conveniences if they don't want them? Both my mother and father--though not Amish--grew up in houses without indoor plumbing. My father went to a 1-room school from grades 1 through 8 and didn't have eledctricity until he was in high school.
