It could also be looked upon as more of the multiple tiered justice system. IOW I think people here, if jealous, are more jealous that these dudes get away with what they can't.
How far exactly is the nearest Amish person to your home? I can guess by your blind love for them, but come on how far?
350 yards.
I will GUARANTEE YOU that I know and do business with 10X the Amish individuals that you do. They are, as a community, the most decent people you will ever meet. There are isolated instances of a Dutchman...…...well......….being a douchebag...….....much like yourself. Every society has them. But the percentage of Yanks, English...……..us...…..that goes outside the law on rules, regulations, taxes, what have you, is FAR higher than what you'll find in the Amish community.
Being a draft dodging, parasite upon our society is not the same as being a conciencous objectors.
People who work and produce needed goods and services and are not a burden on the public treasury are not parasites on society and I applaud them for not wishing to go kill people in a foreign country or assist in any way.
Junk pole barns, filthy baked goods, and wooden lawn trinkets are not needed goods. You guys have no clue what you are talking about because you haven't experienced living among them. This idea that you want to celebrate them sticking it to the government is based solely on some romantic notion you have about the way they live. That notion is false. If any other group of people disregarded their civic duties as Americans you'd be all over them. But you think they're so cute with their barefoot kids and phony lifestyles that you support them. Go down to your local veterans memorial and read the names of the draftees that have been killed and maimed in service of this country against their will, because it's part of the responsibility that comes with living in the greatest country in the history of the earth, and then tell me how great these vermin are.

I've known a few "draftees" that would say it was their responsibility to serve, against their will or not, so that the Amish and others of their ilk could practice their religion while living in the greatest Country in the history of the earth.

I wish those of you who do not live around the Amish and Mennonites had to. You simply have no idea. While I respect, and admire them, in many ways, the fact is that they want to be able to move into a neighborhood and live as they choose, and make those of us who have been living there all along compromise our way of living in order to accommodate theirs.
If you have ever had to drive on a highway covered in horse chit on a hot summer day, and have it all over your car, you just might change your mind about them.
damn it James, I'm thinking about changing my sig line now!

It goes beyond private property rights. Far beyond them. This is not 1820, when the only mode of transportation was by horse, and the roads were dirt, and the horse chit could be tromped into that. Horse chit on a paved road stays there until a rain washes it off. I and others paid for that road through the taxes we pay...................that Amish or Mennonite in that horse and buggy does not pay anywhere close to the taxes that I pay.
Do you, or any other modern farmers there, move a tractor from one field to another on the paved roads?
Do y'all wash the muddy tires off before you bring it out of the field and onto the paved road others have paid taxes for? Some folks might not like the stuff that's in that mud on their roadways, getting onto their cars/trucks, into their yards/driveways where their children and dogs play. Them chemical spray rigs "never" leak either, right? You know that mud stays on the paved road until it rains too. Then it runs off into the commonly owned waterways.
Go ahead, worry about some road apples if you must, you paid for that road.
Geno
If caught, and some have been, a farmer that allows chemicals to leak out on a road, or has an oil or diesel spill on a road, can be fined.
We had an Amish farmer here who was caught pumping hog manure from his hog houses, into a river that was used a water source for a city downstream. He was fined, and the Amish lovers had a fit, thinking he was being picked on.
What you're trying to do is to compare life where you live to what it's like in other places, and that ain't gonna work.
Actually, I'm trying to state that some horse crap on the road, or a slow buggy in front of me, isn't such a big deal. Whether or not I pay more road tax than the buggy owners or not.
Are places aren't so dissimilar. We have slow cows, farm tractors and haying equipment, Spray rigs, Granny Farm Lady that drives to town once a month and pulls out in front of you even though there's three miles of empty road behind you, and you folks are lucky in that it rains every so often even in summer. Cow crap on our roads might be there for months before the next storm comes in September. 60-90 days without rain here is not a drought.
I'm not sorry you have to drive though a horse apple or two. It's really not a big deal.
And the Amish are not the only folks that try to get away with dumping crap where it ain't supposed to be. And the rancher lovers, or the industry lovers have a fit thinking their local job providers are being picked on. Happens everywhere James.

at one time in prescott, horse poop was pretty common on the streets, and there were rings on the curbs to hitch them too. now we got damn kalifornicans in there cutsy pants riding bicycles. i would rather have the horses.

Lol I love it. His buddy Byler was gonna join in but he's busy repacking a 100 dollar 55 gallon drum of peach jam from China into dirty half pint jars so he can sell them to white people next summer for 6 bucks each.

I had a dream just last night that I was trying to shoot something with an AK and it wouldn't work. I have nothing against AK's...not a hater. [bleep] u cker just wouldn't work!
I'm familiar with AK's having owned one. I knew how it worked in the dream and wasn't doing anything wrong. It just wouldn't work...which is a recurring dream with me. Not just with AK's but with other guns. Of course, I've had that happen in real life. The Judge is a prime culprit and I once hand an original Sharps I was hunting with and the trigger just wouldn't pull on a big buck. Some would say buck fever. I dunno. It just wouldn't pull.
No man . Dont take it like I'm poking at ya. Been watching these this evening. Take comfort in probably 65 75 percent or more of our country is like this and most of them are probably Liberal Socialist Democrats
