They're just people with pretty much the general range of aptitudes of

What they do seem to have is a sense of quality and durability that
doesn't seem to be common in general consumer goods. �I'm not saying

Of course I come from a fairly frugal family of mostly German ancestry,
so the Amish and I probably have at least a little in common as to how
we look at physical goods...

Do Germans also beat their wives and children, and consider them
property?
Likely as many germans as Amish.
It is not, regardless what the media may report, the "norm".
MOST are very loving husbands and fathers.
It's a religious cult, and these are part of their belief system.
Women and children are property, and it is considered a good thing to
beat them regularly. Gods will, ya know!
That is not true.

Exactly right, you beat me to it.

If you were Amish, your father would have beat you instead of Harry K.
It's god's will. If your father didn't beat you and your mother
regularly, you would go to hell.

I see you conveniently ducked what was asked of you. You made (and keep
on making) the bizarre assertions you are making without any supporting
evidence. Other than continuing to repeat yourself what evidence can you
offer?- Hide quoted text -

well amish do have antiquated ideas of how women should be treated,
and inbreeding of such a small society is a problem. recently some
inspectors showed up at a amish puppy mill, so the amish guy killed
500 defenseless dogs.

such behavior is well theres no excuse. he didnt want to meet the
minimum rules.

pennsylvania is passing a law to prevent this from ever happening
again

amish are unnecessarily attacked. not long ago a amish school was
vandalized smashing some irreplaceable hand operated equiptement
