It seemed WTF. Also I don't know much about Amish (we don't have any in Europe) except that they shun some modern technology, do you have any other wierd news stories about them?Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”
The world, in the last three hundred years, has not changed except in that sense.

To me it seemed like they where saying: "Oh look at us we're so moral and pure and cry for every tree and river soiled by polution and every abused child! We're better than you."Originally posted by Oncle Boris View Post

It makes me want to punch them or something. Makes the rest of the world look bad.

I don't know the wierd part is why did they choose to apologize for this somewhat to them connected injustice rather than say some of the other examples in the OP?Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”

Given Americans are of diverse backgrounds some without a hint of British ancestry, not necessarily. Of those that do have British ancestry how many actively follow the traditions and histories of the Brits. Who knows, that small sect may indeed feel some level of connection to the actions of the Brits.Originally posted by Heraclitus View Post"Just puttin on the foil" - Jeff Hanson

Well the comparison is not apt. One thing that can truly be said about the Amish they are uniquely culturally homogeneous while wide swaths of Americans are not."Just puttin on the foil" - Jeff Hanson
