Past time to stop with the Amish jokes. They are good people. I have worked with some Amish carpenters. They don’t deserve this kind of “joke,”!
Thank you, doctor. Needed to be said.
I agree. That’s why I only mention them when the perps are white. It’s a joke to me.
It is satire. Everyone knows Amish don’t do these things. That’s what makes it funny.
Oh, LOOK! Someone else offended in America; what a surprise..
I am of Amish descent. I have family still in the Pennsylvania Dutch area. At first, the jokes were amusing. Now it just annoys me. They are HARD workers, honorable, honest and thorough in all they do. Good people. Loving people of faith. I love my family.
My family come from generations of stone masons. They built many of the stone, historic colonial houses one sees traveling in the eastern states. Now my uncles restore the original structures. (I inherited their gift. I have built literally hundreds of feet of property walls. I’m female. I have perfect placement perception. If our nation blows up, I’ll be headed into the middle of nowhere & will build my own shelter, and boulders to hide behind.)
All this isn’t to brag. It’s just that many have no idea who the Amish truly are. They aren’t just people who dress funny and ride around in carriages with their Bibles.
I agree. It’s not dark humor. It’s not even remotely funny or cute and hit the ad nauseum stage about a year ago.
