They have steeled themselves to be disciplined....you can see it in the children as well.

Bet the rates are very much the same ~ the causes are physical/chemical and not spiritual.

The causes are not always physical/chemical. If they were, psychologists would be out of business.

Their peaceful ways? Their faith in God? The fact that they mind their own business and don't bother their neighbors? They dress funny? I can't think of a single thing about the Amish that is not admirable.

Compared to the other religion that dresses funny...I'll take the Amish. I respect the Amish. And if a tragedy like this has befallen them, I pray for them. But, somehow I think they will be the most capable of getting through this.

Why why why do wisecracks like that appear on such horrific events? Note: One is NOT required to post anything

Easy now. It's called gallows humor and NR's sardonic comment was entirely appropriate, considering that the MSM generally tries to blame these things on all kinds of influences. I was just scrolling through to see if anyone had said it, 'cause if they hadn't, I was gonna.

i heard they are not just looking for evidence but that their are children missing and they think they may have gotten away from the killer,ran out of the school and ran away. The one's missing could be hurt so they are lookingfor them!

I'm dreading the day a National news story happens in Bowie, Maryland, and I have to sit through a dozen national news anchors say "Bow-ie" instead of "Boo-ie" a thousand times.

There is nothing humorous here. Children have died.

Tacky behavior on this thread will be noticed by the moderators.

YOU DON'T WANT THAT!

Prediction: the shooter was a local nutjob who had some failed dealings with some Amish people, and blamed the entire community for imagined wrongs.

The insular nature of the Amish community lends itself to such irrational, collectivized hatred, much like the hatred directed against the Jews.

Actually the Amish moving en masse to a community ends up being a financial windfall for that community - they pay their taxes, but run all their schools privately, so you don't have to expand the schools, and they make basically no use of the local social services whatsoever.

A special place in Hell is reserved for those who target and kill defenseless women and children.

"All I can say is that the Amish I know are the finest, kindest, humble, honest, and caring people that I have ever met."

Big ditto to that, 1. I'm just next door in York Cty, and have met many over the years.

I so admire the discipline.

I don't know why they feel their children don't need an education past the 8th grade? I can only speculate..

Regarding Lancaster and churches, I believe it still has more churches per intersection than any city in America outside of Indianapolis, which was always supposedly #2 in that regard.

You are correct that there's every degree of Plain Church group in Lancaster county ~ and if you were a necktie salesman, you'd find somewhere else to set up shop.

Mechanization and automation installed throughout the postal service pretty much banished neckties ~ too dangerous ~ but I remember the day when Lancaster post office was the ONLY one in America where no one ever wore a tie ~ best way to get comfortable at a meeting with those guys was to take off your tie.
