Don’t fall for the “Amish” thing...

There is a small subset of people here that apparently thinks it’s damn funny every time there’s some thread of this nature and they pop-off with some reference to the Amish being on the rampage, or something equally stupid.

It was never funny, and has grown to be asinine.

They need to grow up, and get a new meme.

I think everyone here understands that the term “Amish” is used as a satiric contrast to the ghetto subculture which perpetrates these tribalistic/animalistic attacks.

May I ask if you have a problem with identifying the race of these pereps, or do you feel in some way the Amish are being insulted?

BTW, the commentary on your Personal Page is SPOT ON and elaborates a point I make here regularly, on FR.

Thanks.

Yes, I agree. The Amish reference has become very trite.

I would love to drop the Amish metaphor and use the real word that succinctly describes these predators.
