Amish teens going wild ...ruining our society

[GLOBALIST]

(NEWSER) – Cops in Holmes County, Ohio, took the rum out of a lot of Rumspringas over the weekend with a huge raid on a party packed with Amish teens. Police say around 75 people were arrested for underage drinking after the raid on a field party Saturday night, the Daily Record reports. The sheriff's department in Holmes County, which has the country's largest Amish community, says 45 officers raided the party after an undercover officer observed the underage drinking, WOIO reports.

Police say there had been calls from worried parents about the party, which had been expected to attract around 1,000 young people marking the Rumspringa rite of passage, in which Amish teens are given more freedom than usual. The AP reports that 35 people under 18 were among those arrested for underage consumption of alcohol, and some were also charged with resisting arrest. There were two alcohol-related hospitalizations. (In upstate New York, there was a low-speed chase when cops spotted an Amish teen drinking beer while driving a buggy.)

Compare this to shooting folks on the street
How many teens nationwide drink at their proms?

Yet again does the Village Idiot respond to his own post:

"Have you guys noticed the psychotic obsession
a couple of posters have in responding to their
own posts if they can't get you to bite
at their gems.

"There is obviously a loose screw with
both of them. Annoying gnats or fruit flies."

- from the very mouth of the Village Idiot himself
(12/3/2015)

...and, of course, as regards to this repeated action by the Village Idiot
again and again responding to his very own Village Idiot post:

"...the definition of mental illness is repeating and repeating the same
actions and expecting a different outcome." - The Village Idiot (12/1/2015)

<Gasp> and the really bad thing is that the Amish don't integrate into the
community except for a few bad actors!!!!

The Amish are our most cherished people. Would you pay for the funeral
of a man who shot and killed your little kids? Would you stand by his
wife at his funeral and show your sympathy and let her know she was in no way
responsible.
That response stunned the whole world. They are CHRISTians with a
capital "C".
Though pacifists, during WWII they raised food like mad for
the rest of Americans. They took jobs outside their community
that men , who were drafted, had to leave behind.
I think it is a wise move to "give" their teens a season
to raise holy hell and for the kids to make mature decision to stay
or leave. Those kids worked their asses off being responsible
community members before adulthood.

Anybody that knows the Amish can say honestly that they have the strongest of work ethics, and they do not compete with others for jobs.

Well, while as you - bflanier - indicate, the Village Idiot may well have
never integrated, he the Village Idiot has in the past...and indeed still
does to this very day...differentiate. And that when you think about it
makes much sense because as any math/engineering/science student knows, the
problems of integration are much, much more difficult than are those of
differentiation.

<grin> I can personally vouch for that. Integral Calc was my downfall.
I still beat myself up over my failure to master that evil system of math.
Much like Globy, I just don't get it.

It was quite a revelation to me when I learned much too late that
determinants had a use other than to bedevil students and rule of Sarrus
I always thought had to do with one of those early Egyptian guys who
was instrumental in building a pyramid or a line of fine china made
from Mississippi mud. <sob>

[islander]

I always enjoyed mathematics, but my first exposure to integral calculus
was in a college honors class (back then calculus was not taught in high
school). The notion of epsilons and deltas was completely foreign to me
and I had an irrational suspicion of any mathematical formula containing
Greek letters ever since.

When I got the epsilon/delta concept it was like a eureka moment!

My master's thesis was a tour-de-force of pages and pages of partial
differential equations. I'm still pretty proud of that!

[rumpelstiltskin]

It's too bad the Egyptians left Mississippi and then their
empire fell, so that no European or Arabic people got back
to Mississippi for another 3,000 years.

[rumpelstiltskin]

That's witchcraft - you're lucky you didn't live in Salem
in the early 17th century!

Well, truth be told, integration is tough because to integrate properly, you
have to understand all those other folks and carefully make sure that they
understand you. Long ingrained and cherished beliefs are up for grabs on
both sides....a most difficult and challenging process.

Differentiation, especially as practiced by a number of folks here (eg, the
Village Idiot and the Old Fool), is a whole lot simpler and basically
consists of determining whether the beliefs of others are different from
yours. And once such determination is made, the job of differentiation is
done except to comment...as is done by all those folks here...on such
differentiation that was found.

For me, mathematics was something that I could count on. As a young
person who was otherwise insecure, I found something that would not
change. For me, dealing with an otherwise uncertain world which might
end in the Rapture any day now, I needed the confidence and certainty of
mathematics.

[rumpelstiltskin]

I was in Electrical Engineering, but I grabbed every literature
elective I could get my hands on, because those were easy "A"s
for me. It's because of the literature electives that I graduated
fourth in a class that started out with 400, because I sure had
no aptitude for or interest in engineering. I only took that
course because it seemed a good background for getting good
jobs. It did do that, though I never ever worked as an engineer.
I'd had more than enough of engineering forever by the time I
finished college. I admire people who are good at it though.

[islander]

For me, the liberal arts classes were the most difficult. In graduate
school at American University, I had to take a required course in
American Government. There were 11 books that were required reading,
most of which were uninteresting to me. Fortunately for me, no one,
including the professor, took the course very seriously and I accepted a
gentleman's C.

[rumpelstiltskin]

American Government isn't "literature". I'd find that
boring too.

[islander]

Yes, it is not literature. In my undergraduate days we were required to
take one quarter of classical literature. Faced with a classroom of
fledgling engineers, the professor did his best to make it interesting.
I felt sorry for him because he taught this course every quarter, each
time to an unappreciative audience.

I was impressed by his closing comment at the last lecture. He said
something to the effect, "You may not have enjoyed this class, but I
have one request. Keep reading! I don't care if you are only reading
comic books. Your interest in literature will increase with time and
eventually you may remember the books that we studied here. You will
re-read them and more as well. I predict that you will ultimately enjoy
reading."

At least as far as I am concerned, he was right.

Do you remember the Unibomber, Ted Kazinski? The Wikipedia entry for
him has some very interesting information. He was a true math prodigy
and could 'see' mathematical relationships without any effort.
Unfortunately our society doesn't treat people who are 'different' at
all well so he was subjected to some horrendous treatment by the
psychologists, especially at Princeton. His brother now regrets
informing the government of his suspicions.

I think that Einstein was fortunate to have been raised in Europe where
there was a respect for learning. I remember while Einstein was at
Princeton Americans seemed to think that he was a nut case because he
wore shoes with no socks. He was lucky he was so well established
before he came to the US that criticisms like this made no impression on
him if he was even aware of them.
