This has nothing to do with their religion, or beliefs, or any crap like that. I intentionally said I don't disrespect the Amish, but I take issue with them that makes it hard for me to respect what they're doing.

I'm talking about the underlying issue of an entire culture intentionally limiting their own growth and learning, as a whole, and what that means in the big picture- as it relates to denying our very nature of adapting to change, and learning.
