Yes, but they get to choose and we don't.

Yes, you do. You could convert and belong to a church with those beliefs. You could homeschool instead of complaining about school rules, but you CHOOSE to send your kids to public school. You could be exempt from social security taxes if you were part of a religious community that cares for their own and doesn't draw social security to care for their elderly, but you CHOOSE not to belong to a church. What - you are jealous of their "special privileges" but not willing to live the life they live to get them.

First you have to act all indignant and claim your rights are being trampled on.

I have family that fought in that terrible act of Northern Aggression. (and yes I said that in my best southern drawl) So since they were on the losing side, I guess we don't deserve any of anything.

But you just said ALL Amish do this. Not ALL do.
The only thing all Amish have in common is not wanting the government involved in their lives. That is what makes them Amish! Otherwise they would be something else!

That is NOT the basis of their religion.

Why does it matter? The rest of us PAY taxes that supposedly are part of the entitlement benefits. If they eschew them and haven't paid in and their sons don't have to lay down their lives on the battlefield, why should even one of them get it?
Really? Because it isn't a ****ing law that you must have a son lay down his life to get benefits. That may well be the most illogical thing you've ever written on this board!

Seriously. Really, Gaga - why hasn't your son joined the military? Or is he on the way to Afghanistan as you post?

No conscientious objector is required to serve in the military. NONE - Amish or not.

These people own property right next to mine. No, they are not leaving. In facts, they are coming in in droves. That's why we are making it clear that they are not welcome.

They OWN property - therefore they pay property taxes, just like everyone else. And the roads are PUBLIC roads - not everyone that uses them pays your "wheel taxes" - so that's just an excuse for hate - and a petty one.

It seems to me that some of you don't really have a problem with what is being said as much as who is saying it.

She followed it up immediately with another post saying, no - that she didn't hate all Amish, she hated all animal abusers - but I see most people are just ignoring that. Par for the course.

Tire chain usage is permitted for hazardous weather or other related incidents only, but may not damage the highway surface.

Well, actually, since the win of the civil war, the federal government has been slowly taking more and more power, which is what the south feared. But, you are correct that it has become egregious most recently.

That's state, not county. They are not permitted on my county roads. Totally different than county roads...

Buggy wheels weren't traveling on paved surfaces centuries ago. Chains and buggy wheels damage paved roads.

But buggy wheels are not. And buggy wheels don't have tire chains.

And they are not illegal when needed.
