Some Amish object, most don't if you stay far enough away. A LOT of Amish have cameras themselves. Most would be glad if you send them a photo of themselves.
I took a few of my neighbor and he kept asking when I would give him some.
Some would not give permission but would really want to see them.
A few would chase you off their place if you got the camera out! Amish are like others, many different ways of doing things.
So there you have it from someone who was driving a horse and buggy until he was 30!

Looks like my photo made the front cover!http://www.speakingamish.com/speaking-amish-book/

The statement that photos are 10% equipment and 90% skill is not even close. Equipment has a lot more to do with it than that.

Aw shucks, tricked again! I thought......

Was that pic taken from upstairs or downstairs?

Am I allowed to share that pic on Facebook?[/quote]

Sure,....I'm Just having a little fun with some jpgs I've found over time online,....applying a bit of humor that hopefully offends no one.
I hope I have not worn out my welcome in doing so.

My wife has to put up with it 24/7

Some very comical hedgehogers here who follow thru much better than I.
I see many comical juxtapositions and puns in day to day life and in words we all speak.
Maybe it's an early sign of dimentia????
I hope not,....If it is I'll have a delightful time there,..........................................
Otherwise am having a delightful time there now.

Maybe The Amish Mafia can regulate things a tad!

This may be off topic but I wonder if the shooter were still alive what his chances would be to last 5 years in prison. Could be have walls thick enough and enough policemen to protect him?

Lets put it this way. Should we be allowed to carry guns on a bus. I would not feel comfortable if a gun toting redneck came on a bus with a gun in his holster. Even though I agree it's not the gun but the shooter that makes the problem. A few years a ago a mom toted a gun to the school games. Was that all right? When we get in the heat of things stuff happens.

Another thing why bother with speed limits. Speed is not the problem it's the unsafe drivers that cause problems.

Our founding fathers had slaves and had the gall to say "Give me liberty or give me death"! Who's freedom were they talking about. They were rebelling about a puny little tax. Most of them were hotheads! (Kinda like us on UH!)

[quote=Jan F. Rasmussen]Certainly gangsters would get weapons any way even if all were outlawed but gangsters do not go to primary schools to shoot children for fun. Sick people who can easily get their hands on legal weapons do that. It is incomprehensible to me, that you right/freedom to have guns are more important than that. But we are not getting anywhere...

I agree!!!

Explain please?

Maybe we should go back to duels! Isn't ironic that the vice president of US had a duel in NJ where it was illegal and he was not put out of office for that!
