I think some people should spend a week or two with the Amish to reset themselves mentally. Just to take a break from modernity. Don’t get me wrong, technological advancements are good, but we need to stop back from them every now and then just to remember that we are animals.

Is this really sometihng one can do, in relation to the Amish? I find their culture interesting and the thought of volunteering has come across my mind.

Just fyi, the Amish certainly aren't OK with gay people (don't know if you are or not), and their culture is extremely paternalistic and misogynistic. Not surprisingly, they also have quite the problem with sexual abuse. Don't let the homespun, we're-just-simple-folk facade fool you.

Thanks for the information. It did cross my mind if they were ok with gay people.
