Calli, that almost brought a tear. I remember taking my Margie to the vet for the last time — she was 18, blind, deaf, and incontinent after two years of hormone treatment that initially stopped the problem but gradually lost ground. My then wife bought her on spur of the moment whim in Macy’s as a puppy — a golden, big-eared american cocker spaniel (think Lady and the Tramp).
She was a wonderful dog and endured all sorts of indignities when my son was a toddler, including having a handful of dry spaghetti jammed up her dot when she eating her dinner. She didn’t maul him, though she’d have been in her right to do so. A wonderful, gentle, trusting dog. I’m going to have to reach for the tissues if I go on.

That youtube interview of the social psychology prof Arky put up last week was certainly enlightening. Mass formation, objects of anxiety, people living anxious and meaningless lives, isolated, hypnotized by regularly listening to a leader speaking on radio/tv, and so on. Wouldn’t it be interesting to learn if our ‘leaders’ deliberately exploited behavioural/social psychology techniques in order to manipulate the public and achieve compliance. If you’re about Limbrick/Quilty, these are questions worth asking in the Parliament.

It’s a lesson modern Labor, dominated by middle class urbanites, appears to have forgotten, or never learned.
From the party of the rural and industrial working class to the party of urban middle class office workers in under 100 years.

No words.
I can’t remember the exact piece, but there’s something doing the rounds about the British government doing just that via an executive appointment.
A conversation with my pastor centred on that topic too, as we discussed ways to serve the church community. We are dealing with traumatised people, and pretending that Christians are somehow immune doesn’t help. This stuff has leaked into all parts of society.
If that is true, then he and his government has to be the worst this country has ever seen.

Palmer got into politics in a fit of pique. He felt insulted and injured, and it was a way of fighting back. And damn, what a motley barnyard of misfits he delivered. Whether his ideas have developed vary far since then, and what they have developed into is less clear, but he has attracted some people who have something to say.
Trump was not stung into action by any resentment. He was successful and well known with his TV show. He was already riding high, as we have seen, the Democrats have been unable to find anything self-serving to pin on him. He actually seems to have been inspired by a love of America.
If UAP makes significant inroads in the coming election I would hope party members are able to restrain any impetuousness by Fat Bastard if it arises.

the long incubation (up to 14 days) is a worry. spreads easily, seems mildly airborne. If it were me I would nuke wuhan labs with the hammer of thor now before the ccp feel threatened enough to release more pandemics.
I am buying into the theory this virus was released to allow take over of hong kong, this was released at the wuhan military games, made to look like an accident, but failed to ignite back in the US.
I expect take over of taiwan will be supported by another release. The clock is ticking, no better time than an incompetent white house.

Timothy at 9.14. Just read your comment and I hope you have read mine above.
I acted in good faith examining something ridiculous that you put up some time ago where commenters were confusing two sets of data placed side by side for contrast.
There is such a lot of very bad information being abstracted from studies where people have little understanding of what is being said. This was one of them. The 82% hysterical reaction by that ‘oncologist’ to what was obviously a reporting issue was another. Glad she’s not my oncologist.
I am not responsible for the commenting that is abstracted by anti-vaxxers, nor for referencing the particular data confusion linked earlier on by you.
Go and give Arky his tick and get banned those people who have any corrective commentary to the rather hysterical anti-vaxxing that we see here. I am on record as saying the vaxxes are not perfect and everyone has the right to their own decision, with no mandatory apartheid; but poor abstraction of data to reach ridiculous ‘beclowning’ conclusions in no way real-world supported should be called out.
Being abused for doing so? Well, par for the course I suppose.
I have a lot of other things I’ve promised Hairy I will do today.
I will do those instead of stay here to receive more of the same till you have settled down.

Leaving aside the question of why anyone would want to drink grapefruit juice when yummier alternatives are available, it jogged my memory about the warning label on my blood pressure meds. Do not consume grapefruit while taking these.

Good news about UAP and RD merging. Monica and Craig will complement each other and hopefully keep Palmer in check.

The people who have avoided the vaccine are mostly men and mostly of strong character.
And their 80% jabbed score is complete bullshit.
They’d be lucky to have fifty percent anywhere.
And of those, and this is the main point, only about twenty percent wanted to take the vaccine.
The large number of vaccinated didn’t want it.
They aren’t anti vaxxed but just cowardly nonentities.
However, even cowardly non entities get the shits when they start realising they are going to die sooner from being jabbed.
It doesn’t matter how thick an Australian is, they’ll be able to work out the unvaccinated didn’t force them to take it.

Body language analysis of pelosi meeting the pope (4 minutes).

The only people I think are even moderately entitled to criticise vaxxed Sydneysiders coming out of months of lockdown are other Sydneysiders.

Ghostbusters: Afterlife review – a slimy, stinking corpse of a sequel
Jason Reitman takes over his father’s franchise and immediately tanks it with a tonally misjudged blend of pandering fan service and bizarrely played-straight spectacle
Every time another anti-spectral doohickey first appeared on screen, it was met with orgasmic roars of excitement from the audience. Same goes for the awestruck glimpses of the old car, the old costumes, some of the old dialogue, and the rest of the myriad nods to Ivan Reitman’s canonized blockbuster.
Giving people what they like is popular, film at 11…
…
At the box office, this underhanded tack may very well pay dividends. This is for the fans, after all,
Hates them we do, gollum, gollum, the fans with their love of a series…
…
It’s pandering all the way down, the shocking part being the variety of Reitman’s ploys. It’s not all groaners like a cop offering a jailed-for-the-night Trevor the phone and asking, “Who you gonna call?” There’s the set piece with cutesy, nattering mini-Stay-Pufts scratching the itch for cloying mischief-makers planted by the Minions.
How dare they like THINGS!!!!
…
Consider the casual cowardice of a script that uses its own mythology to subtly erase 2016’s all-gals reboot from the canon, giving the rage-choked trolls carpet-bombing IMDb with zero-star ratings the vindication they’ve always craved.
Hahahaha, cry more bitch fembot, the whole review is an obvious “the wrong people like this and must be punished”
..
There’s a disturbing sense of ownership over the past in Reitman’s continuity-building, as if he’s the heir apparent entrusted with sacred texts rather than a guy running roughshod over the memory of a movie still a staple of middle-school sleepovers for its laugh quotient.
You know what was lacking in either of the reviews for the new Bond film or lady ghostbusters,?
Either of those 2 criticisms…
I hope this make squillions and spawns a successful franchise, just to see the reviewer drown in their own bile.
Also, i really, really hope the critical drinker does one where he compares it to lady ghostbusters…

What they did is totally confuse the study population (the denominator) with the contrast population (the other column) and then tried to fit the data for the former into the results for the latter. Hence it gave the figure that at 2.58pm today you were so happy to tout – that 115 miscarriages occured among the 147 women you believed were vaxxed in their first or second trimester. Patently ridiculous.
The authors used an 827 study sample of women vaxxed while pregnant for their preliminary results. [Again apologies for my error saying “847”] 700 of them were vaxxed in the third trimester. 115 pregnancies among the 827 failed in the first 20 weeks.
115 was not the critics’ figure – the authors themselves used 115/827 to assess vaxx risk for pregnancy failure in the first 20 weeks, and said that that was a fairly normal percentage.
Get that? The authors said that 115 pregnancies failed within 20 weeks among their 827 sample. Not the critics, the authors.
Oh, by the way, did I mention that 115 was the authors’ figure, not the critics’?
The critics then pointed out that the 700 couldn’t be used to assess the risk of the vaxx causing pregnancy failure within 20 weeks, because the 700 hadn’t been vaxxed till well after 20 weeks.
The authors agreed.
It was a simple matter of whether the correct analysis on the preliminary results should be done as 115/827 (the basis of the authors’ first effort – though they did split the 115 into groups of different types of pregnancy failure) or 115/127 (the critics’ claim, with which the authors have now agreed – though they note that their updated data brings the percentage back down).
Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to explain, on the basis of the authors’ own numbers (827 sample, 700 3rd trimester vaxxed, 115 failed pregnancies within 20 weeks among the 827 sample), how the critics got to 115/127 if the critics’ numbers included figures for the “contrast population” (or “demographic population” as you referred to it in a previous comment, or any other way you wish to describe it).
To paraphrase, you think the minority here should bend to the will of the majority, as measured by the uptick poll?
When the government wants to dork you up the squeekhole, we recommend the sweet nothings they whisper in your ear.
Vaccine passports in NSW effect every other state as it sets a precedent that will be followed elsewhere and it creates an impression in the public that they are fait accompli and thus something a fool would only resist. And its very likely the reason why the media here in Oz has run dead on Southwest Airlines and Jacksonville mandate protests and now Texas ban on vaccine mandates; they cannot show people resisting.

And if I could say something about a two class society and ‘principles’ that could equally to those that have been denied the right to earn a living, a most fundamental right, I think, against those who suffered no such impediment, who now carrying on like two bob watches because someone, not them, can’t get a haircut or buy a beer in a pub for perhaps six weeks.

DC Comics reveals latest Superman as bisexual in new issue
The Man of Steel will be in a same-sex relationship while combatting the climate crisis and protesting against the deportation of refugees
The news follows other recent attempts to add queerness to the world of comics. In August, it was announced that the latest version of Robin would have a boyfriend while in March, Marvel also made the decision to pass the mantle of Captain America to a gay character.
But the big-screen worlds of Marvel and DC remain less progressive. Tessa Thompson’s character in Thor: Ragnarok was only revealed as bisexual in a tweet while Deadpool’s sexual fluidity has yet to be fully explored. This November’s Eternals is set to change things with the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s first LGBTQ+ kiss between Brian Tyree Henry’s Phastos, the first openly gay superhero in a Marvel movie, and Haaz Sleiman, who plays his husband.

Vaccine passports facilitate both the denial of earning a living and of entering the market place and both are equally important. Being refused entry into public spaces; that is, effectively being made an outcast is terrible.

Events in the USA since 2016 suggest this is true. Physical attacks, race war and a perverted election.
I wasn’t thinking of how much the vaccine passport was operating to deny people the right to work in NSW Dover, as the focus in the msm had been shopping getting a haircut etc.
But you are right they are also a denial of the right to work, though my point about lockdowns also being a denial of the right to work remains.
I remain very hopeful that Dominic Perrottet will put an end to them sooner rather than later.

Here, I’ll give you a hand. What you want to do is walk it back – pretend you never did it – and instead claim something else. I dunno, what about “All of the vaccinated people were clearly the sickest people to start with”? It’s a really good one, because neither of us can possibly go back and check that sort of thing, but only one of us is dishonest enough to not allow that to bother their position.

https://www.dailywire.com/news/loudoun-county-schools-tried-to-conceal-sexual-assault-against-daughter-in-bathroom-father-says
On June 22, Scott Smith was arrested at a Loudoun County, Virginia school board meeting, a meeting that was ultimately deemed an “unlawful assembly” after many attendees vocally opposed a policy on transgender students.
What people did not know is that, weeks prior, on May 28, Smith says, a boy, allegedly wearing a skirt, entered a girls’ bathroom at nearby Stone Bridge High School, where he sexually assaulted Smith’s ninth-grade daughter.
Juvenile records are sealed, but Scott’s attorney, Elizabeth Lancaster told The Daily Wire that a boy was charged with two counts of forcible sodomy, one count of anal sodomy, and one count of forcible fellatio, related to an incident that day at that school.
As a result of the viral video showing his arrest, Smith became the poster child for what the National School Boards Association has since suggested could be a form of “domestic terrorism”: a white blue-collar male who showed up to harangue obscure public servants on his local school board.

The researchers say in footnotes they are taking the 104 on a denominator of 827, but they also make a number of provisos. You claim they admit later their tabulations are not clear on the matter and you will note that they offer above no population contrast, simply ‘not applicable’. However, in the first tabular piece you linked to some time ago (not on this or a recent thread) a figure was produced in that cell, showing a similar population incidence as in the study population, so perhaps your first piece linked was one that expressed their final statement, where there was little difference between the study population and the expected demographic outcome in general concerning spontaneous abortion. Regardless, the table of contrasts for the sample population vs the demographic population in the piece you originally linked (which may have been the researcher’s final conclusions) did then try to make numeric analyses by miscontsruing the meaning of the two population data sets.

For instance, as I’ve seen on the Cat recently, taking a figure like 600 deaths in the post-vaxx population as being entirely due to the vaxxes in Australia, which rather denies all other causes of death operating as per normal. Yes, there is a lamentable death rate with vaxxes, and a level of morbidity also unacceptable under normal circumstances, but it is not a stratospheric death rate and it is a whole order of magnitude different to the Covid deaths under epidemic conditions in particular age ranges, morbidities and in conditions such as pregnancy.

Makes the government look quite odious. Without the least exertion and without even an acknowledgment of the currents of feeling swirling around they blithely issue a fine.
They do not have to stir from their desks, they do not have to defend their case. They were never in danger of having their own incomes impacted as public servants were spared the rigours of paying their own way.
They issue a fine, and if the money does not front up and the victim grovel in apology the newly exposed thuggishness of the police and grinding millstones of government lawyers will be brought to bear on a couple of individual citizens.
They are like a leech growing fat off the lifeblood of its host while complaining, disapproving, and making demands as to how the host manages to keep that blood flowing.

This is from fuckity fuck women’s weekly so:
Prince Charles has taken a bold stance against climate change and urged world leaders like Scott Morrison to do the same with a “last chance” statement.
His message comes just weeks ahead of the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) which is set to begin on Sunday 31st October in Glasgow, Scotland.
It will run until Friday 12th November, with guests including U.S. president Joe Biden, U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, and the Pope, as well as The Queen, Prince Charles, Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge.
But during an interview with the BBC, Prince Charles was told that Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison remained on the fence about attending, sparking a bold response from Charles.
“Is that what he says?” the future king asked climate editor Justin Rowlatt.
When asked what the Prince of Wales would say to leaders about why they should attend the conference, Charles emphasised that this meeting is a “last chance saloon”.
He went on to explain that if change doesn’t happen now, it will be “almost impossible to catch up”.
“It is already beginning to be catastrophic, because nothing in nature can survive the stress that is created by these extremes of weather,” Charles said.
When pressed about his advice to the Australian government with regards to their inaction on climate change, the prince gave a measured reply.
This is a hill to die on; this and the other inbred, dumb as turds elites who are going to kill the rest of us, intentionally or otherwise.
Of course!
Are we..outlaws?
Utlaga… the unvaccinated?
outlaw (n.) Old English utlaga “one put outside the law” (and thereby deprived of its benefits and protections), from a Scandinavian source such as Old Norse utlagi (n.) “outlaw,” from utlagr (adj.) “outlawed, banished,” from ut “out” (see out (adv.)) + *lagu, plural of lag “law” (see law). Formerly it was lawful for anyone to kill such a person. [G]if he man to deaðe gefylle, beo he þonne utlah [“Laws of Edward & Guthrum,” c.924] Meaning “disorderly person living in defiant violation of the law, one living a lawless life” is recorded by 1880. As an adjective, from Old English. outlaw (v.) Old English utlagian “to banish, proscribe, declare an outlaw; to deprive (someone) of the benefits and protections of the law,” from utlaga “an outlaw” (see outlaw (n.)). Related: Outlawed; outlawing.

The idiot commentators in the particular piece you linked to some time ago (ooh lookit the way their figures don’t add up, they were saying) tried to assess the vaxx population by reference to the figures for the demographic population. In my book that is ‘toting up the two columns’, trying to make the one relate to the other as part of the study population, which of course it is not. What they did is totally confuse the study population (the denominator) with the contrast population (the other column) and then tried to fit the data for the former into the results for the latter. Hence it gave the figure that at 2.58pm today you were so happy to tout – that 115 miscarriages occured among the 147 women you believed were vaxxed in their first or second trimester. Patently ridiculous.

…..[note it’s my fault that “847” instead of “827” crept in]
Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to explain, on the basis of the authors’ own numbers (827 sample, 700 3rd trimester vaxxed, 115 failed pregnancies within 20 weeks among the 827 sample), how the critics got to 115/127 if the critics’ numbers included figures for the “contrast population” (or “demographic population” as you referred to it in a previous comment, or any other way you wish to describe it).
Elizabeth (Lizzie) Bearesays:
October 12, 2021 at 12:42 pm
[Read it yourselves if you want to.
English translation: Lizzie has absolutely no possibility of even beginning an explanation of how the critics could have got to their numbers if they’d confused the study population with the “contrast population”. So she posts great slabs of text, reasserts that the critics had got those things confused without even attempting to explain how that fits the critics’ actual numbers that she derides, and then does a flounce.]

Alright. Since you asked nicely.
He went on to explain that if change doesn’t happen now, it will be “almost impossible to catch up”.
I think that if you check back, you will find that Not-so-Bonny Prince Charlie has told us about our “last chance” at least once before, several years ago. Perhaps he hopes that no-one remembers. Or advancing senility has ensured that he doesn’t.
The Spectator, May 2017:
Each year, this column has the melancholy duty of reminding the public of the Prince of Wales’s prediction, made in Brazil in March 2009, that there were only 100 months left to prevent ‘irretrievable climate collapse’. Those 100 months will have elapsed at the end of next month, so it looks as if we are all doomed.

I should have noted what a colossal logic fail this is.
The whole point of the study was to determine whether vaxxing pregnant women created any extraordinary risk.
If extraordinary numbers are going to be dismissed as “patently ridiculous” why bother doing the study at all?
The authors now say that the final data is very different to the “preliminary” data and that there’s no evidence of an extraordinary risk,. So be it. But they themselves admitted that their critics were right that 827 was the wrong denominator for the preliminary study.
Speaking with the full authority and expertise of someone who did some statistics lessons as part of Darkie Harris’ third form maths class in 1975, I suspect that the whole premise behind the preliminary study was flawed. The total sample group was births notified between 14 December and 28 February, and the preliminary study was of the 827 pregnancies “completed” by around April. So any failed pregnancy was automatically in, while the authors’ own methodology seems to have excluded from their sample women from the total sample group whose pregnancy hadn’t yet reached normal term but hadn’t had a failed pregnancy.
But note that’s the opposite of Lizzie’s bullshit. She’s asserting that the error was by the critics, and that it consisted of bringing “control” population in to the equation, not excluding them from it.
I had to look that up. You’re not wrong, Dot.
Disgusting propaganda.

In spite of there being no requirement to wear a mask in the open air I’d say 99% of people on the mean streets of Griffith are still doing so.

Eight tablets.
I wonder if what we are seeing is a power struggle between Dom Perrottet ’96 and the bureacracy (ie Cherry Kant and The Commish).

Is “Kryptonite” a euphemism for AIDS?
We can only hope. He needs to annihilate both of them. Properly. None of this popping back up out of the coffin stuff.
Thought it was obvious; but OK.
The cohort of 38 vaxxed sick suffered 5 deaths (rate = ~13%) and 8 serious cases (rate = ~21%).
Applying these rates to the cohort of 4 unvaxxed sick would give about 0.5 deaths and 0.8 seriously ill. So, with such a tiny sample, no statistical surprise to see zero and zero.
And no need for “All of the vaccinated people were clearly the sickest people to start with”.
No, don’t thank me.
In spite of there being no requirement to wear a mask in the open air I’d say 99% of people on the mean streets of Griffith are still doing so.
Wow!
I think it’s going the opposite way in Melbourne.
Outdoor mask compliance is still high, but by no means total, in the main shopping strips, but I’d estimate it at less than 50% in parks.
Maybe it’s lockdown fatigue here.
Dom doesn’t look like the annihilating type to me.
(I’d be happy for him to prove me wrong though.)
And it was nice of the NSW PC to give him a pass on a fine for drinking a beer while standing at the bar yesterday.
I have noticed when the various directors, secretaries, deputies, deputy directors, deputy secretaries etc etc that are hauled into senate hearings are quizzed about the DOJ memo to the FBI about being ready to clamp down on uppity parents that these directors, secretaries etc etc explain that it is their duty to respond to cases where schoolboard members are threatened and intimidated. We live in a democracy and such behaviour cannot be accepted.
There have been no cases of any parents threatening anyone or intimidating them – certainly when asked for this the deputirectoraries etc can cite none.
We are talking about school board meetings at town level. The parents in these towns are being told that if they step out of line (as defined by the schoolboards) that the federal DOJ and FBI will tumble down upon them. This at the instigation of the schoolboards that don’t want any opposition to their indoctrinating children.
Who precisely is being threatened, and intimidated?
POS.
A jab is a vote for a covid passport.
Enough votes and in comes the passport.

They rip us off. Those are three things that we feel like we’re fighting against all the time. Well, those three things are all part of what Covid is.

Interesting article, Pogria.
Good on them.
I’ve been to Lancaster and stayed there a few days. And yes, I’ve been to Intercourse. 😀 They really do not live completely separately – they have a phone booth for emergencies and electricity for some activities, mostly associated with farming. And they mix with the “English” when shopping and just getting around. The horses are ex-racehorses and the buggies are fibreglass.
What is really important is that people don’t stray too far from home. So, if disease hits, it’s going to be concentrated in the community and easily spread. What they’ve proved is that if you’re fit and healthy, Covid won’t do much harm. Like the rest of America, there are some real chubsters there, but by and large, most are lean.
I’m not surprised that they’ve achieved herd immunity for Alpha. It would be interesting to see what that means for subsequent strains and even more interesting will be if the “scientific” community is prepared to turn their backs on their stupid models and learn anything themselves.
One of the things that people feel pleased about in the modern world is the extended childhood.
A couple of centuries ago kids were expected to go out and help earn at quite a young age.
Enlightened us consider this a reprehensible thing, and can scarce think other than those parents of yore were somehow malicious. We demand that children be able to reach ages near their 20th before deeming that they should take on adult responsibilities.
Sounds nice, yeah?
And yet, we now burden them with responsibility for the whole freaking planet, for all people, all life of all species, of all time. Moreover they are not considered to have been born in innocence, but they are guilty by dint of their very birth.
Children once worked on the farm from a young age but at least it was under the instruction and supervision of people parents. Even ignoring parental love there was the fact that an injured kid could contribute nothing that would have them calibrate what they get the kid to do. The family mattered back then.
Now it is all about heaping causes, issues and guilt upon them by their teachers. These teachers are not responsible for bringing up the child. At the end of the year the conveyor belt slips along and the kid goes to the next year. The teacher does not have to pay for the psychologist, help them sleep at night, or explain to them that it is OK for them to go on a holiday instead of worrying about seas washing over their houses and bones bleaching in barren deserts. They don’t have to tell the kids that they are not bad just because they are boys, or that the kid who hand-made Valentine’s card for their daughter is not a ropist in waiting.
The ones who actually love the kids are being sidelined. All is being given to the teachers and the teachers unions. But they don’t give a rat’s for kids. Their eyes are focused elsewhere, beyond their charges, where all their causes converge into a utopian mirage. To them children are just a translucent blur that they are looking though.
Those kids who used to help Mum with the washing or Dad with feeding the pigs were in paradise compared to the purgatory kids are born into today.
Outsourced parenting is the biggest problem. Next is the worship of “career” over life and living it thoroughly.

Calli, many years ago my partner and I were involved in competing with Heavy Horses. One of the goals of practically everyone with a draughty was to own a set of Amish made harness for their horses.
We were all so envious when someone would come back from the States with a full set of the Amish harness. I would kill for one of their fuel stoves. The waiting list for them is over eighteen months. Don’t know if they export them. Wonderful craftsmen.
Mother Lode, I have your last locked and loaded. Come up with a title and it’s done.
So I see NSW is still mass imprisoning people without trial unless they get a medical procedure they don’t want.
As predicted months ago (and this is getting boring at this point) what we’re seeing is people who took the vaccine are overwhelmingly ok with that, quietly (or not) making stupid excuses and downplaying the tyranny of it to salve their consciences, or worse simply completely absent from pushing back against the absolute atrocity of it in a way they promised they would not be.
Very few exceptions.
Oh and they mostly all went out and immediately got their license to be in public too. Welcome new world order of now needing a government license to be off your property.
Accepting the vaccine, partaking in that mandatory social ritual mentally obliterates opposition to any of this. It’s what you see daily, it’s why the establishment class are pushing it so hard on everyone at any cost. The physical act of capitulation collapses the mental resistance of a person resisting being controlled and changed. This has been known in every coercive society and cult literally since Eden. There is always a ritual and the mob always says you must join in. And worse, once people have done it, even the most reluctant become urgers, sometimes the most sinister of all as they subconsciously quietly work to get everyone to join them in their permanently conflicted, compromised-inner-self prison.
Nevermind, old civilisation….it was good knowing you, we will never meet again.
The Amish did have a tremendous business making quality furniture too. Naturally the techniques used were the old, tried and true ones and the furniture lasted.
The ones I spoke to were highly pragmatic – modern materials would be used if they achieved practical results eg. animal glues exchanged for better, modern ones. Same with sewn items – many had electric sewing machines but were still a dab hand with the treadle.
The most fun thing they had were the glider scooters for the ladies. Pump tyres. No pushbikes – they would take them too far from home. But a scooter could take them only so far, so that was okay.

Thanks Graeme.
You made an assumption about me over at DashCat. Never assume.
While I have never been to the States or met any “live” Amish ;), I have read they are a very practical people. Although they eschew modern conveniences and energy in the home, they have no problem with using electricity or gas in their workshops on the outskirts of the community.
I agree with them that it does not clash with their beliefs that they utilise the kind of tools and labour saving energy which makes their work easier and enables them to produce more in a shorter amount of time. They need to earn money quite apart from their farming activities. They stick to their simple way of life in their homes. That is the most important thing to them after God. Family is everything.
..
No, I think 2stix is correct. Making the decision itself alters most people’s attitudes to the accompanying surveilence.
It’s like having a $50 Bunnings voucher when normally you wouldn’t go anywhere near that shit shop.
Suddenly, having some pimply 17 year old want to look in your shit before you’re “allowed” to leave the store seems reasonable. “I have to check your receipt”. “You just watched me go through the registers and pay for all this useless shit”.
Piss off Graeme.
Their big problem is “shunning”. They allow their children free choice about remaining Amish, even letting them go off for a year or so to sample life among the “English”.
If the child chooses life outside the community, they are cut off. Completely.
The other thing is language. It’s a German dialect that is no longer “alive” outside the Amish community. To belong, you have to speak it and it’s very difficult to learn. I asked them about this because I wondered if someone fell in love with an Amish and wanted to marry, how they would be absorbed into their world. Not likely was the reply.
Making assumptions again. I’m not “most people”.
Then again, neither was Joan of Arc! 😀

It’s why I said “alters most people’s attitudes” instead of “alters people’s attitudes.

2) They have to go through it all again, just 20 years later. Must be a generational thing, and the metastatic-cancerous-zombie-like quality of commo-socialism.
