removed territory from title
|
| Dec 10, 2014 at 19:51 | comment | added | Szabolcs | The use of the word "territory" seems strange and out of place here. From the dictionary "an area of land under the jurisdiction of a ruler or state". It would imply that there's Amish law with Amish police to enforce it in that area and at least for me it brings the unpleasant association of the term "hostile territory". It just leaves a bad taste. | |
| Dec 10, 2014 at 18:36 | comment | added | Jaydles | @easymoden00b, I rolled back to my version as a placeholder. Feel free to change it to something that better captures what you were going for, but that doesn't paint anyone as fundamentalist or presume any negative behavior from the group. | |

| Dec 10, 2014 at 15:29 | comment | added | Jaydles | @easymoden00b, okay, I can respect that! But I need to ask you to reword it, then. Your current words can be read as offensive. I assume that's not your intent, so can you please re-phrase in a way that doesn't use "fundamentalists," and doesn't seem to presume a likelihood of openly hostile behavior by a group? | |

| Dec 10, 2014 at 12:17 | comment | added | Bob Jarvis - Слава Україні | My wife grew up in Geauga county in Ohio, which is one of the largest Amish settlement areas in the US. We drive up, around, and through there frequently. The Amish don't "own" the area. They're landowners, and many farm, but not all do - but it's not like it's a reservation with special borders and "no cars allowed" signs or anything. They have their beliefs and lead their lives, same as anyone else. When you're in an Amish area watch out for buggies and folks walking on the side of the road. Some areas have a special "buggy lane", which is really just an extra-wide shoulder on the road. | |
| Dec 10, 2014 at 11:36 | comment | added | JoErNanO♦ | -1 For the last paragraph. Why would you end your post with a borderline-prejudiced opinion-based comment which adds nothing useful to the question? | |

| Dec 9, 2014 at 22:11 | comment | added | choster | Please do some basic research before asking, particularly when dealing with minority groups. The Amish religion is anabaptist, not fundamentalist, and in any case fundamentalism does not always imply xenophobia. | |
