At Last, the Amish Apologize for the Holocaust - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

Did you read the article you posted? They're apologizing for not speaking out during the Holocaust.

**Narcodran** · 06-30-2011, 03:32 PM

Did they claim to be more guilty?

Are you seriously saying Haitian fishermen are guilty for not speaking out? What about Brazilian forest tribesmen that still haven't made contact with civlization?

Is somehow every single human alive at that time and all their descendants carrying some kind of moral burden for something they didn't have anything to do with?

**pKgGpUlF** · 06-30-2011, 03:44 PM

No.

Edit: cross post but works wonders for both questions

Sorry, amished this thread the first time around...

Amish tracing their roots back to Germanic heritage (in fact most still speak a dialect thereof), likely feel a connection to things that happened back in Germany moreso than other groups. Thus the apology for silence makes some semblance of sense.

Haitian fishermen.

Hera, your point is moot, they didn't tell others they should apologize, they just decided they would. It's a bit weird but nothing to see there, move on.

To me it seemed like they where saying: "Oh look at us we're so moral and pure and cry for every tree and river soiled by polution and every abused child! We're better than you."

How dare they be so compassionate and Christ-like!

It makes me want to punch them or something. Makes the rest of the world look bad.

So if Brits commited atrocities against the Boer, Americans should feel guilty?

I don't know the wierd part is why did they choose to apologize for this somewhat to them connected injustice rather than say some of the other examples in the OP?

It seemed WTF. Also I don't know much about Amish (we don't have any in Europe) except that they shun some modern technology, do you have any other wierd news stories about them?

They have great orgies with lots of cocaine.

The article says Amish from Switzerland.

They are mostly concentrated in Lancaster County, PA, not far from Philly, though.

Would a lobotomy make Hera smarter?
