Vaping, wow!

I'm using smoking to quit vaping. Just kidding, I never vaped.

I have dealt with various Menonites quite extensively. And look forward to dealing with them in the future. But, they will never be your friend, and will often display a "them" and everyone else attitude. I don't think I have ever seem them smoke a cigarette, but Colt 45s, yes please!

I have yet to ever meet a rude Mennonite person, or Amish person for that matter.

They do tend to be shy, or introspect

Oh, they love you when you buy stuff from them! lol

There are plenty of good ones mixed in. I think we will be OK. We have some super awesome young adults in our family, but they don't make national news.

Oh no doubt they aren't all bad..

And I like buying stuff from them, they made quality stuff. I just bought two leather rifle slings, amish made in Ohio, they are the best quality you can buy and they cost less than the junk at Walmart..

Here, the Menonites don't have Power from the Grid, use Horse and buggy for personal transportation (not business) and have a cell phone in each y can be yhand. And, they can be very rude and inconsiderate.

You can say that about any subsection of the population.

Very true. Southerners go on and on how rude we "yankees" are, I don't see any region as any more or less hospitable than anyone else. Unfamiliar customs can give the wrong impression.

Curiously, how do groups like the Mennonites or Amish decide what modern technology to embrace and what to scorn? Doesn't always seem like there's a pattern.

This generation doesn't do things the way we do, but that doesn't make them wrong. I know that in the past 40 years we've done a pretty good job of mucking things up yet still seemed to survive.

Yeah. I have to remind myself when some group of millennials start going on how their ways are so superior to everyone who came before them that our parents/grandparents probably thought the same of us. No matter what generation we're part of.
Every generation makes its mark, for better or worse (and usually a combination of the 2).

Everyone recognizes "southern hospitality"...you never hear anyone say "yankee hospitality"...

I think in a recent survey, Indiana was ranked #6, above many southern states.
If I can find it I will post it, its been several weeks ago when I read it.

It was not surprising the states that were the worst
