What a funny chapter. I felt so bad for these kids because they didn't have a clue about dating. When the guys had the kool aid and cookies, they had a perfect chance to talk to some ladies...but what did they do- nothing. Maybe they were just thirsty, but they still coulda tried to make small talk. Eric compared them to guys at a seventh grade dance. I remember how that was in seventh grade, so i can only imagine that it was even more weird with these 18 year olds. That is pretty sad, the teens are mature in every aspect..except sex stuff. Maybe if they went to a local high school they would be exposed to sex ed.
I liked the idea of Rumspringa. It's a good opportunity for the kids to go out in the world and see what things are really like. It is unfair to raise them in a shell their entire lives without be exposed to the way things really are. They need to be exposed to other factors outside of lala land. For example, if terrorist decided to blow up USA, they wouldnt care about the Amish community either. So my point is, the Amish should be aware of world event and that their are bad people out there that want to hurt America. I think the Amish might be a little stupid, they might think that just because they live in a small community and mind their own business, they will be safe--but that is just plain incorrect.
The last funny thing i saw was the part about selling drugs in Lancaster. Can you imagine that? An Amish guy with a long beard on a buggie going up to a corner and saying "Hey bro, Are you holding? Let me get a half-eighth." Hahaha. I never would have suspected that some Amish citizens had a nose like a hoover vacuum. Now that's something you don't see everyday.

Like i said last chapter, Amish kids are similar to kids from terrorist families....all BRAIN WASHED!
They really don't have much clue of what's going on outside of their close knit community, and how can they - without electricty they don't have TV or radio, or cars to travel to other places. That's pretty sad i think, although it seems they are just happy to be living the way they are.
Yea, they are brainwashed. Everyone in the community believes the same things and teaches their kids those beliefs. They have no idea what reality is, only what they are told.
