Think she is gonna be a nice chick anymore? Not sure if she ever was never watched the show.
------------------------------------------------------------------


Now that she's posed for Maxim, Kate Stoltzfus's life is one step closer to being exactly like a music video from an '80s hair band. ("Fallen Angel" by Poison, maybe?)

For those who have abstained, "Breaking Amish" debuted on TLC last September and followed four twenty-something Amish folk (plus one Mennonite to mix things up) as they explored a more complicated lifestyle in New York City. It's basically Rumspringa for almost-grown-ups.

Fans of the show know the Lancaster, Pennsylvania, native very well by now after watching her bat her eyelashes through the Big Apple. Last season's peak: The wallflower hit up the Museum of Sex and summoned her inner strength to pose in a bikini.

Kate has officially graduated to the big time, puckering plump red lips for Maxim in shorts that Miley Cyrus would like and a skimpy top that screams, "Don't look at me." The 22-year-old doesn't just give good attitude; girlfriend also gives good quote.

I just read that. Your title was the first thought that came to my head when I read it.

Lol that she looks like peggy from mad men without makeup.

I wonder how Amish feel about their daughters dreaming about being a model. The most unproductive and useless aspiration ever, especially for a family driven farming culture. Hamsterbation.

Notice how the women want to be americanized forever, whereas the men want to return and 'marry an amish girl,' Lol thats coming to an end if you dont buckle down the women.

The Amish are really interesting. I read an interview with one that said people could join the Amish, it wasn't that hard, but that people who had grown up with electricity had a really hard time living that way.

It is not an indefinitely sustainable lifestyle, they are too isolated breeeding-wise and suffer from genetic problems called founder effects, which also affects Jews.

The Amish are really fucked up anyway. You're not gonna use tractors or lightbulbs. Really? Amish must mean masochism in their culture.

[Gmac]

Show is fabricated.

Modern western culture is women's playground.

From consumer materialism (shoes! make-up! clothes!), to social networking and smart-phones, to the girls-can-do-anything-but-still-don't-have-to-be-accountable-for-their-actions zeigeist.

Once an Amish girl has a taste of the dopamine-infused forbidden fruit that is shopping, attention-whoring, and forgoing responsibility and accountability, she's not going to want to go back.

"They say you can't turn a bad girl good /
But once a good girl's goin bad, she's gone forever /
I'll mourn forever"

On the flip side, very quickly upon entrance into mainstream culture the Amish guys start getting laughed at by even 5s and 6s, and they're all like:

I've been reading a fair amount of recent studies that show that cancer, autism, and heart disease practically don't exist in Amish settlements.

Is it cause they dont really vaccinate? Eat all organically grown food? Live pretty active lifestyles? Grow up without smartphones and the internet?

They also have the lowest reported levels of depression and anxiety in the United States.

They may lack some conditions, but they make up for it elsewhere. I grew up in an area with a large Amish population. Used to wonder why so many wore these thick ass eye glasses. Turns out that due to their small communities, and the high likelihood of cousin marriage, certain issues that are hereditary get amplified. A lot of them were wearing glasses because they had really fucked up vision from this inherited condition.

When I was in high school there was a retarded amish kid in the special education program.

As for not vaccinating, guess again. Some do, some don’t. No autism? Guess again. It exists. Only eat hipster approved food? Guess again. Not every Amish works a plow all day. I’ve seen them stop at McDonald’s and eating chips from 7-11.

As for not using smart phones. GUESS AGAIN. They may not own one, but they can borrow your iPhone enter the passcode, and access the phone no problem. Seen it firsthand.

As for lower levels of anxiety and depression, they have it, but it manifests itself differently. Americans are unique because a total stranger is quite comfortable telling you about the size and quality of the morning’s bowel movement. A lot of other people aren’t so open.

Everytime i travel on Greyhound or Amtrak, i see atleast one Amish couple. Seems like they are superstitious of airplanes.

By the way, Tai Lopez lived with Daniel Stoltzfus in the late 90s. All the people who accuse him of lying abouthis wealth completely ignore the fact he lived with the Amish and adapted to the culture (his mentor Joel Salatin ran a farm and is a millionaire himself)

[Rotten]

The TV show is scripted and fake. You can read up on the real backstory of the individuals on the show.

The Amish shop at Walmart just like everybody else in rural areas. Their horse and buggies have their own special parking spots. At Walmart and at other places they are subjected to the same amount of piped in plz as everybody else. So, the Amish are well aware of American cultural lowlights like Kardashians.

TLC is cancer

Lancaster, Pennsylvania seems to be ground zero for the Amish. I've always joked to my buddies that the industrial Great Lakes portion of the Midwest & neighboring rustbelt (ie. Chicago / Milwaukee / Detroit / Cleveland / Pittsburgh) is mainly separated from the Northeast Megalopolis (NYC / Philly / DC / Boston) because of the hilly Amish paradise in the middle of Pennsylvania where time stood still.

If you think I still idealize the Amish. . . .Guess again.

You know what it takes to satisfy one of these Amish women? Three Mennonite.

Aloha!
