  wow. did you watch Amish in the City? nbsp;  Unbelievable. nbsp;  Did they purposefully find the rudest,
 most self- absorbed,  immature " city"  kids they could find?
nbsp;
 I was SO disgusted by all of them. I mean,  we are in 2004,  right?
nbsp;
 Imagine with me,  we replace the " Amish"  with inner- city black kids who also have never experienced this because they live in the projects. can you imagine the outrage that would be screamed from the rooftops.
nbsp;
 What an unbelievable showcase of prejudice!  I just found it so sad.
nbsp;
 I mean,  what an awesome opportunity that would have been to show these kids the BEST parts of our culture.
nbsp;
 It was so cute to watch them. I felt so bad for how terribly they were treated.
nbsp;
 They were just good,  honest kids that were curious about a different way of life.
nbsp;
 It shows how open they truly are and how close- minded Americans can still be.
nbsp;
 However,  I would dare say,  the producers did this on purpose.
nbsp;
 I mean,
 was there a kind hearted person in the bunch?
nbsp;
 NO ONE stood up and say,  hey,  get a grip,  these kids don't know what's going on. instead of mocking them,  let's help them.
nbsp;
 And Mose. my heart was truly bleeding for him.
nbsp;
 He was trying so hard to get these kids to accept him.
nbsp;
 It pained me but I couldn't turn it off.
nbsp; nbsp;
 It so reminded me of junior high all over again.
nbsp;
 I wanted to go smack those kids upside the head!
nbsp;
 His toys were very cool. and I felt so bad when he thought he was drowning ( which I think,  he really could have been)
nbsp;
 I have had the experience of taking someone to Lake Michigan for the first time. they had only ever been in small lakes and pools. it is VERY intimidating to someone who did not grow up in that kind of water to see these huge waves coming at you and over you.
nbsp;
 And,  let's face it,  people DO drown in oceans and lakes like that.
nbsp;
 UGH!
nbsp;
 Can you tell how outraged I was?
nbsp;
 Mose is the one that really got to me. especially when they were showing him reading his Bible and praying.
nbsp;
 I didn't realize the Amish believe if you are out of the Amish and die you go to hell. what a burden.
nbsp;
 And pretty amazing to me that he left if he really believes that.
nbsp;
 Anyway,  the end result. the Amish kids are really cool and people I would actually be friends with.
nbsp;
 The city kids. desperately need to grow up and experience the outside world.
nbsp;
 Pretty weird considering the premise,  eh?
