      Not sure how true it is, but from what I've heard, it's less about electricity and technology itself, and more about not interrupting their way of life? Like using computer to do calculations is perfectly fine since it doesn't change things in any fundamental way (also, apparently they're pretty big on solar power and such, so... )

      Amish and Mennonites are actually not the same .... they all belong to the Anabaptists; however, most of the Anabaptist groups would get quite insulted if anyone said that they were branches of each other.
      Some different groups are the Old order Amish, New order Amish, Mennonites, German Baptists, Beachy, Beachy Amish(yes there is a difference), Schwartzendruber Amish, Charity(or so they used to be called... they changed their name), and many others.
      Mennonites are the ones I am the most familiar with. Everything depends on the location of the church because rules vary by congregation. Rules can be as strict as "Dresses must be hemmed at 9 inches from the floor" (Yes that is a real rule ...... I don't know why), and "Men are not allowed to wear shirts with print of any kind". Some rules make no sense and are only accepted because they were passed down from previous generations.
      All Anabaptist groups can tell each other apart by observing the slight differences in the way the women dress. Colors and designs of coverings and dress patterns vary by which group the members belong to. Even the slightest difference in detail would identify someone as a part of a different group.

    So, most of my living relatives are Amish. A couple years ago I was visited by 3 of my cousins during rumspringa. I showed this video to them and they thought it was the funniest thing they have ever seen. They made me buy them a "How am I driving" bumper sticker the next day and when they went home they stuck it on my great uncles buggy. I got a letter from them a few months later. Great uncle John thought that was the funniest thing. Don't think for a second that the Amish don't have a sense of humor. Admire the amish for faithfully sticking to their beliefs. Very few of us do. Had lots of fun that week. Love you, Jacob, Isaiah and John.

      Where I live is mostly farmland, small town. Down the road we have several Amish families and they come over sometimes to bring us pies and other foods in exchange for stuff like sugar and stuff we just buy from the store. I told them that a comedian made a song about them and most were open-minded about it. We’re friends I’d say. I give them rides to the store (would take hours on their buggy), they give us homemade goods and food. They pray for my parents (cancer) and my dad blows their driveway in the winter. Good relationship.
      Years ago I showed them this to get their opinion on it. Simple really. Most laughed, acknowledging their own hard work and we talked about sacrifices they make for the sake of their religion. A lot of Amish people are no different than you and I, they just don’t want to use technology and their faith demands a “Spartan” (barebones) lifestyle. No frills, no fluff. Most don’t even use rubber on their wooden wheels or plows, they deem it unnecessary lol

Al honestly thought his people talked to Coolio's people, because Al's people came to him and said Coolio's people said it was OK. Coolio didn't even know about the song until it came out, and he was a bit peeved. When Al heard, he apologized profusely, and got Coolio's blessing.
