Has anyone ever fancied ditching everything and going to live with the amish?

Give the middle finger to your boss, drop the iphone into the toilet, deactivate your Facebook profile and go give it all up for the simple life, who is coming?

Watched a documentary on the Amish a few months back and after seeing the amount of bullying that's go on there it would be a resounding no, although the Amish girl in orange is the new black makes me laugh

I really admire that kind of simple life.

Not Amish though as I've read / seen too much that I find intolerable.

I'd love to give up everything and go live in a cottage by the sea but I am seriously lazy and a constant procrastinator. It would never work for me. If I'd to live of the land I'd starve.

I think we'd missing swinging too much to be honest. But if you could have a good ol' barn raising that ended with an orgy then we'd be booking one way tickets to utah!

I wouldn't go Amish but I have often thought of doing a few months retreat at a monastery.

On holiday I have no phone , newspapers or tv and rent a house in the middle of nowhere and the only person I see for two weeks is Mrs P.

The only thing I would miss is booze so I'm leaning towards a retreat at Buckfast abbey.

Why not do some of it? It's easy to ditch Facebook and although you might not want to drop your iPhone in the lavatory you could turn it off.

I wouldn't want to live with the Amish though.

It's not just the lack of Facebook that makes amish a different way of life. You can't live an amish lifestyle but remain at home but with the TV off and the Internet unplugged!

Well I left Facebook years ago, nah its just a thread about whether the whole approach is appealing to anyone. In all honesty it is appealing except we wouldn't want to raise kids in that environment because, in our opinion, it would narrow their later life prospects. That's the biggest draw back as we see it.

I tried googling this and didn't come up with much. A girl called "Emma" claimed to be ex-amish and did some modelling but that's not really a pornstar. You shouldn't really call yourself a pornstar if you haven't done a 20-man DAP gangbang with midgets, ending in a bukkake.

Living a simple life is damned hard work. Most modern 'soft' people would not cope. Imagine having to get up at sunrise and milk the cows, feed all the animals and all by hand. No machinery. That is before you get breakfast too. We moan about traffic and Facebook and having to wait in a queue for coffee at Costa.

Yeah buts it's probably a heck of a lot more motivating-

Option 1 - if I don't get the harvest in then I would eat and I could die come winter

Option 2 - if I don't finish this PowerPoint presentation for the meeting tomorrow then the meeting might not even take place and people would have to do some real work

I was in a small town in the interior of Belize called Orange Walk. I was market day.

In Belize you get this amazing wash of people, ethnicities... black, Maya, white, mestizos... all kinds.

And then bang, through the middle of the lot stride these tall Aryan types, in blue denim dungarees, wide brim straw hats and check shirts.

I've spent a fair bit of time around the Amish and they're somewhat fascinating. Some of the younger ones spend some time letting loose, or living loose, outside of their normal confines, before returning to their restricted lives.

Whilst it may seem to be a simple life, like on Little House On The Prairie, they have a regimented religion dominated life, without most of our modern habits and process. They tend to be closed to outsiders and their Christian interpretation is different to ours today.

I can take the simplicity and more natural life but am not so good at having freedom curtailed. And their sexual restrictions wouldn't suit me. I've spent a lot of my life within the outback and it can be fabulous, loving the open space, the wild life and simpler pleasures and beauty. But my modern sophistication doesn't really lend me to retire to a basic life that just now and probably never. I think the compromise is to move from the rat race and metropolitan existence to somewhere where the pace is healthy you can gain a settled life, surrounded by nature and open spaces.
