At what point do you decide to tell people that they are being exploited even if they claim not to be. Or should we ask under what conditions can you be exploited? What role in the “exploitation” do you have to have to be exploited?

Whatever, I am a reality TV junkie, but even I consider this to be exploitative of the Amish. Green Acres meets The Odd Couple meets My Favorite Martian meets The 5 intelligent people of Cleveland.

    They do have that period of time in which they are allowed to explore the world and determine whether or not they wish to remain Amish.

    I’m surprised that their Ordnung would allow this sort of thing.
