You there! Think about ninjas. Then think about Amish people. What's the first thought that comes to mind? ...Ninjas are advanced Amish people?! OMFG YEAH TOTALLY! Your typical Amish person wears all black (or other solid basic colors), turns her nose up to modern technology like cars and phones, and fight crime religiously (i.e., the devil!)! Your typical ninja? Wears black (or other solid basic colors), also refuses to keep up with the times, and fights crime (i.e., kick your BUTT!)! Ninjas and Amish people choose to isolate themselves from the rest of the world as much as they can and refuse to modernize themselves for anyone else in order to preserve their identities (or because they've figured out a better way to get around). Amish people use horse and buggies, and ninjas move at supersonic speed. They also form small groups of close-knit communities, because compared to the world population as a whole, there aren't a whole lot of them, and the way they live might be too extreme for some people or unattainable for others. Some people struggling to become full-fledged ninjas discover that they can't breathe through their hood-mask. Tourists regularly flood Amish towns to gawk at the lack of Playstations. Amish regularly abide by their Bible and overcome the devil and devilish things. Ninjas regularly are sent out on missions to save cats from trees and defeat men in suspenders. However, Amish people are just like you and me, in the sense that they can't disappear in a small poof and travel roof-to-roof easily or twist their bodies into strange, painful shapes to ward off enemies. Actually, maybe some people can do that last one. But all ninjas definitely can, and SO MUCH MORE! Ninjas can instantly transform themselves into a woman! Or a man! Or a rock! The possibilities are limitless. They can also walk up the side of trees and conjure gigantic slugs. They are infinitely cool, and I don't care what you say. They have even transformed normal boring turtles into awesome asskicking ones that answer to a rat! SEE THE MIRACLES THEY HAVE PRODUCED?! In this way, ninjas are advanced Amish. They have the Amish basics - isolation, one-color wardrobes, lack of technology, er...crimefighting. But ninjas take it to the next level. They are like acrobats. Somehow, they've managed to push themselves past the limit and accomplish astonishing things. Ninjas have gained abilities the majority of us will never have. They are flourishing in movies and comics.
