Don't you mean "associate"?

Duh, porridge oats.

Sorry. I've got Borg on the mind. I tried to make this image with a Dalek with Borg bits stuck on and it didn't really work but... I'm rambling, aren't I? I'll edit that.

I think of moma sittin on the porch, sippin some tea, watchin us kids play in the corn feilds.

Considering that the Quakers were rejected from Puritan society, I don’t see how you could associate them with witch-burnings. As far as I’m aware, the Quakers are one of the few religious organizations in the world that was not overly evangelical. I’m fairly certain they believed in finding God your own way or something else groovy like that. Plus, many were great abolitionists, and Quaker households were common safe houses on the Underground Railroad. Good people those Quakers.

I was thinking more along the lines of Witch of Blackbird Pond. AKA, the Quakers get burnt.

Oh, ok good, well not for the Quakers.

Oatmeal eating pacifists. :)

Actually, I think of worthless anti-fighting wimps, and Levi Coffin.

Cheese, lunch meats and wine.

I think of the Strogg.

Even though this is probably one of those "Lets see how stupid people are" threads, Im gonna have to say oatmeal.

Only ONE pick? :(
There's at least three that apply!!!!

Farmers with decorative hexagrams on their barns.

Oatmeal was the first thing that I saw something Quaker on, so that would be my choice. Nonetheless, I'm fully aware of what the hell a Quaker is.

Dunkards

Cereal, and Granola bars.

I think of Richard M Nixon.

They turfed him, though. Score one for the Quakers.

TBH

Richard Nixon (that's been said, but that's what I think of)

Oh ... and oats .... for some reason oats.


Also, I think of the only Christians I would actually associate with.

mmm...oatmeal

Chilled out, decent, radicalish dudes.

Quakers - my kind of religious loonies.

Diarrhea for some odd (and sickening) reason.

Oatmeal FTW!!!

Pacifism and the industrial revolution.

Oatmeal, of course. They have to do something while not at war.

Too much reading. Is the links about a Quaker Warrior?

If so, kick ass. I love him/her and want to shake his/her hand.

Crazy PRODS!

Pacificists, oil, and oatmeal. In that order.

quakers were often associated with wichery by those f#cking religouse zelots!

Oatmeal, and squirt guns. When I was little, I remember someone telling me quaker kids weren't allowed to have them, because they promoted violence. :p No idea if that's true or not, it sounds a bit silly to me.

The Oatmeal.

Some, undoubtedly. The organization is pretty loose, and most beliefs are allowed to be individual. While pacifism is one of the few unified beliefs, the squirt gun bit isn't something that all of us are going to agree on, although we do try to not do things that promote violence in any way. Still... that is a bit much... squirt guns are more for a water game than a war game, seriously

Oats. Doh. With Mr. William Dead Penn a close second.
