This mayor is an idiot. I've worked in a mall for a year, and the vast majority of consumers are kids ages 12-20. I don't know where the heck the kids come up with the money, but there has even been documentaries on tv about how this is the most affluent generation. You take away a teens right to go to the mall, the mall is going to be severely affected. Word of mouth is also a really good form of advertising, and if the teens aren't able to go to the mall, how are they supposed to tell their friends about the great deals going on in a store? If you are old enough to drive at 16 (don't know where Holyoke is but here driving is 16)then honestly you should be considered old enough to wander the mall premises. I think that the mall staff, although it is a good idea, will really really regret implementing this. Not only will it hinder business, but it will cause the youth to wander out into the streets. I don't know the size of that city, but honestly from the sounds...

I used to have this pitbull that was the most friendly thing in the world. He could knock me over he weighed so much more than me, but he used to come up from behind and and go straight between my legs so that i would have to pet him. It is really too bad, and I saw another guy wrote this, that some "tough guys" want to enhance their image by having brutally aggressive dogs. Just a note to all those guys out there: you're fu**ing retarded. Anyways, I support this petition. It's totally, in my opinion, nurture over nature. If the dog grew up in a loving environment, like my doggy did, then they would never hurt a fly. I think that the general public should be made aware of that, and that's why I support this petition.

Everyone needs to see the movie Waiting. You will probably never want to mouth off another waiter.
