Twelve-year-old girl has anti-beer petition for Six Flags Over Texas

Because this is totally something a kid would come up with all by themselves. They're totally qualified to draw conclusions about alcohol on their own.

When you can't find a reasonable, legitimate argument, find a kid. Then you can claim your stance is "for the children" and make anyone who is against you SEEM like they are evil.

Why am I reminded of the "Harbucks" episode of South Park? Oh, that's right....Juggalotus hit it pretty much out of the park.

I like beer in amusement parks, and I drown puppies, too.

"If people want to drink, they can go somewhere else and do it, but not somewhere where it's about family," Campbell said.

Since when is it up to the customer to determine the target audience for a business? Isn't it up to the business to decide whom it would like to target with their product?

About a year ago, a class of 3rd graders wrote a series of letters to the park telling them not to sell alcohol. One of them wrote "I dont want drunk people throwing up on me on the rides"

I just cant find the article now.

Good luck, Kid.

I remember a similar petition when the Cleveland MetroParks Zoo started serving beer. It failed.

Come on, though. They sell beer and wine at Chuck E' Cheeses and sadly, I've many a parent stagger out of their with kids in tow. Do the MGR's care, nope. Do the workers care, nope.

This entire argument just seems like a complete waste of time, especially from a political standpoint. I believe there are many more things a city should be concerned about, yet they contemplate whether a business should or should not sell alcohol.

Might as well not sell food at the theme park anymore either because I don't want hot dog chunks landing on me either...I'm much more concerned about puking up the last meal than I am about someone puking who could not hold their liquor.

It's no more an interesting discussion now than it was then.

I am going to start a petition demanding that Six Flags stop selling pop, and candy to kids. Seeing obese kids waddling around offends me.

Diverging very slightly from the thread, I recall a few years ago that the only acceptable ID for alcohol at Cedar Point was a state ID or drivers license - which no international visitors are ever likely to have. I wonder if that's still the case.

Someone get this girl a beer bong rip.

I'm all for anything that will reduce the number of 12-year olds in a park. If it means selling beer, bring it on.

I thought I was having a serious case of deja vu.

I'll drink to that, RatherGoodBear.

Dear Six Flags Over Texas,

I don't like it when my daddy drinks. He gets mean and he hits me with things. After that, he dances funny outside. He is old and I think he is going to get hurt.

Please don't sell beer.

Give her a few years when it becomes "cool"

Naw, it's just double vision from all the drinking.

Here's how it might go down.

Legislature looks at petition to appear that they care, maybe makes a statement

SFoT keeps sellin' the suds

Hate to sound cynical, but I guess I am. Hey, I'm not a beer fan, but do I care that my local SF sells it? Nope. Never seen a problem, either.
