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

If Jesus visited SFOT, do you suppose this oh-so-righteous girl would petition Him to stop turning water from the water fountains into wine?

If she was raised an atheist and had heartburn w/ SF promoting a "religous atmosphere"

Why does she care? She isn't even old enough to drink. Wait till she's a teenager when she starts trying to get her older siblings, cousins, and/or friends to buy her beer!

Why don't she get a petition against something that is REALLY annoying, like those basketballs! There is nothing more aggravating than 12-year olds running down crowded midways bouncing those things not watching where they are going.

Now THAT is offensive! ;)

You don't see me signing a petition to oust the Jonas Brothers, so keep the 12 year olds out of the beer debate as well.

I've never seen so many people get so angry at a 12-year old.

See what alcohol has done to you all! You're mean drunks. ;)

No, I'm a happy drunk.

The problem is that I'm sober right now. ;)

CoasterqueenTRN is so right! Please get rid of those basketballs! And while we are at it how about shoes with those stupid roller skates on them!

I am not much of a drinker, but really do not care if other people do. I have never really seen any major problems at parks that security could not handle.

Same here. I rarely drink, except for A beer w/ dinner at the end of the week. As for drunks, security can deal with them.

Well .. This girl in the article would have had a hay-day if she were at Busch Gardens Eurpoe last weekend. Gentleman got escorted out of the Festhaus/park, full of liquid courage. Then proceeded to kick the windows out of the police car.

Im sure that would have been tried to leverage her cause I guess. But personally I've seen sober kids act more out of line than plastered adults.

I suppose its skewed perspective or parental motivation for her anti alcohol actions.

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.

Amen to that. The less teenage zombies stumbling around theme parks in a text message-induced fog, the better.

This is pathetic. Shame on an adult for pushing a kid to support their agenda.

^LMAO! I couldn't agree with you more! ;)

Well, it's a kid, people can be chastised for "not supporting a cute little girl"

Exactly why I referenced the "Harbucks" South Park episode...this is NOT on a child's agenda.... ;)
