I pledge allegence to the flag of the united states of america and to the republic for which it stands one nation under God indivisible with liberty and JUSTICE FOR ALL? They say each man has equal oppertunity but only after passing a certain age requirement yes you do the job well and you have the skills but we want experience, and age is our thrill We don't care if your better qualified because of your age your chance is nulified. Don't you know this is a job for the old your so young you'll never do as you're told If you do get the posistion we'll reject you and use your age as a weapon formed against you We don't believe you can do it even though you did well just say well put it this way those facts are hid To young to do any right not old enough to put up a fight so just get out of my sight. Blasephamy the words you speak are a lie you never give me even the chance to try I prove my point time and time again but I always loose you won't let me win. This isn't equal oppertunity at all your bound and determined to watch me fall I'm young, and I don't dress or talk like you as I matter of fact I don't like what you do I'm sorry I'm not your age but I work as just as hard still the same. SO give me a chance to prove I can do it |

Well done here! Wow....i liked this one. Great message here. Yes, the young people are rejected in certain things but so are old people, like SEA said. So i guess yer only cool when yer in the happy medium eh? Oh well.....who knows..maybe WE will be rejecting the younger people some day. I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. |

your theme is really great, but the flow was a little shaky. At times, it read more like prose. However, your message is truly wonderful. I hope a lot of people read this! "so when at times the mob is swayed to carry praise or blame too far, we may choose something like a star" --Frost |

naw. I wouldn't put quotations around that part. I agree with what you are saying. I once tried to get a job at 17 and even though I possessed my A.A. degree, the only places willing to take me were fast food. argh. but I also would say that many teenagers act irresponsibly and are deserving of close scrutiny by potential employers. dr. jo-bizz But His word was in my heart |

by not putting it into quotation...you are plagiarizing someone else's work...and that is against PiP guidelines.......read them |
