And it seems to be a "Big Deal" to you 'lovey' as you joined this forum just to post about it. Thats what all your posts are about. But yeah, a 17 yr old, that explains alot, so I too bid you good nite and good luck.

Ya, 17 yr olds tend to be full of it. My kids are older than you.

The job I had required middle school children or younger. But I don't think that really "helps explain it all," this is more or less a 17-year-olds argument. I feel a bit dirty myself, talking about such a childish thing-but then I think to myself, "well, I'm 17..." I'm sorry if people dislike you, but you all have to get over it. It's not like Wisconsinites are raiding your villages and raping your children-some may just dislike you and in my opinion with good reason.

Don't do that stupid winking thing either, being 17 doesn't make me in any way foolish-I did not say my age to excuse what I say, but really to belittle you. Not that that would prove much, you belittle yourself enough as it is. I suppose in the end, you'll all think what you want and nothing I, nor anyone else, could say will make a difference. I think if the shoe were on the other foot, and if I were part of a group notorious for trashing your state, you'd understand the predicament, but that's not the case.

You badgered me over a generalization because you didn't have a defense for the actions of tourists largely from you state. I guess it was silly to assume you would be rational and realize it didn't mean all of Illinois, only the people visiting, but I guess I was wrong. I know you'd like to believe it's just because I'm a silly 17-year-old, or whatever you want to believe, but the big deal to me is the tourists and what they do in my town-not that you're all upset. I could care less that you're upset, but you should know why people from Wisconsin may not be jumping up and down when tourists from your state stop by.

So why don't I stop by in whatever assorted towns you live in, Peoria, Springfield-what have you, and throw trash on your lawns. And ********* miss, I'm not full of it-I'm just honest. I find it funny that you're all disregarding my statements because of my age-when really I'm not that much behind all of you as far as education and in some ways as far as experience. I am a high school graduate-will be attending a university in the fall and as far as life experience-well, I guess you'd have to take my word for it, but I doubt any of you would have the decency to do that.

Thanks for calling me miss. It just seems like an unfair conversation to me, since you are younger than my youngest kid. She is 20. We can revisit this topic when you are a little older.

What about the Wisconsonian/frequent tourist to Chicago, Jeffrey Dahmer? Such a nice guy. He would have loved you. 17, young, dumb and full of...

I bid you adieux also.
