Letter Writer: Teens Are Ugly Opium Eaters
 |
Did you guys read the current issue of the Northeast Times yet? If you didn't, you missed this letter, possibly the best one the paper has ever printed. (And it is really a tough contest.)
Sick and tired of the teens in Fox ChaseI am writing in response to Miss Sondra Lorino’s letter last week (Memo to bike-seat thief: You’re a coward). Frankly, I think it is utterly ridiculous that these hoodlums stole an innocent girl’s bike seat. I myself am sick and tired of the teenagers in this neighborhood. Last week I was walking my beloved Boston terrier Otto though the path at Burholme Park, when he cut his paw open on a broken beer bottle left by ignorant teens. It’s bad enough they’re hurting the neighborhood, but now small children and animals? Luckily my dog was OK, but who’s going to pay the vet bill? Maybe next time instead of buying a case of Zima or whatever they’re drinking these days, they can reimburse me for Otto’s left paw.
I also noticed Ms. Lorino’s concern about the recreation center. This too makes me very angry. It’s a recreation center meant for the youth, but it’s filled with teenagers and drugs. It’s beginning to remind me of an opium den in Taiwan. It’s occupied with ugly-looking teens and little kids using playground equipment. Does this make any sense? You tell me!
Who’s here to stop all these? Fox Chase Town Watch? Where are they? We would be better off having a blind version of the A-Team minus Face and Mr. T. Sure, I do see them patrolling, and they do help out a lot, but we need more. We need to reinforce the curfew laws. I see kids no older than 14 running around the neighborhood at 4 in the morning all souped up on God-knows-what. They’re out there throwing pennies and apples at people. Also I see the young girls walking around drunk with grown men. Where are the parents? Remember, the world revolves around action and responsibility.
Ahh, yes, the ol' "blind version of the A-Team minus Face and Mr. T" reference. And I think it's silly this letter writer doesn't get why the young girls are walking around with grown men: As he proved in his previous paragraph, teenagers nowadays are ugly. Plus grown men can get something better than Zima, which not even teenagers drink anymore.
With apologies to Vogt Playground, which isn't even in Fox Chase. Eh.

Speaking as a proud resident of Fox Chase, I agree that this must be a joke. But it also has to be a joke by someone who doesn't live here. There is way too much sarcasm to be by someone from the northeast, because as I like to say, the Northeast is impervious to sarcasm.

I read this article and i would like to say that there are MANY young girls walking around with older guys. Mainly fifteen year old girls are very easy. They are not like the fifteen year old girls that i grew up with. So why fight so hard to get a twenty one year old in bed, when all you have to do is give a fifteen year old girl a beer and they will.

Actually, I don't think the letter-writer is taking the mickey at all. Trash, beer bottles, cans, and general loitering are all becoming problems in the neighborhood. The trash/littering is really a nuisance, especially around the park and the surrounding blocks. I'm sick and tired of picking up beer cans on the island in front of my house because people are too lazy, ignorant, or any other number of adjectives I could use.
I suppose the loitering isn't new because that's always been going on over the Rec Center, now its also occurring at the Wawa, Burholme Park (all the corners of it), 7-11, and a few other places.

Oh, yeah, to note: This letter has to be someone playing a joke. I don't know if it's the ugly teenagers or the blind A-Team reference that sells it, but I'm pretty sure this letter is faker than a CHiPS marathon without Erik Estrada.
