: You said it yourself. You're just a kid, so do you really think that you should be working for McDonalds? Do you think that people your age should be expected to handle the pressure and commitment of a job which can cause so much stress? I know that I wasn't and looking back on my experience I don't feel that children so young should have so much expected of them.

I agree with the respondent. I've always wondered why those in the most need financially: young people, the disenfranchised, the poor, should be forced to work for the lowest wages at the most miserable, repetitive and dangerous of jobs simply so some wise guy can make his life more comfortable. I guess it's all part and parcel of a capital driven society (world).

We need to impress on young people that to boycott such employers would serve to shut them down--boycotting them both by witholding their dollars and their employment.

Shut down a McDonald's and save the world!
