I'd like to bring some attention to the re-opening of "The Ox" in New
Oxford PA as a club for 15-21 year olds. I couldn't possibly be the
only rational adult around who thinks this is a BAD idea. It?s
ridiculous to mix 15-17 year olds with 19-21 year olds. Who ever
thought of this has a complete lack of sense. The disparaging levels
of age and maturity between these age groups can never positively
co-exist. No matter the methods put in place to keep them from doing
so.
I am all for giving kids a place to gather and have fun but let?s face
it - a nightclub isn't the most wholesome of establishments in the
best of circumstances.
I've been told that "they restrict the ages." Relying on people who
run a bar to police the ages of those present and in some way announce
"hey all you under 18 gotta go" is ludicrous!- I mean no one under
age has ever tried to get into a bar, right? Might be a even a bit
easier to do if they're already in the building! Can you see someone
walking around in the midst of the chaos of a busy night carding
everyone? ? That?ll happen for sure. Also based on the public record
for the owners of this establishment I laugh at them being the sole
conscience.
Nothing, I repeat NOTHING good can possibly come out of mixing
?ADULTS? with children in that type of setting. Just take a look
online at some of the comments that come out of these individuals
regarding whether the place should exist or not. They aren?t mature
enough to have a rational conversation without it degrading into name
calling (or worse)
If any of you have experience with bars you know the kind of things
that go on even in the best establishments. In today?s society we
have pedophiles showing up in the most innocent of places; do you
really want to give them a buffet and invite them in to browse?
The New Oxford city council better step in and put an end to this
BEFORE something happens. Morality and ethics aside - Let's use some
common sense people.
