Did I not ask for forgiveness for the vast generalization?  Did I not make it 
plain that I was aware that I had made a generalization?  You have 
successfully proved exactly the point I was trying to reach about maturity 
level.  As far as the name calling in your previous response to me, you once 
again prove why I don't hire under age, too young to respond in a mature way.  

Ten years of experience speak to me when I do my hiring, and trust me, I have 
hired under 21, which in my state is a pain in the ass because I also have to 
have someone on who is over 21 and working with the underager in order to 
adhere to my states laws.  As a bar owner and manager, this cuts into the 
bottom line therefore making it unnacceptable.  I have to pay two people for a 
position that is intended for one.  Sorry, can't justify it.

If the laws were diffrent, then my hiring prctices would be diffrent. 

I'm sorry if my post has aggrivated you, that was not my intention.  Your 
response was immature and aggressive however, so I can't really give you much 
credit as a professional in the industry.  Talk to me when you own your own 
place and are doing the books and the hiring.
