European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - April 8, 1988, Darmstadt, Hesse The stars and stripes Page 11 letters Landers local National just wants his fair share i a would like to reply to a recent Leuer. I am a British citizen and As such am classified is local National and do no get any special favors. First i would say thai this person has no right to complain. For a Start she can apply for a work permit and work locally to the system works both ways. Therein no bar of pauses working off base Etc tip obtaining a work permit. If we wanted to we could complain in the opposite direction. I would also like la take up the Point of being paid in Dohan and paying . Tes. This person forgets that the gels i free concessions. We the locals pay taxes for example on petrol Gas which go to pay for our roads. But enjoy a tax free system and enjoy driving around eur pc without paying for the privilege. If we go and work As Lour ii in the states we Don t gel these privileges. So before service spouses Start Yelling How unfair they Are treated they should hop and think How Lucky they Are that we Are barred from Many jobs on in bases but they arc no barred from any Job on the co Horny. Lastly i think that these people should remember that they arc guests of the country in which they live and should remember to be Good neighbors and think before they Start moaning about their Zoiti. After All have these people forgotten that they owe the local alot who clean the roads of Snow who supplies clean water who runs the sewerage Etc.? Many service which Are taken for granted we locals pay for in taxes paid in Europe. But we Don t say that the americans Send their lanes Back to the Stales so they can t have these privileges. So Tome on let s not be greedy. Let the local nationals also have a fair share and remember Man of them give Lone service not Only for a tour of duty. After All remember it is morally right to share and not morally right to be selfish Asil is put. This letter was a Strong talking Point at lunch today. I have tried to put together the general Atti tude of various people who think that this person is being selfish. If this person or any other one wants a Job they should remember that they can look for work and not expect it to look for them. The world owes them nothing. Sla. Baker farce unit Weil Germany respect for teen agers advocated i have a teen Ager. This puts me in constant Contact with other teen agers. They know what you Are Hying about them and you expect them to treat you with respect. Why should they in order to get respect you must give respect. What goes around comes around. I adults Are our future leaders. They Are that you Are leaching them is prejudice. Hing them to put certain people in groups Alabet on them. Most of you Haven t taken the time to get to know them. Instead of blaming them for everything and Pul Ling them Down All the time try talking to them and gelling to know them As individuals. Listen to the when they talk id you. You might even make a Friend. Give them a break instead of grief. They have a lot of problems and pressures put on hem from society adults and their Peers. I have heard we of you ask what problems can they have that Are so bad. Their problems Are very real and some of the things they Tell me would just Tea your heart out. If their problems Aren t real then Why it the rate of teen age suicide so High it n hard going from adolescence to adulthood. Are we so old we can l remember what in was Tike i have done thy share of Yelling at them when they do something wrong and i have never been treated disrespectfully by any of them. They know i care about them because when they come to me with their prob lems i listen and try to help them when they Are accused unjustly i apologize to them. Why is it when an adult is accused of something they did t do and we defend ourselves in is called standing up for our rights Bui when teen agers Are accused of something they did t do and they try to defend Ibe selves they Are called rude disruptive and disrespectful so the next time you want to put the blame on a teen Ager make sure that is where the blame should go. Don t put it there because he or she is stat a teen Ager remember kids arc people too and they deserve to be treated fairly.
