(1) The low music. How are
you to hear with a lot of voices?
(2) No open love which was
exaggerated to start with;
(3) No noise which means you
must whisper when walking

(4) No. jaywalking which is
absolutely ridiculous; you do it
no matter where you are;
(5) Another absurd suggestion
was spitting on windows. I'm
certain the occupants of the
Youth- Centre were not that
juvenile to, spit on elderly folks'
windows.
I'll admit some of the rules
were fair to a certain extent like
the noise, loitering and use_ of.

we do not intend to accept it all.
