Anime Pocket Reviews!! Ep.12 – Toradora, No Game No Life, Nisekoi
June 16, 2016 · by TAYLOR	· in Anime.	·
Episode 12 is here!!
We're getting very close to the magic thirty mark in terms of shows watched. When that comes we'll have a 30 Anime Review, to see if any of the second fifteen shows can take some of the awards off the previous fifteen from 15 Anime Review!
If you haven't seen the results of our 15 Anime Review awards yet – including Most Stereotypical, Best Drawn and Best Anime – then click here.
For now we have quite a light set of shows to share with you. That doesn't mean there's not a few classics, though.
Nisekoi (2014, S1, 20x23mins)
Teen Romance, Romantic Comedy
"From here on, I'm going to make sure you don't forget me!"
Nisekoi follows high school student Raku Ichijo (centre), the son of a yakuza gang leader but, other than that, a normal kid. Raku has a crush on shy classmate Kosaki Onodera (middle-right), who – unknown to him – also has a crush on him. When it looks like they're just about to click into place Chitoge Kirisaki (middle-left) transfers into their school from America. Kirisaki is the daughter of a rival gang, and to stop a gang war from breaking out Ichijo and her are forced by their parents to fake a relationship, putting a major spanner in both of their personal and love lives. The awkward situation is made worse by the fact that the two of them despise each other. Meanwhile, Onodera is forced to watch Raku and Chitoge's 'relationship' from afar, until her best friend Miyamoto forces her to take action. Also, Ichijo keeps a lock pendant around his neck, with links to a promise of love and marriage made ten years ago with a mysterious girl who he can't remember.
As you can probably imagine, this is a very sweet story of teen love-triangles and the general awkwardness that comes with cross-gender relationships at that age. The characters are very believable, and their relationships and feelings feel very true, and are probably very relatable for almost everyone. It has to be noted that while the emotions feel very real, the story and many awkward scenarios that they find themselves in are extremely forced and not very believable. I don't often notice things like that, but in this show the plot writing is almost as childish as the characters themselves. Also, a lot of the episodes follow a similar pattern just in a different setting (the beach, the fun fair, a field trip etc.), so if you're not into the characters or story it will become quite repetitive. For a lot of shows that would make it an automatic no-go, but the outcomes from these scenarios are usually quite funny, and the emotions (there's a lot of inner dialogue in Nisekoi) are so sweet that you can look past it. Also, Nisekoi probably has some of the best cliff-hangers that I've seen in anime so far. Or maybe I was just too into it…
While the romance and sweetness of the show is the foundations for Nisekoi, there is a solid comedy side to balance it out. This is thanks to, in the most part, constant changes the style of drawing for comedic purposes. As with the rest of the show, the 'normal' drawings in the show are also very sweet. They almost remind me of the original Snoopy/Charlie Brown show, with big eyes and round, cute faces.
Overall, this is a classically sweet teen romance that could have been too sweet but has enough comedic value to balance it out. You're probably thinking after this review that this show sounds fun, but would be way too sweet for me. It's true that you probably have to have some sort of interest in teen rom-coms to be able to watch this, and it's definitely a show aimed at a younger audience, but Nisekoi most definitely has enough childish comedy value to give you an excuse to watch something so cute. Nisekoi is one of those shows that I found myself constantly saying "this is so dumb," while grinning from ear to ear about their foolish feelings towards each other. This is definitely a guilty pleasure viewing, but is a very entertaining viewing nonetheless.
If you liked this you'll love: Say "I Love You" – another romance set in high school, full of all that teenage angst. A slight change in story, where the 'Onodera' character gets the hottest guy in school by accident, and has to deal with all the pressures that come with dating the apple of most girl's eye. While Nisekoi is funny and childish about teen love and friendship, SILY takes a more honest, and perhaps a more sophisticated approach to the issue.
No Game No Life (2014, S1, 12x24mins)
Fantasy, Comedy, Adventure
"When it comes to war and killing, we have far more expertise than you do."
The story follows Sora and his younger stepsister Shiro (bottom-centre), who are collectively known in the internet gaming world as Blank (" ") and are renowned for having never lost any game they play. The two of them are, in the real world, completely isolated and shut themselves out from normal society (this is known in Japan as hikikomori – people who refuse to leave their homes). One day they are challenged online to a game of chess, and win. As a result of their success they're summoned to the fantasy world of Disboard by the player they beat – the god of games, Tet (top-right). The world of Disboard has completely banned violence, with games the only way allowed to settle any disputes, ranging from simple requests to seizing control of countries. The games are chosen by the party being challenged, and can range from rock-paper-scissors to really complex challenges. They arrive in the land of humans, Elkia, and become friends with Stephanie Dola (top-left), the granddaughter of the recently deceased king. She tells them of Elkia's troubles, how they've become the lowest ranked race out of the sixteen in the world, and Blank make it their mission to restore the people's faith in humanity.
This is an extraordinary example of everything stereotypical western tastes find great, and everything they find uncomfortable, about Japanese animation. This is definitely one of the stranger series I've seen, unrelenting in its use of almost psychedelic colours and jokes flying at a mile a minute.
This is – again – a really funny series, and probably the funniest anime I've seen so far! The arrogance of Sora and Shiro, and how they are completely unbeatable, is portrayed in such a comic way that they never become annoying or irritating to the viewer in any way (well, not for me anyway). Great cutscenes and changes in style make this possible, along with really intelligent writing that, at times, saves this from being simple slapstick comedy. I think this light hearted yet clever comedy is also helped by the side characters, which brings us onto the less pretty side of Japanimation.
Almost all the side characters in NGNL are women, and almost all of them are naked at one point or the other. Led by an adolescent and locked away boy, there are multiple moments in this series where the women are sexualised in one way or another, usually involving them losing their outfits. If you're not totally into the show at the time when this happens, then this show will quickly start to feel uncomfortable. From a personal point of view I didn't mind it. I thought that it was all done playfully and just added to the childish, comedic nature of the whole show. However I would understand if you felt differently.
I rushed through this quicker than I think I've rushed through any show before. While fairly unspectacular, and at times slightly cliché in the way it is everything you would imagine a stereotypical Japanese anime to be, this is the ultimate in cheap, childish and binge-worthy comedy and is definitely worth watching.
I was going to say worth watching whoever you are, but it would probably help if you're of a childish inclination. Or high, or something.
If you like this you'll love: The World God Only Knows – A similar comedy starring an isolated-yet-arrogant boy who is incredible at videogames, who is forced to go after real-life girls. This uses similar cutscenes and childish nature as in No Game No Life for its comedy, but does it in a slightly more well-mannered way.
Toradora (2008-2009, S1, 25x24mins)
Teen, Romantic Comedy
"Those stars look like they're close to each other, but they're actually very far away, aren't they?"
Toradora starts with Ryuji (middle-left), a teenager at high school who, despite his honest nature, is feared by many because of his intimidating looks. Thankfully, his best friend Yusaku (far-right) can see through this, as can his high school crush Minori (middle-right). In efforts to get closer to Minori he ends up rubbing shoulders with her best friend Taiga (far-left). Referred to as the 'palm top tiger' by classmates, she is equally feared due to her tendency to snap at people, often violently. Taiga also has a crush on Ryuji's best friend Yusaku. Expectedly, Ryuji and Taiga take a disliking to each other straight away. However, when they discover that they live next door to each other, and that they are both in love with the other's best friend, they decide to help each other with their crushes.
Again, this is a light-hearted series that tries to strike a balance between comedy and plot. However, this series is definitely more inclined to character development than the two above, and feels a lot more real and believable.
This series started really well. It is really good at the beginning to watch these two fairly closed-off characters unite and open up to each other, and they both really develop as characters in the early episodes. The characters overall are definitely what make this show. While predominantly one-dimensional, all the main characters are really believable people that have their own emotions and motives. The two main female characters – Taiga and Minori – come across as really interesting people who are able to operate as funny comedic characters but also have deep emotions that feel very true. The five main characters (completed by famous teen-model Ami in the middle of the picture above) also cover most bases, meaning there will always be somebody for people – predominantly young people, whom this series is firmly aimed at – to relate to.
The problem I had with Toradora was finishing it. Unfortunately, this is a series that slows and slows, and why it did have a strong climax I did feel that it took an awful long time to get not very far at all. The eventual conclusion was actually pretty good, if a bit depressing compared to the rest of the show. The problem is that it's as if they got to episode twenty-or-so creating simple but fun situations for the characters, before realising they only had a few episodes to fit in their conclusion. This means the finish to Toradora – however good – feels very rushed, and even out of place. You can forgive something like that if it relates to a comedy-based series similar to the two above, but this is a story about people and personal growth as much as comedy, and while Toradora is fairly funny its not the funniest thing I've ever seen in the genre, meaning it almost lives and dies on the quality of story. The base idea is a decent one, but the plot and storyline are almost wafer-thin when you look back upon it.
Comparisons can be instantly drawn between this and Nisekoi above, and unfortunately it's Nisekoi that I would watch again out of the two. The whole teen-rom-com thing is fairly overplayed, and I feel that – looking past characters like Taiga and Minori – this series lacks any real creativity to make it truly stand out. Toradora is a good effort, and a decent series for fans of the genre, but it lacks that 'star-factor' – whether it be excellent comedy or great storyline – to make it really stand out in the sea of anime teen-rom-coms.
If you like this you'll love: Nisekoi – As mentioned above, these are two similar series focusing on teenage, high-school love triangles. Nisekoi is more focused on the comedic, bumbling around side of teenage romance than Toradora, and also focuses on the male's point-of-view, unlike Toradora which is split almost 50-50 between the two main characters.
So there you have it. Just when you you think you've seen it all, I've seen in Nisekoi one of the best anime rom-coms, and in NGNL one of the best comedies full stop! Also, from what I gather online Toradora is actually a really popular
series, so I can't help but feel like I've missed something. If you loved this series then let me know what makes it stand out from the crowd in the comments below.

Admir adds light fittings to digital designs, and oversees implementation once construction is finished.
I originate from Stuttgart, Germany. I'm now based in London.
We pay interns at Mindseye because we appreciate the value of work.
I'm senior lighting design associate for Mindseye Lighting.
We're an independent lighting consultancy. Our work involves collaborating with architects and interior designers to create effective lighting for buildings.
We do all sorts of lighting projects for commercial properties. Previous projects have been as diverse as the Barbican Arts Centre, HSBC Hong Kong and Macy's New York.
I've always loved to be creative and play around with objects.
At secondary school in Germany I was encouraged to go down the technical route, even though I was more interested in creative design. This was still very helpful, as I covered areas such as product design, engineering, electricity and welding.
Before going to university I did an internship. I already had skills in design software, such as Photoshop, so I had something to offer, despite being young.
I was also awarded a week-long design opportunity in France, which was key for getting me into design. During this time I worked with famous designers and met people who spoke different languages. I realised that learning languages and travelling can open doors for your career.
This global outlook stayed with me while I was studying for a degree in Product Design. It encouraged me to do a study exchange to places like South America. I was stuck with people who didn't speak my languages, forcing me to be proactive – it was one of the best experiences that I could have had!
After graduating, I did a formal internship as a product designer with a lighting manufacturing firm. This was followed by a period of freelance work. But it was difficult to make ends meet, and I had to do other work on the side.
After two years I was ready to take the next step, and enrolled in a Masters course in London.
I graduated in Product Design at the Design University Schwaebisch Gmuend, Germany, in 2000. I was awarded the Fulbright Scholarship, allowing me to study and work in Carracas, Venezuela and San Francisco.
Each project is a different challenge, coming with new architects, designers and spaces.
In 2002-04, I did a Masters in Design Products at the Royal College of Art, London.
I also have a CLTAD teaching certificate, so I can lecture on design topics at universities.
Having travelled so much, I speak German, Bosnian, Spanish and English.
My job involves collaborating with architects and interior designers to enhance interior design with light.
Architects need us to make the lighting in a space look effective both day and night. This can mean also sorts of things depending on the project. Sometimes they want lighting to be discrete, other times they want something spectacular!
The client gives us their first designs of what the space should look like on file.
We import the file and digitally add luminaires (light fittings).
We the create a 'concept document' about the space's lighting design, which we present to the client.
This is then further refined, and we produce final technical drawings.
We visit the space as it is being constructed and help make the designs a reality.
We help to 'set the scene', using methods such as dim or bright lighting to define the mood of the space.
It's never boring. Each project is a different challenge, coming with new architects and designers, and new spaces. It's thrilling – the day can never be long enough.
It's difficult when a client doesn't see our advice through. Sometime they come to us for a consultation, but don't get us on board to implement our concepts.
The space ends up not looking as good as it could because they don't have an understanding of how to use luminaires, colour temperatures, etc.
How can I get into design?
I did one even before starting university. But I do recommended looking for paid internships. We pay interns at Mindseye because we appreciate the value of work.
Don't be put off if you don't get into your first choice university. It probably wasn't the right one for you. One university should never decide your destiny.
There's no 'normal' way to get design jobs. For some people it's direct, for others it's trial and error. Be open to other further education routes, such as apprenticeships.

Pinterest: Is the Life Insurance Industry Pinning?
Several prominent life insurance firms have introduced Pinterest pages to increase engagement with prospects and clients. Like most Pinterest users, Life Insurance firms rely heavily on pinning content that exists elsewhere. This serves to raise the visibility of their products and to drive traffic back to their website. As Pinterest evolves and adds new advertising capabilities, we expect it to become a more powerful tool not only for insurers, but firms across financial services.
Inside this slide deck, we highlight a few Pinterest pages from insurers tracked by our Life Insurance Monitorresearch service. These include Genworth, Nationwide and Northwestern Mutual. We also offer basic tips for insurers looking to build a Pinterest presence.

NANNIES should be made tax deductible as part of a plan to give new mums and dads more choices on whether to stay at home with the kids or go back to work, according to a rising government Senator from Queensland.
Senator Amanda Stoker says her proposal would boost Australia's flagging fertility rate, while cracking down on the cash-in-hand black economy of nannies.
LNP Senator Amanda Stoker said it would not only make it easier for mums wanting to get back into the workforce to do so, it would boost Australia's flagging fertility rate, while cracking down on the cash-in-hand black economy of nannies.
It would be part of a broader plan, which would include new tax arrangements which would encourage mums or dads who want to stay at home with the kids to do so, by allowing them to be taxed on their combined household income, instead of as individuals.
The number of babies born per woman in Australia has fallen in the past decade from 1.87 children to 1.78, while it has fallen from almost 3 children in the 1970s.
The Turnbull Government previously ran a nanny pilot program, which ended this month, but only subsidised costs to a maximum of $8.50 per hour, reducing to $5 per hour for higher income families.
Senator Stoker said making hiring a nanny tax deductible would help professional couples, as well as shift workers and people working odd hours.
"We have a really low birth rate coming from particularly educated women. It shouldn't be that a woman has to choose between a great career and family," she said.
Senator Amanda Stoker said making the hiring of a nanny tax deductible would help professional couples, as well as shift workers and people working odd hours.
She said there should also be incentives offered for families which chose to have one parent stay at home to raise the children, such as allowing them to be taxed at a rate based on their combined income, rather than as individuals.
"Then there's some tax benefit offered to families that decide to make the sacrifice of having one parent at home," Senator Stoker said.
"We need to be open to ways to offer as much choice as is possible for families to being involved in their children's lives with having a meaningful work lives too.


*Area, Population and Density rankings refer to Glastenbury's relative position among Vermont's 255 civic entities (9 cities, 242 towns, 4 gores and grants). Complete rankings are here.
In its charter, it is spelled Glossenbury, after the English pronunciation; the English spelling, however, is Glastonbury. There being no member of the peerage associated with the town until later, the most probable reason for Wentworth's use of the name was to recall Glastonbury, Somerset, England. He granted the next town to the east as Somerset three weeks later.
Glastonbury, England was in Wentworth's time (and still is) noted for several legends. Joseph of Arimathea is said to have brought Christianity to England, choosing Glastonbury as the place he would build a church. He drove his his staff into the ground, and it grew into a tree which supposedly blossoms every Christmas Eve. Another legend says that Joseph brought the Holy Grail to Glastonbury, where it remains hidden today. A third says Glastonbury was Arthur's Camelot, and that he and Guinevere are buried there.
Regardless of is legendary namesake, Vermont's Glastenbury seems to have been ill-omened from the start. The few settlers who tried found little land to farm in the mountainous terrain. The first US Census in 1791 counted just 34 people in six familes. Children died of whooping cough and diptheria, mothers died in childbirth, and the population stayed about the same for many years. The town was finally incorporated in 1834 and sent its first representative to the Legislature, even though there were still fewer than fifty people in the town.
In a period of prosperity after the Civil War, charcoal was produced in Glastenbury, there being an abundance of trees. For some years, it was hauled by wagon to Shaftsbury, just north of Bennington.
A group of men bought about 6 square miles of Glastenbury and formed the Bennington and Glastenbury Railroad, Mining and Manufacturing company, then laid about 9 miles of phenomenally steep railroad from Bennington into southern Glastenbury; it is said that the road had a rise of 250 feet per mile in some places, the steepest traction railroad ever built in the the US.
The company built enormous kilns, which produced some 30,000 bushels of charcoal a month at their peak. A blacksmith shop, sawmill, store and workers' homes were built, forming the hamlet called Fayville.
Eventually, the kilns in the southern part of town and the logging operation in the north exhausted the town's only resource, and the boom was over by 1889. But the townsfolk hung on, developing a fern-picking industry, reorganizing the railroad, and building a hotel and casino as tourist attractions. In 1898 a flood wiped out the tracks, bringing the tourist business to an end.
By the 1930's the family of Judge Norman Mattison filled all town offices but one, which was held by a summer resident. In 1937 the Legislature disenfranchised the town (see also Averill, Ferdinand, Lewis and Somerset). It is now what we call an unorganized town: its affairs, such as they might be, are handled by a state-appointed trustee. The 1950 census showed only one resident, but he too eventually moved. There are only a handful of people who call the town home for a few weeks each summer; aside from The Long Trail traversing the town between Woodford and Sunderland, the only access is one dirt road entering from Shaftsbury, to total no more than two miles of road in the entire town. US 7 gently snakes in and out acouple of times in the northwest corner, with signs telling you that you are in Glastenbury.
Rather than having its own government (Select Board, Town Clerk, etc.) the town's affairs are administered by a state-appointed supervisor.


Cause accidents they happen and I'm still alive though I should be dead.
I just came up from the ground if we fooled around would it be sin?
And I find that you don't like me anymore.
No more hours of making out, why couldn't I've just have gone to Hell?
Now your obviously sickened by me and I'm starting to doubt your love is true.
'cause I COULD ALWAYS EAT YOUR BRAIN!
I could always eat your brain!

Last weekend there were two shows in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, one we ran and one we set up at. Instead of full-blown show reviews, this is going to be a bit of quick hits about various highlights and topics which came up over the weekend.
Our show at the Southfork Hotel in Plano continues to draw about the same amount of people each month. We draw whether or not there are other shows in the area (as in the show at the Great Wolf Lodge last month) or whether we are two weeks away from Christmas. That indicates, just as I'm sure Gary Sipos would tell me about his New Jersey shows, a stable mass of people who will attend each time. I will also say that it is difficult to have great sales when you are concerned not only about your table but also about ensuring the people come in and pay their minimal $1 admission.
We had one couple come in and when I informed them the admission was $1 each, the wife was very happy to pull out her purse but her husband said something to the effect of "everything is cheaper on-line and I'm not spending $1 to enter a show." I guarantee you that at just about every show, if you look hard enough you will find something you can flip for a few bucks to cover that dollar if it's really a hardship. We have a bunch of very reasonably priced vendors and almost to a person they work with all their customers. I think having someone balk at a $1 admission fee (which we use to cover the cost of renting the room and other expenses), was a first for me after more than 30 years of shows.
One of the vendors was not only wholesaling out some mini-helmets they had received as part of a major storage unit purchase but also was smart enough to look for additional ways of alerting collectors to what they had. They posted on several DFW collector sites and on Craigslist about what they had and that they would be attending the show. Good for them. Good for us as those posts did bring some people in the door.
That's a good reminder for anyone who sells at shows. Promote yourself wherever and whenever you can and invite people to visit you at a show. Roger Neufeuldt is excellent about sending out postcards to his clients whenever he comes to DFW and I try to post on hobby message boards whenever I do someone else's shows. Frankly, in today's hobby, every dealer should look for every angle in bringing in customers and not just leave that to the promoters. Many of those promotional opportunities are free, too.
At last count, I try to have notices about the show in about 15 places and am always looking for more places to add to for publicity. That includes obvious old-school places such as Beckett and SCD and new school ways such as Twitter and Craigslist. During the Sunday show, dealer Kin Kinsley was trying to explain to the promoter of the Awesome Card Shows about people in their 20's-30's using Twitter. He said, we were able to draw people to your show and frankly that age is among the sweet spot of attendees as that has been the traditional age when childhood collectors return to the hobby.
One dealer at our show had some base sets of a Bowman Chrome Prospects set available. When I asked him about "book" meaning Beckett prices he looked at me incredulously and said something to the effect of "I have not even looked at anything Beckett-related for ten years. I just look at what prices items are selling for on eBay." And I had some Clayton Kershaw rookie cards in my boxes at levels between 15 and 25 percent of Beckett prices. Now granted some of the boxes are difficult to go through but I had the Topps Update Kershaw rookie sitting in those boxes at $3 each for a long time when Beckett is now $25 and you know no one even cared. Nor did anyone care about the 2008 Topps Heritage Update Rookie Performers cards which I had marked at $10 which are now something like $40. Years ago, collectors would have grabbed those cards while today, since it was not something immediately sellable, they sat at shows for several months.
If you notice, I use the word "our" for the shows. While I'm local and do the bulk of the day-to-day activities, my friend Jeff Johnson out of Mesa, Arizona handles the business aspects. Together, we are hoping to bring in guests either through our contacts. He's the hobby representative for several players including All-Star Salvador Perez. Our guest next month is Lindy McDaniel, who was a major leaguer for nearly 20 years and we were able to reach him through one of my comments. I will also say that Mr. McDaniel's price point is reasonable enough that we are able to give one free autograph with an $1 admission. While not every autograph will be that reasonable, that is a goal to have reasonably priced players so our collectors can benefit.
Another local show promoter who believes we are competing with him used the word "carpetbaggers" to describe us as he tried to promote his own shows. I thought that was kind of funny because, for example, if Dallas-Fort Worth were fortunate enough to get a National Convention in the next few years, who would object to the NSCC promoters? Technically, they'd be carpetbaggers, too, but who would really object to people coming in with such vast experience at running a big event and bringing lots of collectors and money to the DFW area? I sure would not, in fact, I would be looking for ways to help them and coordinate with them.
Would you consider Tri-Star Productions in that same vein since they are based in Houston? I certainly wouldn't. Again, I would look for ways to work with their group to help them run a great show in the area. To call people names is one surefire way to prevent the large shows from coming to Dallas-Fort Worth if promoters don't want the backlash from certain people. I will also point out one other salient fact. The people who said that had scheduled a show that was listed in Beckett several weeks ago. One of my collecting buddies drove out to their show with several hundred dollars in his pocket and then called me on his way back home. He was furious. They had canceled the show and did not bother to let their Beckett listing contact know about the cancellation, meaning some people drove quite a distance only to discover it was a waste of time.
I will say I think a permanent partnership between the two groups mentioned by the local name-caller is a good idea. James is better at doing publicity and I always see new people coming into his show including a person who brought in their father-in-law's collection which included a decent looking 1968 set. The other two people are solid card dealers and I think that combination works well as to have James do his promotion and the other two work with their dealer networks makes for a good partnership. One reason the November show did not go off is because the prom if you have more than one person promoting, not all of them have to be at every show. If you have a good partnership, then if there is a reason for one not to be at a show, the other can just run things.
On Sunday I set up at the Awesome Card Show which had been moved from Arlington to Irving. Among my customers was a very dedicated young couple who are collecting Minnesota Twins/Washington Senators cards. They are both interested enough collectors they attended the 2014 National Convention in Cleveland as the young lady grew up in Ohio and got to see family as well. Both are collectors and they found out shows thanks to Kin's work in getting a DFW group growing through Twitter.
I'm always skeptical of how Awesome Cards and the other shows James runs has an "early bird" admission of $5 and then drops to $2 at 11 AM. To me, I would do the early bird before the doors officially open (Think of National VIP's) and then have regular admission. While I won't do that because I'm old school, there just might be something to the early admission for extra dollars.


Once again the criminals seem to be getting more rights than the victim. What an injustice to all American citizens.
Be honest about Glendale now yyros. The pro-illegals were in the faces of the protestors, screaming obscenities and daring them to start something. Several of the women protestors at were spit on and shoved around while the police watched. Joe Turner did no more than shove a man back, a counter protestor, NOT A DAY LABORER, who was in his face screaming at him.
The charge was battery and it was dropped after police reviewed the video of the incident and found that Joe was provoked beyond what was reasonable. Yes, video. There is a reason SOS tapes all of their protests.
But hey, what can we all expect from somebody who believes Indymedia to be a credible information outlet?

That old worn out "race card" is the only thing they have. I expect that they'll go down with the ship clinging desperately to it too.
You want him to be honest? Now there is a funny thought. It will never happen because no matter what he and some others say, they are pro-illegal and show a complete disdain for their own country.
LOL, so if something is racist what are we to call it??
BTW, the amnesty card and open border card is getting tiring too.
I have some of the pro-illegal people in this group on ignore so I have no idea what they post unless someone quotes them in some reply. I just wanted to tell the pro-illegal person that gave me a neg rep and told me to show respect. I do show respect to those that deserve it. One has to earn any respect I give, so eat dust pro-illegal American hating person.
And I am almost 100% certain you are correct there, Kele.
The screamin' irony due to your 1/8 Apache heritage is that you could throw the 'race card' against most Mexicans because the Apache were here first and the Aztec, etc. were in what is today's Mexico----not the American Southwest.
They came across the street to attack the old people.
i used to be apathetic about the so-called "illegal immigration problem". then i see all these All-Americans Patrots waving swastikas and confederate flags and realized the true nature of the "anti-illegal" crowd.
That wouldn't be a grand sort of generalization would it?
Wouldn't the same sort of logic make pro-illegal people in favour of criminality or communism?
You could even take the logic a bit further and suggest that anyone who is in favour of illegal immigration, supports the invasion of the US. The fact that the invasion is not by a formal army and not by armed people does not necessarily make it less of an invasion.
Wouldn't support for an invasion be treason?

Home Press Release Paul Collins to Drop New Studio Album "Out of My Head"
Paul Collins to Drop New Studio Album "Out of My Head"
by 13 Stitches Magazine August 28, 2018
written by 13 Stitches Magazine August 28, 2018
SEPTEMBER 28TH VIA ALIVE NATURAL SOUND RECORDS
Paul Collins is one of the most enduring cult rockers of the late seventies and a founding member of the legendary band The Nerves (with Jack Lee and Peter Case). He started his solo career in 1979 with the release of his album The Beat on Columbia Records under the management of the legendary Bill Graham, and has released more than 11 studio albums as Paul Collins, The Beat or Paul Collins' Beat.
Out of My Head, his new record, is a return to the pure, unadulterated sound he helped create in his youth. On this new album Paul not only sings, but plays all the drums and most of the guitars as well.
With the collaboration of Paul Stingo on bass and harmonies, he delivers a true rock 'n' roll record of the kind that are not being made in today's world: simple melodies with classic songwriting structure, Rickenbacker guitars drenched in juicy reverb, straight up '60s pop harmonies, and groovy drums, all recorded reel to reel, by real players. With a photo cover shot by legendary NY photographer Bob Gruen, Out of My Head is a testament to one man's undying love for rock 'n' roll.
Paul Collins' Out of My Head will be available on Limited Edition Vinyl, CD, digital and streaming formats September 28th via Alive Naturalsound Records. Click here to pre-order the limited starburst vinyl.
HERE'S WHAT THE CRITICS HAVE ALREADY BEEN SAYING ABOUT PAUL'S OUT OF MY HEAD:
"The power pop veteran's new album Out Of My Head is full of adventures." – Gary Graff, BILLBOARD
"… vintage and timeless. Paul Collins hits it out of the park with his phenomenal new album, Out of My Head." – Marc Michael , THE PULSE
"One of Out Of My Head's highlights is second track "Go," a blink-and-you'll-miss-it slice of power-pop goodness that's all skinny ties and fat hooks. 45 years into his career, Collins has mastered this kind of song, and there seems to be no shortage of them inside of him. It just might be the best one-and-a-half minutes of your summer of love." – Eric Miller, MAGNET MAGAZINE
"… top to bottom this album is a charmer. The opening four tracks dial perfectly into a Nerves-esque, guitar-fueled, power-pop zone. Out Of My Head is short on running time and at less than 35 minutes it is a testament to this man's ongoing ability to craft the kind of melodies and music that lift your spirits and even compels you to sing along to the effervescent ear worms. Too few bands are making this kind of unalloyed magic these days and for his part Collins should be congratulated for being so adept." – Jeff Monk, WINNIPEG FREE PRESS
"Well-crafted songs with depth…. a classic." – I94 BAR
"What is striking about Collins is the quality of his songwriting output over a four-decade period. His new single 'In and Out of My Head' shows he's still got it. The rumbly guitar is wonderfully retro yet freshly deployed on a tune that sounds like it belongs on a Roy Orbison album." – POP ROCK RECORD
"Paul Collins' latest LP, Out of My Head, is nothing less than a testament to one man's undying love for rock 'n' roll. He has the same unbridled enthusiasm for playing melodic power pop that he had when he started almost 40 years ago. Most importantly, he hasn't lost his touch for writing a killer hook." – POWER POP NEWS
"Out of My Head is a return to the pure, unadulterated sound Collins helped create in his youth. With the collaboration of Paul Stingo on bass and harmonies, he delivers a true rock 'n' roll record of the kind that are not being made in today's world: simple melodies with classic songwriting structure, Rickenbacker guitars drenched in juicy reverb, straight up '60s pop harmonies, and groovy drums, all recorded reel to reel, by real players." Neil Ferguson, GLIDE MAGAZINE
"…pure, old fashioned rock and roll." – A JOURNAL OF MUSICAL THINGS

June 23, 2015 / Carl
I try to understand both sides of an issue. I've gotten criticism from my side for not being on that side enough. I'm not coming out with guns drawn and scathing words. I understand there are two sides to everything. If there wasn't, it would be an issue.
It's easy to find the other side because other thoughtful thinkers will point it out. Not in a way of OMG DID YOU SEE THIS MESS? or I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THIS! But in a simple way of hey, look at this other perspective that's different from my own. That's important. It's necessary to see the other side and why they believe what they believe. Even if I find it repugnant. I need to know where they're coming from or we'll never hope to meet on a common ground.
The most recent debate about the Confederate flag finds itself at the middle of a controversy just like this. For context, I grew up surrounded by them. It was a way of life for me to see it on cars, flying in front of houses and in the community where I lived. I didn't think much of it because it was my privilege not to have to worry about it.
But I understand its history and its message. Whether it be heritage or hate doesn't matter. It's a symbol closely associated with slavery. Just as the swastika was a pagan symbol before the Nazis used it. You don't see many swastikas around anymore.
Federico Viticci made a similar point on Twitter.
We also have a heritage in Italy. It's called fascism. We don't celebrate it or miss it. Time to grow up for some Americans.
Heritage and history do not exist in a vacuum. They're two sides to every history. The side that gives you pride in the South also reminds others of a terrifying, painful period in their lives. Where their great-grandparents were literally owned by your great-grandparents. That's the heritage.
Just as there are two sides to everything, there are people in the South who want to make the argument to remove the flag of the United States of America because of what it represents.
I saw a group from the South arguing against the US Flag because of what the country has become. I'm paraphrasing but they wanted it removed because of the acceptance of homosexuality, the deteriorating morals of the US and the liberals ruining the country.
I don't agree with them and their belief doesn't change the history associated with the Confederacy but there's always another side. A side I absolutely disagree with.
The Confederate Flag is coming down. It's no longer for sale in Wal-Marts, Amazon or eBay. Virginia's Governor has a plan to remove the licenses plates with it from the state.
It will eventually come down in South Carolina, but not until some more work is done. It's not as simple as merely lowering the flag. The flag cannot be lowered, only removed. It can clearly be seen in photos. The mechanism to remove it is under lock and key.
It's time to move on. There is a line that needs to be drawn between heritage and hate. You're allowed to do whatever you like in your own house. You can fly a flag on your farm and in your home if that's your desire. But it's time to remove it from government. It's time to take it off government buildings.
Those buildings are not just used by those who want to fly the flag. The public grounds are used by everyone. They're used by white and black alike. They're used by people from all walks of life and it's time to take down this symbol of hatred and slavery.
The Nazis gave Germany the autobahn and rocketry, the swastika is not an acceptable symbol of heritage in Germany or anywhere else. Your heritage is not more important than the atrocity accompanying it. It's unacceptable to continue to fly and use a symbol that hurt so many for so long. It's over.

Teen Suicide Rate Spikes 56% in a Decade
Written by Julia Ries on October 17, 2019
Health experts have been baffled by a rise in suicide among teens and young adults. Getty Images
Suicide is the second-leading cause of death for older teens and young adults.
The suicide rate has been increasing from 2007 through 2017.
The rate went from 6.8 deaths per 100,000 people to 10.6, according to the CDC report.
A new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that the teen suicide rate in the United States has skyrocketed in recent years.
Suicide was recently ranked as the second-leading cause of death for people between the ages of 15 and 24 years old.
Each year, about 7 out of 100,000 young adults between the ages of 15 and 19 die by suicide each year — and that number only seems to be growing.
The suicide rate had been on a steady decline between 2000 and 2007. Then, things picked up, and from 2007 to 2017, the teen suicide rate spiked by nearly 56 percent — the rate climbing from 6.8 deaths per 100,000 people to 10.6, according to the report, which the CDC published today.
Similarly, homicides — the third-leading cause of death among the age group — declined between 2007 and 2014, then increased by about 18 percent in 2017.
The new statistics are sobering, to say the least, but some health experts suspect the teen suicide rate is even higher than what's been reported.
"Even though the study by the CDC demonstrates an increased rate of completed suicide in the adolescent, young adult age group, I still think we need to recognize that suicide may be underreported, and that accidents continue to be the leading cause of death and a significant number of those accidents may actually have been suicide," Dr. Victor M. Fornari, the vice chair of child and adolescent psychiatry at Zucker Hillside Hospital in Glen Oaks, New York, told Healthline.
What's causing the spike?
There are a handful of biological, psychological, and social factors at play, making it difficult to pinpoint one sole reason for the surge in teen suicide.
"We know there are predisposing issues, precipitating issues, and perpetuating issues — and I don't think there's any one single set that accounts for this," Fornari said.
There are the common risk factors, including mood disorders like depression, trauma, or anxiety, along with alcohol and drug use and a family history of suicide, as well as ongoing issues accessing mental health treatment and care.
There are also newer pressures influencing the lives of young adults. Bullying is a major problem in the United States, especially in the age of social media, where people can hurt each other through a few clicks and put people at risk for suicidal thoughts, says Fornari.
Those who opt to go to college are put under such intense levels of stress that nearly 1 in 5 college students consider taking their life.
Many who are figuring out their sexual orientation struggle with coming out in today's divisive political climate. Experts estimate that lesbian, gay, and bisexual kids are three times more likely than their straight peers to attempt suicide.
And with the help of the internet and lax federal laws on firearm sales, teens and young adults can easily access pills or guns.
"Suicide is caused by a combination of an individual feeling like they don't belong in society, feeling like they are a burden on others, having the means to die by suicide, and feeling trapped by current problems without seeing a solution," said Jennifer Weniger, PhD, a licensed psychologist and marriage and family therapist at Loma Linda University Behavioral Medicine Center.
Fornari advocates coming up with screening methods to get ahead of the problem and prevent it from worsening.
"In addition to depression screening, which is already incorporated into the pediatric well visit for adolescents, we really have to do direct suicide screening," Fornari explained.
Fornari says we need to come up with public health strategies that can identify vulnerable youth as early as possible.
"The greater public health question that remains to be addressed is what is the most effective screening method for youth today so we capture as many vulnerable kids with suicide thoughts in an effort to engage them in treatment," Fornari said.
This isn't an opinion shared by all public health experts, and it's at odds with the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, which does not recommend screening for suicide due to a lack of evidence that it would be beneficial.
In the meantime, there are warning signs that parents or caregivers can look for if they're worried a teen is thinking about suicide. These signs include being isolated, increased anxiety, increased substance use, increased anger or rage, extreme mood swings, expressing hopelessness, and sleeping too much or too little.
If a teen you know starts behaving and functioning differently, it can be worth reaching out and having an open, honest conversation.
You can also set up an appointment with a mental health professional, who can ask them if they're having life threatening thoughts.
"Suicide is a public health epidemic that warrants attention, funding, and collaboration between community leaders," Weniger added. "We all need to work together in the fight against suicide."
Between 2007 and 2017, the teen suicide rate spiked by nearly 56 percent — the rate climbing from 6.8 deaths per 100,000 people to 10.6.
While there are a handful of factors causing the spike, health experts suspect bullying, access to guns, and high levels of stress seem to have contributed to the rising rate.
If you live in the United States, you can get help by calling the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (800-273-8255). They have trained counselors available 24/7.
Befrienders Worldwide and the International Association for Suicide Prevention are two organizations that provide contact information for crisis centers outside of the United States.

As the rates for suicide among teen girls increases, experts are discussing how we need to change how we talk to young women about the topic.
Researchers say the increase in smartphone use coincides with the increase in mental health issues among the iGen crowd.
Even if most teens aren't suffering from a true addiction to their phones, they may be experiencing altered childhoods because of the technology.

Kings of Bosporos, Polemo I, c. 14 - 9 B.C.
The Bosporan Kingdom (or Kingdom of the Cimmerian Bosporus) was in eastern Crimea and the Taman Peninsula on the shores of the Cimmerian Bosporus, the present-day Strait of Kerch (it was not named after the Bosphorus beside Istanbul). The mixed population adopted Greek language and civilization. The prosperity of the kingdom was based on the export of wheat, fish and slaves. The kingdom's golden age was 2nd and 1st centuries B.C. At the end of the 2nd century A.D., King Sauromates II inflicted a critical defeat on the Scythians and expanded his state to include the entire Crimea. It was the longest surviving Roman client kingdom, lasting until it was overrun by the Huns c. 375 A.D.GB85937. Bronze tetrachalkon, Frolova-Ireland p. 52, pl. 33/1, pl. 34/1-5, MacDonald Bosporus 229, SNG Stancomb 961, Anokhin 256, HGC 7 347 (R2), RPC I -, SNG BM -, SNG Pushkin -, nice VF, bold strike, slightly off center, attractive near black patina with buff earthen highlighting, scratches, edge cracks, countermark, weight 9.295 g, maximum diameter 24.0 mm, die axis 0o, Pantikapaion (Kerch, Crimea) mint, c. 14 - 9 B.C.; obverse head of gorgon Medusa (or Perseus? - most references say a gorgon) right, winged, snakes (or drapery) around neck, obscure round countermark before; reverse monogram of Polemo I; very rare; $160.00 (€140.80)
Amisos, Pontos, c. 120 - 100 B.C.
Amisos was settled c. 760 - 750 B.C. by people from Miletus, who established a flourishing trade relationship with the ancient peoples of Anatolia. Amisos came under the rule of the Persian Empire, Alexander the Great's Macedonian Empire, and then the Kingdom of Pontus. The Romans took control in 47 B.C. and Amisos remained within the Byzantine Empire after the fall of Rome. In 1200, the city was captured by the Seljuks, to be later taken over by the Ilhanlilar. Amisos today is Samsun, a city of about half a million people on the north coast of Turkey.GB89146.

Macedonian Kingdom, Perseus, 179 - 168 B.C.
Perseus of Macedonia was the last king of the Antigonid dynasty, who ruled the successor state in Macedonia created after the death of Alexander the Great. After losing the Battle of Pydna on 22 June 168 B.C., Macedonia came under Roman rule.
The hero Perseus, the legendary founder of Mycenae and of the Perseid dynasty there, was the first of the mythic heroes of Greek mythology whose exploits in defeating various archaic monsters provided the founding myths in the cult of the Twelve Olympians. Perseus was the hero who killed Medusa and claimed Andromeda, having rescued her from a sea monster. GB83486. Bronze AE 19, cf.

Amaseia, Pontos, c. 120 - 100 B.C.
According to Strabo the Greek name Amaseia comes from Amasis, the queen of the Amazons, who were said to have lived here. The name has changed little throughout history: Amaseia, Amassia, and Amasia are all found on ancient Greek and Roman coinage and continue to be used in modern Greek. Modern Turkish Amasya represents the same pronunciation. Amaseia was captured by the Roman Lucullus in 70 B.C. from Armenia. Pompey designated it a free city and the administrative center of the new province of Bithynia and Pontus. Amaseia was a thriving city, the home of thinkers, writers, and poets. Strabo left a full description of Amaseia as it was between 60 B.C. and 19 A.D.GB92903. Bronze AE 16, SNG BM 1046; SNG Stancomb 655; BMC Pontus p. 6, 2; Rec Gén p. 28, 4; HGC 7 225, VF, green patina, porous, reverse a little off center, weight 3.967 g, maximum diameter 16.4 mm, die axis 0o, Amaseia (Amasya, Turkey) mint, c. 120 - 100 B.C.; obverse draped bust of youthful Perseus right, head bare and wing in hair; reverse cornucopia between two pilei (caps of the Dioskouroi), eight-rayed star above each cap, AMAΣ−ΣEIAΣ divided across field below caps; $80.00 (€70.40)
Kingdom of Thrace, Lysimachos, 305 - 281 B.C.
Athena is the Greek goddess of wisdom, courage, inspiration, civilization, law and justice, strategic warfare, mathematics, strength, strategy, the arts, crafts, and skill. She was believed to lead soldiers into battle as the war goddess Athena Promachos. The Parthenon on the Athenian Acropolis was dedicated to her, along with numerous other temples and monuments across Europe, West Asia, and North Africa.

According to Strabo the Greek name Amaseia comes from Amasis, the queen of the Amazons, who were said to have lived here. The name has changed little throughout history: Amaseia, Amassia, and Amasia are all found on ancient Greek and Roman coinage and continue to be used in modern Greek. Modern Turkish Amasya represents the same pronunciation. Amaseia was captured by the Roman Lucullus in 70 B.C. from Armenia. Pompey designated it a free city and the administrative center of the new province of Bithynia and Pontus. Amaseia was a thriving city, the home of thinkers, writers, and poets. Strabo left a full description of Amaseia as it was between 60 B.C. and 19 A.D.GB89154.

I sit down and write what rhymes.
I do so in joyful, sorrowful ,and depressing times.
Something to look forward to after their nine-to-fives.
But I do not intend to be called a poet.
When I am sad, I write my life story.
Hoping my name goes down in history.
Serving my community and wishing nothing in return.
But never should you address me as a writer.
Through imagination I bring color to this dull world.
I tell a lot of stories without saying a word.
But they want an exhibition to say the least.
Clearly I do not dream to be an artist.
Lyrics to great songs fill my head.
I write them down with a dancing hand.
I feel so delighted, I want to sing forever.
I am fluent and fast like a hip-hop rapper.
Because i don't want to be recognized as a musician.
I clear my throat in order to make a speech.
I feel so emotional I decide to preach.
Perfectly delivered, "just like an orator".
Which depresses me and destroys my vision.
Because it would be a curse to be called a politician.
Ask me any Science principle, definition or equation.
I like Astronomy, Architecture and Aviation.
I have the greatest scientific mind in the country.
I want to use it to develop my country.
I am destined for engineering, it goes without saying.
But I don't know which type of engineering.
Maybe I just want my voice to be heard.
All I want is for the world to change.
I want it now, I can't wait any longer.
Could it be that I am just a reformer?

With only seconds remaining, the captain did not take over but decreased the flap setting to reduce drag just enough for them to get over the perimeter fence and crash down short of the runway.
It took a considerable time for the investigators to demonstrate how and why the interruption of the fuel supply to the engines occurred.
Airways Flight 38, January 17, 2008
After a long flight from Beijing, which only differed from many others in that the aircraft flew through some exceptionally cold air early on, the British Airways Boeing 777 was coming in quite normally to land at London's Heathrow's Runway 27L. As is usual after what is virtually a long, steady glide under the new arrangement to save fuel, a little extra thrust was required at the last minute to prevent the aircraft losing too much airspeed and sinking below the glide path.
To the pilots' dismay, this was not forthcoming, and it looked as if the aircraft was destined to touch down just before reaching the airport. The first officer was flying the aircraft at the time, and although normally the captain takes over in a crisis, he let him continue—an apparently sensible decision, as the first officer had the feel of the aircraft and there was so little time left. The captain reduced the amount of flap to 25 percent, thus reducing the drag and allowing the aircraft to fly farther. The aircraft staggered over the perimeter fence and came down heavily on the grass just beyond some thousand feet short of the paved runway.
The right main landing gear broke off, while the force of the impact forced the landing gear on the left into the wing. The first officer managed to keep the aircraft in a straight line and thus prevent it from cartwheeling. After skidding across the grass, it ended up just at the beginning of the runway paving. Despite an escape of fuel due to the pilots' failure to switch off the fuel supply to the engines correctly, there was no fire and there were no fatalities. The 136 passengers and 16 crew members evacuated the aircraft via the chutes, with one passenger suffering a broken leg. The airline and no doubt its insurers soon deemed the aircraft not worth repairing and classed it as a write-off.
Initially, the media reported many passengers considered it a nonevent, with some only thinking it had been a hard landing. Their main gripe seemed to be their insensitive treatment on reaching the terminal. Yet some days later, with the arrival of lawyers on the scene, some were talking of the great distress they had suffered as justification for suing the airline.
This in turn led to the CEO of BA personally contacting passengers to head off legal action by showing personal concern. In this context, one might mention that some at BA think some business- and first-class passengers regard the airline as a soft touch in that they greatly exaggerate their suffering when things go wrong in order to obtain free flights and/or upgrades. Passengers in economy are not treated so benignly by the airline.

Is Stacey David Gay?
I know that You're interested to find the response Is gay or not, but I will reveal what there is to know about it. If you keep reading, the puzzle will unveil facing you.
Stacey David Gay-o-Meter
Stacey David Photos
We all understand what Stacey David wants us to think. We have been Watching him for a little while today, and we've seen what he's up to. Stacey David and girls for all his life have been dating, and we all have observed all of the scandals that took place. We all cried some time back when he broke up with his girlfriend of 3 decades. Until they weren't they looked the perfect couple. Since then, Stacey David has relationships, if you're able to even call them relationships. But it was good news for all the single women out there. The nights of Stacey David outside gave them a chance.
The instant which made us wonder whether Stacey David is homosexual or not When he began hanging out with his so was called new best friend. He says that he needed a break from all the press, which had been around him the minute he took out a girl. But we are not so sure about it. From what I've observed on networking that is social, Stacey David is too familiar with his friend. Spending time with no woman companion and another guy, it's suspicious, to say the least.
What he stated, and is confirmed by members of the entourage of Stacey David They deny any distress about his sexual orientation. I don't know if I Believe it or not. It would take Chance of a change of heart.
First of all, even if you suspect a Individual has a different On how he behaves around individuals of the identical sex, sexual orientation than what he would like you to think, just pay attention. His eyes will be glowing, which is a indication of desire. It is not the case. When they're around same sex people, people who are gay don't always act in a certain manner. Do you know that appear he receives the steak he ordered half an hour back, and when he's hungry? It resembles that appearance. It is not tricky to determine if someone has opinions for another. You are able to notice the chemistry between a man and a woman. Would it be different for people of the identical sex?
The first sign that a Individual May Be gay is he behaves In a certain way when he is among individuals of the identical sex. He'll have that shine in his eyes that gives far his feelings of longing. It can be deceiving at times, obviously. I believe you're conversant with this look someone has if the waiter brings the steak he ordered an hour. You know because he's very hungry, that he wants it. It's similar to the look a individual has when he lusts to get a second. It's not tough to tell. Individuals are conscious of the chemistry between 2 people of the opposite sex. It's the same with people.
The First Thing should tip you off sexual Orientation is his overall behaviour among other guys. His eyes will be glowing, and you can admit his lust. It is not valid in all scenarios, however most. Gay men do not necessarily become aroused when they hang out with other men. It's just like that look you have in your face when you are hungry and can see from afar the beef you purchased half an hour is being brought by the waiter. It's all about the same. It is desire. It's not difficult to judge with a person's look he wants someone sexually. It is exactly the same with everyone, regardless of the orientation.
If You Wish to Discover the facts about a man's sexual Preferences, among the first things that you ought to pay attention to is his own behavior when he's around other men. He will get this desire that is unmistakable shine in his eyes that reveals. You may be deceived by it at times. If they see individuals of the same sex, like homosexuals mechanically get excited, it's not. It does not work like that. It's like you would wave a large, juicy steak before a individual. You can tell he wants it only. You can normally tell because it's possible to sense the chemistry when a person has feelings for the other. When that happens between two people of different genders you notice. Why would it be any different for men and women?
Does careers are affected by sexual orientation?
As far as I'm concerned, it should not. Sexual preference is When it comes to that individual's job a component of someone's life and shouldn't be taken into consideration. It doesn't influence his abilities that are working. It doesn't signify he is bad at his job, even if a person is homosexual. Nevertheless, individuals can be horrible at times, and they do not conceal their discrimination against gays.
Sexual preference should not affect Since it has nothing to do with a individual's ability to do in his 19, somebody's career. But again, we are living in a world in which intolerance still exists, and also a great deal of people are discriminated against as they are homosexual.
From where I reside, being gay has nothing to do with Somebody's capacity to do a wonderful job. Sexual orientation has no effect whatsoever on the skills of someone. However, some people are prejudiced and think that gays have no place in fields, even though life should not matter everywhere.
In my opinion, sexual orientation is irrelevant to some Individual's job. Exactly what someone does in his familiarity of his home is his enterprise. It does not signify that their skills have to suffer. The entire world does not appear to accept this notion and a few folks are still discriminating against gays.
Is Stacey David gay? Conclusion
I like to think that We've moved on beyond discriminating Against. A lot of you're like me, no ruling, which is why the LGBT community Has an army of fans behind it. Unfortunately, there are some Think that being different is contrary to character and will not change their mentality.


Born near Dana, Indiana, Pyle became one of the best-known reporters in America with his syndicated column covering World War II. Sensitive, insightful, and humorous, Pyle brought the common man's war to millions of Americans, telling how the nation's young men lived, and sometimes died, as soldiers. In 1944, Pyle won the Pulitzer Prize for journalism. He traveled with U.S. troops on nearly every front in Africa and Europe, and then went to the Pacific theater. He was killed by a Japanese machine gunner on April 18, 1945, during the battle for Okinawa.
