article summary

                Higher up males in Afghanistan would kidnap young boys and put them in the sex trade. They would take the young male and put makeup on them, as well as fake breasts and bells to make them look like young girls. After they dolled the young males up they would go sell them to the higher up males of Afghanistan to be raped. This article talked about Jawed who was kidnapped by a former jihadi commander in Shomali. Jawed was taken when he was barely 14 and stayed with him for 4 years until he was replaced, but then he was gifted to another strongman. Then he escaped when he was 19 during a gunfight at a wedding.

                Putting myself into the young male’s shoes would be one of the worst things ever. Those young males have no choice and have to suffer and can not do anything about it because they are so young. Being dressed up as a girl and wearing makeup, fake breasts, and bells. Then being sold to adult male’s and being forced to have sex with them. How Jawed escaped I would try doing the same thing as well, but to know how to escape and to get away with out being caught would be hard because, I would not know anything to do after I escaped.

Chevy vs. Ford

2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 vs. 2017 Ford F-150
Over the years with trucks there has been two really big companies going back and forth against each other trying to be the best. I think it is more of an opinion on which one is better between the two, but there are stats every year on the two trucks.
This year for the 2017 Ford F-150 cost 26,540 dollars. It has good gas mileage of 25 miles per gallon. Its cargo volume is 62.3 cu-ft. and its towing capacity is 12,200 pounds. Where the 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 is 27,195 dollars. Its miles per gallon on the highway is 24 miles. Its cargo volume is 61 cu-ft. and its towing capacity is 12,000 pounds. So, you can tell by comparing all this together that the 2017 Ford F-150 is cheaper than the 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500. The 2017 Ford F-150 has better miles per gallon on the highway then the 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500. The 2017 Ford F-150 has more floor space than the 2017 Chevy Silverado. The 2017 Ford F-150 can tow more than the 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500.
My opinion on the Ford trucks is they are good reliable trucks. I have never had a problem with driving a Ford. In the summer where I work I drove two different Ford F-150’s one was like a 1982 and the other one was like a 2006 and they drove nice, had good power, and didn’t have to fill them up to often. I also drove a Ford F-250 and we would hook up a cattle trailer and have four bulls or nine heifers in the trailer and it pulled them around easily but, it did take a lot of gas. The bigger trucks are not made for really good gas mileage though. They make it so they will pull a lot of weight and if you are pulling something or not pulling something it will not affect your gas mileage that much. It will only change a little bit.
Now my opinion on the Chevy truck is going to be about the same. I think they are really nice trucks and are reliable trucks. I have a 2004 Chevy 2500 and I really like that truck. I would not change anything with it beside the gas mileage. The gas mileage is not that great, but I knew that when I bought the truck that the gas mileage was not going to be very good. The truck has done and probably will do everything I want it to do. It has a lot of pulling power and even with putting a lot of weight on the back end it does not squat at all or not that much. The springs on it are meant for that thought. It is not as smooth of a ride as it is with just regular springs or shocks are, but the leaf springs are very good for holding weight. Where I worked at they had an old Chevy 60 it was probably a 70’s or 80’s truck and it was an old grain truck that was changed up a little bit. They put a flatbed on it and put a water tank on for when he has to spray you just drive that back to the farm and fill it up instead of having to drive the sprayer all the way back to the farm. It was a quicker process using the truck for transporting the water then the sprayer and that truck handled 1,000 gallons of water like it was nothing. It did not have a problem with accelerating or slowing down. It did have a problem with turning when going slow, but that’s because it was a lot of weight and no power steering. Driving that truck the whole day for him was an arm work out, but it was a manual, so it was fun driving. Old Chevy trucks to me are easier to shift than older ford trucks. You didn’t have to get the rpm’s up as high to shift.
So, to conclude my this I think that the 2017 Ford F-150 and the 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 are both great trucks. Ford and Chevy trucks are pretty much becoming the same trucks because one will find something really good then the other one will take that idea and improve it. So, it is pretty much like they are working together to make the best truck possible. They keep just going back and forth at each other. The trucks are pretty much the same besides the logo on the side of truck. So, if you are wonder what truck you should get. Just get whatever you can afford because I would be ok with either truck. They both would do what I want them to do. Right know my truck gets 12 miles per gallon, I would be happy to have a truck that has 24 or 25 miles per gallon, that is literally double my gas mileage.
My website I used to get my info and the picture of both trucks together is : https://www.mikecastruccialexandria.com/clp-2017-ford-f-150-vs-2017-chevy-silverado-1500

I got my other pictures off google.

1st amendment rights

I think that this case is stupid and pointless and should of never been brought into Federal Court. Yes in Minnesota there is a law that you can not say no to someone because of the sex or marital status but still if that photography company tells you no we are not going to videotape your wedding just go find a different photography company that will videotape your wedding. If that company said no the next one more than likely would say yes because they are getting money for it. Its not like a gay couples wedding videos are going to cost you more money than someone that is not gay.

I think that photography company should of either just taken the video or just been like nope we are busy that day just so they would not have to deal with going to court over this deal and have that bad name for the company.

So my thought on this is that it is stupid and that gay couple should of never of made it a big deal. That is just how our country is. If you are gay and not straight there are going to be people that do not like you and you are just going to have to deal with it and get over it. It is such a small thing that you should not let bother you.

In the article link above it is talking about a white cop that shot and killed this black teenager.

On November 2015 Chicago released the video of Jason Van Dyke the cop shooting Laquan McDonald 16 times.
Two cops in a police cruiser were following him down the street because they saw he had a knife in his hand. Laquan popped the police cruisers front tire with blade but they did not shoot at him. Then four additional cruisers arrived which one cruiser Jason Van Dyke was in. When he got close enough to Laquan he got out of his cruiser and shot McDonald dead.
