In the 1960's, New York created police vice squads that's purpose was to raid gay bars and baths. They began using decoys to solicit and entrap gays. By 1966 over 100 men a week were arrested as…

I strongly disagree that if the Spanish hadn’t conquered the Americas the Aztecs would be the most advanced civilization to date. If the Aztecs were still thriving today I think they would be advanced but not as advanced as the first world countries, they may be as advanced as either the third or second world countries. I also think that the weaponry that the Aztecs had would’ve evolved along time after everyone else evolved their weapons so that would make them vulnerable to attacks from…

War never changes. In John Reed's article "Whose War?" in April of 1917, he talks about the horrors of war and how people are so romanticized about the war that they miss that fact, the fact that people will die, the fact that their sons will not come home, or the fact that they will not come back the same man as they left. And for anyone who disagrees with the war is branded a traitor and un-American because that is what they believe. He talks about the irony that people who disagree with the…

“Everyone ready?” I didn’t want to begin the match prematurely. “All set.” Kyle, my older brother, seemed anxious to go. “Let’s go already.” Travis quickly turned impatient, as he always did. All of us have always loved Super Smash Bros Melee. It’s a game where you choose from a large variety of Nintendo characters and have them fight each other. I chose my favorite character Mewtwo. I always utilized his range attack, my brothers hated it. Kyle decided on Link as he preferred to inside…

History is no stranger to unexpected outcomes, especially when it comes to wars and battles. One notable example is the battle of Agincourt. The battle was a part of the Hundred Years War, which took place in the year 1415. The two combatants were the French and English. Their force compositions were vastly different. According to Enguerrand de Monstrelet, a French chronicler, the French forces out numbered the English by 6 times (de Monstrelet 340). Despite the overwhelming odds, the…

On the Height of Dispair Prologue: Pe Culmile Disperării I always wonder about the beings before the Gods that created us. What where they like? How did they live? Why were they born? And, what did they do that set the motion of time? Perhaps... they are Gods themselves? Beings far beyond my computational analysis system could predict? If so, then the archives about them are nothing more than shallow information. Incomplete data dug out from the ruins of the past. Or perhaps they're…

tournaments were a platform used for the knights to get a feel of battle before actually going into real war. It was also a great form of exercise to keep the knights in shape. Tournaments were military trainings directed to establish ability and bravery. Melée and jousting were the most popular forms of tournaments in the middle Ages. The connection between the tournaments and daily life were…

castle grounds. “Medieval tournaments were major spectator sport --much like large sporting events today.” (Knights: In History and Legend, pg. 102) During those tournaments they had a variation of competitions but the two most popular ones were a melee, a free-for-all ‘battle’ and the joust, two knights riding a horse had to knock his opponent of his horse. These tournaments/competitions were much like gambling today. You either could win everything in one tournament and amass a fortune or lose…

being incarcerated. Thus, leading to congestion and problems within the prison facility. This paper will discuss the purpose for prison overpopulation and what can be done to prevent and fix the problem. Overcapacity in prisons has been an ongoing mêlée for the longest time. But with every problem must come a solution. However, overcrowding in prison has been a long term battle. Things that were tried in the past still are not working now and overpopulation is at an all-time high. Nonetheless…
