“Growing up, I wasn't allowed dolls, and my brothers weren't allowed guns. I inherited my brothers' clothes. I was never dressed in pink, and they were never dressed in blue; there were none of those rules that people still bizarrely subscribe to.” PeopleStillsGrowing UpGrowingBrotherClothesGunBlueMy BrotherDolls Author:Natascha McElhone
“After about midday my dad sent cars from his private collection for us. We were told to get in. We had almost lost contact with my father and brothers because things had got out of hand. I saw with my own eyes the [Iraqi] army withdrawing and the terrified faces of the Iraqi soldiers who, unfortunately, were running away and looking around them. Missiles were falling on my left and my right - they were not more than fifty or one hundred metres away. We moved in small cars. I had a gun between my feet just in case.” HandsEyeRunningFacesFallFatherLostLeftMy OwnCasesSawsFeetCarBrotherDadHundredGunArmyMovedMy DadSoldierContactFiftyCollectionsRunning AwayTerrifiedMissilesWithdrawingFather And Brother Author:Raghad Hussein
“In high school, my friend and I discovered that your cable-access station had to let you do whatever you wanted - it was like the Wild West. We made a couple weird things, like a tribute to the Zucker brothers, where we had a panel discussion about the Naked Gun movies. We wrote a script and made jokes that I'm sure were terrible and showed clips of The Naked Gun without permission.” MadeWantedSchoolBrotherCoupleTerribleJokesGunHigh SchoolMy FriendsWestScriptsAccessNakedDiscussionStationsPermissionCablesTributeWeird ThingsClipWild West Author:Michael Schur
“In countries like Afghanistan, the corruption is in your face. In Nigeria, I heard of judges making sex the bargaining chip rather than money. Now let's put that in the context of an honor-based society. Imagine that you're the brother of a woman who got raped by a judge to have her case heard in court. What do you want to do? You want to kill the judge. So here is an insurgent movement that hands you a gun. You have rage, and they give you an outlet for your rage.” GivingCountryImagineBrotherJudgingGunCorruptionRageYour FaceAfghanistanImagine ThatNigeriaInsurgent Author:Sarah Chayes
“I've never been the battle guy that people perceive me as. I don't even want to battle. I take it to the people, man. I say what I got to say. You know what I'm saying? I'm like the guy that has the gun and shoots you when you try to rob him, you know? I don't really pull out the inches and try to shoot the brothers.” PeopleMenTryingGuyBrotherBattleGunPerceive Author:LL Cool J
