Officially “New York Racing Association” an organisation that runs three New York State racetracks (Aqueduct, Belmont Park, and Saratoga) Most employees. For NYRA swear it really means “Not Your Regular Assholes”
To err is human, to really foul things up requires NYRA
An organization run by a bunch of egotistical maniacs who are in it to reach their own political agenda. Also run by people who protest the stereotypes against teenagers and children while reinforcing them through their uncivilized, vulgar attitude (particularly towards dissenters with their cause).
NYRA is a joke. It might mean more if it wasn't a gated community masquerading as an organization promoting civil rights.
An organization run by a bunch of egotistical maniacs that feel that they're the best thing to happen to Earth since sliced bread. Its community is run by moderators that act in an inconsistent, biased way -- picking favorites among users and visitors. The community members ostracize and gang up on people that don't agree with their points of view and opinions, which is funny, since this lawless, unbalanced community is supposed to be run by people that support freedom of speech and thought. An organization with executives that hide behind the corporate entity while using verbal guerrila tactics to overcome those that disagree with them. An organization that's so full of itself that they've defined themselves in an open-source encyclopedia. Oh, well. If I was starved for attention and attempting to silence my few damaging opponents, I might make a desperate cry for publicity, too. An organization associated with a movement where one of its major influential people, Josh Gilbert, committed suicide. Gee, I wonder why?
One look at the vulgar nature of the communication within the community will turn any neutral adult into an ageist. The immature behavior of NYRA's members just reinforces the stereotypes that youth are indecent people that act before thinking carefully about their actions. Yeah, so let's have NYRA just wipe out the voting age and drinking age. What's left? Way to plan our future, idiots! "You're just not that important..." - Scott Davidson, a NYRA director, to someone who held skeptisism to the approach of the current youth rights movement Assenter = Person exercising freedom of speech Dissenter = Ageist bigot that writes libel Freedom of speech is more than the freedom to write the "F" word a lot.
She is a loving and caring person who is always there for her friends but there could be a bad side if you do the wrong thing to her. She will make you feel sorry. Other than that she is one of the best people to talk to and can always rely on her to help you or get you happy . #1!!
Nyra is the best!!!
A strong, persistent girl with an amazing sense of humor. A natural leader, she is smart, witty, compassionate, and always does right by others. She is the life of parties, and loved by everyone who knows her.
Friend 1: We need a student body leader who will actually care about our issues and do something about implementing changes around here. Friend 2: I know someone - Nyra sounds like the perfect candidate for this!
