Pinball was banned beginning in the early 1940s until 1976 in New York City. New York mayor Fiorello La Guardia was responsible for the ban, believing that it robbed school children of their hard earned nickels and dimes. La Guardia spearheaded major raids throughout the city, collecting thousands of machines.

Answer: Pinball used to be illegal. It’s hard to imagine but pinball was deemed illegal in 1942. Many people considered it a gateway pastime, a game of chance that appealed to children and would eventually tempt them into more serious forms of gambling.

First hand answer from someone that was actually alive during this time; my dear mother. She passed away last year at 103 years of life.

Does no one know about the religion of the Turkish boy and girl​
aksik [14]

Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who don't. The religions of the middle east are often misunderstood and misinterpreted. A lot of people don't know what Turkish religion is, how it is practiced, or its value. This is mainly due to prejudice and fake news.  

You can learn about Turkish religion by looking it up on the internet. I believe it is a variation of Islam. Islam is similar to Christianity, but they do not have a messiah. Because of this, they must live a life according to the words of Allah. What these words are depends on which religious group you are from. Some groups require women to be completely covered and men to be modest. Other groups focus more on prayer than image.
