As someone who lives in a horrible country, where I'm constantly afraid for my safety and has tried to move to a better country legally and got turned down, a world without borders sounds like the solution to all my problems. 
For that I'm having a hard time seeing the flag smashers and Karli as the 'villains' in the show. Their methods may not always be the best but their cause is good and is right.
Are they really supposed to be the ones in the wrong? Does only people who were born in terrible countries see what I'm seeing it?

I'm hating this Angie/donor storyline.
If she has a half sister then she does has a father and by that I feel like she's invalidating her real parents and she keeps making them out to be the villains.
Like her donor didn't want her to know about him, not Bette and Tina, they promised the donor anonymity, they were just keeping their word to him.
And now she wants to give an organ to this guy that she never met before and if her mothers don't agree with her they are on the wrong? No, just no. Bette has every right to say no, that's a crazy idea.

Just prior to his senior season, the Indiana High School Athletic Association (IHSAA) ruled that he had no more high school eligibility left (due to completing eight semesters between the Bahamas and Indiana) and was not allowed to participate in any IHSAA games. Despite not playing his senior season, Fox was voted onto the Indiana All-Star team in 1987.

In the playoffs, Fox played all 23 games as the Lakers advanced to the 2000 NBA Finals against the Indiana Pacers. In the Finals, Fox averaged 6.7 points, including 11 in the Lakers' game 1 victory. In game 6, with the Lakers leading the series 3-2, Fox hit a critical three pointer in the 4th quarter to help the Lakers' final rally as they won the game and the NBA title, Fox's first.

In the 2002 NBA Finals against the New Jersey Nets, Fox averaged 9.8 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.5 steals as the Lakers swept the Nets in 4 games to win their third straight NBA title.
In the 2002–2003 season, Fox started in 75 of 76 games but suffered an ankle injury that kept him out of the last two games of the first round against the Minnesota Timberwolves and the entire Western Conference Semifinal series against the San Antonio Spurs.

Pavon appears to be like set for a transfer to Benfica, following the European path trodden by Angel di Maria – an apparent participant for comparability, and one who may quickly make approach for the younger pretender.

Conor McNamara: I’m commentating on the opening recreation of the World Cup, so I have been holding an in depth eye on Russia’s build-up. There’s a number of strain on the hosts, who will probably be hoping Miranchuk steps up as one of many stars. He may very well be their inventive inspiration.
Take heed to McNamara’s commentary of Russia v Saudi Arabia (kick-off 16:00 BST) on BBC Radio 5 dwell on Thursday, 14 June.
Steve Wilson: Russia are determined for somebody to galvanise the group to no less than a decent exhibiting as hosts.

An attacking midfielder with an eye fixed for purpose, Aleksei has developed effectively since his transient look in final summer time’s Confederations Cup.
4. Breel Embolo (Switzerland)

Alistair Bruce-Ball: Azmoun scored 11 targets in 14 video games in qualifying and has a implausible strike fee of 23 targets in 32 worldwide appearances.
Iran are superb defensively – Carlos Queiroz’s facet stored 9 consecutive clear sheets of their closing spherical of qualification video games – however, if they will progress in Russia, they should rating with the few possibilities that come their approach.

John Murray: Good issues are anticipated of this tall, two-footed midfielder who has simply completed his first season with Juventus and solely made his senior worldwide debut in October 2017.
I am anticipating Uruguay to do effectively and, in the event that they do, Bentancur might effectively get his probability to shine.

I watched him play towards Manchester United within the Europa League final yr, when he was being tracked by Premier League golf equipment previous to his transfer to Monaco from Anderlecht. It’s simple to see why – he has all of the attributes, approach, imaginative and prescient and supplies actual drive from midfield.
13. Ismaila Sarr, Senegal
Age: 20 Place: Ahead Membership: Rennes (France)
Sarr is from the identical ‘Technology Foot’ academy in Senegal that produced Liverpool’s Sadio Mane. In addition to claiming he rejected Barcelona, Sarr was linked with Newcastle and Borussia Dortmund earlier than becoming a member of Rennes final summer time
Steve Wilson: A left-sided attacker who’s drawing inevitable comparisons to countryman Sadio Mane, Sarr has fought again effectively from a critical tendon damage in September 2017 to make the £15m Rennes paid Metz for him seem like cash effectively spent.
Sarr selected Rennes and common soccer forward of a transfer to Barcelona, which should have been a tricky however level-headed alternative. If he does in addition to many anticipate in Russia, then one other queue for his signature will probably be forming.
14. Uros Spajic, Serbia
Age: 25 Place: Centre-back Membership: Krasnodar (Russia)
Spajic joined Anderlect for £2m from French facet Toulouse in 2017, after spending a yr on mortgage with the Belgian facet
Ian Dennis: Spajic turned 25 this yr so is a little bit older than most on this checklist, however stays a superb prospect and I used to be shocked he lately headed east – he is simply signed for Russian facet Krasnodar for 7m euros from Belgian facet Anderlecht.
A reliable, courageous centre-back who is nice within the air, he’s a participant who’s alert to hazard and in addition completely happy to place his physique on the road.
15. Maxi Gomez, Uruguay

'El Chucky', 'The Sergeant' & 'The Bull' - the youngsters to watch at the World Cup
World Cup 2018 on the BBC Host: Russia Dates: 14 June – 15 July Live: Coverage across BBC TV, BBC Radio and BBC Sport website with further coverage on Red Button, Connected TVs and mobile app.
We already know about the superstars who could light up the 2018 Fifa World Cup, but what about the next generation of talent?
Few of the 736 players who could feature in Russia can be classed as total unknowns but there will still be some unfamiliar faces looking to announce themselves on the global stage.
Here, BBC Sport’s TV and radio World Cup commentators pick out the 15 young players from outside the Premier League who are worth watching out for this summer.
1. Hirving Lozano (Mexico)
Age: 22 Position: Winger Club: PSV Eindhoven (Netherlands)
<!–
Steve Wilson: With 19 goals and 11 assists in 34 games, Lozano’s statistics in PSV’s Eredivisie-winning season – his first campaign in Europe – show the potential he showed at Pachuca is now being fully realised.
Having played his way into Mexico’s Confederations Cup team last summer, he scored in a 2-1 win over Russia before the semi-final defeat by Germany. His brace in a 3-3 draw in Belgium in November was another headline-grabbing performance from a forward who can play on the right or left of a central striker.
Jonathan Pearce: Lozano is a brilliant, fiery prospect and could well light up these finals – he has searing pace and loves to roll in off the left to score with his favoured right foot.
As well as his goals at club level, he has seven strikes in 27 senior internationals for Mexico, which is a good return for a young player.
There’s a catch – he was sent off twice for PSV this season and for Mexico at the 2016 Olympics – but he seems determined to make an impact one way or another.
2. Cristian Pavon (Argentina)
Age: 22 Position: Winger Club: Boca Juniors (Argentina)
<!–
Guy Mowbray: With such a stellar list of names ahead of him in the Argentina side, the Boca Juniors prospect might not get any game time in Russia – but if he does get off the bench it’s a chance to show he will soon belong in the best company.
Pavon looks set for a move to Benfica, following the European path trodden by Angel di Maria – an obvious player for comparison, and one who might soon make way for the young pretender.
3. Aleksei Miranchuk (Russia)
Age: 22 Position: Attacking midfielder Club: Lokomotiv Moscow (Russia)
<!–
Conor McNamara: I am commentating on the opening game of the World Cup, so I’ve been keeping a close eye on Russia’s build-up. There is a lot of pressure on the hosts, who will be hoping Miranchuk steps up as one of the stars. He could be their creative inspiration.
Listen to McNamara’s commentary of Russia v Saudi Arabia (kick-off 16:00 BST) on BBC Radio 5 live on Thursday, 14 June.
Steve Wilson: Russia are desperate for someone to galvanise the team to at least a respectable showing as hosts.
That someone may yet be the long-lauded Aleksandr Golovin, who went to Euro 2016 with great expectations that seemed only to prove a burden – or it may be the slightly older Miranchuk, who has just helped Lokomotiv win the Russian title along with twin brother Anton, who is also in the squad.
An attacking midfielder with an eye for goal, Aleksei has developed well since his brief appearance in last summer’s Confederations Cup.
4. Breel Embolo (Switzerland)
Age: 21 Position: Striker Club: Schalke 04 (Germany)
<!–
Ian Dennis: I first saw Embolo play four years ago when his FC Basel side beat Liverpool in the Champions League. As a teenager, he was raw but had electrifying pace to trouble defenders.
He left Switzerland in the summer of 2016 to move to Schalke but an ankle injury that October ended his first season in Germany prematurely.
Embolo still needs to add goals to his game but he’s a powerful striker and still only 21.
5. Renato Tapia, Peru
Age: 22 Position: Midfielder, centre-half, right-back Club: Feyenoord (Netherlands)
<!–
Radio 5 live football correspondent John Murray: Renato Tapia is a rising star, and a versatile one too. He has been schooled in Dutch football since he moved to Europe to join FC Twente in 2013 and is now at Feyenoord. Despite his age, he is an important part of a Peru team going to the World Cup with form and confidence – and is viewed as a future captain of Los Incas.
6. Sardar Azmoun (Iran)
Age: 23 Position: Striker Club: Rubin Kazan (Russia)
<!–
Alistair Bruce-Ball: Azmoun scored 11 goals in 14 games in qualifying and has a fantastic strike rate of 23 goals in 32 international appearances.
Iran are very good defensively – Carlos Queiroz’s side kept nine consecutive clean sheets in their final round of qualification games – but, if they’re going to progress in Russia, they will have to score with the few chances that come their way. A lot of that will be down to Azmoun.
7. Achraf Hakimi (Morocco)
Age: 19 Position: Full-back Club: Real Madrid (Spain)
<!–
Steve Wilson: At 19, Hakimi already has winner’s medals from the Club World Cup and Champions League. He played at right-back in both Real’s matches against Spurs in the latter competition this season – and made 17 first-team appearances in all – but may start at left-back for Morocco in Russia.
Former Real boss Zinedine Zidane liked him so much he was happy to sell Brazil international Danilo to Manchester City. Enough said.
8. Andre Silva (Portugal)
Age: 22 Position: Striker Club: AC Milan (Italy)
<!–
Conor McNamara: Silva is still finding his way at AC Milan and was mainly used as a substitute last season in Serie A, but he was given more of a chance in the Europa League and scored six goals in eight starts in that competition in 2017-18.
So far in his international career he has averaged a goal every three shots, and apparently Wolves and Huddersfield are interested in bringing him to the Premier League next season.
Wherever he ends up playing his club football, Cristiano Ronaldo has already said Silva can be his long-term successor as Portugal’s main goalscorer.
9. Rodrigo Bentancur, Uruguay
Age: 20 Position: Midfielder Club: Juventus (Italy)
<!–
John Murray: Good things are expected of this tall, two-footed midfielder who has just finished his first season with Juventus and only made his senior international debut in October 2017.
I’m expecting Uruguay to do well and, if they do, Bentancur could well get his chance to shine.
10. Alireza Jahanbakhsh, Iran
Age: 24 Position: Striker Club: AZ Alkmaar (Netherlands)
<!–
Guy Mowbray: It would be a surprise if Carlos Queiroz can guide Iran out of the group stage above either Spain or his native Portugal, but in AZ striker Alireza Jahanbakhsh he has a player of quality who’s being linked with a move to the Premier League.
Sure, the Eredivisie isn’t the top level these days, but to finish as top scorer is still no mean feat – he’s following some major players to the honour.
A goal against one or both of the big guns in Group B might not get Iran through to the last 16, but it might get his Dutch club side a few more million euros later this summer.
11. Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Serbia
Age: 23 Position: Midfielder Club: Lazio (Italy)
<!–
Steve Wilson: Born in Spain, Milinkovic-Savic has been a great success for Lazio – scoring 14 goals from midfield last season – and is reported to be on Manchester United’s shopping list.
The 23-year-old has won both the Under-20 World Cup and the Under-19 European Championship with his country and is vying with Andrija Zivkovic of Benfica for the title of Serbia’s brightest young thing.
Alistair Bruce-Ball: He only has three caps for his country because the former manager Slavoljub Muslin didn’t pick him, much to the chagrin of the Serbian fans. Russia could be his chance to shine.
12. Youri Tielemans, Belgium
Age: 23 Position: Midfielder Club: Monaco (France)
<!–
Ian Dennis: This 21-year-old midfielder might go under the radar behind Belgium’s big names, only four appearances in qualifying but has clearly been noticed by a lot of scouts.
I watched him play against Manchester United in the Europa League last year, when he was being tracked by Premier League clubs prior to his move to Monaco from Anderlecht. It is easy to see why – he has all the attributes, technique, vision and provides real drive from midfield.
13. Ismaila Sarr, Senegal
Age: 20 Position: Forward Club: Rennes (France)
<!–
Steve Wilson: A left-sided attacker who is drawing inevitable comparisons to countryman Sadio Mane, Sarr has fought back well from a serious tendon injury in September 2017 to make the £15m Rennes paid Metz for him look like money well spent.
Sarr chose Rennes and regular football ahead of a move to Barcelona, which must have been a tough but level-headed choice. If he does as well as many expect in Russia, then another queue for his signature will be forming.
14. Uros Spajic, Serbia
Age: 25 Position: Centre-back Club: Krasnodar (Russia)
<!–
Ian Dennis: Spajic turned 25 this year so is a little older than most on this list, but remains an excellent prospect and I was surprised he recently headed east – he’s just signed for Russian side Krasnodar for 7m euros from Belgian side Anderlecht.
A dependable, brave centre-back who is good in the air, he is a player who is alert to danger and also happy to put his body on the line.
15. Maxi Gomez, Uruguay
Age: 21 Position: Striker Club: Celta Vigo (Spain)
<!–
Steve Wilson: With Edinson Cavani and Luis Suarez around, getting playing time for Uruguay is going to be the problem for Gomez, who has been a huge success in his first season in Europe with Celta Vigo.
A big-money move to Beijing Guoan which would reportedly have increased his wages tenfold stalled in January as Gomez got cold feet about China. He was wise to think twice – further fame and fortune are just around the corner.
