From what I hear the Dravidians were the orignial Indians (correct me if I'm wrong). They are the darker skinned people. So does that mean part of my roots could be someplace in Persia?

If not, then what drives us to want to have children?

(Sorry, I know I asked this question yesterday, but the response was really good and I'm keen to hear more opinions on this issue.)

I think it's perfectly normal for a young kid to think they can grow up to be famous. But most of the kids who post questions here want to be famous now. IMO that's another matter altogether. That's seems a bit sick to me. Especially when a kid gets lots of answers explaining why it's not realistic and then asks the same question over and over. The first time it can be chalked up to naivette. After that there's no excuse. Dumb adults invariably started out as dumb kids. I know plenty of adults who try and fail time and time again to get rich.
It never occurs to them they don't have what it takes and they never will. They live in a state of perpetual disappointment. It's
normal and healthy to fantasize. And lots of the kids who post here will get over the idea fast. But I think there are plenty of kids on here who are flat out delusional and will grow up to be the same way. Any thoughts?

Examples:

"How can I download such-and-such-a book?"
"How can I get published?"
"Should I put my writing online?"

and other variations of the above. Every single one of the above questions have been more than well-answered - If people take the trouble to look in the archives that is. These are just observations I have made in the Books and Authors section. Such repetition of question pushes other questions down and on to the next page, where nobody looks - sometimes I see a question with only one answer to it. I think that overall, this detracts from the Yahoo! Answers experience.

What do you think?

I feel like the quality of my life is suffering. I answer questions, get points, interact, but...nothing happens! It's not helping my real life offline, or at least, not as much as reading or socializing in person would. Should I swear Yahoo! Answers off completely, delete my account, and get on with it?

3 gunmen were involved in Robert Kennedy's assassination. 1 gunman fired from behind and 2 fired from the front.

Shooter #1(front): Man in the dark suit (fires two shots and runs off)

Shooter #2 (front): Sirhan Sirhan (fires 8 shots. None of them hit Kennedy)

Shooter #3 (behind): Thane Eugene Cesar (fires 3 shots. two of them hit Kennedy. 1 only goes through his clothing.)

Now, let's count the bullets.

Sirhan Sirhan = 8
Thane Eugene Cesar = 3
Unknown man in dark suit = 2

How many shots were fired? 13 shots!

heres her poem..
its a project

Change
One day a young woman passed by the sea
Full of shells and fish and sand.
Full of glee she was for she had seen
The beauty that came from God’s hand.

The design so simple yet so unique
Was seen on earth that day.
But what have we done to our own home place
And for the price we have to pay?

Throughout the years the earth has changed
From its original design
Inventions that have though to be progressive
Destroyed the earth so fine

Water has become from clear to black
The sky from blue to brown
Materials and waste that changed mother earth
Came from us and our own towns

Who should we blame for this destruction
To our own mother earth?
Only we are to cause this tragedy
from our own day of birth.

To change is hard and difficult
But it is for our own good
If we love our children and our children too
Persevere and unite , we should

people always says whats the meaning of life but think again whatever we go through in life that makes us happy even if we are suffering its still worth living for that moment being happy.

churning

Picture this then tell her tale
a dog barks and a shovel crashes into a pale

The fear that grows inside
will neither hinder or hide

your ability to keep your peace
your ability to pay your lease

it will destroy your joy
and kill for more

Your pleaseure becomes pain
and your pain becomes fuel

The only way to defeat this jewel

is by running and hiding
then running towards

to a place that not all animals can forge

Your signature in blood remains
then the cold vengence complains

of a warm victim it sees
to warm for it yet to seize

please run while you still can

save your self

and be free

from this dirty

old man.

I think of the band Muse, a song like "Sing for Absolution"
And also, who would you like to play Bella and Edward?
I was thinking Gaspard Ulliel and Danielle Panabaker.
I don't think Gaspard is too old to pass for seventeen, and I still am a bit unsure about who should play Bella, it's like no one's good enough, but I think Danielle would be alright.
But I don't like Emily Browning, sorry. (she is pretty, though) I think she would just be wrong to play Bella.
