This question is asked in the GLBT section quite a bit, but I think those who answer there (myself included) are a bit biased ; )

So what do you think about homosexuality and why do you think that way?

Please put some thought into this. I want to know whta people REALLY think. Thank you!

DEMONS WITH IN

With in her world, so dark and deep,
She shuts it out, no one to hear her weep
Here she hungers for the pain to end,
The sorrow, sadness, the hole to mend,
Deep, deep down, with in herself she hides,
Carrying emotions, what a rollercoaster ride,
No one sees the feelings when they take a look,
She keeps them guarded, they're a mystery book,
The infant helpless, the child craves love,
The adult seeks everything, keeping faith above,
The infant carressed, the child taught pain,
The adult to remember it over and over again,
To put a painful past to rest,
The adult must face the Demons best,
Accept, confront, battle and beat,
All the Demons her conscious meets,
Face them with a brave heart so true,
Hold them back, til the dragons are slain through

why doesn't harry show his memories to the ministry of magic in harry potter and the GOF when he returns fighting voldemort inside the pensieve. even if he dosent know how to, dumbledore could have helped him. he could've shown the memory to the ministry out of dumbledor's pensieve. and i know memories can be tampered with but that dosen't affect this situation becuase its too realistic to make all that up in your head. and i know there are a lot of 'what ifs' in harry potter, but this one isn't explained by j.k rowling.

Does anyone know how to find any producers/directors to audition for acts? If so please help. It would also do good if you told me how to locate him/her. But telling me about them is fine too.

With anger and fear
Along comes tears
Grinding Gears
Loud noises you hear

Chipped metal rust
Nothing but dust
Just pure gust
From outside water lust

The machines Reiteration
Moving Artifacts Transition
That only brings Eradication
Fear of an Insurrection

With the knowledge they could obliterate
Everything they locate
Everyone is disconsolate
The world is dilapidated

After you take a look at them maybe rate if you feel the fancy.
How could the composition etc. improve?

I wonder if anyone else has read this book or would have any idea of how I can find it. I have no idea what it is called or who wrote it! The book about a woman who one day decides to leave her family and go to live in an old cottage in the country and live by herself, off the land as much as possible. It is about her experiences on her own and how she manages. Things I remember from the book are that she cut her own hair after several years of just letting it grow wild and she had no mirrors so had no idea how bad she looked, she bought old furniture, never went into town , that kind of thing. After many years her daughter who was now grown up found her and went to visit and talk to her about how hurt she was that her mother left. That's most of what I can remember, I read the book when I was only a teenager but it has stuck in my mind all these years and I would love to read it again, I just have no idea how on earth I am going to find it. Any suggestions?

I mean the definition of heaven is eternal bliss. But wouldn't a person who spent a lifetime on earth getting to enjoy and behold things like suffering and work and payoff. And getting to enjoy things like casual sex and dirty jokes, and games of strip poker. Wouldn't going to a place where the people spent thier entire lives avoiding and condeming these pleasures, wouldn't going to a place full of these dry shites, and having to spend eternity there be hell?

Does philosophy reinforce religious belief, or does it cause us to turn a blind eye to it because we are misled into looking for answers from other human beings?
