According to many psychologists and psychiatrists, homosexuality is not a sickness. However, many Christians refer to homosexuality as "something that is not natural". Most Christians believe that it is just curiosity at a certain stage of life that leads a person to become homosexual. If a psychologist is Christian, what do they say to their clients? On one hand, their profession tells them that homosexuality is not a mental disease. On the other hand, their religion tells them that homosexuality is against the nature. Although I understand that most professionals in this field can seperate between work and their own religion, there are conflicting roles and conflicts of interests. Do psychologists support their gay clients or are they against them?

I heard my supervisor talking about me. What he said doesn't make sense and was not true? He doesn't like me for untrue things? I don't get it. Do you?

He said he doesn't like me for being a very nice person and for being very rich.
I am a nice person. However, I am not financially rich.

I was wondering what the majority of women think about men who use sex toys?

There are numerous sex toys available for women, and their use is generally considered as acceptable, but it almost seems taboo for men.

I am so shy that I even sometimes avoid entering a store if there are no other customers because I don't want to be the focal point of the sales persons. I avoid as much direct personal contact as possible. This is harming my professional career. I like to write as this does not need face-to-face communication. How do I overcome my shyness? There is, by the way, no reason for me to lack confidence as I am confident about by own abilities. Yet I still have this fear of being belittled or laughed at, or simply looked down upon.

Although many people have asked this question, i didn't find a solution in the answers they got.

Some people said u should have a pen and paper ready to write ur dreams the second u wake up. The problem is, the second I wake up, I don't remember anything, as if I didn't have any dreams. But i'm sure at least sometimes I dream, and still don't remember.

I heard that some people remember their dreams right after they wake up because their subconscious mind is still awake. Is it possible that MY subconscious mind goes inactive the very moment I wake up?

I'm pretty sure I have social anxiety disorder. For some reason lately in the morning during first class I'm especially shy, to the point where it is pathetic, everybody thinks I'm so pathetic because of it, even the teahcer, but by second class I'm at least able to function, not great, but I'm able to associate with people without it being completely awkward, but first class early in the morning I'm just pathetic, just terrified of it. It's only recently too. I've had SAD for quite a while but it really started affecting me at this time of day,

Sure, a woman might run for presdient in 2008. We have women in the military. Med schools, and other professional school are now at least half women. But what about today's children?
It's one thing to say that pop culture has elevated the likes of Britney Spears to roles models. But, much more concerning, is the latest trend to label every positive powerful female role model as either a B%$^& or a lesbian -when they are not either. (I mean no disrespect towards lesbians. I would hope that they would be angered that their lifestyle is being used as a term of slander.)

Some examples I've seen in the papers:
Hillery, Martha Stewart, most female CEO's- B&$#@'s.

Oprah, Sec. of State Rice, women athletes -lesbians.

I hope I am wrong.
If I am wrong, tell me why. If I am right, what can we do about it?

Please, serious answers only.

I need to track down an 18 month forecast for the unemployment rate in the U.S. It should extend out to June of 2008.

Does anyone know where I can find one for free? I have found some, but they are only for 6 months and not what I am looking for.

Any guidance here is appreciated.
