Why hasn't evolution eliminated homosexuals? Is it because homosexuality is really a choice one makes, or because Darwinism is a fallacy?

So i'm 17 and going to start the begining of a new era in my life when college comes around. I'm really struggling to find out what i want to do as i get older. My Indian family tells me to go into medicine but i know they just want me to make money and they have no care for my interests. I love music and i want to be a producer or at least make beats, but i have no clue how to get started. Not only that, i can also sing fairly well for never taking lessons or being apart of a choir. I consider myself fairly intelligent and a dedicated worker but i dont know what path to take in order to be successful. can anyone help me figure out what to do? ----->THANX<------

How do you keep trying again, when every time you have a dream it ends up getting destroyed (whether through someone else's actions, fate, whatever)? How do you not give up?
I'm tired of it & can't take another dream gone...

hi...i'm a 24 yr old woman. i recently married my bf of 7 yrs...i had moved in with him when i turned 18 and got pregnant within a month. i was studying at that time and didn't want anything to tie me down. so i aborted the baby without telling my bf. now i'm quite well-settled in life and i married the love of my life. i couldn't hold it to myself anymore and told him that i had aborted our child long back. he was very angry.....i just blew his mind. he's upset i did that and said that i didn't even think once of asking him before doing it. i know wat i did was wrong and am ready to make it up to him....he's just too angry with me to even listen. wat do i do?
one more thing...i've been off the pill for 2 months now and have still not conceived. how long does the pill take to get out of the system? i'd really like to start a family now and make it up to him...how do i make him come around?

Where is there to go? Who is there to talk to? They can give you tablets. They can offer councelling. But what do you do?

I alwasy hear of people who work at a job that they don't enjoy. I myself am the same way in that I spent four years studying something that I didn't want to become and am bored our of my mind doing my Job, but the pay is good and it is always easy to find another job(accouontant). How many of you are the same? Do you work in the field that you went to college for, and most importantly do you actually Love, or in the least like you job. I Don't!

Should it be used only as a last resort? Should anyone be allowed to divorce for any reason? What if there are children involved? How about the vow "...til death do us part?"

With our country's deficits and continued war spending I'm afraid the middle of 08' will bring a huge economic downturn. What can I do now to prepare? I have a 401k, and IRA and considerable savings. Should I be storing more cash than investments? Also, I came back from working in Japan last year and never exchanged my yen. I have about 10 grand worth. I was thinking of exchanging it but should I maybe hold on to it as a cash reserve as the dollar drops over the next years? What are some actions that can be taken now to lessen the hardship to follow? Serious answers please. I didn't study economics so I wonder what the academic predictions are?

My cousin is a captain, 29 yrs, in the army and to be honest, he's extremely childish. I wanted to get him professional help but he doesn't want to. He' extremely cocky but when confronted he gets really nervous and then, like a kid, bad mouths almost like as if her were to throw a tantrum. The reason I want to get him prof. help is because he's obsessed with guns and he's very temperamental. Do you think that his personality is a threat? Does his extreme childishness cause for the sudden weapons obsession (he even unregistered guns! brought back from Irak)?

hi...i'm a 24 yr old woman.....married for half a yr. my hubby is 27 and our marriage has all the ingredients it takes to make one. but we had an argument over something yesterday and it snowballed into a bad fight. my hubby is not the one to lose his cool easily but this time he's had it. i sulked all day and my ego didn't allow me to say a simple sorry. to be honest...i was the one to start the argument...i just meant it as a joke but it's gone too far. he ended up saying,"stop being childish.". i know i've been immature about it but he's been a little cold towards me since then...maybe too angry inside too. what do i do to cool it off? i need an unconventional idea...something which would really blow his mind off. plz temme a way to go about it? i can't handle this anymore and would hate to cry and make it dramatic. plz suggest some ways which won't keep him angry any longer.....plzzzzz.......

Lived in this valley for 7 years. Just a normal person. Although i'm not rich i take pride in how i look. I have a nice house and nice clothes. The rest are overweight wearing track suit bottoms and trainers to hide what they have. A town of subconscious overweight women. Most of them in bad relationships. Why is it that when i make a mistake they're all up in arms calling me names? Like they never did anything wrong in their lives? Why do they pick on me and make me feel like ****? What is wrong with taking pride in yourself? What is wrong with being a good person? What is wrong with caring about others? I did something bad last week and its spread around the whole town. One mistake is all it takes.
Is it jealousy or what? This has made me so damn unhappy its unreal. What is the ultimate vengeance for a town full of tracksuit bottoms and trainers?
And don't any of you even THINK of being cruel to me. I've had enough.

I was in my apartment and arguing with my parents because I wanted to go to my boyfriend's party who, in my dream, lived in the next apartment. I was finally allowed to go and the party went downstairs. I sat at a wooden picnic table when I look over to the lake I see sheep drowning. I get up and start to call for help but no one responded. I wanted to reach for the sheep but I didn't want to put my hands in the water because it was dirty. I ran off into the bathrooms where there were girls pampering themselves but not willing to help. I open the cabinets and get rubber dishwashing gloves which I knew would still allow water to come in over the rim but figured it was better than nothing and ran back out. The lake was deep and the edge was a built cement one. I reach over and look at the sheep and notice they are all plastic cups floating upside down on the water with sheep pictures on them. Then black things came swimming up to me and I had to retract my hands as they were "evil." -

This is going to sound like a strange question. What is it that causes some men to become violent towards their partner when she becomes pregnant. Homicide is one of the leading causes of deaths in pregnant women (Laci Peterson and Jesse Davis) in the US. Some studies have shown that domestic violence increases when a woman is pregnant. Can someone explain to me what goes through these guys' heads? Don't hold back. I really want to know.

There's this gal that I like and I've told her how I felt last year, but she said she just wanna be friends. However, recently I feel that she puts more interests, except that in this year's students retreat she showed a totally different behavior. She was rather unwell during the retreat and had to take antibiotic. But they are complete opposite to what she had shown some time ago. She was friendly and teased me and seemed to be interested, lots of eye contacts. But now, she seemed rather cold, distant and quiet. What actually happens? But she talks to other boys, but seems rather quiet with me. She also did not reply to my text yesterday (and only asking about schoolwork), unlike previously. But, what have I done wrong that these few days it’s all messed up? It’s just that I am too quiet with her and rarely approaches her and I was very busy with the retreat. Today at school, she was about to hand me a bag that I had ordered from the student’s council, but she was just like kept silent and put it on my table (I was so quiet shy with her and I was reading a novel at that time). She talked to my best friend though, and when we had eye contacts, it seemed that her face expression is a bit ‘closed’, expressionless, neutral. And it just happened in this one week! Does it necessarily mean that she hates me? What may cause such a sudden change? But her friends still teased me and her.
