I'm an Indonesian who's studying in Singapore. When someone asks me "Where are you from?" what should I tell? My place of birth or the place I"m living?

Would he say "Dammit! I wish I had never fixed that election" or maybe "Jeez I wish I had picked someone smarter"

Do you dislike church? Don't like how you look in your yarmulke? Catch yourself longing for a god to 'fess up to? Can't afford expensive ingredients for spellwork?
What *bugs* you about being *whatever* you are?

If this comes out sounding sort-of incoherent, I'm not doing it on purpose, but it may be a reflection of how I'm feeling at the moment--extremely confused. I'm gonna try and present the scenario in a way that won't leave you guessing, and I hope some of you will have some helpful feedback. Ok here goes:
Recently I've been having alot more contact with this particular girl, who I have known since last year, but didn't really talk to that often. Now that we are working closely together, on a regular basis, we've started up a friendship of sorts. The thing is, I know she's a lesbian, but I don't think she knows I know.
Because of this, I'm having a hard time reading some of her actions. I know lesbians are not attracted to every girl they see, the same in heterosexual relationships, but I feel like she's flirting with me all the time.
She's always around me, she's become more physical lately, she always suggests we hang out, do things together, or even as a group. She says she like bothering me, and she likes to mention alot that we have alot in common. Sometimes I catch her looking at me, or maybe I'm convincing myself that. When you turn your head and someone else's head turns all of a sudden, on more than one occasion, I think it's safe to say, they're looking at you.
Anyway, when we speak to each other we lock eyes for some time. She has asked for my number. I guess what is confusing me, is that I feel like she's dropping subtle hints. I feel she's being subtle because she thinks I don't her preference, and it really annoys me, cuz I wish she would be upfront about it. And when she drops these subtle hints, I always gather that she's trying to feel me out, see if I have some sort of interest in women as well. I always laugh them off because I don't wanna make her uncomfortable.
In one aspect I feel sorry for her because she doesn't feel comfortable coming out to me, but in the next instance, it's so frustrating, because, even though it's none of my business, I feel like if she's interested romantically, she should say it and stop beating around the bush...that's if she's interested. I guess that's where you come in and tell me what you think.
Today as I was saying goodnight to her, she was trying to initiate a conversation with me, and she jokingly brushed me off, so I stopped and asked her what was on her mind, and she was like nothing I was just gonna say and blah blah blah, we talk about school and stuff. She started getting really fidgety like she was kind-of embarassed that she had somehow let on that she may have been feeling me.
In summation, I really like her, I can't see myself having a sexual relationship with her...actually the thought of it right now is sort-of nauseating, but I enjoy her company and I can see us being really close friends, but I feel like I can't do it if she's playing around. I just need insight. Do you think she's attracted and how do you think I can handle this situation? Any input would be appreciated and even if you don't have any comment, thanks for listening to me ramble on. :)

"If God is All-Good and All-Powerful, evil should not exist. Therefore, either God is All-Good but can't stop evil because God is not All-Powerful, or God is All-Powerful but allows evil because God is not All-Good."

My Boss gets on a bus with her baby. The bus driver says: “That's the ugliest baby that I've ever seen. Ugh!” She goes to the rear of the bus and sits down, fuming. She says to a man next to her: “The driver just insulted me!” The man says: “You go right up there and tell him off – go ahead, I'll hold your monkey for you.”

I am a single parent. I did get pregnant by a black man, but I don't think all black men are runaway losers. Just the one I dated, LOL. Anyway, I know several black men who have sole custody of their children and do a damn good job raising them. I also know a LOT of black men who are not with the mother but take a serious interest and show deep concern for their children and will do anything for them. Just because only one person lives in the house, doesn't mean the other doesn't care. So why do the low life black men get all the attention by society and those good caring and loving fathers are considered few when they are out there in large numbers.

...when you are in a bad mood all you want is to be left alone. The last question I want to hear is "Are you okay?" or "What's wrong?" over and over and over again. I know they're just trying to help but it only makes me spiral deeper into bitter anger. Does anyone else share this sentiment?

Why would a so-called perfect god create a world of imperfection?

Assuming there were an all powerful, omnipotent, omniscient, god that decided it was going to create a 'world' (universe, cosmos, existence, what have you) would it even be possible for such perfection to be able to create inperfection? And why? If a 'perfect' being creates something imperfect, it makes itself imperfect by the very imperfect thing it has created.

Not how to achieve, not why it exist, not that it does exist...explain to me why eternal bliss is meaningful cause it doesn't look any more meaningful than being on heroin. Pleasure is still pleasure.

We as people dont say im euroamerican or hispanic american. but they have the term african american or black, white, latino. where one race and thats the human race so that makes us all related in a bibical terms. if your believe in the bible we are decendents from adam and eve so that makes us all related to each other.

Human beings are as simple as any other animal, the only difference is our self-concious- and our knowing of our own demise- fear of death- a dog may be afraid of another dog-why? because of pain and fear of hurting- but neither one of them are aware that by fighting it could be there last fight- same gos for every other animal besides us- We think that we are far more intelligent than other species, but we are not- religon, man created every god there has ever been written about- Do dogs know that there is a spiritual side to life- i dont think so- Fear of death, and the fasinaction with death feeled so many peoples heads back then that they dreamed of any possible meaning for us being here----evolution is fact- not to say from monkeys,we could be? but i believe from billions of years of the evolution of tiny organisms into fish, plants, and every other known and unknown species!!!!!!
