Since some people here are hell bent in saying that the U.S. wasn't suppose to be a melting pot, why the hell did all these people of different cultures and ethnicities come into play?
Before everyone all claims that the "white race" is superior and is what made America, maybe y'all should remember that we are people despite the color of our skin, what our background is... why say we don't belong when we are all just living to have all the same basic human rights? Is that too much to ask?

Where in the bible does it say that god "hates" gay people? Where in the bible does it say that god "hates" ANYONE? It only says that taking part in homosexual acts is a sin. But lying is a sin as well, and so is sleeping with someone outside of marriage. If God "hates" gay people, then he "hates" people who lie, or envy their neighbor's car, or have sex before marriage.

I know that MY God doesn't hate anyone.

My ex-boyfriend who I tried my best to remain friends with and who carried a torch for me for two years after we broke up took his own life the other day. I have been feeling immense amounts of guilt because he tried to ruin subsequent relationships in the hope that I would get back with him, which was never going to happen. He never truly moved on and became depressed. I never took it seriously, and now it's too late. His sister has told me that, whilst she and her brother and father realise that he was beyong help and it was in no way my fault, their mother feels I could have given him another chance and blames me for the death.
The thing is is that beneath all the sadness, he was actually a lovely guy and I feel I'd be doing him a great disservice by not attending. My boyfriend says I should go, but I don't want to cause more upset for his mother. What do you think? Any good advice would be most helpful because I don't know which way to go.

I was on the 77 bus making my way home from school in Cambridge, Massachusetts, there was a male passenger (probably between 30 - 40 years old), he'd say hello whenever he saw somebody come on the bus at every stop. It was clear he was a special needs person. I thought i'd talk to him a little bit. He had a soft-spoken voice with a good sense of humor. Some of the questions I'd ask him, he'd repeat the question a little, and he'd answer. Suppose I asked him "Are you familiar with the Salt and Pepper bridge?", he'd say "f'miliar wit Salt n'pepper b'idge? Yes, of course, blah blah blah". He works at a hotel in Boston as a man who cleans the room in the hotel. He would sometimes repeat at some questions I ask. I didn't know whether or not he was Autistic, or whether or not he had Echolalia, or Mental Delays.

I don't mean to offend, on the contrary.
For instance, people with different capacities, African-Americans, etc. Thanks in advance!

I went to fun factory yesterday with $1. I exchanged it for 4 tokens and used them in 2 minutes......I had nothing to do so I just walked around and pretended to be playing some of the arcardes. I was there for 11 hours and the supervisor told me that I had to leave. I told him that I'm a supervisor also, plus i'm a paying customer. He told me to go away twerp. I stayed outside near the hotdog stand for 5 more hours just to piss them off. Can I file a complaint?

And I don't feel like making up with her. Do you think this could mean that I just don't love her anymore?
I am a person who can fight with my lover and forgive the next minute or find a solution, but I just don't even want her touching me. I have felt this way lately and it just took this one fight to let it out. I live with her and cannot aford to move. I told her I just want a business relationship with her because all we do is fight about money. I love her but I have given up on hope of a future with her, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

At 37 I guess my body is starting to sag and go south. Yet I feel an urge towards the young man to love and cherish AND to lust with every bit of my heart.
But am I a waste of space?

Hi all,

This is my first question on YahooAnswers please help me out in any way you can.

I'm 22 years old and live in N.Ireland. I've been broken up with my girlfriend now 3 years after telling her I was gay. I'm a masculine fella and Christian so it's been a little difficult for me to adjust - as I'm hoping it's been for many other people (that may sound bad lol but I need the advice from them!)

I have gone out with a few fellas. Most unlike myself and only wanting sex, which ok every relationship might need.

Last week I made a decision - to stay celibate for the rest of my life. I know it'll be difficult and I'm worried about my young life passing me by and ending up an old man on my own and wanting someone when it's too late.

All I want in life is peace.. I don't really need sex.. I have a nice family, a few good friends and I'm a workaholic.

What's your opinion on my decision? Has anyone ever made the same choice?

Any help really appreciated.
Cheers.

Here's a synopsis: A girl and boy in their late teens meet on a deserted beach off-season. They talk and eventually become friends. After a time, the girl falls in love with the boy, and then discovers that he's gay. I have 2 endings. How would you end this story? BTW, part of it was posted on this site a few weeks ago.

Why do many black females on YA preface their snappy retorts with words like "Honey" or "Sweetie"?

Every time I see this, I visualize a black woman (or girl more likely) rolling her eyes and neck with one hand on her hip and the other flailing in the air with fingers snapping. Sort of like Shanaynay on the Martin Lawrence Show.

Are they just terms of endearment or is that their way of letting you know they are "putting you in your place"?

Just asking. Trying to understand.
