- Here's some insight: You are gay! If you are not interested in other men and women, it means, quite simply, that you're in love. Good Luck. I hope he feels the same.

Haven't you ever heard of separation of Church and State?? Politicians make the laws, and if you think for one minute that politicians are a bunch of honest, church-going Christians, than you're even more delusional than I thought. Thank God for that separation or we'd end up being lead by a bunch of closet-Nazis like George 'I love executing Black Folks' Bush. Now there's a fine example of a Jesus touting, bigotted hypocrit. I'm sure he's a fine role model for the rest of YOU Christians. You're only 17, it's not too late to develop some ideas for yourself.User Detail :

I mean, to a certain extent you might be able to understand the concept of certain things being referred to as myths. For example, we know that the sun doesn't rise and set because of the sun god riding his chariot across the sky. As far as questions regarding Christianity (or any other religion), I think people always believe that their religion is the one true way of thinking. Personally, I was brought up in a completely religion-free household, but over time did my own research. I have found that I identify more with Judaism than any other religion (although I haven't taken the "plunge" and converted...). To me it's a very personal decision, and I think that you don't have to believe another's beliefs but at least respect them.User Detail :

Of course there are guys out there who are intelligent, witty, don't care about looks, or quite possible like overweight women. High school is definitely tough, but believe me, there are guys out there who will love you for who or whatever you are. When I say that you are at an advantage, look at it this way: I feel that most of the guys out there who are only concerned with looks are usually pretty shallow and generally insecure. If you feel that you maybe aren't exactly Cindy Crawford, at least you know right off the bat that your guy goes for what's on the inside. I firmly believe that there is a match out there for everyone. Be picky, though. Don't take the first thing that comes along just because you feel hopeless. It sounds like you've got a lot going for yourself, and you deserve to wait until you find what's best for you.User Detail :

I am white. I have dated outside my race/ethnicity. I would prefer to marry someone of my own race simply because I usually have more in common with them. There has been such a rebellion against same-race relationships that it seems if you choose one, you are automatically labeled a racist. I prefer men with dark hair. Does that make me a biggot? I prefer men with brown eyes. Am I prejudiced against the blue eyed? Hey as a matter of fact, maybe I'm just a chauvinist because I date men. I mean I should give equal opportunity to men and women, right? There is nothing wrong with having a preference! It becomes a problem when people try to impose there own preferences on everyone else. I would never tell my child which race or ethnicity to date or not date. It's a personal choice, but IT IS A CHOICE. If you choose to date within your race that is your perogative, but it doesn't make you a racist. Most people prefer to date their 'own kind.' Maybe they want someone who can cook the foods their mother made, maybe they want someone who shares the same religious values, whatever the reason, it isn't a cause for anger. And to respond to a black and white couple having an 'entirely black' or 'entirely white' baby, that's just wrong. You are made up of BOTH parents regardless which one you may resemble more or identify with more. To deny either side is simply self-hatred.User Detail :

So, I guess by playing the videos, the stations definitely undermine whatever positive messages they attempt at getting across.User Detail :

Our parents, teachers, whoever, guide us, but final decisions on how to act and who to be are made by us. That's what sets us (humans) apart from all other creatures, machines, etc. - the fact that we can reason. I would hate to think that humans are just a product of good or bad programming. Can you honestly say that you are?User Detail :

If you want to think of it that way, why would a normally straight woman go to a female doctor? The fact is there is absolutely nothing sexual in a gynecological exam. I choose a doctor based on their knowledge and experience. My gynecologist delivered my aunt's children, and she said he was very good. So, I went to him. I felt comfortable because he was very professional. I'm sure there are doctors out there, male and female, who may think something sexual during an exam, but I believe that stat would be about one in a million. The gynecologist's office is not full of women who look like Pamela Anderson. Many times people so to the gynecologist because they are having a problem - like a sexually transmitted disease or something. I have to believe that, knowing the types of things a gynecologist must see in a day, there isn't a whole lot of sexual thought going on in the office.User Detail :
