No I did not. The guy claiming Chicago to be "the best cosmopolitan city" did. He said something about racism being non-existant in Chicago and I quoted Chicago Tribune claiming the city to be the most segregated in the US. I have why he brough it up in the first place but had to respond to this statement knowing what I know about Chicago. Now, who should I believe? The poster or Chicago Tribune?

Pretty much. Demands drives supply and since people of Chicagoland consist mostly of unemployed housewifes and hicks they are supplied with appropriate entertainment. Oprah, Springer and Playboy, Chicago's contribution to the world's culture! Pathetic.

Simple question - who's the President of the United States? Check Wikipedia. The defense rests.

What was the first capital of the US or better what is the capital of the world?

Philly was. Atleast that's where the White House was located.

Nope, originally the capital was in NYC where George Washington was inaugurated.

I didn't look it up. But I knew the 'first' White House was in Philly.

A guy born in Hawaii who went to school in New York (Columbia) and Boston (Harvard) and now lives in Washington? What does it have to do with anything?

How about Van Buren, Fillmore and both Roosevelts?



Try again.
