  • Saw a bug I never saw before, what could it be?

    Yesterday I was standing outside my house and saw something floating through the air. But then I noticed it wasn't floating, it was flying, erratically at that. I stuck my arm up and it landed on it. Now the bug looked like a white wisp. Kinda like something that would fall off a dandelion. White and fluffy. It crawled on my hand for a minute then flew away. I was just wondering what kind of bug this was. Oh I live in the Chicago land area of Illinois, in the United States of America. Thanks for any help.

  • Gay pride parade question......?

    Ok so I know someone is going to get offended but gotta break some eggs.

    So in chicago and other cities there are these gay pride parades. But at least in chicago they are not very prideful. It's like mardi gras and the southside parade (southside irish parade in chicago is a huge drunk fest) combined. I understand it's getting the issue out there, but this does not seem to me the way to get rights. I am supportive of gay marriage and gay adoption. Especially gay adoption, every kid deserves a home. But I feel that all these other races, nationalities , and creeds went through so much with protests, sit-ins, marches, and hard work to get there rights. Why is this parade called gay pride, not gay have a good time. I feel the pride parade should show what the gay community does for the nation and world. Not what that the gays can have fun too. SO, question, why does it not seem prideful and why do they not use this time more responsible.

    Not gay

    But supportive

  • Why does my boss say he is.....?

    a preacher. And then use that to justify his actions. Like I'm a preacher and I think it's ok so it is. Or I'm a preacher and my god pays his bills so they should pay them right when they are due no excuses. But his church went bankrupt , so technically he isn't a preacher because he is not preaching anywhere. And he says stuff like we will get this resturant to be our caterers, but instead of charging the customer (we are a hotel) the actual price we will bump it up 15%-25% so we can make a profit for doing nothing. I understand many companies may do these things, I just don't feel it's right to say one thing and do another. So my question is why? Why does he say these things if they seem wrong or dishonest. Why does he not see a situation and help rather want to make money? Just very confused.

  • Question about the christian antichrist.....?

    Will he be the "evil" counterpart to jesus? SO will he not realize his true calling till he is 30. Will he be half human and half devil? Will he go through philosophical debates inside himself. Will his human side not want him to do these horrible things that he was made to do? Will god come to him on a mountain top and ask him to stop his war on earth? Will he accept , can he accept to stop. Basically if he is half human will he show the good side of humanity as jesus showed the bad side in the church with the whip? Just wondering?

  • I have a very deep voice and?

    was wondering can some or any deaf people, hear me in a sense. I always wondered if my voice is deep enough that they will hear the vibrations or would I have to be like Ton-e- Loc (sang wild thang, and funky cold madina) or something? I always hear deaf people can hear or more feel vibrations so that is where this is coming from.

  • Is this section just who is the best...?

    BS'er. I mean no one really has the answer. Both sides kinda try to put there best guess forward, and a best guess answer is just BS. I mean the atheists try to prove an apple exists by showing you and orange, and the theists try to prove an apple exists by just saying, it does or I believe it in my heart it's an apple. Both sides can never, ever prove there statement. Atheists say they use logic, but logic would say this is something you can never prove or disprove, so move one. Theists try to prove it by using what they call "truth" or "the word" but yet there isn't much truth or word that is the same from religion to religion or even within the same sect. If god is real why do so many religions differ, and if he's not then why do so many people believe. More of a rant than a question, but I guess the question is. Whats the point? If god is or is not real, would that change anything? So what is the big deal?

  • Why does god get mad?

    So god is the most powerful thing, well ever according to a lot of religions. But why does he get mad when we are fooled by the devil. I can understand why he might be sad or something, but the devil is smarter then any human. He almost fooled jesus, who was half god. I'm full human, how can I stand a chance against the devil. So why does he get mad. If he is smarter than us, he would see the flaw in his design. If this was a game, it would be unbalanced, the "AI" is way to smart, you can never win. So why does he get made when we get fooled by the devil and sin because the devil took advantage of our ignorance?

  • If god created everything ever?

    then why when you ask someone where do they see god on earth they say a flower or a sunrise. God created down syndrome kids, and mushrooms, and ugly ducklings. So why is it only the beautiful stuff that god creates?

  • Are other races like this?

    am a 27 year old third generation polish american, so American. But I have a real problem with white people. Not all but most. So many white people have this false sense of entitlement or power and I hate it. I work at a hotel and I see a large variety of cultures and races. But the worst are the white people. One of the most hated things is that they feel because I am a tall, large, white man I'm racist. They feel it's ok to tell me racist jokes, or talk about the people from china in the lobby. I am at work so I can not give them the, your a douche bag and I'm not a bigot just because I am white, and this shows how racist you are by assuming this. They also feel that if a black person gets and upgrade that because I'm white and there white I should give them one or a better one then the black person. I hate this. Or they blame black people for taking there jobs or causing all the crime. Or they blame mexicans for taking all the jobs ( that usually the people saying this would never work the jobs they are taking in a million years, just one more thing) and causing all the crime. It's crap. White people had cultural power for over 1000 years and your ancestors couldn't save anything? Sorry for the rant, but do other races feel this way about there own race or is it just mine, and further more is it just me and not other white people. Oh and one last thing I dislike, white people say all this stuff on this section, other websites, that is so racist, but none of them would go to MLK or California Blvd. and say these things. Cowardess. A question adn venting.

  • "Old man look at my life, I'm a lot like you were."?

    It's a song, and I was just wondering, am I a lot like you were (i'm 27). Does the music and the cloths just change, or is it the attitude too. Also how did you view the seniors when you were 18 or 27. ANd how does that effect your view of yourself as a senior and the younger generations. Just a young kid with a wondering mind.

  • Maybe someone in this section can help.....?

    I have asked this in other sections and no one really knows the answer. Ok so here is the rundown. About 1 1/2 years ago, moved to new apartment. Neighbor had wireless. He said we could use it if we picked it up (unsecured network). Since our comp was not wireless capable we (fiance and I) went out and bought a Belkin wireless thumb drive to pick up the wireless signal. SO year or so went by. Economy went to poop, he didn't pay his bill. So when we try to sign on to his signal "zach" it comes up with this Comcast page, saying if your a customer how to pay your bill, or get your internet up or if your a Comcast technician.So then instead of signing on to my neighbors network I sign on to "belkin45g" and I have internet. I don't just have internet I have pretty fast internet, fast and strong enough to play a FPS on my PS3 with minimal to no lag.

    Additional internet info. We have many secured networks in our apartment complex. Other networks are pretty strong signals. I have just really been wondering how I have internet. Hope you can help. Thanks.
