Quote:No, I'm sorry to have to tell you, JNG, that you're incorrect.

 

It's not ideology that leads me to state what I did, it's simply reality.

 

I've never heard of someone being fired for their southern accent, while people being persecuted being a homosexual is a sadly common occurrence. If you don't believe me just do a search on Google.

 

So, my point was if you hear something reasonable it's not out of line to think it plausible. I still would want to see some documentation about someone fired for being gay, but I wouldn't believe they're lying from the start. However, someone fired for having a southern accent is so unusual that I'd believe it to more likely be a persecution complex on the part of the person who was fired in a dearth of documentation.

 

Now, if you don't understand what I'm saying here you might want to take a step back and clear your mind, then copy what I wrote, place some generic placeholder terms such as "unheard of event" and "very common event" in the southern accent and being gay sections and read them again. That might help.

 

I'm not even arguing about homosexuality, so that topic of conversation is irrelevant. 

 

Your ideology is your "reality". I suppose everyone that disagrees with you is wrong too, huh?

 

Again, because you didn't "hear of it", it doesn't mean it hasn't happened. That excuse doesn't justify your opinion that it hasn't happened. Are you saying that it never happened? Ever? If not, you're really underestimating people's stupidity? If so, you're whole entire point is now irrelevant since someone believing the topic of conversation is now plausible (by your own admission). It doesn't have to be a trend to possible.
