Did you ever take a person less seriously because of their accent?

I can't deal with Bahstan accents either.Originally posted by Barnabas View PostIn the rest of the world it is believed that smart Americans live in the New York, Boston and Los Angeles area. Or perhaps that is how it was decades ago."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Just so you know, Barnabas, Boston isn't even relevant. It's a small city that doesn't even have a million people in it. In fact, it's the 22nd biggest US city by population between Baltimore and Seattle. In comparison, Philly is #5 in population, behind only NYC, LA, Chicago, and Houston."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

Why doesn't it sound dumb? Why do Jersey and Philly sound dumb and New Yorker doesn't?Originally posted by Asher View PostBecause they lived and worked in NYC and it doesn't sound dumb, it sounds New Yorker.
Your whole logic is NYC accent isn't dumb because you've known smart investment bankers with that accent. Meet some smart people with Philly or Jersey accents (like that technical guy you made the thread about) and you'll be changing your tune."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

Harvard Admissions Info
So only 15% are in-state... what percentage of that are actually from Boston? Really, I bet maybe a few percent at most of Harvard students are actually from Boston.Out of state students: 85%"Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

The accents I don't take seriously are Deep South accents, and ghetto black accents. People who talk to me like that have literally 0 change of being taken seriously or getting anything they want from me, because I automatically assume they have a low double digit IQ.Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/DaveDaDouche
