Did you ever take a person less seriously because of their accent?
Sure, but unlike your southern slander, that comment is totally true. It used to drive me crazy up there. All these ****ing turds "speaking" as fast as they could but saying nothing of interest. They seem to think they sound intelligent if they speak quickly. It's quite bizarre.

"I have nothing against Wilson, but he's nowhere near the same calibre of QB as Flutie. Flutie threw for 5k+ yards in the CFL." -Ben Kenobi
Because those people are not worth my time, of course. When I hear them talk, I know right away to save my time and move on.
Same deal when encountering someone wearing an AC/DC shirt or a Che Guevera shirt.
You just said NYers sound the same way but you've learned that they can be smart because you have met investment bankers with that accent.
How many times do I have to get through your thick skull that as soon as you know some smart people with Philly or Jersey or Baltimore or whatever else accents that you'll reconfigure your views just as you did about NYers?
And it's mind boggling to me how a Philly accent could sound retarded. You described it as ghetto gangster but apparently you don't know what that means because white people in Philly have the strongest Philly accents of all.

There ARE no smart people in Philly.

I rest my case.
"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
Ben Kenobi: "That means I'm doing something right. "
At least southerners who speak slowly dont attribute intelligence to their speech mannerisms. Thoughtfullness, perhaps, but not intelligence.
Intelligent people can comprehend what's being said, even if it's said at a high rate of speed.

Don't you ever have problems understanding rappers?
Never. I don't listen to rap.

Just to be clear, I'm not suggesting that all the people up in that area speak like that. I did note a correlation with those who felt there 'ivy league' education was worth more than a fiddlers fart.
I don't take Provost Harrison seriously. Not sure the accent is to blame though.
You'll take him seriously when you see him careening down the street while driving a car. (SCREEEEECH!)
Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.
