> I'm ashamed to admit I was put off at first by the heavy Chicago accent,

As someone with a thick NYC accent it's gratifying to see someone else with a rough appearance and thick accent dish out some knowledge. I only watched the video for a few min and already I see tattoos and hear cursing. Most people would probably write this man off as unintelligent and of low class. I myself have had to mask my accent in some situations as I've been told it makes me sound "common". (fuck you) And although I don't have any tattoos, I know plenty of people who look down on them. I worked for a guy who forced employees with visible arm tattoos to wear long sleeve shirts. It's amazing how many so-called progressive people still espouse classist bigitroy.

Oh, hmmm, appears I'm being modded down in response to a perceived attack on the GP, rendall. Wasn't my intent. The fuck you was a kind of "people who think like that can get fucked" and so was the classist remark. Nothing was directed towards rendall.

Hey, man. That sucks you're getting modded down. I didn't see it as an attack. I liked what you said.
