re: Apt Complex Requires Tenant To Remove US Flag - "Threat to Muslim Community"

Tran jumps to the "appease the Muslims" argument/whining. I wonder which Poli Board poster is Tran.

Well, it's what was posted in the OP, so people discuss it from that perspective.

Uh, no. Maybe if you are a moron that is how it works. Normally people try to find out the correct facts before discussing something.

Excuse me, normally that is the way many smart people at least have discussions. They rarely continue to be mad at an apartment complex after the facts have come to light and demonstrate that they were mislead by the original story.

quote:

---

I get your point, but you are still taking a story and deciding to just call it a lie rather than discuss it on it's face.

---

On its face, the apartment complex did nothing wrong and the person likely lied.

quote:

---

Again, you could be right, but if people changed parts of the story to suit their argument, discussion would be impossible.

---

Considering the apartment complex displays an american flag at their entrance, and their side of the story makes sense and the other persons story doesn't make sense, which one do you think is the correct one?

quote:

---

I doubt the people making that statement are the same ones who told him not to fly the flag.

---

Of course not, but the person who told him to take it down did so based on the Apt complex policy.

correct facts before discussing something

I've searched. You won't find anything other than the facts posted in the OP. Every other story is basically taking what I linked word-for-word.

The statement from the apartment complex does add something else to the story but really doesn't mention the conversation Mr. Tran had with their representative and doesn't deny his claims. It wouldn't make any sense for them to say anything else.

The assemblage of facts

So the statement from the apartment complex must be taken as fact?

You need to go frick yourself. I'll continue to talk to others who share your opinion but aren't so insecure that they feel the need to call others morons.

If you don't want this to happen it should be in the lease contract.

---

This.

You can't hold me to a contract, and them come back later and revise change it to suit you but still expect me to hold to the contract.


The lease agreement needs to outline the entire tenet/owner agreement. Owner can't come back later and say he has a different opinion or stance on something without voiding the agreement.

If the policy really is in accordance with the lease, I don't have a problem.

So the statement from the apartment complex must be taken as fact?

---

Its statement of policy? Yes.

And use common sense (a term I hate, but applicable).

quote:

---

Based on what?

---

Reality. The most likely scenario go have occurred. The story where you have to make the least number of outrageous leaps to make the story work.

quote:

---

We have one side of the story based on the conversation Mr. Tran had with the apartment complexes representative.

---

Which doesn't make sense.

quote:

---

We don't have a statement from that representative.

---

We have a statement from the apartment complex which makes total sense and says he can display the flag, but only following certain rules, which apply to situation like this.

This comment makes total sense.

quote:

---

Do you know all Muslims in the US?

---

Did I say this?

quote:

---

Would you say all Muslims are proud to be in the US?

---

Only a moron would even think I said that...

Oh, I am seeing a theme here...

quote:

---

Do you think any Muslims in this country hate the US?

---

That would be akin to asking if I think the person starting this thread is an unreasonable fool who bought into a ridiculous non story.

The same answer applies.

quote:

---

Is it possible for someone living in the US to still hate the country?

---

Same example and answer to the above.

But the fact is these questions are totally off the story and do not apply one bit to the situation being discussed.

quote:

---

Do US citizens of any kind ever do things that may appear hateful toward this country?

---

You have asked a number of question that have absolutely nothing to do with the situation.

quote:

---

Maybe they thought the size and placement of the flag was threatening?

---

Makes no sense.

quote:

---

I can't really explain someone else's thought process.

---

Look. We have a reasonable explanation. You are clinging to a totally unreasonable explanation. Now I will be the first to admit that sometimes the unreasonable thing is in fact the case, but those situation are the miracles.

You have a complex that displays an american flag. You state that they allow displays of patriotism. The guy in question says that the apartment complex said he had to take the flag down because it was scaring muslims. The apartment complex says no. The display of the flag did not meet the strict rules of the complex. The complex does not want the complex to look sloppy and cheap when trying t attract new renters. They said he could display it if he simply followed the rules that are in place.

Which statement do you think takes a tremendous leap of faith and defies logic? Oh maybe the one Tran said.

The statement from the apartment complex does add something else to the story

What does it add? Sense? The truth? Logic? A sound explanation to a ridiculous story?
