Apparently not as this thread has gone on and on as if it were fact.



Well, it's what was posted in the OP, so people discuss it from that perspective. That's generally how threads work.

I live in Houston. I know Webster. 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. Again, you could be right, but if people changed parts of the story to suit their argument, discussion would be impossible.


And thanks for clarifying the Iranian thing. Totally not the point of that statement, but I appreciate it.

Yes, generally, if it fits people's preconceived notions, they are completely unskeptical...and most never read the article.

I'm not going to unblinkingly believe that story on it's face...it was nearly preposterous in the first reading and after Puma posted the apt ownership statement it was obviously false.

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.

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

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?
