Considering how much you denigrate women on here

You should all stop making insinuations meant to defend women or scrutinize men :idunno:

You libs aren't able to take what you dish out, and guess what? That's your own problem.
Stop crying about push back to your pushing :chuckle:

'Insinuations'? Such as?

Look dude, nobody besides yourself seems to take you seriously so what you 'dish out' is like being hit with a feather. Get a grip, go out and enjoy the view from outside the basement man. Seriously, it'll do you good.

I don't care what people take me as- the thing is, if you all didn't take me seriously you wouldn't be so feverish about it and worshiping each others responses to me :rolleyes:

It will do you a lot of good if you would come to realize that your defending everything a feminist says is you by definition agreeing and endorsing everything that they say- so expect to be treated as if you were a stupid, hair dyed hipster moron :wave2:

"Worshiping each others responses" to you?

I apologize on behalf of nobody for such pulchritude in relation to such foulness...

Your magnificence you...

Feminist women cannot actually make a case or debate in any legitimate setting- the only place they get anywhere is where their captured men and fellow idiot women are to further convince themselves of their own nonsense.

To defend that is to be as those people.
It's not rocket science [MENTION=10403]Arthur Brain[/MENTION], you all masquerade your conformed biases as some high holiness when you're really just aboard the Sellout Express to be accepted by people who are hostile toward your interests.

Good job.
That's why the Right is taking over again :rolleyes:

Absolutely not in turn, in much the same way as I can't enjoy or 'choose' to enjoy a piece of music that just flat out bores me.

That's not really analogous.

Now, if I liked barfing, and I said I could only enjoy one particular type (whatever that would be) of barfing, but not others, then you could compare the two.

You like music.
So you're certainly capable of liking other music.

artie's claims of "impossible" seem pretty silly :idunno:

This goes back to a thread I started maybe about a year and a half ago.

I claimed that our tastes are shaped by our own choices and habits
(our taste in foods, music, art, etc).

And I said that our taste in people (as potential sexual partners) was no exception.


That's when I crossed a line. I told Arthur that he was capable of enjoying "Single Ladies," by Beyonce.

Sure, I'm not capable of liking bland commercial pap though. I like several artists in the 'electronica' genre. I don't like everything they've done, and as with any genre there's plenty of stuff I find tedious and dull as well.

i think this whole "i like something" is more complicated than we think

Yep.

Even our ideas of what's harmonious or dissonant are learned.

Well, dissonant music is still harmonic although not everyone is going to enjoy atonal music. I was brought up on classical music and I veered towards the more contemporary side, from the twentieth century on as the boundaries of traditional harmony/rhythm were being broken and it wasn't just 'tonality' anymore. My mother on the other hand couldn't stand anything that lacked tonal harmony and melody.

Totally. And less static than most seem to think, too.

I loved York Peppermint Patties as a kid.
One summer I bought a whole big bag of them, and planned to eat a few each day, all summer long.

Later on that summer, I fell off my bike and whacked my head on the street. I got concussion (helmets are for dorks), and puked my brains out for a couple days.

After that I couldn't stand the taste of Peppermint Patties anymore.

I guess my love for them was not innate and immutable.

So I take it you don't enjoy barfing after all then...

:p

Do you think, if you'd been brought up listening to classic rock, that you'd have had the same reaction that you did to The Rite of Spring?

Or did your already-established listening habits shape your reception of that piece?
