    I can see how someone with completely different taste could like it :D After all: that happens all the time! :p

    Anyway, about understanding art. With a lot of abstract art I will not understand shit until the artists meaning of it is explained to me. But it has happened several times I grew appreciation for it then afterwards. I think that's just key for me with most abstract. I don't like to have to apply meaning to it myself (something other appreciators of abstract art seem to value a lot)

    Not if you would really put your mind to it. When you have some inspiration.
     
  3. It looks like a camel I'd say and an Arab with lots of scribbles. The artist's message is that these strangers from the east we so often demonize are children at heart, too, just like us.

    There's a fine line between zero artistic talent, and creations that one simply doesn't agree with. There are songs out there that I don't like but many people do. That's not what I'm trying to argue here. But if you were to take a Jackson Pollock painting and turn it into music, it would sound like a toddler screaming uncontrollably.

    Haha, I don't know. I guess I should have just liked these posts but I quoted them instead.

  12. But did you notice, how unpopular my opinion actually was to begin with? And how much more unpopular it got once I uselessly dragged in material from another thread. It barely lasted beyond your response. A perfectly unpopular opinion from what I can see.

    So, I win!

    I’m ok with a burqa ban

    Burqas are a shoplifter’s wet dream. Extremely baggy clothing that can be used to hide large objects to steal, and a face mask to go with it.

    How do ban beliefs and ideals that do not fit with your own?

    you are somehow supreme?

    to each his own....
    And fuck the rest of ya!

    that's some dangerous 1st amendment violating stuff right there. I don't think you can really justify banning that. Also, should we ban surgical masks right now? Sunglasses? Purses? Hats? where does it end?

    If you wanna wear a burqa out on the streets that’s fine. But if I owned a shop I wouldn’t allow them inside for shoplifting reasons.

    Besides, feminine beauty is meant to be seen and appreciated. Not hidden behind a cloth.

    Burqas also dehumanize women.

    This was a popular view 20 years ago. But suddenly there was a societal shift, and now many believe burqas are empowering
     
  19. If I owned a shop, anybody could come inside.
