In real life there aren't so much numbers

Individual interpretation, that's the beauty of it. If it were just one set standard it'd be boring.

There's museums that carry some of the strangest pieces, even spanning to things like trash, blank canvas, and chairs, but what judges if it's good or not is purely that individual's opinion.

While I might think some of it's crap, another person could walk up and give an entire dissertation on why it's valuable.

An example: The Museum of Bad Art.

 I don't know, Turncoat, if art is all about personal interpretation then the artist would be the spectator more than the creator. In my opinion, someone to call themself an artist has to have some talent. The artist, not the audience/spectator. Say I'm paying to see art, if I had to give my own interpretation to what I see to make the art valuable, shouldn't the artist pay ME, since I do the whole work?

Art's not really my thing. Here's a story. I was with an artsy gf a while back, we were in a short stay in Barcelona and she dragged me to a couple of modern art museums. In one of them, there was a painting that had just 3 lines on it, and in front of it was a group of about 20 asians with audioguides on just staring at the painting. I moved on, saw other stuff that seemed really shitty to me, like it could have been made by kindergartners. I was kinda striding but finished the entire museum, which wasn't really small and had more than one floor. After I was done I passed the 3 lines painting again, and the whole fucking group of asians was still there staring at it and listening to their audioguides. Same group. Sorry, but the whole thing seems just an easy way to screw with people's heads and make money. Where's the talent in that. Show me a wall sized canvas of some battle in detail, and at least I'll say: fuck, that's a good painting, I could never do smth like that. The artist deserves to be called an artist.

Not all art is abstract and up for interpretation. That's all in the skill of the artist to figure out their depth, emotion or feeling. Sometimes, they don't even know what they are letting free or trying to convey. 

i went to a gallery with a friend for some pretentious art. two baked potatoes (a brilliant piece) were stolen and later found under the stairs.

under the US constitution everyone has writes, and is afforded these rights under amendments, online AND offline. why do you think the UN(which stands for United Nations, i might add) would set up a global constitution that all citizens of developed "countries" are bound by if they didn;'t consider all citizens as equal. you may think a fellow US citizen is stupid, but buddy, why do you think america has the biggest economy? think about it before you come around here throwing dangerous words out there. i shudder to think where this great nation would lye if the UN didn't exist.

i dont know the context, but the US economy is going to get worse, because it feeds itself on wars.

You can't just say you don't agree with me and then leave it at that. Otherwise your opinion as as much value to me as my neighbour's dog turd. You have to say "I don't agree, because of this and that reasons". Anyone stupid and audacious enough not to agree with me without providing reasons can officially go fuck themselves for wasting my time in DISCUSSION forum. :)

 Oh but I can.  As you can clearly see, that post was directed at Machiavelli, not you.  I was simply politely ending the discussion with him, by pointing out that if I wanted it to go further, I'd have to take it up with you instead.  And as I didn't take it up with you, that obviously means that I didn't care to discuss the matter further.  (In no small part because I think you're a pompous dimwit.)

As for how much value my opinion has to you, I doubt very much that it would be any different had I responded to you, instead.  Everyone's opinion is worth shit to you except your own, which is why you will never learn.

And I also don't believe I've wasted any of your time.  For one, you could have simply not read a post that was not directed at you.  In that way you wasted your own time.  Besides, if you have the time to write overbearing monologues about the amorality of sex toys on a forum for sociopaths, I suspect you have some to spare.

By "Anyone stupid and audacious enough not to agree with me without providing reasons can officially go fuck themselves for wasting my time", I believe what you're actually trying to say is "Anyone stupid and audacious enough not to agree with me can officially go fuck themselves for wasting my time".  And that is exactly why I didn't bring it up with you.

How can just replying with a "I don't agree" NOT be a waste of time for anyone? In this case it's actually not much a waste of time, because when you manage to disagree with me after I explain in EXCRUCIATING DETAIL the non-problem of the word love, it becomes clear you are mentally retarded. Like someone disagreeing with "1+1=2", lol. 

So it was not much of a waste of time (it actually SAVES me time), because next time I see a post by TheCrown I'll simply scroll down.

 And this proves my point, perfectly.  Anyone who disagrees with you is retarded, even before you've heard their reasoning.  Tell me, why would I waste my time, debating with someone who's already made up their mind that I'm retarded, before hearing me out?

By the way, it's Crow.  Not Crown.  Why do people keep calling me Crown? -___-

I don't even have to PROVE my definition of love to anyone. Because EVEN IF I WANTED TO, I'd be UNABLE TO. You can either SEE with YOUR OWN EYES that love is a desire to posses and shape a thing, or you can't. 

Just like after I define the number "2" as being equal to the sum of the number "1" with itself, you won't be able to understand what the fuck the number "2" is if you NEVER LEARNED WHAT THE NUMBER "1" IS. If you CAN'T SEE with your own eyes what the number "1", the concept of "sum" and the concept "equal" are, YOU'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND WHAT "2" IS NO MATTER HOW MUCH TIME I WASTE EXPLAINING IT TO YOU. 

In real life there are no proofs: you either see something or you don't. 

 Then what are you doing here, trying to convince us all of your divine opinions? : P

 Well I guess if you've gotten on board with the idea that love exists, there's no more to be said.  Can't say I agree with Etzel either, but that's something I'd have to take up with him.

 He gave me a meaningful definition which was testable. "liking very much". Dopamine is released in the brain when you experience pleasure because you "like" something, when you "like something very much/love something", you would release more dopamine and it would feel more pleasurable to you. Hence, why you love it. Whether that be ice cream or your wife, it makes no difference.

people are entitled to say what they want without explanation, how DARE you demand answers in such a provocative manner. as if those 5 seconds spent reading that sentence was a waste of time, how DARE you!!

 He really didn't demand answers nor ask a coherent question, he disagreed many times over aimlessly and pointlessly.
