I don't like Thai food. I never have. But you don't hear me saying that spicy food is crap and I have no clue how anybody could ever enjoy it.

Yet whenever I see people arguing about music on this forum or elsewhere (moreso elsewhere), people do just that.

PERSON 1:"MCR is awful! I don't know how anybody can like them."
PERSON 2:"Are you kidding me? Their musicianship is excellent, their vocals are superb, and their lyrics are very well-crafted."
PERSON 1:"Are you thirteen years old or just stoned?"

Or,

PERSON 1:"Call me crazy, but Queen never really did it for me."
PERSON 2:"You're fucking crazy. Seriously, you don't like Queen?"

Or,

PERSON 1:"There is not one song on that album that does not suck."
PERSON 2:"That's my favorite album by them, you know."

Is it so hard to understand that just because you personally don't like something, that doesn't mean it sucks?

EDIT: In case it wasn't clear, the parts in quotations are supposed to be sample dialogs.
EDIT 2: Made it perfectly clear by making them more than just quotes.

BURN THE WITCH!!! He is speaking LIES!

[Jackie Blue]

what.

[Liz]

I've had duck, it's not really my favorite. Rabbit is much better.

[Johnny C]

I remember a TV show or a movie or something depicting Peking Duck being sold at a baseball game. For the longest time I thought this was something you could actually do.

[pwhodges]

We had my ex-wife and her hubby to dinner last week; we cooked them guineafowl.  And I didn't murder her at all; can't say we agreed on everything, though (now there's a surprise!).

[Johnny C]

Murder seems to be a forum theme today. In the wee hours of the morning I made two drunk posts, both of which threatened killing.

[squawk]

Johnny that peking duck thing might have been from the Simpsons.

[Thrillho]

Dr. Obvious to the OR, Dr. Obvious to the OR. We have something urgent but we're already sure what it is and we need you to tell us again.

[RedLion]

Why is it still called Peking duck, when Peking has long since been changed to Beijing?

And what's the deal with French Fries? [/Seinfeld]

[Liz]

[jeph]

I liked Peking duck, before it got all popular

[Thrillho]

And what's the deal with pop music? Doesn't it mean popular? I mean, aren't Slayer pop? What's the deal?? [/Seinfeld]

[ViolentDove]

You can get these Peking Duck flavoured potato chips from asian grocery stores around here. They are fucking awesome! Also Wasabi Lobster, which is possibly even better.

[Thrillho]

Speaking of crisps, this dude where I work brought in these blue crisps. It was really freaky. The potato is actually, factually, naturally blue when it grows. But they just taste normal. It's fucking weird is what it is.

[ViolentDove]

Apparently potatoes produce cyanide as an anti-herbivore thing.

Did your crisps taste like cyanide?

[rofflesaurusrex]

aside from this rediculous tangent of epic proportions, i think its true how no one takes 10 extra seconds to compile an actual reason on why they like or dislike something on the threads latley, im sure i've done it at least once but it bothers me how people think that saying " Morphine is a horrible band, good had one song worth listening to out of all their albums." actually makes them seem like they understand what their talking about. for anyone who argues their points like this, i say this sincerely, Congratulations my friend, you are an asshole!

[Jackie Blue]

What the hell are "crisps".

SPEAK ENGLISH YOU CUNTS.

[rofflesaurusrex]

no need to be hostile

[Jackie Blue]

Duck?  Are you thirteen or just stoned?

[rofflesaurusrex]

Duck?  Are you thirteen or just stoned?

13 and ston3d

[Jackie Blue]

Duck is alright.  Do you genuinely not like rabbit?  Man, a proper rabbit stew chili is some good stuff.

Speaking of weed... I'm not stoned enough.  The Mars Volta doesn't sound good yet.

[rofflesaurusrex]

i hope you feel special

[Jackie Blue]

I was makin' fun of the original post in this thread.

Then I guess we're even, you rogue.

[Catacombs]

I quite like duck, though i've never had rabbit.  I hear rabbit can be quiet gamey though

[Mars]

What the hell are "crisps".

SPEAK ENGLISH YOU CUNTS.

The irony of this amuses me to end. I know it was intentional, and I haven't decided if it's funnier despite that or because of it.

I quiet like duck, though i've never had rabbit.  I hear rabbit can be quiet gamey though

There's no need to be quiet about it. You may proclaim your taste for duck loudly; we're all friends here.

[20 jazz funk greats]

Man, how fucking good is duck? Am I right? I just can't get enough of it.

man, you are so wrong. i got food poisoning from eating duck once so i am just going to avoid it forever from now on.

[ViolentDove]

You know you can get crispy skin duck in plum sauce, that isn't actually duck? It's molded tofu. We're living in the future, no doubt about it. They can make pretty much anything out of tofu these days.

Haha thanks for pointing out the stupid typo 

[Hat]

I really don't dig on duck, its just way too fatty for me to be able to enjoy, the texture always reminds me of food that has already been chewed.

[Ikrik]

What the hell are "crisps".

SPEAK ENGLISH YOU CUNTS.

does FREEDOM-SIZED PIZZA SHAPED POTATOES make you feel more comfortable?

I believe the correct term are "Freedom Chips" or "Freedom Slices"  And since when do chips look like pizza?  What scary kind of pizza's are you eating.  I understand that they're circular...but beyond that you've lost me. 

Dude, trekkies love tofu, they go all like "OMG THAT'S WHAT THE STARFLEET CAN USE TO SYNTHESIZE FOOD FOR YOU!!!!" before they look at 7 of 9 and touch themselves.

[WriterofAllWrongs]

Man, how fucking good is duck? Am I right? I just can't get enough of it.

A lady dumped me once.  I NEVER WANT TO HAVE SEX.

A lady dumped me twice.  I NEVER WANT TO SPEAK TO WOMEN AGAIN.

[Tom]

i say this sincerely, Congratulations my friend, you are an asshole!

I get it now, irony 

[Caspian]

Perhaps that's not valid for some people, I guess, Their opinions are just that..opinions.

However, my thoughts are completely infallible. People who disagree with me are wrong; it's pretty obvious, really.

[Sox]

This thread is funnier when read right after the Talent/Techno thread.

[MadassAlex]

Apparently some people actually like Deerhoof.

[Tom]

This thread is funnier when read right after the Talent/Techno thread.

Totally, that's what I did.

[KharBevNor]

Did your crisps taste like cyanide?

Cyanide tastes like bitter almonds.

I think what you meant to say was, 'speak our corruption of English, you cunts.'

I love how most of the posts trying to make fun of me only served to help illustrate my point, which is that the kind of arguing I was talking about is idiotic and pointless.

!! BUT PEOPLE HAVE OPINIONS. Just because you don't like them doesn't mean THEY SUCK. Seriously.

Also: no one has really said anything that illustrates your point. Everyone's talking about eating ducks and whatnot.

..For the record, I find duck meat to be a bit dry. Chicken is the best bird to eat.

[Divide by Zero]

I can't honestly say I've tried duck often enough in enough different styles to really give a good opinion on it.

[Jyan]

The only duck I've ever tried was at a French restaurant my sister worked at, and it was a bit cold, and a bit fatty, so that's tempered my opinion on the air-beast. I do love rabbit though, and to the poster above, EMU is the best bird to eat.

[Kai]

I've never eaten duck, but whenever I think of it as a meal, I picture that scene in A Christmas Story, where they go to a chinese restaurant for christmas and they chop the duck's head off at their table

What I am trying to say here is A Christmas Story sucked

[MyDarnSnakeLegs]

I kinda lost respect for my mother in law over something like this.  She said (and argued) that Notorious BIG was just as shitty as New Kids On the Block.  She was serious about this and maintains that anyone who doesn't agree is a retard. 

Look, I don't like the Rocketman, but that doesn't mean that I can't admit that he is a good musician.  He just makes music that I don't care about at all.

fuck yes

[Thrillho]

Chicken is the best bird to eat.

You're a dick.

[De_El]

Duck is best braised in a red wine sauce.
Also: isn't it funny how poverty food sometimes becomes a fancy thing? Example: duck confit is duck salt cured and then preserved in its own fat. It can be found on the menu at lots of fancy French restaurants.  It was used by peasants to keep meat for a long time without need for refrigeration, but it also happens to be real friggin' tasty, if done right.
