Then stop acknowledging that I have. Of course it isn't magic, magic is ridiculous bullshit. Whether or not disliking things that make me sick is objective has precisely what to do with whether or not vanilla is objectively better than chocolate? I didn't limit the focus....and just as the situation panned out with you invoking the opinions and actions of a god..this was your doing, not mine. You claimed that I couldn't give you a compelling reason for a subjective opinion. You set this focus, this is your baby. I would have rather seen you address my criticism of the statement I entered the thread with, or make that "easy argument" about suffering. Ultimately I don't have any control over how much (and over what) you shit and run.
I'm glad you graced us with an explanation of how you feel about red herrings...which would be relevant, if any of my comments were red herrings, or indicated desperation. Since they aren't, and don't (at least in no way that you're capable of establishing) you might want to turn that microscope inwards....
That's nice, you think that disliking things that make you sick is objective, but what does that have to do with whether or not vanilla is objectively better than chocolate?
Well, we can probably imagine a person for whom this is in no way an objective issue. Perhaps they've ingested some toxin and finding something that induces vomiting would practically compel them to fall on their knees and thank their creator, but it does't really matter. Because whether or not it's objective to dislike things that make you sick has nothing to do with your demonstrably ill-thought out claim that I couldn't provide you with a compelling reason for a subjective opinion. Look, this is really easy, it's never too late to change your mind. If, on the other hand, you're going to continue claiming that my opinion is objective then man the fuck up John, and address the opinion I offered.
Is that what you think you've clearly shown? Well, opinions -are- like assholes..except mine..because mine are objective (so you seem to believe).
Man up John......Address my original criticism, elaborate on your argument about suffering, concede that compelling reasons can be offered for subjective opinions (or deny that my getting sick is a compelling reason)...do something other than arguing against yourself and calling people liars or desperate without establishing either. Even a well-founded accusation of deceit or desperation does not immediately dismiss the comments of others on it's own merit.
