Another quote:


Asserting that art is subjective presents the same problem as
asserting that god is subjective. A subjective god is created
by the worshiper, whereas an objective god creates the worshiper.
With religion, as with art, you would expect this objectivity to
evidence itself in some sort of agreement on what that god is like.
But when you look, you find thousands of different groups believing
without question in thousands of different gods. Each group, of course,
professes that their god is the one true god. This leads to the
spectacle of groups willing to kill anyone who disagrees with their
particular objective god. It's darkly amusing that if they ever
succeeded, they would have subjectively created their very own
objective god. - Jules Everett

That's a pretty obscure quote from a pretty obscure person. Huh I like how it starts by stating a hypothesis and then spends the whole quote not supporting it at all. QED??
You may as well just quote yourself.

Another quote:

Saying art is subjective is just like saying balogna is subjective. Surely if balogna was subjective everyone's taste in balogna woud be the same but a simple survey of fifth grade lunch boxes and business lunches with bankers shows where this argument falls apart. Plus, many people like mustard on there balogna while some like mayo and even others like nothing at all and this isn't even mentioning the bread. Clearly balogna is subjective and so is art. QED
