Or ticketmaster and whatever other cartels that control tickets are taking up all the profit that classically went to artists.

Where was this forgiveness you're speaking of? All I see is you saying "I support public transport... but what about rural people? Their opinion matters!"

What is their opinion? You've made literally no mention of that... only that they should have an opinion, and people should listen to it.

Great. That's fine. What is it, then? Cause you've given nothing other than a whole lot of whinging about nothing.

Yeah, but that was the point you made after someone responded to your initial comment, and has literally no bearing on the discussion at hand. Except in a "but all lives matter" kind of way.

But of course. No one said otherwise.

That doesn't mean it has intrinsic material value, though. That being the metric inferred by the comic we're all talking about.

One needs to construct a strawman when the person you're arguing with has made no attempt to make any kind of actual argument, and just thrust a single word into a discussion.

Maybe construct an argument of your own to get defensive about before reacting so harshly.

So... you just wanted to be heard, but had no actual input to give?

Because it has subjective value. And often times those public pieces aren't there to showcase art for arts sake, but as a showcase of how much the politician cares about the community. In a purely theatrical way, of course.

And, depending on ones own interpretation, assigning intrinsic material value to art reduces it's value as art. Making it less art and more commodity.

Then what's your perspective on the specific issue of this thread? You say your opinion is being erased... but all you've said so far is "I exist". Which... okay? What impact would that have on literally anything related to this?

Going to the store means going outside and dealing with people.

At that point just get your teeth removed and buy dentures.

I think the true horror isn't that you at an entire XL pizza, but that you ate an entire XL Papa Johns pizza. No one should do that to themselves.
