Here's a fact Nick: I like Techno. You're failing to realize that there is a considerable difference between an opinion, which is necessarily based on a limited amount of objective experience combined with subjective judgements, and a fact, which might require no objective experience to prove it is so. Certain things we can all prove or disprove because they are objective. However, taking a limited amount of empirical knowledge and classifying it as a proof, ... the Flat Earth Society ..., is pretty far beyond a jump to conclusions. As for the fact that I subjectively like techno, no matter how hard you think otherwise, you'll never be able to change it.
I was just about ready to unsubscribe from the list after reading a few messages today. I probably would have had I not read the messages by George and Tim. I think that the race issue is definitetly something that could belong on this list, but not in such a negative way. Being raised in different cultures has a tendency to give people different tastes and styles in music. It's a great thing if you ask me. Of course there will be problems also ... but imagine if the cultural splits weren't there at all ... I think the music would suffer quite a bit.
