Avant garde. Duh.

I love Terry Pratchett. Or was it Douglas Adams? Oh fuck I don't know, it was someone.
Guys, guys...it's modern art. There's nothing to get.
Which is what makes it so deep. Nothing's deeper than nothing itself.
I said I'd have a review up three days ago but then I actually started doing IRL stuff and I've been wasting my additional time elsewhere.
I know nothing about visual arts but I have seen tasteful modern art. That is all I have to say.
Nobody should respond to this but this guy on another forum started a gay marriage debate with me. We exchanged some ideas, and I posted an argument they couldn't counter. Someone on his side complained to the moderator that the debate had gone on for too long so if I respond my posts will be deleted. LOL, the guy hating gays felt offended that I disagreed. Just felt like sharing for some reason.

I've been in those situations before, some of them are like "hey no winning".
I'd rather the mods jump in and close the thread instead of threatening you.
Gay marriage debates are still a thing on the internet?
Anyway, I've been loving modern art. I don't know if art from this era has a different name from what you see sometimes where it's just some pretentious dude making stuff up out of garbage for pretentious people to masturbate to for no reason but I've been having an appreciation for visual art lately.
Like this site is cool, although it's not all art.

There's actually forums where they delete post because "debates go on too long"? That's pretty sad actually...

I didn't start it and I was debating with a Saudi Arabian (I'm not profiling; I'm just saying he offered a different perspective than what I'm used to on the internet) so it was a different sort of debate this time. The other guy was just your typical anti-gay Westerner who claims marriage is about 'raising good Christian kids and growing together in their knowledge of Jesus Christ'. Apparently it's different for gays because all they care about is money lol.

That's not one of the rules. One of the people who I was debating with PMed the moderator saying he was uncomfortable discussing the topic and that it had gone on for too long, so the moderator said any more posts on the topic will be deleted. I find that amusing even though I shouldn't.

Oh yeah, they're still a hot item.
