In Reply to: Yes, to me some things are in bad taste..... posted by Mrs. Piggy on November 13, 2002 at 08:57:14:
A person has an absolute right to like anything he wants. However, if he were to include that sofa in the best design competition he would be laughed at, I presume. We DO have standards in any field, sometimes more than one set of standards, and therefore Friday the 13th would not be considered next to Amarcord by anyone with knowledge in that field.
Follow Ups:
people like different things, there really is NO universal standards.
Look how particular you are about films as opposed to another forum member...you both can define yourselves as educated movie lovers...I really don't know what we are debating. I was simply pointing out the obvious fact that people view movies in different ways.
I don't like very dark asian decor...asians would not find it as tasteless as I do. It is not to my taste. I am not missing the point....you and patrick are implying that education leads to universal standards of taste...I don't buy that. I am entitled to my opinion too.

***you and patrick are implying that education leads to universal standards of taste...Not in the least universal, and I mentioned the existance of several, or many sets of standards.
However, not liking Brahms while understanding his place in the Universe is one thing, claiming that Michael Jackson is the second Mozart is another. Many thngs do come with the semblance of absolute values attached.
So I do not have ANY problem with your not liking the Asian decor - and I don't like it either. But I can see the development and art behind it, even if it is not MY art. I would never say it is ugly, just that it is not my taste.
But some ugly furniture shall remain ugly, regardless of its root.
In my boilling pot....
She will then be of the prettiest pink- Like an homard -
She will win.
