Fewer and fewer know what acoustic music typically sounds like.

* What an elitist statement to make.

Not at all.

Yeah, it was a bit snooty.

No, it's not, but I understand your need to try to be critical.

*Critical? *I thought you liked to be snooty?

That's because you're wrong. *Again.

You're snootier than you wish you were.
You just don't like to hear about it.

Oh I see.

How dare you argue with 2pid after he's passed judgement from his
Bungalow of Stupidity. Superman had his Fortress of Solitude. 2pid
bought it from him and remodeled it.

If stats show that fewer teenagers drink grape soda than they did 10
years ago, is it "snooty" to say that fewer teenagers now know what
grape soda tastes like?

*If you obviously think grape soda is some sign of culture and
culinary appreciation,
yeah, and it's also wrong.
I drink far less soda than I once did, but I still know what they
taste like.
Your conclusion is not a given from the facts presented.

You changed the question. *I asked about teenagers. *Fewer teenagers
drink grape soda than they did before. *Think it through.

Doesn't mean they've never had a grape soda and can't remember what
it tastes like....

Scott, you do understand that people aren't teenagers forever, right?

Try explaining it to him slowly. Use vinyl LPs or tubes as an example.
Many teens don't know what they are, let alone hearing them.

unless they're one of your students.

Why does anyone even bother to try with you?

In my case because I enjoy shredding the poor, dumb *******?

*The set of
people who are teenagers are less and less exposed to the taste of grape
soda. *For my point about acoustic music, x number of people were
exposed to acoustic music in, say, 1970. *That number is now less, as
people who did hear it pass away, with fewer people replacing them.

I think it's absurd to assume that even with a reduction in frequency
of exposure
it has ever gotten to the point where someone has never heard any
acoustic music
by the time they're age 12.

Did I say anything resembling that?

That doesn't matter.

Do you enjoy the "Family Circus" cartoons? LoL.

Ask your community college students for some assistance with
your critical thinking.

I'm afraid that they're quite better at it than half of the people I've
met who graduated from UofI.

Foolish comments like that only prove you lack any
qualification for judgement.

I've known (in a broad sense, meaning including online) two UofI grads. *
You are one of them.

That is a very small sample to base a claim that half of all
University of Illinois grads are imbeciles, Jenn. That would be like
you saying that 100% of the engineers you know from there are stupid.
