There are definitely people in this world that claim to love nothingness according to their expressed tastes. Have you ever heard of nihilists? What about people who have such negative attitudes about certain forms of art that they'd throw out all of the good with the bad? In that limited sense there are people that prefer nothingness if they find no good alternatives.
Either way, Go-Mer, are you saying that you believe that someone is wrong if they prefer nothingness?

Go ahead and call me stupid, I feel taste is subjective.

I see no need to call you stupid just yet, but thank you for the permission.
Otherwise, where did I claim that taste is not subjective? I devoted an entire paragraph to that fact in my last reply, Go-Mer. I guess that makes your previous post very stupid.
Why didn't you respond to my puppy-lover example?
We weren't arguing if taste is subjective, Go-Mer. We were debating if taste can be objectively understood and then judged as right or wrong. Those are two different things and if you need me to explain the difference for your benefit then I'll be glad to do just that.
