Taliban don't say classical anastole is better than modern fashion hairstyle or vice versa but they say people should not adorn themselves at all.

Clearly you didn't get it, I never said they shouldn't. Others, however, think that ornamentation must always be included, and that the ones who don't want it are freaks. I think beauty is elegant, clean lines and simplicity. Beauty to others might be decorations, but to me, they are over-the-top and can look too smothering, but I don't think they are freaks. Only the people who call others such names for their tastes are freaks.

I believe in modern times these kinds of thoughts have been imposed on us becuase of our mechanical lifestyle, it is true that we have many more important things to do than working on the details but it can't change the fact that we always enjoy not only the whole, but also the details.

But that's not what I'm saying. My only problem is people calling others 'freaks' for their tastes.

And btw it's not that details 'aren't important' it's just that, in my opinion, no details and simplicity looks better than overly-crafted buildings.

I don't know what you call people who see no difference between a simple stone and a stony statue, people like Taliban who have no respect for art and destroy these beauties, of course it can be said it is their tastes!

those are hideous

I don't care what you think of them. I only care that you stop calling others freaks for their tastes. This isn't the first time I've seen you do it. Even others are doing the same thing, it's disgusting.

@Cyrus I see anybody who insults or hurts people for their personal tastes as Taliban. Even if a modernist is calling someone a freak for liking ornamentation, he is like the Taliban. It doesn't matter.

I used that word ONCE on ONE thread a while ago.

YES! Yes it is their opinion - just as yours is your opinion, which is not more valid than anyone elses. None is "better" than the other.

Now describe what defines a beautiful/ideal man or woman - I'm sure you'll get total agreement from EVERYONE...

Oh, when will everyone see that MY OPINION, and ONLY My Opinion counts, and all others are ignorant twaddle at best...
