Line 244: − :::"Eoinc", you deny far too much. Subjectivity is part of [[liberal deceit]], of which conservatives want no part of. Please note that the sooner you open your mind, the sooner the truth will set you free. [[User:NBackstrom|NBackstrom]] 17:39, 6 April 2009 (EDT)

, 21:50, April 6, 2009→Non-German 'Great' Composers: removed parody by blocked user
::Next, my implication of racism would only apply '''if''' one claimed that most great composers were German ''for reasons which had nothing to do with German culture''. I don't "resist admitting" that most great composers were German: that implies that I secretly know it to be true, but pretend I don't. I simply doubt that it is the case. I am willing to be shown otherwise. There is no reason why Germany could not have a disproportionately large number of musicians in its population (or for France to have the most chefs, or Italy the most painters, or England the most poets). I allow for the possibility, provided that one does not draw the conclusion from that that German people are innately more musical than people from anywhere else.
