Nonsense analogy. At no point in existence does a human lack the capability or ability to reason, however you want to word it. All humans reason at every age. All humans have the capability to drive this metaphorical car of reason. The capability is innate. It's a property of the mind. A human lacking the capability to reason is undeniably lacking a brain, in the literal sense, not in the RFN...ah, I won't say it.
You are wrong, not because I am ominpotent, but because you literally understand nothing about the brain.

I recommend leaving the name-calling out though. Your debate/argument loses its efficacy once you start calling a person names and combining that with profanity as I believe you did in an earlier post.

love how this thread has developed.
i have to chip in and add that if a 6-year-old can't pick out the beat in a rap song, then that would indicate very little musical aptitude indeed.. and seeing as most people on this site have more than just a passing interest in music, i have a hard time believing any of those 6-year-olds frequent this forum.. unless merely to pose
and if you're not an expert in a genre of music after having listened to 500-odd albums over the course of 17 years, you're either brain damaged or just not paying attention.. so i think it would be safe to assume joanna is indeed an expert in hip hop
naples.. your chart, encyclopdic knowledge and age would suggest expertise in music generally.. although i have to say that even with your explanations, your self-denying selections and fence-sitting on a site designed to faciliate the projection of personal preferences still baffles me..

Is it too late to get in on this? I had no idea jj was such an asshole in so many forums! That's exciting to me. Who gives a turd about this more-than-likely bloated, lonely and uber-opinionated baloney muncher. Hip-hop, shmip-hop. She thinks she has an inside track on everything as far as I can see. While I'm no fan of Senor Nipples chart, he more than makes up for that with his calm and rational battle against the perennial elephant in the room known as jj. Since 6 she knows hip-hop. I'm sure us old-timers are really impressed. She discounts the 50 plus crowd as know-nothings while her tiny brain has been absorbing hip-hop from day-one and that's puts her in "the know." As we all grow older, we remember how we were at a younger age. How we, "knew it all". I knew it all. But now I know more. I have more life experiences. In some countries they revere their elders. JJ reveres reading her own bombast while chowing down on another tin of lard.
Oh to be young again and be able to actually think I knew it all when I knew much less. Passion has been replaced by reality. I miss the passion but I don't miss being as shallow as I was then. JJ will get it when she too passes a certain age. Until then, we can read from the collected musings of miss-know-it-all and harken back to better days when we too thought we knew it all. The defense rests.
