Actually I never said its a no or disagreed and you are now doing my thinking. I was asking a question and posing scenarios as to what is the truth of this matter. Like I said I may be wrong. But it appears you have decided you are right and there's no two ways about it.If what I say is correct? Well then that's a "no" to my question, you don't get why your statement is false:
"Personal tastes, feelings and opinions are about the individual (the subject) choice."
Did you choose to hate the flavor of your favorite food?
Did you choose to fall madly in love with me?
Did you choose to hold the opinion that I am the most clever being in the universe?
Can you do these things?
If you cannot, then what I say is correct. If you cannot, then what you said is incorrect.
Only if you can do these things is what I say incorrect. Only if you can do these things, then what you said is correct.
So can you do these things? The rest of your post is just you pondering over the consequences of this fact being true. That is irrelevant to whether or not the fact is true.
Can you do these things?
People like and dislike things for all sorts of reasons. They can like several things of the same kind at once and change their preference according to the situation or the mood they are in. They can pretend to like something to for various reasons or dislike something because their friends do and then change their minds when they are not around.
Sometimes we don't even know what we prefer. We may think we like something but actually discover we don't when presented with the situation. Often our minds are not made up. We are more dynamic than being stuck with fixed preferences. Its not so black and white and we are not robots.
But if your going to dismiss me and not bother to respond to the questions then there's no sense in debating with you. You have already made up your mind and won't consider any other options.
PS I am not going to answer your questions as I don't think they reflect the true nature of peoples preferences. As far as I see your creating an either/or fallacy by narrowing down the choices when its not so black and white.
