Do you know/care anything about the subject, or are you just ranting for the fun of it? If you just have some extra aggression you need to work out, may I suggest intense physical exercise instead of spewing uninformed opinions on the internet?

I was having a conversation with some friends on the topic and I felt like sharing, but if you feel offended I will delete my post on the topic.

I doubt anyone's offended. But you clearly don't know what "abstract art" is, and you haven't actually made any commentary on the subject. If you're interested in discussing it, then discuss it.

Abstract art of what my friends and I've seen is stuff like a canvas of only black paint or a tic tac toe board. Though there are some which are midly amusing, like the melted stuff and scuptures but some of the stuff I've seen is IMHO garbage.
A steel ball with tv antenas is stragnly nosgalgic for some reason. Like I have no doubt that there are HONEST abrast artists who painted what the felt was a work of art but c'mon some stuff I've seen makes me think what these people were thinking and if they're rying to conn us.
So I'll correct myself and apologize SOME Abstract art is garbage and some I actually like because it reminds me of EarthBound.

I'm certainly not offended. But I also don't see any indication that you know what you're talking about. If you want to have a serious discussion about abstract art, it would probably be helpful to do some research, put forth some ideas of your own, and ask for other's ideas or ask specific questions.
I don't want to seem like a wet blanket all over you, with this and my suggesting you use spellcheck in your Problems with Canada thread. But I do want you to understand that there are people on this board who are very knowledgeable about a wide range of subjects, and you can have a lot of really interesting discussions and learn a lot if you want to. In order to do that, you have to start out with an informed opinion and an open mind.
Added: I started this before I saw your most recent post, in case that wasn't obvious.

I know you're joking, Bob, but it's not abstract.
It is pretty good, though. I'd offer you 1 million dollars for it but twinky's making me buy a hybrid.

*le sigh* Artists are always misunderstood during their own time. Just wait until we're all dead, *then* I'll show you.
