If I reply with a light sprinkling of sarcasm, will my post be deleted?

The "answer" is subjective, based on prejudice, experience, class, personal fantasy or fetish, what have you. Why say which sounds better or worse?? Better for who??

When hearing music, is it not possible to say what is most common?

Why is it that a great deal of folk music uses a pentatonic scale? Why do many cultures avoid chromaticism, minor chords, and semi-tones?

It is possible to study the phonology of a language and compare it's sound structure.

That's not the question. Which language is 'better' - and which, by inference, are inferior.

I wonder how many people here are really equality or even better, anti-dialectical.

Are people here really up for valuing all cultures and beliefs equallity or even giving up on on the idea of equality? (And giving up on equality means something different from what you think)

In ancient times, would you equally place classical Roman values and morality with the Jews or Christians? The Chinese who founded China against farmers or barbarians?

Anyone here prepared to say their religion has as much of a chance of being the one true as any other religion?

Long ago I've given up on equality and even ideas of better, good, and evil. :)

As for the subject of sound better. There are sounds that will be more pleasing to the ear.

Most English loanwords in Japanese sound ugly.
