    Movie theaters are public spaces. Do you do that in movie theaters while the movie is playing? How about libraries? How about a cemetery during a burial?

      Nope I’m there for the movie. Libraries are there for reading and studying. Cemeteries are there for grieving family and friends. I consider those things to be an event that occupies my attention.

      If I’m in a public space without something that should occupy my attention, I’ll listen to my discussion-based audio however I wanna.

        And if someone else doesn’t feel like it should occupy their attention and play music in those places? Why is what should occupy your attention more important than what should occupy their attention?

          Does someone not monitor disruptive behavior? The theater worker, the funeral home attendant, librarians etc.

          If I’m having a discussion do I need to worry about others listening to my discussion?

            You above:

            Its a public space, and if you don’t like what I’m listening to I would love to have a discussion about it.

            So if someone monitoring that behavior wants it to stop, you expect them to discuss whether or not it should be stopped.

            Or does that only apply to you and no one else gets to justify playing music at top volume where other people don’t want to hear it?

              Just discussions, if someone is arguing in a space and its disruptive then, yes.

              If someone is listening to a discussion on their phone how is that different from listening to a discussion in person?

              Personally music doesn’t bother me either, I’ll just tell them my opinion on their music if I felt that strongly. Or just be a normal person and bump to it, if i like the music.

                And now you’re changing what you said. You were talking about listening to music. You said if someone doesn’t like the loud music you’re listening to in a public space, you want to have a discussion with them about it.

                So if someone else is listening to loud music at a cemetery, you should expect them to want to discuss it with whoever tells them to turn it off before they turn the music off.

                Unless you think rules that apply to you don’t apply to others. Which is it?

                  I don’t think there’s any music on breadtube bro. Either way, I don’t mind music in public, personally.

                  I stand behind discussions in public, audio or otherwise. I conced listening to loud music in a public space can be very disruptive.

                  I suppose I’m just not that sensitive to the subject.
