That's there.

You'll see graffiti in the country here also but just an occasional graffiti job.... and it usually looks like shit.

Yeah, because most of the time those pieces are done by teenagers who are too scared of getting caught so they don't spray in the cities. ROFL

It's crime, unless the graffiti artist owns the property he is defacing or has the owner's permission.

It's also art. What's up with the false dichotomy?

I think graffiti is invariably butt-ugly. Even the kind shown in BB's pic. Still, I can see it takes skill to create that--ugly though it is.

But unless the artist owns the property, or the owner gives the artist the OK, graffiti is property destruction, and deserves prosecution, no matter how much skill goes into creating it.

I was trying to "quote" you, but I clicked "edit" instead (one of the pitfalls of being a mod) and made my post inside yours, replacing all your content with mine.

Very sorry. I hope it won't be too hard for you to find that picture again and re-do your post.

Seriously, if kids don't live in the city, they don't spray there. Nobody goes to the city to do graffiti. The Twin Cities is almost 3 hrs away from me.

I did that to one of Tex's posts once but I found out how to reverse it (on FireFox): Click 'work offline' and click back page until you get to the original post. The biggest nightmare of this board is that if you accidentally click a link while typing a post, back paging means you have lost all of your text (even offline). In this case, this problem is your saviour because you can click back to the point where you clicked 'Edit' and the original text will be there again. Then unclick 'work offline' and then 'send'.

No problem, Kronos. Don't worry about it. ROFL

I loike it but would probably feel much differently about it if I owned property and graffiti was used on it.
