Graffiti for or against

Thoughts_Arrive

For. Gives me something cool to look at when on the train.
They clean it up then the artists spray again, it is a losing battle.

Against, especially when it's the giant Latin king crown that showed up on the front of my brick house last summer. And I live in a really nice neighborhood too.

i think some street art and graffiti can be really amazing, and really good for everyone to look at. when it's not on people's houses.
but the stuff that's pointless, like people's names and what year it is and swear words for no reason, that's stupid.

Slap upside the head

Physical - for
any kind that defaces property - against.

some put "dead bird" with a birds head with an X for the eye on a blockbuster store here a couple weeks back.

i'd guess it was gang related. gangs suck


found this on urban dictionary

" A central Valley mock "hardcore gang" with no purpose, since thier belief systems follows something similar to; "No tolerance for no tolerance." No rival gang (yet), basically a bunch of retards who started it in highschool, and don't realize the whole idiocy of it all.
They have a myspace. They have a freeweb. They are utterly pathetic.
Each member is named after an actual bird, and they may do KeWl little things to it, such as "hawx" *Gag*"

if true, it's sort of

Some dumb prick tagged on our gate many years ago.
Tagging, bombing, throw ups on peoples property and cars is not on.

FOR, of course!

I'm also for people dumping the McDonalds trash out their car windows, people letting their dogs shit all over the neighborhood, and the accumulation of old sofas on highway underpasses.

I don’t think I could possibly be more AGAINST anything like graffiti. I fucking hate it. Especially on bridges and underpasses, the things like CHILE or MEXICO in big block letters, or what ever. If you love your country so GD much, go back to it and deface property there, leave ours alone.

oh man this really hits a nerve with me.

When done right, street art can be both beautiful and powerful.

im all for ART grafitti but not really for tagging, shit like Banksy, Shep and Space Invader is my kind of graffitti. Joe Blow spryaing his name on wall in sguiggly letters isnt really art to me....unless the paint is made out of his own blood or something.....lol

tinkerbell

I'm for this kind of art work - when done somewhere legally



but I hate tagging like this, which is similar to what is on the door to my office

I would prefer the money I pay in tax to go to hospitals and education rather than having to clean up after some dickeheads who deface public property.

yea, i think that cities should designate certain areas where graffiti is permitted. There was a wall along one of the main roads in Gainesville where I went to school where graffiti was permitted, pretty cool.

You said it best darlin'. I love it when it's aesthetically pleasing, thought out, and well-done, but when it's just names and bullshit, it's garbage.

i was kinda disappointed in it to be honest. While it was still worth watching, I was expecting a film about Banksy and it's primarily all about Mr. BRainwash
