Have you heard of the Bubble Project? http://www.thebubbleproject.com/manic_depressive13 said:Typical cats, always asking questions.
That would be because we live in a capitalist society where property is worth more than lives. I don't really see why people complain that it looks ugly. It's not hurting anyone and I'd rather see AHSAIR WAZ HERE on the side of a bus stop compared to DRINK COKE.
Even if they're one of the few people not doing random, pointless garbage that nobody wants to look at, if they didn't get permission, they're nothing more than a vandal because again, if the property owner doesn't want it there, they now have to waste their own resources to clean it up. Get permission to make something nice, cool. Do it without permission because you think you're some awesome artist and the rules don't apply to you because you're giving a gift to the world or some nonsense like that, you're really no better than any other vandal. You're just a bit more pious than the gang member writing "OG 4 life" or whatever crap they'd write.Typical Cats said:I don't think people caught my drift. I was talking about artistic graffiti, graffiti that isn't Gang related or that stuff. I didn't even know anywhere where people graffiti HOUSES. I guess that falls into the ect I was talking about.
And who's life is at risk if structures are clean instead of being covered in garbage drawings? Who's going to die from a clean wall? Nobody? Oh, okay then.manic_depressive13 said:That would be because we live in a capitalist society where property is worth more than lives.
Pretty much this. All the technical stuff and whether or not it looks good aside, you're defacing either private property that isn't yours, or public property that isn't yours. It may be public to use, but not to deface. Regardless, you don't own said property and it's illegal to damage it. It's really simple.gamerguy473 said:Because you're defacing stuff that doesn't belong to you.

I can see why it is illegal, really. It is used to deface property and is considered vandalism. But is it really? Most graffiti is actually appealing to see while driving or walking. It is interesting to see and can add spice to an area. Of course in some places, it should never be there i.e, Schools, Hospitals, Police Stations, ect.
What are your thoughts on it?
Hope you can decifer my writing, doing this REM sleep thing.

Read "The Game" by Neil Strauss, it sorta explains what it is. Basically, whenever you seelp (which is like like 20 minutes every 4 hours) you immediately go into REM sleep. So, in like a 24 hour day, you only need 2 hours of sleep to function properly.Baneat said:Yeah but what exactly is this sleep diet mentioned?Aur0ra145 said:In regards to the sleep diet. I did it once. I hallucinated like a *****. It's hard to get down. But once you do (like I eventually did) it's awesome. I love being awake so much and getting so much taken care of.Baneat said:Interested, elaborate?Aur0ra145 said:EDIT: I tried the REM sleeping diet. It fucking sucks to get started, but once started it isn't so bad.
Also isn't graffiti with permission, not graffiti?

Pretty much this. The O.P. and several others may be referring to that 0.01% of graffiti that isn't a guy's/girl's nickname or a guy's/girl's gang affiliation but legalizing graffiti would mostly benefit guys/girls marking gang territory or a guy/girl saying the equivalent of "I was here".Ladette said:Because 99.9% of it looks like this:

Thing is it is vandalism of private property if you didn't have any approval by the building owner to do it. It doesn't matter how beautiful it might be, it was still not approved.Typical Cats said:This question has plagued me for a while. Here is some of my thoughts on it.

I'd be perfectly happy if you did that to my house, actually.Aurgelmir said:Thing is it is vandalism of private property if you didn't have any approval by the building owner to do it.

Would you be happy if I came to your hose one day and painted your wall a different color and made your house prettier to look at? You probably would not.
but Graffiti as an art isn't illegal, and I know of a few places where people allow you to go crazy with it
