What do you think of graffiti?

[sysyphus]

I like it when it's done as an art form, and it makes for great reading in public washrooms, but when people waste perfectly good spray paint with some annoying scribble or a plain old "$@#% off" it's annoying.

Racist graffiti really annoyed me.

In our toilets someone had scrawled "I hate blacks"

So i scrawled "I hate racists"


Someone else has scribed stuff against the racist. Makes me proud

To live in a society that will turn and attack racists if given a lead.

Racist graffiti is gone with an a few hours of it being spotted or reported, at least in London, I know for a fact that in the US for example things like: Joos are evil or whatever, can stay there for weeks. But then that's what passes for free speech over there, something they've never had, but struggle so hard to fight for nonetheless.

I can tolerate the artistic stuff, but as a general rule, no.

That's not the reason racist graffiti stays up. It stays up due to nobody caring to take it down. If a city doesn't have a budget to get people to go out there and clean it/paint over it, it stays up. Unless private citizens clean it/paint over it.

If the owner gives permission I'm ok with it. However special exception should be given to graffiti correcting spelling mistakes. Even if theres no permission I'm cool with that.

I love graffiti. Even if it's just stylized lettering. It's better than looking at a boring wall. Me personally I don't see why people get so pissed off by it.

 

[Lone Wolf]

Ugh, that grafitti looks like a poisonous vegetable soup.

 

[holy king]

yeah, but graffiti can really hardly be worse to look at than grey walls.

Here's some graffiti that one of my friends saw on a trip to Souther Cali this Winter break:

I mean, c'mon. That stuff is just cool.
