A nice mural on a plain grey building wall is far better to look at than the ugly plain wall any day of the week.

Seriously? If they sprayed on your house, I'd understand it, but if they are just spraying on some ugly public concrete shit that doesn't make anyone happy anyway, I think it's not a bad thing. Kids should be allowed to have fun.

Seriously. It's not their property. Let them spray on their own houses.

In the 1960's most Swedish cities were destroyed by idiots - adult ones. Century old buildings were destroyed. Except for my high school philosophy teacher I have never heard anyone wanting them to get punished for it. But kids spraying the ugly buildings and other structures they erased instead should be  :facepalm2:

Here is a 17th century house in Stockholm destroyed without any reason in the 1960's  :grrr:

They should have livened those walls up instead of bringing them down. :zoinks:

It's not your fucking wall. Stay away from it.

Unfortunately there are far too many "artists" who merely spray to mark their gang territory.

Better than pissing. Maybe.

Ask Jack if her collection includes members who piss on buildings.

I suspect the majority of tags are punk kids pretending to mark their gang territories. Here, they're all like that, since we have no gangs :D Instead, they'll just be tag crews tagging their pointless signatures around.

I don't mind either way.

I'll always add 20 years to Odeon's age from now on, he is an old, angry grump! :D

Your definition of art might be my definition of garbage, and it's not your property to make that decision.

Jack does not discriminate, but rather seeks a complete collection. :M

What sort of trouble would you get if caught?

$26,000 fine plus two years imprisonment

Ouch.

In some parts of the world it's the death penalty.

In some parts of the world faking dinosaur fossils might get you the death penalty

  Some fundamentalist Christians believe GOD faked the dinosaur fossils to test their faith.  :tard:

I think fundamentalist Christians and fundamentalist Muslims should be put out on some island with plenty of guns - plenty  :angel:

  Only if they all agree to it.  No one has the right to force that decision on them.  :M
