Graffiti - Art or Vandalism?

[Adam|Note]

tbh, some people's graffiti is vandilism (gang signs, immature images, etc) but some people graffiti to express themselves which i think is a very good way of expressing yourself and demonstrating your talent anonymously.

So if I broke into your house and took a giant shit in your toilet and didn't flush, would that be a good way of expressing my talent anonymously?

Talent is a gift that you and very few people have. You taking a shit=not a talent, everyone takes a shit.

Not flushing the toilet=not a talent, everyone can do that.

In conclusion: No, breaking into his house, taking a shit on his toilet and just leaving it there isn't a talent, so therefore you have nothing to express anonymously.

Idiots like yourself should go die.

U mad? Not my fault your statements are retarded.

It's your fault that you can't "read between the lines" and see the point.

What does spray painting something on a wall and taking a shit on someone else's house have to do with one another...Lol don't be mad that your statement has no relevance to the topic and you just look like a dumbass for typing it.

Oh lawdy, yet another faggot on these forums that can't see a point unless it's put in it's simplest form or explained.

You know you're wrong so you use insults because you have nothing legit to say. Just stop posting.

Guess i'll have to explain so your feeble mind can understand. There is no difference between Graffiti and the point I made. Either is anonymously taking a shit on someones property. And it's down to the owner of said property to get rid of said graffiti (Which is where flushing it away came from). That's the point in it's simplest form seeing as anything but that is to much for you to take in. I hope you don't ever have to study Shakespeare in life, because you'll really be fucked.

Not all Graffiti is like that though, most graffiti can't even be taken down, and you said that taking a shit in someone's house is a talent, and I said that it isn't... It;s obvious if someone vandalizes someone's house, that it's the same as breaking in to someone's house and taking a shit on their toilet. But that has nothing to do with actual talented graffiti, though.

100% Vandalism.

It may be art to you but if i paid 300,000 for a building to run a business i'd be pissed if some kids tagged up my walls. Use paper!

[FearMy Def]

vandalism in private property, if its in a place where u can graffiti then its fine :)

[Octavarium]

Vandalism is irrelevent in these riots. It just makes London look prettier for the looters.

[Mucky]

Both but if someone did a good graff piece on the side of my house i doubt id care lol. Graffiti is the best style of art PERIOD

[The_Big_Tex]

graffiti itself is an art form which takes a while to master, but "tagging" up a wall with a gang reference is not and obviously vandalism.

[Toby|Doggie]

its vandalism, a true piece of art is sierra leone by mt eden

[Mortuls]

I love grafitti. I love Banksy. I hate seeing gang signs and names sprawled all over mailboxes. I have the exact same opinion on it as you do.

[So Aliv3]

Just curses sprayed everywhere is vandalism.

If its a picture or something that means to the artist I could accept it as artwork

Art

Vandalism

The retarded fucking 15 year olds who think they're cool because they can do this fugly shit need to be thrashed until comatose.

BOmbing is phat brO !

Depends on where its done, but if it's just stupid ass gang signs it's vandalism. If it's something actually meaningful, looks cool and has some tasteful idea's in it then it is art.

No matter where it's done, if it's actual art, it's better then what was already there. lol

[Smush]

It's vandalism if it isn't your property.

End of story.

I don't want to have a group of teenagers tagging a house/apartment that I live in.

A friend of mine did that, got caught by the police and got fined for vandalism. Yeah it's art, but the real world won't think it as that. Especially not the law enforcement, everything is evil!  :p

[PL AY]

I think sometimes its a work of art but other times its just wrong.

Doesn't promote anything but a bad society.
