thats what i was thinking...Graffiti really isnt a serious crime...we dont hurt anyone, we are making cities around the world nicer to look at.

[d_g]

Well if it's like the war on terror and the war on drugs I don't think we have much to worry about.

AResident wrote on March 06, 2007 10:13 AM:""As the gang problem seems to be increasing, so does the gang graffiti," said Paul Racs, director of the city's Office of Community Beautification. This says it all for the City of Escondido. We don't need to spend money on this. We need to spend money on a few more GANG cops. GET RID OF THE GANGS AND YOU GET RID OF THE GRAFFITI. I've said this same thing before. Start with SQUARE 1 (the bottom) to solve the problem. NO MORE BANDADES..... City council.."

you can say that again. Its not US that they are afraid of, its the idea of being able to express yourself and do WTF you want when ever you want. THE MANS enimy is the individual.

[topclot]

Well considering how your war on terror is going, fuck off doesnt even matter

[scr3w]

also considering that they rammed 2 airplanes into our 2 most important building.

even if it wasn't "iraq" that did it, we weren't going to sit back and look like pussies.

if you were in the president's position, im sure you would have done the same thing.

dont hate america because you can't be like us, if you don't like us, then stop buying our clothes and magazines. fucking arrogant europeans.

edit: get your own fucking language, too.

R.I.P. OZONE and WANTS! Oh yeah...and my Saab 900S (1987-2007)

That's not the point I was trying to make.

They had the 'war on drugs', didn't work, people still do drugs.

They have a 'war on terrorism', still a shitload of terrorism going around.

For your information, I don't buy American clothes or magazines. I'm not European either.

"Get your own language"? Your speaking ENGLISH for fucks sake.

Back on topic.

dont start, you know its a losing battle.

[Puffer]

im sick of this shit, my city is stupid like this too, they try to stop us from doing graffiti and when they catch one writer out of like thousands they think its a landslide and they give us fines that are out of this world, clearly the fines are way to much considering what one kid did was got a 500-1000$ fine for doing like 4 tags on a wall, and there was a shit load of graf already there and they said it was his but i donno.

My city is dumb cause they expect us to stop writing yet they wont give us a legal wall or they wont let us paint our skatepark. Fucking idiots. This city sucks, every authority figure abuses there power and gets away with it. Like my dad told me about this cop who kept hostages in his basement and was torturing them and shit and it got so bad that fellow officers had to shoot him to get him to stop, hes now in jail with a six year sentence and HES STILL GETTING PAID!

WTF IS THAT, HES TORTURING PEOPLE, HES A COP, AND THEY JUST PUT HIM IN JAIL AND STILL PAY HIM.

I laugh at these cops trying to stop us though...fucking idiots

No one will ever stop graffiti, its too big and too popular, and its fucking dope!

too bad europeans listen to american music, smoke american cigarettes, drink american drinks, and all want to learn the american version of english.

[triketra]

you guys are crazy, don't you know it's the natural flow of things that if you do graffiti you will inevitably stab a lot of people for fun?

war on graffiti is a wasted effort and always will be.
cleaning surfaces provide fresh canvas
they dumb

"During the eighties, Mayor Koch of New York stated that these kids should involve themselves in the arts available at school, yet during that time he consistently made cut-backs on art facilities in public schools. "

^^^^^ how stupid is that....guys getting pissed cuz the kids wont take art in school meanwhile hes cutting back fundings for art programs in school <_< ... thats why i hate these politicians and all these people who think graff is violent... ok maybe there are the people who WRITE and come from the hoods who are gonna stab people because of what ever reason... so what! thats not every writter out there.. and besides theres people getting killed steady because... the killers are fucking psycos or fucking fried on heroine and shit... and what's more fucking stupid is that the government puts up places where people can go to get clean needles and all the shit they need to shoot up and send these cracked fuckers out into the street (and i'm not saying everyone who does heroine is a murder i'm just trying to make a point)... and they got nothing better to do than bust a couple kids that are writting on walls <_< what the fuck is that bullshit

it is hard for me to find the words to describe how thoroughly stupid and ignorant you really are.

please dont ever post again, stay in school.




war on graffiti isnt as retarded as all you stupid toys think it is.
for the people who actually put in real work, seeing your shit get buffed in one or two days is discouraging and makes writers do things like start painting productions and chill walls instead of illegal piecing.

in some places it seems like it is too late and there are too many writers, but dont get it twisted cause most cities arent like that, especially when most of you kids are comin out of the suburbs and middle of nowhere and you dont do real damage.

[wr4ff]

Id like to thank all the writers that are keeping it real...and i hope that one day i will be able to keeep it real!
DONT EVER STOP or ill have nothing to look at n e moo!

[sens1]

fuck those cats. i will write graff till i die. best thing in my life.

[FOEone]

god, this shit is hilarious. treating graff like a national threat.

first off, anyone who posts their work on myspace doesnt deserve to write. graff is supposed to be a personal thing between you and other writers. you dont advertise your illegal art to your friends who dont paint. thats just fucking stupid and egotistical.

secondly, let's go over the steps to painting graff, shall we?
1. Sneak out
2. Hide in the bushes
3. Paint a wall
4. Go home

all the security in the world isnt going to be able to stop people from doing that.

I have no loyalty to America

[tha boy in da corner]

if you dont have any loyalty for your america then get out of here and get kidnapped by guerilla or get blowed by a carbomb...

i just dont get it...

9out of 10 people killed in irak right now are killed by a bomb setted by other iraki people... that is ridiculous, if i want to make canadians leave quebec city i wont kill every single quebecer in the street...


anyway what do i know

[React!]

man in my opinion i think its more fun if u take more of a risk buh u gotta have the mean stealth skills nowadays or u'll get fined a big one lmfao

Why do people say this...I dunno, I won't write til' I die, its a nice thing to "fantasize" about, but in reality I'm gunna eventually "grow up", maybe I'll paint here and there when I'm 30, but if I'm 45 or sumthing' I'm not gunna be out every night bombing and shit, not callin' you out just sayin'. Maybe you'll write until you die if you die because or writing, like in a train yard, but I doubt you'll be writing at 60.

[tha boy in da corner]

imn not gonna WRITE till i die but i certainly will sketch/mess around with paint for a pretty long time of my life, i read an interview with a guy from maclaim who is like 40 or something...

to me its all about that, slowly but surely

[BIGel]

if you're a tru head you'll prolly follow it into some other avenue of art like all the real ones do; graphic design, murals, just a love of painting and drawing, whatever. If you throw it out the window once it becomes unfashionable for you then you never were to begin with..

fuck america.

[FOEone]

BADASS ALERT!

[Mr.Sars]

Wooo, fuck the btp.

I think all of you should stop whining, its obvious that with an organized crime like graffiti that people are gonna get pissed off and some people are gonna want something done about it.

I wouldn't say their methods are extreme, they barely catch anyone that actually does decent damage, But that's because we'll always be one step ahead.

Keep bombing.

[maLLe]

pfft, i dun really care, they hav no idea about graf and writers theyre just talkin a bunch of shit

[Skitz]

all there doing is giving us more flack and reason to write

i would rather live in america than anywhere else, just based on the fact that our military would pretty much run through anyone.

you just don't appreciate what you have, after all, we do get thousands of illegals from mexico a year.

so SOMEONE must like us.

[bigbomba']

i read somewhere that the us spends like 150 times the amount of everyone else in the UN conbined spend on the army.


u wanna mess w/the pigs who are out to get u? go out at like mid night to super heated places with nothing on u, no cans,caps markers or anything, dont break curfew if your a minor.

and pretend to be bombing the wall and see if any pork chops come and chase u down,

they will question u... but they cant charge u with anything unless your breaking curfew...

[Exodus]

why cant the goverment jus realise that we are artists and we dont jus paint 2 piss them off we oaibt 4 tha love of paintin

ps.anyone no of a free download of tha film wildstyle????

[triketra]

Hey, I'm not telling you you should hate America too. Just saying there's too much shit here for me to like it. I don't know as if there's really anywhere that's not full of oppression and strife, with yuppie pigs and...well, just everything I dislike about America.

guess I'll uh...go live as a recluse on a mountain top? Haha. I'll move to Europe and then bitch about that too, it'll be fun.

I don't have to appreciate America or their huge military expenses. It's not like we're the only country with "freedom"

Europeans are dying off.. its a fact. I'm guessing in twenty to thirty years when the Muslims have taken over the EU, you'll feel differently.
