Urbanhearts, you say I should think out of the box... but thats no solution to my problem. If I plain hate to have my house messed up, I hate it, and will not accept it.
I mean come on, my house is built in mediterranean style, graffiti would look completely out of place, yet you want to tell me that I should like and praise it anyways. No thanks, im not that dumb. Everything has its place, art has been around for hundreds of years, and different styles must be distinguished. Come on, come on, imagine Michaelangelo painting something like himself cutting open dead chaps on Pope Leo X's personal chambers.
Lets say that graffiti is art, and people doing it are artists... for now.
My personal experience is that, that they're nowhere near poets, writers, folklorists, and other artists. Francois Villon might have lived his life in sin, but he was an intellectual individual, on the other hand, among the people I know, those who indulge in graffiti are the least intellectual. Not that I would say they're all dumb, but look at it, most of them are "teh ghetto kidz" "ganxsta'z" and whatnot, and "Teh poliz are teh evul, cuz they suck." and stuff.
Yeah, those people are certainly artists.
Just try deviantart for example. Those people are artists.
Ocean Dude, I kinda understand that. Its the same here, or in the capital, wait, no, its the same everywhere I have visited.
My reaction would be the same if I saw someone raping my property.
I might be a snob, but I do want a clean town.
