Yeah, me too Antsy ! I shouldn't care really, but ya know......
Precisely one of the main reasons graffiti has been out of control for years in many areas is the 'it's not that important' kind of attitude, even during more favourable economic/financial climates.
I'm sure some of you have heard of the 'Broken Windows Theory'
BTW, I don't mean to have digs at you personally, BlueIris.
It's okay, Lenco, I get what you're saying, it's just that personally, I don't have a problem with graffiti. You're looking at disenfranchised people taking back the urban landscape any way they can. Sure, some of it's just tagging but if you look around, there's also some pretty interesting social commentary.
I don't want to live my life hating and disparaging my species the way you seem to.

I do kind of see your point, BlueIris, and I can reason with some of your comments.
I agree that some graffitists (e.g, Banksy) are very talented, and their efforts can work well if, when and where done appropriately, and many murals can be works of art, but obviously in context with the situation.
But if it's just ordinary 'tit-for-tat' tags or even worse, tags whose subject matter is potentially offensive/ sensitive, I can't be doing with them.
Sorry, but 'disenfrancisement' and freedom of expression is no get-out clause as far as I'm concerned.
It was football graffiti for those who asked
