Good, I'm glad. I hate that shit.
The complete lack of graffiti was one of the things that I noticed around here. In California, that shit was everywhere - all over privately owned buildings, sidewalks, overpasses, you name it. My entire town looked like somebody turned a toddler with a can of spray paint loose.
Nip that stuff in the bud! Once it starts.......
ReplyDelete"Next time" some innocent will get a face full of paint and solvent.
I have often dreamed of a community where the artist is stapled to the wall alongside his "graffiti art", just so the residents can throw things at him.
ReplyDeleteNice to finally meet you: I also have that dream.
DeleteHow good are you at darts?

Hey Kenny;
ReplyDeleteI noticed that when I went to California earlier this year for work, if there was concrete anywhere, it had graffiti on it....makes the place look like a 3rd world country.
Most of the big cities are 3rd world and ruin it for the good people.
DeleteI have lived in California since 1985. The decline of society has been very obvious. In another year, I expect to be gone, given that my kids have already evacuated the state.
ReplyDeleteYet, if anyone says that grafitti is everywhere out here, they have been passing through areas where the population is predominantly black or Hispanic. Fortunately, I live in what would be described as an outer suburb of the LA metropolitan area.
I moved to this city in 1991, since then, I have seen perhaps 5 examples of grafitti (swear to God!). Why? Blacks are practically non-existent here, and the Hispanic gangs are very hard to find if they exist at all. The entrance to my housing development was grafittied on a Saturday night. By 10:00 on Sunday morning, the fresh paint over the grafitti was already drying. In LA, the grafitti is allowed to remain in place until the next tagger paints over it. Thatis the exact difference. Taggers aren't going to pay for spray paint if it if property owners paint over it three hours later.
If someone says that these comments are racist, they are arguing their philosophy, not the facts.
I'm in Soviet Monica, close to the People's Republic of Venice. There's the occasional bit of graffiti where I live, but not much. Cross over to Venice, and there's a lot more.
DeleteLikely the same reason.
Anyone remember Michael Fay? Back in the 1990s I think it was, the idiot decided to do that graffiti shit in Singapore where they take a very dim view of such things. I suspect that he didn't sit down for a while.
ReplyDeleteKen, so you're saying there are no real artists in Tennessee?
