As for this particular thread, Ifty summed it up in just three words "Graffiti makes slums!" Well done Ifty! :thumbsup: |
Re: "The Art of Graffitti Writing"
All I have said different to any else is that some who do it have talent. Its not the points thats I care about - its the reasoning behind it that annoys me...that and the anonymity of the sniping - it doesn't make much sense to me! Oh well.....nevermind! Moving on!

Re: "The Art of Graffitti Writing"
Sorry Cejache,
At the start of the thread, you agreed with the council that it was a good idea to encourage kids to be trained in the "art" of graffiti! That is your choice and full marks to you for saying it! Unfortunately, it seems as if most, if not all members of this site cannot see your point of view :( In an ideal world, youngsters would be "trained" to create art as a career and go on to benefit all, but we all know that if you show an 18 year old how to push the button on a spraycan, the world (or wall) is his oyster! Great pieces of art can come from a can, you only have to look at the spectacular trucks that go up the M6,.........but if you label the course "graffiti" you are going to attract the wrong type of teenager and they will decorate anything they can in the name of Art! |

Re: "The Art of Graffitti Writing"
To be trained to be responsible with it of course - I doubt whether irresponsible, loutish sorts would even consider attending a course like this. Its a nice attempt by HBC to tackle a problem...even if it is a little misguided.
The whole karma thing sucks to be honest - both you and I (and others) have lost karma for nothing - wouldn't it be better for people just to post and say when they have a problem with what has been said? I know I would appreciate that more! :-) |
Re: "The Art of Graffitti Writing"
CJ, the only reason you've occaisionally lost Karma is for being a knucklehead. How anyone can defend the right of people to go round paint spraying other peoples property while at the same time moan about your wing mirror being knocked out of kilter, is beyond me.
I'll tell you what: next time I'm back in Accy I'll come round and fix your mirror, providing of course , I can slap a bit of paint on your car bonnet. Deal? |
Re: "The Art of Graffitti Writing"
The only grievance I have with karma is the limitations placed on it. For instance if I like something you said and want to give you karma but haven't given any to enough other people since I last gave it to you I won't be allowed to - and I am limited to how much karma I can give out in 24 hours so if a few people impress me I only get to give karma to the first one(s). By the time I'm able to give some more I've gone and forgotten who what and where.:idunno:

Re: "The Art of Graffitti Writing"
You're not going to get much Karma with that font and type, Willow...it hurts my eyes. It's worse than graffitti....

Re: "The Art of Graffitti Writing"
The fact is I have never defended anyones right to spraypaint anothers property. How many times have I said that I agree that graffiti is an unsightly problem? I have posted in plain English so I cant understand why an obviously intelligent man such as yourself has failed to understand what I have said.
However...your candour is appreciated all the same. Car mirror fixed but thanks for the offer anyway. |

Re: "The Art of Graffitti Writing"
For the love of God.......! I have made my point numerous times in different fashions for those who find it hard to understand, I would have thought that anyone can see that I do not condone vandalous graffiti as I have stated it on two/three occasions. Here it is again for the last time -
1. I do not condone graffiti on other peoples property be it personal or public. 2. Some of the graffiti I have seen though has been quite artistic and the people who have spent time on it obviously have a talent. Unfortunately these examples have in the most part been illustrated on other peoples property. 3. I have no problem with graffiti being done in set-aside areas - if the anti-social aspect of this phenomena can be confined then that is to the benefit of everyone. 4. If through this course the people who indulge in such activities can learn that it is not acceptable to graffiti gratuitously then great. What I will not let lie is people deliberately misinterpreting what I have said and accusing me of saying things that I obviously have not. If people diagree with the above points then fine..no worries..but dont call me a 'knucklehead' for saying the opposite from what I have been accused of! |
Re: "The Art of Graffitti Writing"
Hey Ceejache have you noticed how many Karma points you've got now? :)
|
Re: "The Art of Graffitti Writing"
Ceejache, I take on board points 1,2 and 3 that you made but my problem is that as I said earlier, if a course has the word "graffiti" in it, the wrong type of youngster will be attracted to it.....and the council are too stupid and PC motivated to say NO to them!
Regards no. 4, With the street attitude today, I just cannot believe that the "students" are suddenly going to be upright citizens on completion of this course. They will learn what they want to learn...and reject any teachings that will lower their street cred! |
