2) OK, I'll call you a hobbledehoy - those under a certain age are unlikely to know what that means.

3) You too could do t0's job, when you get your degrees.

the fact youd rather post on a forum than do your work shows how much you enjoy your "cushy" job

 

I manage my own workload which is a luxury any employee would cherish, that is, if I'd rather post on here than do what I'm being paid for then I will. Tha t is my prerogative.

Being 'on-call' at night means I'm not neglecting any duties;

I attend to problems when they arise.

How enjoyable is that?

If you ever get a job you'll know what I mean.

For you it would be the autonomy of asking whether

'you want fries with that' or 'going soopersize' in either order.

Managing your own workload.

It does when you don't have one and you haven't got a pot to p1$5 in.

 

But then I've worked damned hard since I was 17 to get here.

I studied when others were spray painting school walls;

I found employment when others were tagging the walls of where I worked.

I invested my income when others squandered theirs on spray paints, fags, white lightening & jewelry from Argos.

 

There's a picture emerging here, can you see it yet?

art is whatever you can get away with

[tomgoodfella 10]

art-

 

1. Human effort to imitate, supplement, alter, or counteract the work of nature.

 

2. The conscious production or arrangement of sounds, colors, forms, movements, or other elements in a manner that affects the sense of beauty, specifically the production of the beautiful in a graphic or plastic medium.

 

3. The study of these activities.

 

4. The product of these activities; human works of beauty considered as a group.

 

5. High quality of conception or execution, as found in works of beauty; aesthetic value.

 

6. A system of principles and methods employed in the performance of a set of activities: the art of building.

 

7. A trade or craft that applies such a system of principles and methods: the art of the lexicographer.

 

8. Skill that is attained by study, practice, or observation: the art of the baker; the blacksmith's art.

 

 

walls are the canvas, do you not understand?

 

that's how it works.

 

i understand it's illegal, nobody here denies that.

 

you clearly do not understand graffiti though.

 

again, please break down my post into little quotes, analyse it, and if i feel like annoying you even more i'll retort and carry on with this 'discussion'.

no, we are clearly too dumb to understand your higher intellect.

 

better get back to mcdonalds to serve them fries hadn't i.

 

luckily though i'm a student nearing the end of my degree......

 

wow how easy is it being a student?

 

get up when you want to

do work when you want to

go out and socialise with the young attractive women

 

and have it all paid for by the tax payer! cheers guys.

 

anyways this is off-topic, i apologise, let's continue on the subject of graffiti and its merits to modern society

If I followed these vandals - sorry, I mean artists - around and immediately painted over their 'work' with industrial strength brick red paint, would they accept what I had just done as art?

 

Or maybe they would do their nuts because I had just defaced something that was 'theirs'. You know,....similar to what they had just done to someone else's property.

 

markham, you don't understand graffiti at all.

 

the quicker something is painted over, the more successful it has been. good graffiti gets cleared up quickest or painted over by another graffiti artist who tries something better.

 

FACT

 

even if you did go round and actually do something to 'tidy' it up, rather than just rant about it, it would give graffiti artists a nice new blank 'canvas' to work on

[t020 11]

tomgoodfella - I wasn't disputing whether or not graffiti is art. To me, that argument is both subjective and irrelevant. The main argument is using other peoples' property as their "canvas", which to any decent human being with an ounze of consideration and respect would be an argument easy enough to understand.

[THCAyle 10]

t020,using capital letters isnt going to suddenly change my mind and make me go clear up everything ive done,your point isnt sinking in as is ours,and i do respect peoples veiws,i never said im going to follow them,just respect them.theres a difference

 

amhuddson119 or whatever it is...

 

****** you have never broke a law in your life,everyone has,and most people will again.

[CRAKaJACK 10]

[MOD EDIT: No personal abuse please.] and as iv said , im doing politics , sociology and history, not english, so you were right in one thing. and i hope you have fun in london, i hear theres some good graff down there

 

why do all you people have it in your mind graffiti artists are yobs ? its a very narrow view point, how many of you have ever met a graffiti artist ? do you believe every thing you read in the sun / mail on sunday ?

 

kiddick it is possible to study and spray walls you know, as your so super maybe you could even do them at the same time, who knows. no matter how many times i say i DO go to school none of you seem to notice, because im a graffiti artist im a lazy, agressive, stupid yobbo whos dropped out and spending my life trying to annoy everyone

 

kiddick your on call all night, a well paid job, and you "manage" your work load - are you a prostitue by chance ? the evidence is all pointing there. the jewellery from argos , cider and fags is from your personal experience im guessing ?

 

and i dont work in mcdonalds, but seen as you know so much about it maybe you could work there ? you may not be able to manage your work load but atleast you can sleep at night. you even get a hat to wear.

[THCAyle 10]

BURNED well and truly..

[Don_Kiddick 11]

Yes, you should be.
