emozOne Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 how come we are a targeted culture? If you think about it, Me going up to a wall, grabbing paint and making something look nice, is the SAME thing as some old lady sitting at her house writing little icons on her dollar bills. Think about it, im pretty sure no one has ever, ever been arrested for writing on money. And what is more frequent than anything? Money. People see little writings on bills more than they see a bomb on a building. Serously it makes no sence to me all, cops should raid peoples houses or call the numbers on the Money and arrest there asses instead of harrassing us artist..

emozOne Posted February 28, 2002 Author Share Posted February 28, 2002 oh yeah i said that because drawing on money is a federal offence, its defacing federal property.. thats worse than us hitting up a bulding.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobobi11 Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 There really is a difference between the two. I agree that more people should be looked at for defacing money if that is a crime then they should enforce it. However, I think you are exaggerating a little about the frequency. I have seen way more graffiti than I have money with writing on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stank Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 tru, but people look at money as paper, and all it is really worth, is nothing. the only reason its worth anything is because there is a 5, a 20, a 100, dollar sighn on it. people dont care about u writing 13 + 97 = 110......... but if u look at sumones building, its like there property, makes the actual culture of the surrounding less "beautiful"....... but anyway..... money is just passed on and on.... no one cares about it..... people care about buildings..... i understand where u are coming form, and i dont think anyone should get arrested for writing on money....... people highlight that shit all the time to see if its real or not...... that defacing money.... no one cares..... it basically comes down to the fact that society and government care more about petty things then actual crimes like rape and child abuse and shit....

astrotrain Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 how come we are a targeted culture? people target this culture because they dont want you to write on their property, it brings down real estate value, and the fact that they associate graffiti with gangs and shit like that... they simply dont understand it. its as simple as that... whenever someone gets up with a quick tag, alot of people dont wanna see it, cant even read it, let alone care about what it says, so they see it as a bunch of scriblling. as for the dollar bill thing, theres no point in enforcing that shit. money isnt being put up on display, because it gets around so quickly... but a wall thats in the public's view will be more of a concern to the public.

REGULATOR Posted March 2, 2002 Share Posted March 2, 2002 im going to take this view directly from my dad...who hates graffiti the main reason it pisses people off is because it defaces property. basicaly, how would you feel if some bitch wrote all over your new shoes? or on your car? thats what it feels like to storeowners and shit when their storefronts are tagged on. it also drives possible customers away..picture this in the eyes of the common american person....would you rather walk into a store that is covered in graff? or a store that is clean and presentable?

Guest wakassOATH Posted March 2, 2002 Share Posted March 2, 2002 Originally posted by stank it basically comes down to the fact that society and government care more about petty things then actual crimes like rape and child abuse and shit.... ahh thing is.. there are alot of different methods of fighting crime that seem weird.. but in fact they accuallt work effectivly for example the police officer on the beat walking though the ghetto or whatever.. sees 2 crimes being commited one.. there are some guys drinking beer on the stoop.. two.. there is a junkey laying on the side walk shooting up herion the cop busts the guys drinking beer and leaves the junkey alone like he doesnt relize it.. that is a method of fighting crime that has proven to work. if you go after all the petty shit.. the real bad stuff goes away. now of coarse i relize that the cop isnt gonna overlook a phedophile raping a 12 year old in a alley while busting a granny writing on a one dollar bill .. but the above is just an example of many methods that may seem kinda strainge another thing i relize why people get so pissed off cause of graff.. 99% of people who see a building covered in graff think that the place is a shit hole... no matter how good the food is, no matter how clean the place is .. the restrant (for this example) will get less buisness if its covered in tags and throws.. and obiously the owner doesnt want that and another thing.. i think graff is tageted for this reason: other then terrorist shit.. name one other crime.. that so many kids are into.. that takes such little time and planing (bombing) and causes so much money in damage and havok, and is so "ugly" to the general public i mean.. just take one tag. it takes about 2 seconds to do.. it pretty much "wrecks" the whole wall and looks "ugly"(to the public).. it costs alot of cash to cover.. now how are the cops gonna catch you in that time frame.. unless your a total dumb ass or just have some horrable luck.. you gotta be caught in the act.. and then theres millions of kids across the nation doing it.. so i totally understand why its targeted.. i relize all this shit when i go out and i know that im breaking the law and i am ready to face the consquences. REGULATOR has the right idea.. your fukin with someone elses property and you have no right to do it. excuse me while i fill my backpack with cans.

sound Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 cops, mayors, govorners, authority, what have you, target grafitti and not murder, robbery, rape, the deeper ills of society, because they don't know where to begin with the deeper problems...grafitti is something tangible that can be noticeably diminished. fighting grafitti produces quick results that the public notice...and it boosts popularity of political figures.

nocalfr8tr Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 in my eyes, money is like trains and asian girls. i want them!! no one gets pissed if you write on money, trains, or asian girls. they only get upset when its in their city. sure, the railroad isnt happy with us writing on trains, but the general public could care less. i would never write on asian girls, unless it was with those body paints, that would be sweet!! a wall stays stationary, while trains, money, and asian girls move around. its not threatening if it doesnt stay in one place. if you know it'll be gone and someone else has to deal with it, who cares, right?

assface Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 Actually it is not against any state or federal law to rip burn or draw/write on us currency. So next time you get all worked up about the old lady. Think about why you are being targeted. Your painting private or publick property, most likely you have done a bit of vandalism on your journeys to bomb paint whatever. If the cops werent after you or it was legal then there would not be as many writers. Who the hell wants to paint a legal wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
