I don't think that is the end of the story though. If this were the general theory of low violent crime rates then countries with strict gun laws would be war zones. These places that have high gun ownership need to do so because the situation is already out of hand. If there had been tighter restrictions int he first place the tipping point would not have been reached where everybody needs to be armed. Look at the latest shooting for instance. The perp was not a crim and the weapons were legally obtained. If he didn't have the ease to just buy a weapon whenever he wanted would he have taken the trouble and the risk to obtain them illegally? We'll never really know I guess. Disclaimer: This is just an unresearched argument, I do not know all the ins and outs of this issue and TBH, only people with Masters, PHD's and experience in the appropriate fields do know enough to have credible opinions.

"Ow my balls!". Great movie, also a little scary if you give it too much thought.

Has set been around for a while and did he write any names before that? No I'm not a cop, I'm an old bloke who used to write up in the 1980's on the West/Parra line. I hung out a bit with Mr,E and Unique and a few others. This dude is just so good I'd guess he's been doing it for years!

Not too much. 2 months worth of action, 4 months of sitting around really. Saw some graff there though!

Yeah, that's actually where I Took that photo trying to look as tough as I could.

Doesn't the bible say something about when thyne burger comes in a can the apocolypse is nigh? I wonder how many different ways it can cause cancer?

This is some of the best I've ever seen:

Brazil has some pretty crazy abstract kind of stuff as well:

Ex-services. I was airbourne in Australia for 6 years. Good times. Got out 8 year ago and am fat and lazy now. But I prefer to live in the past :p

Irish style RED ale??!! What kind of flavour is a red ale?

My first bit of advice would be to get a new name!

Shower time would be cut in half if I didn't.

Coopers, unbelievably good Aussie beer (already been posted, but if you've tried this beer you'd agree that it deserves another!). Little Creatures Pilsner (and others). Can't explain the freshness of this beer. Also love brewing my own pale ales, pilsner with honey, Canadian blondes, etc. I live in China, they cannot brew beer to save their lives. Anyone who likes/drinks Tsing Tao should stop drinking beer altogether and try dishwater, you'd be pleasantly surprised.

Re: NYC Subways - the good stuff Mate, just want to say thanks for this thread. I was about 10 years old on the other side of the world when all this stuff was happening. My friends and I would scour movies, magazines, news articles and whatever we could find to see it. Subway Art was our bible. the old Dondi, Seen, Lee pieces bring back some great memories and feelings. Keep posting them, would also love to see a book one day. Cheers.

Oh oh, looks like we've got a potential shooter on our hands! I think the history of the US which includes a long line of gun culture and availability, along with pressure to be popular. liked (this is by no means restricted to the US), computer games, violent movies, psychological issues, youtube fame, and so on and so on is the melting pot where all these issues come together to result in this outcome. Guns are far too prevelant in many areas now to make gun control an issue. It's the same as the whole troop surge thing. You reach a tipping point where the only viable solution is to flood an area with strength to combat those who are abusing the strength they have, can buy over the counter. Am I right to assume that some areas have greater gun crime than others? Would it be feasible to say that perhaps strict gun control in places like Boston or Connecticut and so on would be ok but the opposite would be needed in places like Michigan, Texas and so on? (sorry if my examples are out, but I don't come from the US and am not up on localised violence rates).

I'd extend the N to normal length and the top of the E in the "em" is a wee bit long. Other than that, coming along ok.

Ok, as I said, 20 years ago where I came from it meant something else. I just realised that this site doesn't have an edit function on older posts. Is it possible to remove the pics in anyway. Don't want to fuck the thread.

Oh dude, :rolleyes: I'm quite aware what you were referring to. I was trying to add some humour instead of arguing with you.

Ok, humour me for a bit can you? I'm a lot older than most here and don't come from the US. 20 years ago when I was painting, a burner was something that was either a word or a floor to ceiling pice. Someone tell me what it means these days and I'll edit my posts to suit.
