Don't say it... spray it

Your point is completely invalid. If someone grafitti's your property, you are responsible for cleaning it up. If you don't clean it up then your store or whatever is going to look scummy.

you can report graffiti to councils and they'll come around in a buff van and clean it off for you free of charge, i know this because i had to do it for community service (which wasnt due to a graffiti related offence either)

Which I'm sure isn't done an hour after you report it. There is still going to be plenty of time for people to see a local store looking manky from the outside and no doubt a lot of people will choose to goto the local co-op instead.

When you say you'd rather taxes went on buffing panels, it's as if the government won't increase tax as more and more money is needed to clean up your mess. It's like saying it's ok to go round kicking mirrors off cars cos it's only the insurance company's who are going to be forking out to fix it.

-if the shops open, the shutters are going to be up, therefore no graf would be visable. you'd have to be a right tit not to go into a shop because of a tag anyway.

-not at all, you need wingmirrors to competently drive a car, you dont need clean shutters to run a successful business.

Yes I am. If a shop doesn't look presentable from the outside then people will end up heading somewhere else. As you well know grafitti to shops doesn't just happen on the shutters. It gets done over windows, doors and on the walls.

I think it looks class most of the time, don't mind it at all. But it's a stupid arguement to say it's comparable to a billboard etc. Whichever way you look at it, it's illegal and a lot of people don't like it and think it makes places scurffy looking. It can't be justified unless you've got the property owner's permission.

Graffiti ethics put houses off limits.

And no we had bricks through our windows.

You really think the adverts are there for a public service

trait of the era.

99% of writers wont tag other peoples personal property... they target businesses.

some businesses are personal property though?

in respect of all partnerships and sole traders the premises they use will be owned by an individual not some faceless corporate entity - do the writers conduct a company search before they decide which bits of property are ok to tag and which aren't?

houses and cars are off limits is the general rule of thumb.

But anything from trains to white vans tend to be fair game... I didn't write the rules.

But ethics do exist... you only need to walk the tracks to see how much damage gets done, yet this is rarely transfered to peoples houses.

I dont support vandalising private property and my religion stops me from damaging anyone elses property (so I dont bomb).

But I strongly support those that hit large corporations like Nexus, the fact that people in this thread say that advertisers are doing us a public service depresses the hell out of me... we live in an age of insanity.

be amazed.

we can't marry gentiles, but we're encouraged to promote marriage in the gentile world

That's not promoting something you can't do, it's promoting something entirely different.

Why should big corporations like Nexus be targeted? Why's that more acceptable than other properties? Am I allowed to steal as long as it's from a huge chainstore and not a cornershop or someone's home?

My religion prohibits me from marrying your sister ( ).. Just as it prohibits me from writing on other peoples walls.

The reason I support the targeting of corporations like Nexus is because they were awarded multi-million £ contracts to provide a service, they were awarded these contracts to provide a consumer concious service which we could afford... Not only do they hike up prices to unbearable levels (they can do this because they monopolize the sector; no competition = no limit ticket fares)... but they also plaster ugly adverts all over their carriages and drive them through my neighbourhood forcing me to look at them.

They exploit the poor, degrade the neighbourhood and are everything thats wrong with the modern era.... I'm all for sticking it to the man
