    In fairness, the sight of "2Pac forever" spray-painted across a wall in some middle-class housing estate in Ballincollig is rather pathetic... :D

    Well to be fair, a lot of Finglas is much more "ghetto" than Ballincollig.

    You're either somebody with two accounts or somebody who was banned.

    So he's a vandal?

    Long and short of it is he defaces property that doesnt belong to him.
    Does he invite people to paint on the walls of his property?

    Never said he wasn't. You said you didn't "see any political commentary or social message" so we invited you to comment on some perfectly legal grafitti. Stick to the stuff in his exhibitions if you wish.

    I thought I explained the difference between gansta-rap and hip-hop/grafitti...?

    In the interests of keeping things on topic, NO-ONE is disagreeing with you regarding scribbles on private property.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    I still don't get it though Ikky Poo2. You seem to think that these things are alright on public property. Are you suggesting that it is ok to spray a big 'tag' on the local old folks home ?

    Some people do think these things are alright on public property.

    I shan't weep for a Coke bus shelter ad being slightly obscured, thats for sure.

    Well that issue falls down to the ability of the local community to self police. If you woke up in the morning with a tag on your house and your neighbour saw who did it, would they tell you?

    Communties need to develop more trust and faith in their neighbours i think. That would be a good start?
    Yes that is true, but there are plenty of neighbours in a lot of areas as well who just don't give a damn. In fact I find that some of them prefer the area to be more scummy so that they feel more at home.

    I think the councils in these areas should look at a solution to the idiot teens scrawling their names on walls, it's not grafiti it's just idiot scrawls to me. Maybe if a light coat of wax was added to targeted walls after painting then the paint or markers wouldn't take. There are special waxes that are invisible easy to apply and dry quickly, if someone took a marker to them it wouldn't take and would in fact destroy the marker (I worked with such a substance).

    All it takes is a bit of innovation and imagination, most council workers though don't have the motivation or inclination anyway so nothing will be done in that respect, but it might be worth looking into for private house owners.

    An old folks' home, in my book qualifies as private property.
    Oh my God! I banned Kenny.

    Only so you could get the line in!

    Also it was a trap so I could ban whoever replied with "You bastard" for personal abuse. Have to meet my quota you know.
