My Janitor never did his job. Somebody should have told him what it was.
Tell me a story baby.
I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead and some come from behind. But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!

C'mon, seriously.



Oh come on really?

Have I ever said I like graffiti specificly because it makes cleaners jobs harder?

No, I like it because in my oppinion it improves a city and gives it charecter. But I'm not going to feel bad because cleaners have to clean it up when thats what they're being paid to do.

Also our highschool janitor was a creepy pedophile looking dude who wore short shorts up around his waist and you could see his balls hanging out of the legs. You tried your best to avoid him as much as fucking possible...

Look, you guys. The argument that somebody has to clean it up isn't valid.

The whole point is, nobody does have to clean it up. Leave it there.

Why just leave it there? It's like leaving litter on the street.

Except litter never looks fucking awesome. Street art has the potential to.

Litter is caused by laziness, it's trash.
Graffiti is caused by people intentionly making it, trying to change the way the city looks.

Not the same at all.

You guys are being way more prude about this than I would have expected.

It's simple as that, it's simple as that, it's simple as that for your stupid ass.

when i visited family in Canada i found the lack of gum on the streets was freaky. Luckily the carpets at Heathrow are covered in gum, was a welcoming site.

I have never heard of this happening.
Except for that one episode of Clone High.
Man, that was a good episode.

Also, most graffiti around here never gets cleaned up. It's never intrusive, though.

People don't usually "accidentally" litter.

No they don't, but you make it sound like they do it because of an agenda rather than being too lazy to carry their own trash around until they find a bin. I have never heard a person say "I AM GOING TO LITTER THE FUCK OUT OF THIS PLACE" and then start, like, bringing their garbage from home and dumping it on statues and shit.
I mean, look at how things would work if graffiti was like littering.
"Dag, yo. I've got this can of spray paint that I'm tired of carrying around now. I think I'll just unconsciously spray it all over this train car instead of finding a proper spraycan storage receptacle."
You have to go pretty out of your way to do any sort of street art or graffiti.
