[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by AntonioFP45 Well SPbed, Just seems like the signs of a decaying society. As a kid in the late 60s and a teen in the late 70s, watching freight trains with their various colors and logos was always a thrill. Watching freight trains now and seeing the "artistic trash" on them makes me think of gangs, ghetto thugs, kids that aren't being raised, turf wars. Like it or not, that's what graffitti is associated with![B)][:0] Before anyone harps on me with their political correctness drool, I lived in a New York ghetto ( South Bronx) for a while as a kid and remember the graffitti and the gangs only too well! I'm so grateful that my parents made sure that I didn't get sucked into the street life. Peace! [/quote] 1. Society has always been messed up. These are human beings were talking about. Not exactly a flawless creation. I know it's fun and exciting to proclaim "doom" or that "things are worse now". It must be fun to proclaim such things since people have been doing it since the beginning of time. 2. Your correlation between graffiti and thugalicious gangsters is a gross generalization. I'm sure many of these kids are nerds. Gangsters may right graffiti, but not all people who write graffiti are gangsters. The desire to write one's name on inanimate objects, like greed or quarelling, seems to be an age-old human disposition, and as such can't be lumped under a giant generalization. Just some minor inaccuracies that needed to be mniscorrected. -joe
