Are you American? Freedom means the ability to do what you want. It doesn't mean owning guns.

I'm not American, but I doubt being pro-graffiti is a universal American value. I suspect many Americans aren't that into it, given it makes the place look bad. Many Americans might think instead that you should only deface things you own.

I think it makes the place look like a place where people are free and not oppressed, which is nice.

		They are oppressed by their neighbors, who can scribble all over their home without consequences. Have you had to clean off graffiti?

No, I am not, and I haven't mentioned guns or even hinted at the topic. Do whatever you want, but trying to purposefully destroy and smear the environment around you and claim it's an expression of freedom is ridiculous. It's just malicious, disgusting behavior that helps no one, serves no cause and has nothing to do with freedom.

		I don't think most graffiti writers are trying to destroy their environment.

I'm surprised you don't understand it. Put your money where your mouth is. Let me come over and tag all your property.

		You would be doing so alongside tens of other artists, and then after a month or so I would whitewash the wall, and everyone would start up all over again. Such is street art. Kinda beautiful, how much effort people put into art they know will be gone or changed possibly within a couple days.
