Who could have done that

Errghhh you reckon? I'm gonna bet that the taggers "win" like they have done in pretty much every other city I can think of. Do you have more money than the 12th richest man in America the mayor of New York? He's not doing so well in his town.AeroCambodia wrote:

They let it get out of control 20 or 30 years ago. Nothing can stop it there now.
Here its a weeks worth of wages to pay for the paint. I just wait until the finish then cover it up.
All it take is a few like more me to cover this up it will stop them because beer and cigarettes are more important then the spray cans of paint.
And there is other ways you can stop it you can not do in other country's.
The best is my full time anti graffiti team going around and covering it up until I win.

Taken in Aus. by me, I thought it pertinent.
All you are doing is raging against the tide, you have ZILCH chance of stopping it, hell there is graffiti in Aus. 10s of thousands of years old. If you have the time/money to do graffiti removal, perhaps donate the money and help out at CHOICE instead ?

This is the shit I will stop photo below,
And there is 100000 NGO's who can help the Choice and all other save the world causes here. When they painted on my building that was the last straw . I will fight this for the rest of my life here until I win. I'm not going to sit by and see Cambodia turn into a gang land shit hole . If you read the entire thread you would know what I'm fighting not nice looking art work. If some one covers that up the nice art its not me maybe the government or the wall or building owner.

You just post to post? I doubt you know the A holes tagging the sign. And any one who spends there night painting chicken scratch of a name no one can read don't have any brains and no job so I doubt they have any money "Ladyboy" or what ever your name is. Just because your home town is shit all graffiti-ed up and Cambodia is nicer ,so to make you feel good and keep the Cambodia cant be nicer then my country image you support vandalism and crime here. What a douche bag you are. Go home if Cambodia is too nice.
goodluck with your campaign,you're gonna be busy....
if you care about your cambodia so much why don't you start a save the trees campaign or stop landgrab campaign or even save the lake (to late) campaign rather than nonsence babble about you and your gang armed with white paint and brushes lol???

The irony was in the juxtaposition of someone decrying graffiti with graffiti, complaining about graffiti.... never mind...AeroCambodia wrote:This is not what I'm talking about the photo below.

Good luck to you on your chosen quest, that you took up this fight over others is interesting. I mean, lets look to say litter (I took this 2 days ago at Stueng Hav but it's representative),
or the ubiquitous practice of burning plastics and the resultant particulate toxicity, or the continual reliance on fossil fuels to the Cambodian economy, or more broadly if the climate scientists are right the environmental degradation that will be widespread from CO2 emission, food price inflation and it's deleterious effect on developing nations, economic models based on over consumption, the issues of over population and a plethora of other issues; all of these having serious consequences for turning more then just PP into a "shithole" but no interest in crusading and yet paint on a wall in a pattern you dislike drives you on ? Not dismissing it's importance to you but trying to contextualise for you why others may not see it as important at all.
Forums are replete with those behind the keyboard railing against one thing or the other while munching on a cookie but this is different, you have spent money and most importantly time to "fight the good fight".
As to the "Gangsta" issue, perhaps that's more a reflection of Nixon era polices on the "war on drugs" and the blowback involved decades later (after all jailing a drug dealer is simply a job opportunity for another), rather than paint on a wall. Perhaps you linking a rise in gangsters to a rise in graffiti is a cum hoc ergo propter hoc logical fallacy ?
