    “"psychology of the (very) ordinary folk, people with no imagination, those who can¿t think for themselves " So George, what are your qualifications in psychology that give you the right to judge others just because they don't agree with you point of view? As iIsaid before, don't assume, to which I will add, don't generalise.”

    “Indeed, bsk. I think it¿s something to do with the psychology of the (very) ordinary folk, people with no imagination, those who can¿t think for themselves and live their lives as close to the mainstream as possible George, Bristol

    I'd rather call it "Living within the law", personally.”

    “Inspiral etc, Bristol. It's nothing like the Sistine Chapel at all. Michaelangelo was commissioned to paint the ceiling, "Banksy" simply vanalises other people's property.”

    “Yes, George, it's amazing that some people don't mind having their daily getting around vandalized by advertising, but can't see the fun &, yes, art in clever 'graffiti'. I'm no arty person, but I'd rather have the wit & social commentary of Banksy interrupting my thoughts than some crass ad for something I don't want, will never buy and generally find offensive.”

    “What is vandalism, are the giant billboards that have been put up around the city with vulgar messages to encourage you to consume products you don't need.”

    “If vandalism increased the value of my wall by a thousandfold, then yes please, vandalise away ! You see Steven, it's a bit like saying that Michelangelo vandalised the ceiling of the Sistine chapel.”

    “I would rather my wall not be vandalised by either.”
