We all have the RIGHT to place mystery boxes in public areas? We all have the freedom to do a lot of things, but not all of them are always the wisest things to do, not only for ourselves, but for society in general. What if two girls want to put a box in the park, but the majority of the community does not want it there? The park is common ground, and in this case majority rules.

As for MB and Numbarz, I understand that a great deal of graffiti is expressive art and not gang-related, I didn't mean for what I said to sound like square paranoia of gangs, what I more meant was that I personally don't find such art attractive or tasteful. It just doesn't "do it" for me like a painting or sculpture might.

The road is common ground and the majority says that black people should be hung along it.

Sorry for the extreme example, but we do have the right to freedom of expression and the government is supposed to be there to make sure that we are allowed to express our views no matter how many people disagree with them.

Unless your views are to hang black people along the road.

The KKK is allowed to hold demonstrations, but they are not allowed to hang black people because that's harming others and interfering with their life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.

If you've read my bio, I'm from Ohio, and live less than 10 miles from the Ravenna mentioned. I saw the buildings where the boxes were placed. I guess I'm Massassi's eye-witness for this story.

Okay. And your eye-witness account is...?

Who the **** are you? i've never (that i'm aware of) seen your nick anywhere around here. you have me beat as far as proximity, but yeah, i posted that i live near there first so

I seem to recall a small town with lots of Jewish people putting up a big fit about the Nazis. Sure, they marched, but that's because they got sneaky.

Great. Nazis in this thread.

Or an advertisement? Those are everywhere and nobody complains. Personally I think they are very annoying. And they are GETTING BIGGER ZOMG

OMG Godwin's! :p

I don't really get what your saying, but it looks like you missed the point completely.

In America, you are pretty much allowed to do what you want and have and express any views you want, as long as you do not harm others or their property. These girls did not harm anyone or destroy or steal any property. What have they done wrong?

making people paranoid


because they suck (the people)

They weren't even trying to make people scared. They were trying to make people smile.

No, I hate ads, too. :p (Especially huge, obnoxious ones. Tasteful, stylish, and informative ones are ok.)



Unless these people are fans of the goombas or koopa troopas, in which case the mystery boxes are merely symbols of the renegade terrorist "Mario"!

Won't somebody think of the goombas?!

I thought everyone knew about that little incident.

And see how they were allowed to march because it is their right to do so?

This is starting to get away from the original subject.

And this is surprising... how?
