Everyone loves beautiful and peaceful places. Canyons or mountains or cliffs or rivers. What do you think draws people to graffiti these places?
Well, for some people its just to say: "I've been there." I don't really understand it myself, all graffiti for that matter. I guess its like a marking of territory but its not really yours and it won't be even if you put your name or your gang symbol there or whatever. To me it doesn't make sense to deface anything, especially something that not a whole lot of people will see anyway. I don't understand the need to do so but there are people that do and for one reason or another they will continue to do so.

In some cultures dogs are part of daily cuisine. In some cows are worshiped. What would other cultures look at as strange or unacceptable in our culture, food or otherwise?
Well, look at how unhealthy we eat. I'm fairly certain that other cultures find that strange and or unacceptable. I mean, just look at the difference in food we eat compared to a different culture. We eat way more of everything, not to mention the snack food/soda stuff that everyone seems to go way overboard on. In France the biggest size of soda a mainstream fast food restaurant has is twelve ounces, here that's less than a small. And I'm not trying to bash on any fast food restaurant, I'm only saying our portion sizes are a lot bigger here.
