Urban Art Association

How many posts before someone busts out the ol' argument, "great art brings about conversation. This is great art?"

You sound inspirational!

Ha ha ha, the adult end of the political spectrum. What a laugh. The amount of hate and ridicule spewed by the left has likely already outdone that spewed by the the right in the full eight years of Obama. This kind of hatred and often not so subtle death threats have been demonstrated regularly.

You're not the adult end, you are ALL children. 

The left have literally demonstrated (in the streets) that they are childlike brats incapable of coping when they didn't get what they want. I'm all for women's rights, I'm pro choice, I'm pro planned parenthood. But you lost the election. Grow up, move on. The march was nothing but a self righteous load of bulls##t that had the hallmarks of being put on by angry sore losers. They've damned Trump before he even did a thing. If there was anything adult about the "left" they'd understand that calling someone a fascist and a bigot and every other name they can think of is pretty much a way to guarantee there will be no dialogue and no understanding. They are making zero effort to work together.

I used to be one of those that called the GOP the party of "no." And hated how clearly everything they did was done to deny whatever Obama wanted. The DNC has now shown they will now become the party of no and do the same thing to Trump.

I used to think childish when right wingers would call Obama, "Obummer," "Oblamer," "Barry Soetoro" etc. and now on the left we get "Dump" and "Drumpf" etc. Same thing.

I used to think it was ridiculous when the right spewed the birther conspiracies and denied Obama was a legitimate president. Now we get the left calling Trump an illegitimate president. Same thing.

I used to despise how the right filed lawsuit after lawsuit against Obama and a number of the laws and executive orders he pushed through. Now as soon as the DNC lost one of the very first things they did was lawyer up ... so they could do the same thing...

Trump is callous and childish and has said dubious things. But insinuating that he who you disagree with is Htler is a very dangerous thing. I remember 2000-2008 and all of the Bush = Hitler posters. The same thing. And during Obama the right called Obama a fascist and compared him to Hitler as well. And regularly called him a dictator due to all of his executive orders. It's the same thing.

I do NOT agree with many of Trump's positions but the conceited self righteousness oozing from the left is puke worthy. If the shoe was on the other foot, Hillary won and right wingers had riots in the streets and had demonstrations during her inauguration and burned cars etc. seriously, what would you think of those people? What would you say about them? Think about it, because that is what everyone else thinks of Hillary supporters right now. But here's a news flash for you, if Hillary won, that wouldn't have ever happened. Leftists love pretending that they're Che Guevera or some kind of freedom fighter. They invent these narratives to fulfill they're phony rebel wannabe desires. I know because I used to be one and knew many of them. But now I've come to despise them. They are exactly the type of person they hate. 

He is thin skinned but oddly enough he was the most dovish of all GOP candidates based on policy positions and more dovish than Hillary. He was also against the Iraq war when most were for it. Yeah OK, OK, I know, the media loves to try and prove him wrong about that. They dug up that one quote from 2002 where he said "yeah, I guess so" about invading Iraq. Real gung ho right? They really got him I guess? Clearly though he was not a fan of the war but they did find a quote from that one moment where he agreed "yeah, i guess" maybe we should do something. Anyway, moving on, how it all plays out in reality well, we'll find out soon enough. China is probably the biggest threat. And China are being quite the aaa holes .. fabricating islands to expand their territory and such. Still I doubt a war will happen.  The idea he is going to nuke anyone is nonsense. The idea anyone will declare war on the U.S. because they were insulted on Twitter is also nonsense. He is baited pretty easily but to be fair those on the left, even ones like Elizabeth Warren are just as stupid for playing the game with him. If she were smart she'd ignore his idiotic posts entirely ... but she isn't. And honestly, do you really think Trump would have a victory rally in liberal areas? I mean seriously...

He has the mentality and maturity level of a toddler. Not exactly personality traits you want in someone with their finger on the button.

I do wish you wouldn't generalise. It happens all too often. You refer to the left and leftists without any limitation. How many people do you think that description encompasses? And you lump us all together. I know some very pleasant conservative voters. I wouldn't lump them together with some of the more unpleasant aspects of the right. Broad generalisations are unhelpful and should probably be avoided.

Thanks. They are pretty awful terms!
It doesn't bother me, more than mild irritation.
Regarding politics on the forum, that's a difficult one. On the one hand I appreciate that it annoys a lot of members. On the other hand, this is a forum born out of street art and graff, the roots of which have for the most part been dissent and protest. I don't think it's possible to divorce the type of art we discuss from politics. But I do think we can talk about it respectfully, though I have myself failed to do that on occasion, I concede.

Well that would be a less effective method of virtue signalling.  Better to go with the "trending topic" rather than identify world leaders who have real track records of horror

Trump is an easy target. For one he is a wealthy conservative? white male. Madonna and other celebs like Lily Alan and other luvvies are generally full of shit and out for self promoting feel good points.

It's easy for them considering their line of business. generally Music, movies and films. And we all know how they stay quiet about the abuse and racism that goes on in tinseltown etc.

Lefties from what I recall used to be anyone who is politically left of center. Now it seems that the so called anarchist left has infiltrated the Labour left etc and have an agenda of covering up the truth whilst at the same time claiming social security and making money from whatever feel good cause they parasite off of.

George Soros et al links to these type of groups including the womens march etc is for a reason.

The Bike Bell vanished into thin air!

This made me go out and buy one.

Did someone say bell?

I took off the bottom half of the mount off, l used a hot glue gun to put two small dots and set the bell in place.
I got the hammer off of eBay. Searched something like: fire alarm glass breaking hammer.
Made and painted the box myself.
It was fun making it and I smile every time I walk past.
