Was doing this a wrong thing to do?

Question

while i was walking home,i found some wet cement,almost dry-i had never encountered wet cement before,and took the chance to draw a little picture.

-i drew a heart,with wings coming out of it,and i thought it looked quite pretty for something on the footpath,but then a man drave past,stopped and came back and started yelling at me that i was one of those discusting graffiti punks?and was threatning to find out where i lived because i was 'doing a horrible thing'

i tolf him to f**k off and walked away,and he drove past twice,freaking me out,but i still went home,making sure he didnt see where i lived.

anyway,was what i did wrong?drawing a swirley heart into some plain cement?because i didnt feel it was wrong...is it wrong to feel it wasnt wrong?XD

Answer 1

Yes it was wrong. Someone paid for that cement and it wasn't you Now, they'll have to pay again to fix it.  It's called vandalism and you can be charged (or your parents) for it.  How would you feel if someone decided to spray paint your house or your clothes? Bet you'd feel different about that.

Answer 2

i don't think it was a wrong idea. i've never done that before, but i've always wanted to. i think art in cement is awesome. it's looks pretty bad if it just has someones name in it, but drawing something is fine.

Well that's what i think anyway.

Answer 3

while technically it was graffiti and illegal

i dont count it as something as really serious

dont stress :)

Answer 4

Yes.  Vandalism is always wrong.  How would you feel if someone went to your house and used spray paint to draw something offensive on a fence or the side of your house.  The right thing to do would be to pay to fix it, but since you don't appear to think you did anything wrong, you won't.

Answer 5

Yes it was wrong, you should learn to keep your hands off other peoples property, if the folk concerned wanted "swirley" hearts, they would have asked for them, and the guy that yelled at you was right to do so, it may sound a bit trivial to you, but you were out of order.

Answer 6

Skye your swirly heart should be on everyone's sidewalk and the mean man who yelled at you obviously was a Philistine who knows nothing.

Why don't you get a sharpie and start drawing them on peoples cars?

The world will be a better place

Answer 8

I don't think u did nothing wrong.It might put a smile on someones face

Answer 9

Yes it was wrong - you are defacing someone's property and concrete is not cheap - especially after it has set.

I'm a little confused why this is in the "teaching" section? I hope you aren't one as this is not setting a good example for your students, not to mention you swearing at the guy.

If you feel the need to draw a picture, perhaps you should keep your artistic abilites in the school ground or your own property.
