DENYING THE POVERTY DRAFT-THE SOLDIER AS A SYMBOL

=whitetrashpalace:iconwhitetrashpalace: reports, 1d 3h ago
The Poverty Draft, Politics, Symbols, and the inconvenience of being human.

Even in times of war, the Soldier as an individual is of no consequence. The Soldier is a symbol, a simple pawn in a culture war. The Soldier is either a villain, or a Hero. The Soldier always serves for the honor of his country, not his paycheck. The Soldier is faithful, as there are 'no atheists in the trenches'. The Soldier is Combat Arms. The Soldier is male, he married a young white girl, and he has a baby on the way, whom he has never met.

The Soldier is a romantic ideal.

A Feminist Perspective on Questionable Images

~sick-snowangel:iconsick-snowangel: reports, July 1
Sex and sexuality in art are some of my favorite things, and certainly sometimes arousal is part of this, but more importantly, it is FAR MORE than about simple arousal, as porn is. One of my deviantart friends, :iconcypherthepanicartist: , said that art of a sexual nature can “ provoke thoughts about our dreams, fears, desires, and place in the world"...yes! Well done art that deals with sex exposes the soul of the subject or act in question, not just the naughty bits. I feel that any kind of work on this site that looks at sexuality in a thoughtful or artistic or critical or celebratory, etc. way is certainly appropriate content for an art site, because, of course, this work is actually ART.

Graffiti: Art or Vandalism?

~jjankk:iconjjankk: reports, July 7
This is an extremely old article from 2005 but I found it interesting.
It explains how some graffiti artists began to sell their art for money. There are people in the world who think that graffiti is art and not vandalism and other who feel the opposite way. I feel like graffiti is a work of art and should not be banned or should not be against the law. Even though I consider graffiti art I don't think it should be sold to galleries and to people. I think graffiti was meant for the streets and that's where it should stay. What's your opinion on this topic?

yeah its nuts, i was in the Chapelfield Mall , and as soon as i walked in with my camera some suit came up to me and said "you cant take pictures in here, this is private property". i was thinking "oh great here we go". i was going to say something smart like "well if this is private property then im also tresspassing, and so are several other 100 people in here".

"If you need a hero you have diminished yourself in some way"
~0sh:icon0sh: Apr 17, 2008, 9:23:14 PM
I've seen people approached for taking photos in public, and it frustrated me to the point where I make a point of stepping in. In Australia we have laws that (somewhat) clearly state our freedom to take photos of whatever we wish, within reason, I just hope that those groups arguing for better codified daws in Britain bet their way.

(People interested in this should look at the Children and Young Persons (Care and Protection) Act 1998 and the 'Victoria Park Racing v. Taylor (1937) 58 CLR 479' High court ruling)

When I was working in a Primary School a rule came in that we coulde not physically comfort a child, so if a 6 year old fell over in the playground and needed a hug we had to turn them away...and I HATED that.

I do think its a sad state of affairs we're in, that a photographer might automatically be a pervert or a terrorist, it's making the public feel 'safer' as in most cases, its just scare-mongering (eek spelling)

I'd like to add that having a 'kit' with you can open some doors too....I was taking a few pic at last years 'race for life' and instead of being told - no you cant take pictures here, I was undistured in a public restricted area simply because I had a camera !

I agree that being treated as a terrorist for taking snaps would really wind me up and Im grateful to the article for explaining some of my rights !

But the flip side is that you can ofter go places that a person with a mobile phone camera would fear to tread !

:D
