[Craig] Some vandals may think it is better for them if they vandalize. Others may do it out of self-loathing, low self-esteem, etc. Others without even thinking.
[Arlo] I imagine all vandals do what they do because of something positive it brings them, even if this is simply relief from self-loathing, dealing with perceive inequity, or reaching out for help, or protesting injustice, or masochism, or whatever. The point is, it is at odds with (most) current social value, and so it is criminalized. You think its wrong because you are taking a social-level perspective. But to the individual doing it, it must feel "right" in some way or they wouldn't do it. moq_discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
