If I carve my name in a tree, does that mean the tree should never be cut down? Can everyone start gouging their graffiti into the rocks at national parks, would you be OK with that?

If you had something smart to say, then yes, I would say save the tree. A person is not a culture. Should we destroy film, photographs, paintings, books, because a single person made them? No. Those rocks are how that culture told stories and passed along information to the next generation. And the one after that. Just like WE DO. Again, it’s important to preserve such treasures and it’s important to view them as such.

I think you’re missing the point. Of th e constitution was carved on a tree you wouldn’t want it cut down. The glyphs tell a story for us to learn from or about who made them. It’s human history snd it’s important and I believe it should be respected. It’s not graffiti. And even if it was it should be preserved. People have pieces of the Berlin Wall graffiti. Why? Because it’s history. It matters.

I think you’re missing the point of a joke.

It’s important to preserve history but you can’t claim mountains because of some random drawings. At some point, you’ll be preserving everything.

No one is claiming the whole mounting, just the couple feet around the drawing you fucking dunce.

So the standard of whether a person's graffiti should be protected is whether or not it's "smart?" How "smart" is the petroglyph in this picture?

Jesus you’re thick. It’s not about “graffiti” you ass. We chop down trees and print on them. They used rocks because they are permanent. Hard concept for you? You’re missing my entire point, it’s history. Humans creating information to pass along. And you’re ok with destroying it for grins. Not that you’d learn anything from it. You probably think as well as you argue.

"My position isn't consistent or clear so I'll just call you names and be a salty bitch"

If the tree survives a hundreds of years and the engraving was still intact then yes I would expect them to preserve it.

Like, wtf kind of question even is this?
