I cannot believe the OP still refuses to admit that painting property he does not own and has not obtained the owners permission to paint is outright vandalism. Just another example of the entitlement mentality in action.

The OP did admit that...

He just said he only paints places where he doesn't think anyone would care (railroad tracks, under bridges, etc) rather than homes/storefronts.

I am not defending graffiti or vandalism, I merely wish to clarify that point.

All property is owned by someone.

I hate taggers and I hate graffiti. They can justify their actions all they want but the reality is that they are criminals and vandals. Taggers could give a crap about the hardworking honest residents and business people working hard to have a nice place to live and do business. They only care about themselves and their sick high they get from bombing and trashing a neighborhood. Sometimes they will bomb a neighborhood over and over. No respect for the residents who feel helpless and under siege. They suck the life out of an area and rejoice in the achievement of gaining status in their underground hip hop sub culture. I've seen what these losers have done and how demoralizing it is for the residents. I've seen businesses and homes tagged over and over again only to be cleaned over and over again. It is sickening to say the least. What a life to be proud of. Taggers are a bunch of spoiled disgusting ignorant punks.

I never said it wasn't. Did you read what I said at all?

If you would care to read back I did say this. But I'll say it again just to reiterate it. I'm aware I paint on some elses property and I know to the owner and mainly everyone, it's vandalism.

I understand that you're not defending graffiti or vandalism, and I thank you for clarifying that point.

So stop breaking the law already! Is self-control really that difficult? What makes you or your so-called art so special that you think you are above the law to practice it?

My that was a lovely little rant. If that's your opinion then it is what it is, I appreciate the post.
