They do those things in state parks? Oh, wait, no, of course they don’t do those things in state parks. That’s what state parks (and municipal parks and national parks and national monuments and nature preserves) are–they are places which have been specially set aside to prevent random dipshits from cutting down trees, blowing holes through mountains, and blocking rivers.
If there’s something you own–including a tree on your own land–you can generally cut it down or spray paint it or carve your initials in it all you want. Things that you don’t own, including things that belong to the people of Oregon, or to the people of the United States as a whole, you don’t get to cut down, spray paint, or carve your initials into. If you destroy things that belong to other people, then you are a vandal.
Seriously, are a fucking toddler or something? You really don’t get the distinction between “stuff that belongs to you” and “stuff that belongs to other people”?
Unlike a lot of people on this board, I don’t trip over myself to make sure that my opinion matches other idiots on this board.
Do I recognize it as vandalism? I guess. The same way it is vandalism to go into a state park and knock over dead trees. Or carving your initials into a tree in Yellowstone.
Who’s hurt by it? People who stare slack-jawed at a rock?
Enjoy sharing your outrage over a toppled rock with other idiots on this board who need to find something stupid to be outraged about.
Rocks belong to other people? If I go down to the Potomac on my lunch break, find a rock on the banks, and then OMG take it!!!11, did I just steal from other people? Should I turn myself in for theft? If I’m camping in a state park and use trees that are in the state park for a camp fire, am I committing arson? I BURNED A TREE FROM A STATE PARK!!! OMG the humanity!
It’s the same as if someone spray painted the side of your house, cut down your trees, or carve their initials into your front door.
Who’s hurt by it? You, when you come home to stare slack-jawed at your home?
I hope you wouldn’t try to find anyone to share in your stupid outrage.
If it’s a state park, then yes, taking rocks away from it is theft, you are removing something that someone else may have enjoyed. If everyone starts taking home a rock, then soon, there will no longer be a bank to the river.
If you have a fire in a state park, there are rules to be followed. Many parks have different rules, but they usually limit you to using fallen wood, rather than green, and have times and places when having a fire is in fact illegal, and would be considered arson.
If you cut down a standing tree, and burned it at the base of a cliff during fire season, then yes, you are using public property in a way that is not your right to use.
That rock you took from the beach? There are a million more where that came form, and nobody came to the beach to see that particular rock.
That log you burned up in the camp fire? There are a bunch more where that came from, and more being made every day.
That one-of-a-kind rock formation you just spray painted your name on or knocked over or whatever? Guess what, fuckwit, it ain’t coming back. It’s gone forever. Folks who came to see it? They’re shit out of luck, just because you, being the total fuckwit that you are, decided, “hey, it’ll be fun to do this shit, tee hee, fwap, fwap”.
You’re part of the problem and you’re too fucking stupid and self-centered to recognize it. Kindly never again enjoy the wonders of national parks, because you’re too much of a shitstain to realize that yes, they do in fact belong to other people (EVERBODY), and aren’t for there any chucklehead with too many beers in them and a video camera to deface and destroy as they see fit.
Doesn’t even have to be a public park. Pulling a rock out of privately-owned Luray Caverns and keeping said rock as a souvenir risked a $500 fine if caught within a year. Not sure if that’s still on the books.
Well, that’s NOT the same because they are MY trees or MY front door. Not a rock owned by no private individual.
And no, I wouldn’t expect any outrage by morons on a message board because some dumb people did dumb stuff.
I already said, yes its technically vandalism. but the outrage show over a rock being toppled over is stupid. If some kids vandalize a hospital, and medical treatment of people is affected, then yes, outrage. Knocking over a rock? meh
Morons say and do moronic things. As evidenced by the rock-tippers and your posts in this thread.
Hey Manson, shut the fuck up dude. You came onto a board, where people were upset about some mini mansons out screwing up nature, just so you could show your ass. I get it, you don’t understand the grand scheme of things, however people that give a fuck were talking. So how about you sit on one thumb and suck on the other.
Sorry, I’m not required to “shut the fuck up” People who are upset about a rock falling over should put their RO into the MPSIMS board where they can safety be stroked off by others wanting to show how much they too cry about a rock, instead of being whiny, crying babies because not everyone agrees with their moronic outrage over a rock being tipped over.
