Encyclopedia > Vandalism in Ireland

Vandalism (483 words)
Vandalism (capitalized) is hostility to the arts and literature, or willful destruction or defacement of their monuments, said to be in the spirit of the Vandals in their attacks on the Roman Empire.
Some well-known cases of vandalism in Ireland included the blowing up of Nelson's Pillar, a large monument in the centre of Dublin, by a group of republicans in 1966.
Some vandalism qualifies as culture jamming or sniggling - artistic statements in their own right that are illegal and destructive from the point of view of the legal system, but are done with a creative and artistic impulse.
Talk:Vandalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (4966 words)
This I believe circumvents POV policy since it is an example and if placed prominently may encourage other would be vandals to either edit that particular text (hopefully to something beneficial) or realise they're not the first muppet to vandalise the vandalism page.
An adult discussion of political-religious vandalism might begin by mentioning the defaced monuments of Akhnaten and the wave of vandalism that swept the Roman Empire in the wake of the Theodosian decrees.
These other POV on vandalism should be recognized by those who may find your comparison to rape to be not only insulting, but biased and extreme, with no real connection to the work itself.
