Isn't spitting cool ??

Here's an idea for a thread 'isn't spitting cool'??
I can't believe how cool it is to spit all the time, kids do it on the street its so cool, why not try it, you'll look cool too, honest. The other day there were a bunch of bikers out locally and they seemed to be pretty good downhillers as I remember, they were spitting when they stood about in between runs, I think it made them look cool. Really cool.
Anyone else love spitting as much? Everytime I stop my bike for a second to chat with my mates I'm going to spit too. Its wicked. Try it. I find you have to spit about every 60 seconds to look coolest.

Oh, thats unfortunate about tuberculosis cos you've got to admit it is dead cool, it also makes you look 'hard' which is a fantastic bonus, cos its really cool to look 'cool' and 'hard'. And... it can also get you 'respect' off other people who are 'cool' and thats 'cool' too cos they're cool and you can be even cooler when you are down with them.
But I think if you spit enough to be cool, say, once every 60 - 90 seconds, and I think we've established just how cool it can make you now ...as a side-benefit you're gonna be far too 'hard' to catch tuberculosis let alone spell it.
I think it also leaves a lasting legacy of divulging too much information about illnesses to your children.
I hasten to add that my father was an absolute gent (apart from when discussing illnesses), and loathed spitting, often calling footballers 'filthy grommets'.

Back to the stupidity, sorry, I meant 'debate'...

Cool. Apart from the fact it is a very sincere and genuine debate in the context of whether it makes you 'look like a bell-end' if you do it ! Couple of 'cool' votes though?? Jesus !!
Yes, they do ...and when they're not working sometimes they like to stand in groups trying to make everyone walk round them as they take up the whole pavement, its another 'cool' thing you can try. As they do this 'standing in groups' the badgers on the periphery of the social group will spit on the ground, I don't know if they can do it every 60 seconds or not. Of course, this potential lesser spitting 'frequency' would by no means be an indication that they're not as 'cool' as their human counterparts ...they might just not be as good at producing saliva. Any vets reading?
Ah well cull the TB ridden lot of them

The difference with these guys is that it was probably necessary to clear all the dirt out of their mouth that has gathered there on the way down. I know it'll be one of the first things I do when I stop after a muddy section as spitting with a full face or parachute style helmet on the way down a run never ends well
I do find it disgusting when some little scroats see if they can cover the pavement with the stuff.

Oh no, these guys were dead 'cool', it was a dry sunny day and there was no mud around. I think they were so 'cool' that anyone would have spotted them and remarked, 'heh, look at at them, they're cool ...I'd like to be that cool'. There were lots of other bikers out that day but none of them had any mud in their mouths, so in this particular case where the ground conditions would score zero on a scale of 1-to-muddy the spitting wasn't a necessity by any means, it was some kids being damn 'cool'.
Strange reply... is this the sound of teddy going out of the pram?
Fact is that there's loads of stuff to do when you're young that doesn't effect anyone else that isn't antisocial. If you need to position your social standing based on 'gobbing' everywhere then good luck in life.
Antisocial and abusive behavior is entirely unacceptable.
If you don't think it has any effect then what do you think its like for old people walking past gangs of kids who are spitting everywhere, trying to act intimidating when these same old people see pictures of pensioners mugged and smacked black-and-blue on the news by youngsters??
You think that this example where the effect of scaring older generations who might not have the energy to cross the street is 'cool' is it??? Cos its not cool, not one bit. Its disgusting.
Its got nothing to do with the establishment mate, nothing whatsoever, nothing to do with being 'auld' as you put it, and being young and rebellious does NOT go hand in hand with trying to be 'cool' and 'hard' and does not necessitate offending people.
In fact this is not a 'be boring' rant back either, I did my fair share of drugs when I was young for example, but my friends and I were having fun in whatever we did and not bothering other people. You can get smashed out of your face without offending people too. In fact you can do most things without offending or affecting other people but ...spitting to be 'cool' and 'hard' is something different, anyone who thinks its 'cool' let alone 'acceptable' obviously doesn't care about being anti-social.
I can assure you the best anyone can do by spitting all the time is intimidate an old granny (at the potential effect written above which I'm sure they'd be proud of) ...the rest of us see people doing it and mostly think 'bell-ends' as we walk on by I'm afraid.
And to tell my opinion:
Spitting is stupid, unless you have something in your mouth that it's not yours.
And here in Macedonia if a cop sees you spit in public you'll get a fine of 50€. Spit on that.
