Spit on thy Grave!!




What is one common thing between the dashing Jhonty (of the Rhodes fame), yadav ji- the local politician, mishra ji- the government official and shambudada - the auto rickshaw wallah?

....yaaa...........thuuuu.......

They all spit for no obvious reasons at times at the most public of the places.

Spit : expel or eject (saliva or phlegm or sputum) from the mouth;
"The father of the victim spat at the alleged murderer"

What is it that makes the country turn a blind eye to one of the most basic social mis-behaviour and a disease which carries a potential to carry and spread some of the worst contagious of the other diseases like TB , Hepitatis etc.?



A smoker in public is glared upon and treated with such disgust whereas a spitter is hardly even noticed, let alone challenged...
Now, then Which is more dangerous:
Passive smoking
Compulsive spitting

One can see this phenomena repeatedly repeated at almost every other public place. Be it in building staircases, on railway platforms or bus stops or roads or even in public shared toilets...


Boss...whats it that u dont like abt ur own urine that makes u spit at it with disgust?- an act shamelessly performed by even the most educated of the senior officers in many organisations ..


Spitting while something awful(as ur own urine) is seen is like adding an awful more stuff to the already awful existence..huh..

The government or the politicians would not like to get stricter on this as "they have to practice to a large extent what they preach", aint it?
Why is no government or non-govt organization ready to take up this cause while they were all gung-ho and loud when pushing for the public smoking ban?



Is it that they dont realize the ill-effects or is it something to do with the general national culture and unclean nature as such, the way they say usage of the "mild" term "bastards" as quite alright to the australian culture...

Foren law----

"Sec. 15-36. Spitting in public places.


It shall be unlawful for any person to expectorate or spit in or
upon any paved sidewalk or footpath of any public street or public
square in the city or in or upon any part of any public building
under the control of the city, or upon the floor, platform or steps
of any public vehicle carrying passengers for hire or upon the floor
of any depot, station or other common carrier, or upon the floor or
steps of any theater, store, factory or any building which is used
in common by the public, or upon the floor of any hall or office,
in any hotel or lodginghouse which is used in common by the guests
thereof. Violation of this section is declared to be a municipal
infraction. The penalty for violation shall be the sum of twenty-five
dollars ($25.00). (Code 1953, § 12.38; Ord. No. G-80-21, § 1, 7-17-80)"

Desi View

"A press note issued by the Kerala Government said spitting,
spitting of pan, blowing of the nose and sneezing without covering
the nose were harmful to the health of the public. Diseases such as
tuberculosis, influenza, pneumonia, chicken pox, diphtheria,
endemic fever and whooping cough were spread by phlegm and spit.

The bacteria or virus of these diseases spread infection among the
people. Tourists viewed such unhealthy surroundings with revulsion,
it said. ""- Just to appease the foreign tourists it seems..

Hmpf..yaya..i know its no use cribbing at this stupid,disgusting, F#$%ing system...thuuuuuuu...
