RE: SPITTING: Spitting in public is a bit gross but to even suggest it should be an offense with so much as a fine attached is patently absurd. If the spit doesn't land on you what difference does it make? Is it a health and hygiene thing? You spread more germs personally by opening and closing doors. Just worry about yourself, don't worry about someone spitting on the sidewalk that birds shit on, or in the grass that small animals regularly shit in, or in garbage cans where there is festering trash and possibly hobo shit. If someone spits directly on you that's a different story, but even then that's a personal story, not something where the cops should be involved.
Lines:
Sometimes people have to spit. I've spit in public, though discreetly, but seriously, I don't get the big deal. Yes it's gross, but everybody does it, be it in public or not. Now, if it hits you, then that's different.

He was subsequently found guilty of breaking the terms of his order on three separate occasions. He awaits sentencing but the judge has already made it clear that "there will be no prison for an 88 year old man".
24. In October 2004, a 15-year-old was served an order for playing football in the street.
26. In December, Brian Hagan from Norfolk became the first farmer to be the subject of an ASBO when he was ordered to keep his swine and geese under control after people living near to his farm complained of damage. The order was made on Monday of the week beginning 13 December, but on Tuesday he was charged with allegedly breaching the order after reports that his pigs had escaped again. A breach of the order could lead to up to five years in jail.

I can't believe this is real. It's absurd.

People who spit in public are probably the same people who throw trash out their car window. Sending someone to jail for it is over the top though.

Or, you know, people who don't like swallowing phlegm, because it's nasty. Also, court order for being sarcastic? Excuse a dude for being a little uppity when confronted with stupid people.

So you wouldn't mind if they got the death penalty?
