    true...

    but i'm sure they would soon see the funny side if you just pointed out what they had done...
    then everyone could have a right old laugh about it, quick hug, then off than the boozer for a pint of Courage Best and a game of darts...

    I wish I was that cool headed if something like that happened. I regretfully am one who can't walk away if attacked.:o
    So I keep out of trouble and other peoples now.;)

    sneezing and coughing the same as gobbing in someones face???

    cuckoo alert !!

    :eek:

    clearly not. but i was merely pointing out that the accusation of germ transference was a red herring. breathing can transfer germs.

    spitting is clearly a more aggressive act than coughing but it is not physically harmful. it is more of an emotional offense. and gross.

    No sneezing is not premeditated, spitting in someones face is?????

    As for the bottom bit that is so wrong, saliva can transport many things hepatitis for one.

    Any premeditated attack on anyone is deplorable regardless of race colour etc.

    People would do better ignoring the BNP rather than sinking to this IMHO.

    people cough or sneeze on their hands or onto surfaces. or even into a tissue. they don't wash their hands. then they shake hands.

    and how many men fail to wash their hands are a visit to the little boys room.

    germs transfer all the time without us intending them too.

    it's pretty hard to ignore a group when they goad you in the street.

    this thread is 3 pages too long for anything related to the BNP party.

    Why do you think spitting is offensive if it was never related to contamination?

    Most non physical offences often hail back from history so I think you are wrong. The whole idea of spitting is to direct your bodily fluids at your foe ( I can think of worse ones but not so easy to produce on the spot.)
    If they are contaminated is not really the point it is the intent.

    How quickly we forget history in this new horizon we live in.

    Maybe, but from experience the better person keeps away from the confrontation.

    You seem to have a belief that 2 wrongs make a right.
    If you want people like the BNP to go from society (I do for one) it is best not to give them the ammunition and the air time they need to get support.

    I would of thought with you being in media would accept that.
