Just think when Vietnam Vets came back, young hippies spat on them. Now Vietnam Vets get their chance.

Jetmech Approves of this.

I've always thought spitting was one of humanities more disgusting habits, no matter who's doing it, you wouldn't believe how many diseases can be transmitted through saliva.

[vyper]

Do it in Glasgow and you won't be spitting again any time soon.

[Ford Prefect]

I don't recall Jane Fonda actually spitting on anyone, but I guess that doesn't really matter.

Anyway, I applaud this man for demonstrating that he is just as much a yahoo as the people he despises, and thank him for supplying us with the intellectual masturbation fodder.

...Well, possibly a few teeth straight afterwards

Can be kind of necessary playing footie, though.

[Unknown Target]

...what?

[Flipside]

True, athletes etc need to get rid of overbuilds of saliva, but at least they do it onto the floor (and it still makes me feel sick, but that's just me - I do have a particular thing about spitting).

Strictly speaking, spitting at someone is considered assault by law, at least in the UK, simply because of the potential for transferring several blood disorders among other things.

Well she didn't spit in anyones eye, but she is basically the embodyment of everything Vietnam Vets hate.

And to put my self in his shoes, I can understand his resentment of Jane Fonda; not that spitting on her exactly shows your self to be the better person.

[WMCoolmon]

Yeah, going by that article I don't really think she's sorry. I've seen people act exactly like her - she just wanted to put the guy down and get back at him for spitting on her.

I've only vaguely heard of her, but going by this article, I'm glad she's not someone I'm acquainted with.

[redmenace]

This might ring a bell, WMC. The whole thing was a publicity stunt. POWs were even betten when they refused to talk to the stupid b*tch.

Who gives a **** about being 'better' than her? I'm sure it felt damned good to spit in Hanoi Jane's face.

Not that I'd ever do such a thing, but still.

*sighs*

Patriotism is a virtue of the vicious.

[Taristin]

I'm not patriotic. Like, at all. But from his perspective, I bet it felt damned good.

[Nico]

Darn, there was "Wow" in the title, so I clicked.
Dispointed I am.

[redmenace]

sorry to disapoint, I hope this makes things right

As much as that clears things up it makes my blood boil.

[Blitzerland]

That's sickening. Such a cowardly, weak, traiterous thing to do. And from the sound of it, she doesn't even have any remorse.

At first I was disgusted with the individual that spat on her, but now I'm dissapointed he didn't vomit instead.

I'm not very patriotic, to be honest, but her actions still disgust me beyond reckoning. ****ing moron.
