Jeanne answered Monday October 15 2007, 2:56 am: Because they have bad manners. And they'll keep doing it until people have the guts to say, "Ewww that's disgusting, please don't do that." But most people just turn away and ignore it, so the spitters think it's okay. If they felt that people would look down on them for it, they wouldn't do it.

In North America spitting on the ground is viewed as rude, or at least childish. Yet a lot of men and boys specifically still engage in it.
In other cities around the world, Bankok and Moscow for instance, spitting is even more prevalant then it is here.
