Seriously?

I read where Richard Gere kissed Shilpa Shettty (a film star in India) on the cheek while he was there promoting health issues and AIDS awareness and now they both are facing jail terms and fines for vulgarity and the tendency to corrupt society. Huh?

I remember a friend of mine in high school got grounded for a month from seeing or talking to her boyfriend because he kissed her on the cheek in public. I was a little shocked she got into so much trouble and that was during the 80’s.

Since the 80’s I believe our society has become too casual with moral issues but how do you reverse what has been done? Should we start imposing jail sentences on anyone caught cuddling in public? Where do you draw the line? What one person sees as vulgar isn’t what the next person believes.

What do you think? Is showing a little love by giving a peck on the cheek dangerous for society?
