    A friend of mine from South Africa spend 2 days in jail after kissing his gf he was engaged to and had to pay a huge amount in fines because he was accused of public prostitution. The cops basically just wanted money...

    Depending on where you live, public displays of lust and abandonment may be illegal.

    I don't totally agree.. I think if it makes the society around you feel uncomfortable, which is certainly does make people a little uneasy, it could an acceptable rule not to allow it.. even though people want to do it.. or think they want to do it.. it may not be good for society if they did it.

    Hmm guys, it's they're problem. Let them exchange french kisses, don't let them go dryfucking :p I'd say that you'd look the other way if you don't like seeing people in love, happy.

    What about the young people like the child? If ever you have a child, and he/she see that PDA what are you going to tell them? "They were just playing?"

    No, you'll tell them that they love each other. It's not some sort of disease or something.

    Hi,

    I respect your opinion on affection. I feel if done appropriately seeing affection in public gives me a warm feeling of joy. I believe the song "All we need is love" to be true in these trials and tribulations of war that we see on the news. (I recommend fasting from some of the negative to allow the positive to take root in our hearts.)

    Scott

    Do you think that a child like them can easily understood that?
    Try asking one. Kids are honest they will ask and ask not until they are satisfied.

    And you are going to tell them that it's love? They did not yet know the difference between love of parents, siblings, and lover.

    Depends on the circumstances and the culture.
    Sitting cosy may be accepted where as getting overtly expressive may be frowned upon.

    Finally its upto the couple to decide whether the society and the people in the vicinity will permit it.

    You dont want to get into trouble do you?

    I was talking about very strict countries, where the law is taking over the human's rights, where women are killed with stones if they make sex before marriage, where the death penalty is something usual, where religion has way to many power, and examples could go on and on.
    It's about free will ... the power of everyone's choice. That should not be taken away because we will be more and more like machines.

    Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. Whats asthetic to some is offensive to others. You have to take into the consideration about the society around you.

    Refrain if you are around kids of imperssionable age.

    A peck on the cheek is different from smooching. Use yor judgement judiciously.

    I think there should be a limit to what one should be able to do infron of others. You have to consider other peoples privacy. By doing such acts you put other people ina compromisisng situation.

    Thats frickin cute actually you know.

    When you see people doing that, click some pics, upload em on to your computer, photoshop the message "OMGWTFBBQ THIS LOSER HAS A GF LOOL" and then sell postcards on eBay, losers would buy em, and in our world there is no real shortage of losers.

    So yeah
