"Kissing" in Public, 5 years in jail :eek:

Anti-pornography rally in Jakarta...

More than 10,000 people have taken part in an anti-pornography rally in the Indonesian capital, Jakarta.

They were supporting a bill before parliament which would include a ban on public kissing and erotic dancing.

The bill would make organising erotic dancing punishable by up to 10 years in prison and public kissing on the mouth punishable by five years or a fine.

I can see how some extreme societies would have a problem with this and want to pass some sort of law against it, but 5 years for SMOOCHING in public? Talk about extreme! That's an equivalent sentance given to people here for embezzlement and armed robbery! But a little affectionate lip contact is inadmissable and brings down the entire country's morality? INSANE!!!!

*Makes you wonder how long a sentance you'll get for accidentally walking into the wrong restroom....
