A new anti-pornography bill proposes a ban on "kissing on the mouth in public" and on "public nudity, erotic dances and sex parties".<BR/></I><BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.seiyaku.com/customs/kiss.html" REL="nofollow">http://www.seiyaku.com/customs/kiss.html</A><BR/><BR/><I># First, public kissing is frowned upon by Japanese (and Chinese and many other cultures). It is seen as bad etiquette to do certain private activities in public. Conversely, loudly slurping food is not considered impolite in those countries, although it sends westerners insane. The world would be much poorer if we didn't have these cultural differences. What all the different human cultures do agree on though, is that homo-sapiens are one cut above other animals, and having 'rules of etiquette' is one way of showing this. To break one of these 'rules', for example kissing in public, is considered bad form.<BR/># Secondly, although kissing is a very natural activity (as explained above), many people in the East believe it was an import from the West. To use a kiss in a wedding ceremony in Japan is to show that the couple chooses to use a style that is thought to be non-Japanese, giving perhaps a more exotic image to the ceremony. (See western-style wedding in Japan for suggestions about why people choose this style of wedding.)</I>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070362.post-1136745430557378882006-01-09T00:07:00.000+05:302006-01-09T00:07:00.000+05:30Do you think people should have the freedom to hav...Do you think people should have the freedom to have sex in public?
