I feel mere kissing between a couple, may it be in a public space, is a very spontaneous act which is quite harmless. People being around at that time is purely incidental.Bringing in morality at this instance is ridiculous leading to the assumption that such a spontaneous expression of love is cheap and crass, which is not so. Just displays the hypocritical nature of the so called "powers that be"
If the issue is of virtue and morality, then a more important issue is "honesty" that the so called self appointed "moral police" should look into... what with corruption being so rampant in every government organisation at every level...or is it that because corruption takes place "behind closed doors" and under the table and not in public places it is overlooked and most times accepted?
