I guess most would agree over here it's not very decent to kiss in public.
(well at 2am in a restaurant isn't really public either but that's another discussion...) However to anyone from the ME considering him/herself in another league : Most westerners have a problem with the punishment this couple got. Jail and deportation. Com'on!
The same couple +kids, who turned the couple in, are probably in the same league as the ones who raced on Al Ain Road a few weeks ago with a kid unbuckled on the lap of a woman in the front seat. Nice one isn't it to have your child killed in a road crash because you didn't bother buckling up.
For this one, my dear friends, you would go to jail in the western world...
Double standards.
They have a long long way to go....Insh..
