Indian court issues warrant for Gere over kiss
Public display at AIDS event ‘transgressed all limits of vulgarity’ judge says

I am sorry but I think that India needs to get their heads out of their asses and stop being so f***ed up.

I hear you and yet...

Is it really up to us to decide what is or should be important to some other culture? Isn't that what the whole "Iraqi Freedom" thing was?

Yes but come on. A warrant. Maybe because I am Canadian this sounds so wrong but where is the freedom to do anything? I think that the only reason it is a problem is because a woman was involved. I work with alot of East Indians and some are just like this. Woman have no rights. If there is a death of a woman "back home" they will not make a trip but if it is a man they will. I really have issues with cultures that think we have no rights because we don't have a dick.

I totally hear you... feel free to refer to my most recent post to see, possibly, another view point.

Freedom?

[wolf_song]

We have the freedom to do everything, pretty much... And look at what we have that they don't.

WOW

Well I was stunned when I read this. I think that the story sais something about how Gere's kiss was obsene and outraged the public with it. I thought to myself...why is the media never held accountable? They are the ones that put it out there for everyone to see. If it is that vulgar in their community - then they should not allow it on the newspapers.

I know that there is such a thing of freedom of speach - but is there something like...freedom of expression too?

This is true. I don't think that the press ever has taken responsibility for this kind of thing.
