hmm...well O, I don’t know what to say, I must admitt i laughed hard at Isa’s words, but I come from a country where PDA is so frowned upon it’s frustrating. Teenagers and couples in Egypt have NO where to go, as I mentioned before in one of my posts, there is no venue here for couples to have any privacy, in Cinema’s, couples engaging in ANY form of PDA are kicked out, in the streets, they’re hassled by cops and threatened and blackmailed into being taken to prison that they end up having to bribe a couple of rude cops with nothing better to do with their time.

There’s really no way to regulate PDA, who says what’s too much you know?

Anyway, I’m sorry Isa had to witness that and surely there should have been more consideration to just how PUBLIC their display of affection was and who’s watching and who might just get their mind scarred.

Make sure you explain it to her though, and try to make sure she isn’t permanently horrified from PDA or french kissing.

I know she would have been subjected to this sooner or later, Im just sorry it had to be so soon.

good morning, Sarah..

I actually thought alot about your post and Egypt’s corrupt ”moral police”.and to be honest, in No way would I like to see that here...Trust me, we have enough corrupt police to worry about...

and..I don’t at all think ”jailtime” should be on the table, that just seems a bit much...but it IS a problem..

I’d like to think of my wife and I as pretty tolerate people..Hell, it’s not as if we we never young..but there’s a limit to what should be done in public..

The sheer fact that this young couple was practically laying down on a couch and displaying enough for my daughter to practically give an official positive identification of the girls tonsils (let alone the hands) goes to show it had gone TOO FAR..

I do NOT actually think this should be a law and as I said, I definitly don’t think jail time should be on the table for french kissing, but I do think maybe having some type of ”watchful eye” reminding people ”hey, you’re in public...why don’t you take this somewhere private” would go along way..

Also it is important to understand Guanajuato is NOT against PDA’s and is NOT banning kissing, hugging, touching, etc in ANY AREA, just excessive and or lewd public acts..

hmmmm... This is sad... and...euh... funny... I mean, any parent would worry if they had their kids watching a live scene like that... but the funny part is: u have one hell of a daughter who knows how to express what’s on her mind!! LOL

Yes, Isa is QUITE opinionated, well beyond her years:

I don’t want a type of ”moral police” running around Mexico, too each their own; I just want to be given a choice to see it or not, especially for my daughter..

PDA is okay but too much of it is just really sick. I don’t want my child to see live making-outs in streets too.
