Common Decency

There's always couples showing their affection in public, be it hugging, kissing on the cheeks or the more physical affection. You see them on the train, at the malls and other public areas like the park. Weird couples that makes you cringe when you see them, especially an older male with a made-in-china young girl, can't help but to raise a few eyebrows assuming its a gold digging deal.

This isn't Paris or any European country where public affection is overflowing and abundance. Although our modern society, we still keep our behavior towards conservative. A peck on the cheek and a hug is practically alright. If the tongue is involved in the kiss, I mean, C'mon, is this what you want your kids to learn. I've seen couples hugging in ways I could never imagine, they could've just went on throwing one party to the ground and get into it in detail. Does 'get a room' applicable in this situation. School kids on the train, showing affection way too much, where the hell they learn such 'moves'? Clearly....the adults. Monkey see monkey do. I've seen a school boy reaching into the school girl's skirt and some physical rubbing action. Seriously not the way to start a bond fire with that kinda rubbing.

I'm surprised to encounter an Hindu staff working for the National Parks, making his move with a Filipino (hopefully she's not a domestic maid) at the park while I was jogging. The Hindu man had his broom (a sweeper I suppose) on the beach and sitting together with the Filipino girl holding each other (talk about interracial). The worst part is that the location they're sitting faces the whole main street. Its like announcing to the whole world they're having a 'good time'.

Is this the transition from a traditional way of thinking to modernized attitude? Probably in years to come,mobile love shags would be built in various location for people to have a quickie before heading to work or an activity after work before heading home. Maybe not. Keep it to the minimal, is that too hard?
