Moscow considers kissing ban

Moscovites caught kissing in public places could be fined if city authorities pass a new law currently under consideration, according to a Russian newspaper.

Quoting unnamed sources, it said the plan was aimed at raising levels of public morality in the Russian capital.

The newspaper added that "particularly blatant cases could even lead to a spell of temporary detention in jail".


It said that if approved the new regulations would be introduced earlier next year.

Compliments of BBC.

Norway opens 'kiss'n'drive' lanes

A Norwegian hospital has created special "kiss and drive" lanes to allow its staff to kiss loved ones goodbye without blocking ambulances.

St Olav's Hospital - in the central city of Trondheim - came up with the idea after tiring of the traffic jams near the emergency entrance caused by nurses and doctors canoodling in cars with their spouses before rushing to work.

"A kiss is a good way to start the day," says the hospital's brochure that also urges its estimated 5,500 employees not to "get in the way" while they doing it.

Pink hearts are painted on the asphalt to indicate the lanes built on both sides of the road next to the building.

The lanes end about 400 metres from the hospital's emergency entrance, clearing up the way for ambulances , hospital officials say

"It is important to ease access for patient transport and visitors," hospital spokeswoman Marit Kvikne told the Associated Press news agency.

"Staff are encouraged to use the kissing lane on their way to and from work," Ms Kvikne added.

Kissing lanes? cute. They have that the metro stations in LA. It's the place you drop off people. It's called Kiss'n'Ride. But there are no cute hearts painted on the floor. hehe.

Moscow's is about making out in public...
Norway's is about caring for your loved ones...
I think the difference is clear...
I took my cousins to Magic Mountain (an amusement park) a couple of weeks ago... and after I saw what I saw while waiting in line with 10 and 11 year olds... I totally understand what those russians mean...
just utterly disgusting...
I didn't know what to tell the kids...
people seem to have lost their sense of embarrassment...
in today's society, NOTHING is embarrassing... not even touching your girlfriend's breasts from underneath her bra while you're surrounded with people...
I don't think anything's left to be said...

oh.. and I KNOW that Magic Mountain is not a public place... don't make that your arguement topic...

well im sorry adolf, we will have the ss right on these people who dared to flirt. who the xxxx cares if the kids saw, theyre gonna be doing the same thing in 4 years what does it matter when they start let them have fun and watch.

[jahannam]

apparently some people don't know what FLIRTING means...

but sure... let kids see...let em have sex too for all I know...
they're gonna be having it anyway at FIFTEEN
and then they blame God for giving us STDs...

I just hope your kids appear in some kiddy porn one day...

[TJ]

well i used the word flirting in the general sense of the word, is this form of flirting too extreme for you? no my kids wont appear in kiddie porn but if they want to watch porn, then go ahead have a good time.
