Britons sentenced to 1 month in jail for kissing on cheek.
 

You do realize that kissing on the cheek is legal there, right? Your title and comment are a clever mockery of people completely mangling an article, right?

It should still be bombed. Prolly lots of terrorist wanna-bes there. And just cuz.

Only correct answer:

U235 + n -> Ba141 + Kr92 + 3n

I don't like authoritarian laws (social or economic) anymore than the next guy, but C'MON...

They were sentenced for kissing ON THE LIPS and touching. Believe their claim that it was only on the cheek if you want, but let's not mangle the situation beyond its twisted reality.

1. Whenever traveling -- their country, their laws, their cops, their courts, your risk.

2. The denial is equally hearsay, and there appear to be multiple witnesses supporting the lips/touching thing.

3. Innocent until proven gulty is not an international standard.

A bunch of white people saw that negro rape that man's wife. Get the rope!

A bunch of white people saw that negro rape that man's wife. Get the rope! Obviously, it's the negro's fault for kissing her on the lips.

Witnesses can see lots of things. I'm surprised you don't think it's plausible.

How were these neckers sentenced before they have been convicted?

Sex would be great if you could be thrown in prison for it.

You might want to think about that statement for a minute.

Most Brits I have seen are so ugly that they should get 6 months for any public display of affection.

You seem to fail at understanding that most arabs living down their are racists. They will never let an opportunity pass to piss on whitey or blackey for that matter.

Agreed. I wonder why people insist on going to places like this. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/dunno.gif

She claims they kissed on the cheek.

We don't do that already? http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...s/confused.gif

Humans tend to be rational unless conditioned otherwise. Racism and xenophobia are irrational.

I can't believe you claim that Nazism is the natural state for humans. That's repugnant.

I reject that. The people in question have been 'conditioned' to fear anything different. Fear based on prejudice is not natural or rational. Basic ecologic, DNA or diversity based survival instinct dictates that compatible foreigners are a treasure. According to your reasoning, inbreeding or a reduction of genetic diversity is a natural status quo. Your logic is in opposition to all known natural science. If people, or the biosphere for that matter, were naturally inclined to monoculture... life itself would not exist.

You are fundamentally wrong; break your chains.

Yeah, Heraclitus is right on this. Human beings instinctually fear "others" not of their particular "clan." This is why ethnic tribalism formed the basis of human society for so long and cultural melting pots are a relatively new phenomenon. The entire history of human civilization is a progression to less and less culturally biased and insular societies.

According to your reasoning, inbreeding or a reduction of genetic diversity is a natural status quo. Your logic is in opposition to all known natural science. Er, no. Virtually all animal species exhibit even more xenophobia, even to members of the same species, than humans do. It has been documented that "clans" of chimps engage in genocidal warfare with each other. Most animals are viciously territorial in the wild.
