Then when a man kissed a woman (and YEAH - he was either drunk or on something) in public - they freak? I would have thought they would have been offended that Richard looked like he was forcing himself on a woman that didnt want to be kissed.

Do these people fuck without kissing?!?
More importantly, how do they feel about girl on girl kissing, cause I would have done the same!!!
(Damn you Richard Gere - damn you!)

Still, it isn't the smartest thing to do in a country with very different morals. These countries are very religion oriented, everybody knows that. That's one of the main reasons WHY they are against the use of condoms. So, it was simply very stupid of Gere to do what he did, when he was there to win people over for something they're not naturally, because of their religion, inclined to do. He should've won them over, instead he - keeping their religious culture in mind - provoked them and may even have turned them off. You can't get any more stupid than that.

^^ I agree.

I have a friend who spent some time working in India. In the place where he worked, the women were completely separated from the men and had their own area. They didn't look at the men and they weren't allowed to talk to them unless the men spoke first and it was work-related. He said it felt really weird having to talk to Indian women about their jobs, their eyes were always averted and they hardly said anything in reply.

It's a different world.

Sure, next time I fire up the barbeque. See the effigy of Richard being burned here: LiveLeak.com - Protesters Burn Richard Geres Effigy And Posters I don't know what's being said though.
