Law should put a stop to love shows

A photo of a young couple having a passionate kiss on a subway in Shenyang, Liaoning province of Northeast China, has gone viral and invited a flood of criticism for the couple's behavior. Comments:

Overly intimate behavior in public should by no means be seen as a breakthrough for the so-called "moral revolution", because under the current social norms, it is natural for ordinary people to feel disgusted, rather than simply old-fashioned and conservative. To morally speak against or prohibit it through legislation reflects the attitude of the public toward such misconduct, which is to put it within the framework of social order and good morals. The problem is how to effectively implement such regulations.
