"VERY cool govt + system"
You have got to be fucking kidding me. Yeah, oral sex is illegal, that is "VERY cool".
Maybe the biz aspect works for you, and the MRT is good, but I just have this very nasty feeling about governments like that.
- falsestprophet 18y agoSodomy, including heterosexual oral sex, was illegal in many places in the United States until the Lawrence vs. Texas decision in 2003.
- sho 18y agoYeah, but at least America has a free enough press and a transparent enough legal system that you can have reasonable faith that an attempt to prosecute anyone for some ridiculous outdated law would generate enough outcry and derision that it probably wouldn't go ahead. Or if it did, it would be overturned, as in the law you quote. Singapore, who knows?
- ichverstehe 18y agoLike, uh, gay marriages.
- helveticaman 18y agoI asked my friend, who is a former Singaporean police officer, and he says that oral sex law isn't enforced. Same goes for anal sex.
- sho 18y agoSo why hasn't it been struck off the books? I distrust any government that keeps such laws around just in case they need something to get you with. Overcriminalisation, I think it's called. Not that I have a surfeit of trust in other governments but you get the point.
- helveticaman 18y agoYeah, good point.
