SMS IN TROUBLE

China has put in place a new law which states that those who indulge in sending indecent SMS jokes to friends are culpable for stringent actions. Now some people in India are contemplating if the same can be introduced here. How queer are some jerks in India!

First China is under Martial Law whereas India is a Democratic country, and secondly, the SMS here are sent between or forwarded between friends. And you always know your friends likes and dislikes, so even by mistake you are not going to hurt his/her sentiments. If China does not allow Text messaging, Freedom of Speech and if the Press in China is under the Government’s scanner can we copy all of this here in India? Then what kind of a Democracy is India having? Are we the Indians trying to copy from other countries or their stupid laws?

For those who are stating that these laws must be passed in India too, must keep away from cell phones and not indulge in Text messaging because they are the ones who are having problems and not the others who text message in lacs and generate huge incomes to the cell operators!

Well as a matter of fact what exactly is indecent or what is the exact demarcation between decent and indecent? What one may find decent the other person might feel offending or indecent? So the basic thing is that you should know the person at the receiving end of your text messaging but putting a law in place is not the best way. Though the MMS video clip circulation was a thing to be controlled and curbed, but according to an overview the most important thing to be curbed is the use of cell phones during meetings, live programmes and other places and educating people about mobile etiquettes!
