    Costa Ricans face jail for chatting up women

    Man in Costa Rica can now be sent to prison for trying to chat up women.

    A new law says women can have men arrested for paying them unwanted compliments, reports Las Ultimas Noticias.

    Offenders face punishments of up to 50 days in prison or a fine if found guilty.

    A police spokesman in San Jose said: "It will be hard for us to tell if the flattery is offensive or not.

    "People are very different, but we will enforce the new law and trust women's judgement."
    Well, there you have it. If you are in Costa Rica, do not compliment the women there, they might decide it is unwanted and they will send you off to prison. It appears that in dealing with Costa Rican women you will be force to stick insults.

    WTF? Costa Rica was supposed to be very democratic!
    For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

        Next time you're in a locker room and a really fat 60 year old man constantly compliments you, maybe you'd reconsider your opinion.

              Risking all of you yelling at me im gonna say this. not all the things some of you guys say is considered a compilment. Telling a woman that you dont know that the have pretty hair might be ok but saying hey baby you have a nice ass might get their goat a bit. I would have said something in spanish as an example but tubes told me that i couldnt, that is speak a language some dont understand in an english speaking thread.

                  For some it may be but I think if i was walking down the street and noticed you and said nice package you might be offended.

                          By 'complimenting' her, your basically judging her primarily on physical attributes, and reducing her to a physical object. It's dehumanizing. That may not be what you meant, but that's the cultural inference.

                          Of course, this new law totally violates freedom of speech. Horrible.

                            What if a woman compliments a man? Or another woman? A man compliments a man?

                            It sounds like straight guys get screwed... except not in the good way.
