ChinesePussy, No I don't mean Budism is too kind in the world. I simply mean that to the best of my knowledge Budist are far more tolerant than some other religions, and because of this some people/groups may see them as a soft target.

I would also like to add I don't mean to cause offence to you about your religion and I appologise if I have.

I think people are getting way too Offended by things today , what ever happened to freedom of speech and expression , now don't missunderstand and think I am condoning this , but Hell if ya don't like it don't buy one . I personally don't like people wearing the flag as clothing but I am not gonna raise a stink over it , simply won't do it my self . There are more Important issues we need to be addressing that what people wear as clothing .

Just an Opinion of an Old Biker and Soldier for what it's worth .

Are people getting too offended these days? Or are we beginning to take a good long hard second look at images that can offend members of our socieity that we may have been insensitive to in the past?

A similar situtation happened 2 years ago at a large clothing manufacturer. They created a pair of sandals with a picture of an elephant on them. Im not sure of the symbolism, and which religion it was for, but they were ordered to remove them from the store. It was no big deal (as in there were no protests or anything, the company was just enlightened by a certain religious group)and it was taken care of, as this will be handled Im sure. Not everyone is fluent in other cultures which is why society is greatful of people like you to enlighten us. TY for your time!

I personally wouldn't do it (use a deity on an article of clothing) but what if someone were to say "your acknowledgement of this as a deity offends me because my religion says thou shalt have no gods before me". What then?

Personally I can't see the difference between wearing an image of Buddha on a chain around one's neck and wearing one on a Bikini.....are people offended that a religious image is being displayed on an item of clothing designed to cover the genitals?

If so, what's so evil about genitals? They are the source of life - a very important aspect of Buddhist culture, as far as I'm aware.

Seems odd that it's fine to wear an image of Buddha around the neck, but not on certain other parts of the body, to me. I wasn't aware that there were certain parts of our body that aren't loved by God.

I should add to this, that while I am not a member of any religious group, I live in a Christian Culture and went to a Christian school where the general thinking is that 'graven images' are inappropriate, whether on a swim suit or anywhere else for that matter.

Buddhism does not share this view and statues etc of Buddha are commonplace, but then again (as far as I'm aware, and I'll admit my religious knowledge is not great) Buddha was not a deity.

As I clearly said I am not a Christian (but it's Jesus, by the way, not Jessu) so I can't say it would offend me any more or less than Buddha.

And even if I were a Christian, I really don't think I would be offended as there is nothing offensive about your pussy or anyone elses for that matter. As I said before, what's the difference between wearing an image of a religious figure around your neck, and wearing one on a more intimate part of the anatomy. God made us naked, didn't s/he/it/them?

But, as I stated before, I personally find images of deities somewhat inappropriate no matter where they are.

This day in age, you cant do anything without offending some people anyway. Some people are just more open minded than others (not referring to certain groups, just people in general). A lose/lose situation.

in my brain , (wich isnt the best il admit) i can see how this is disrspectful, but i belive in freedom of speech and clothing is just another way to express urself, i wud never buy one, but i do belive that ppl have the right to wear what they want , as long as they are wearing something. i can def see how this wud up set u tho CP and im sorry u have been offended
