No mo' Buddha?


There is a motion sweeping Thailand to ban tourists from recieving Buddha tattoos.

"Thailand to stop drawing Buddha on people's bodies because his image is sacred and has asked provincial governors to inspect parlors to assure that they are not defying the decree."

"Culture Minister Niphit Intharasombat said in a statement that his office has received complaints from residents that the practice is growing rampant and is disrespectful and insensitive."

Do you think they are correct in preventing from others having their holy image?

I think it is a little disrespectful to get the image when you visit there but your body is your body, and the people giving them the tatoos are just trying to make a living so why limit them like that.

if the pope said tommorow that people shouldn't get jesus tattoos then you'd probably want to stop people from doing it. Different religions have different things as offensive.

i think those people who want to get that tattoo should be allowed to. it could be a way of expressing their religion.

 I wouldn't listen to a man, the only person who has power over me and tells me what to do is my dad. The only God tells me what to do is God.

 why would the pope say that? I mean it's our personal choice  to get tattoos, and know one can interfere with that right. So it wouldn't really matter if the pope said Jesus tatoos were banned. people would still get them.

look its kinda like how christians want to get gay marraige and abortion banned and muslims dont want drawings of mohammed even though it doesn't impact them.... if it insults your religion then you want it banned.

 I dont care if gay marriage is allowed, if they want to do that go ahead. Just don't be really open about it, and don't talk to my kids about it in school.

 I don't really have any problem with gay marriages. just like josh said don't talk about it so openly to kids who you don't want them to find out about. Yeah sure there will be a time when I will have to speak to my kids about those things but not openly.
