CafeDelMar :
No worries. I did not think anything you posted was offensive. Besides, it's all good!! ha ha ha!!
fastmover:
Yeah. Always quote someone that you are responding to. This way they can't edit their post and then make you look stupid. Not that CafeDelMar was going to do that.
And, I see now. Understand your meaning about Z-Forum or closed.

The fact that they are taking offense shows how far from the path they really are. F*ck 'em.
My thoughts exactly. My respect for Buddhists has gone down a notch because of these imbeciles (even though I hope they are not representatives of all buddhists).
Or how far from the path is one who says simply f*ck the sensibilities of everyone else.
There is a big difference between artistic freedom (and freedom of self-expression) vs. going deliberately out of your way to intentionally disrespect someone or something (and even that has some utility).
Do you intend to prevent the production of any item that might ever offend anyone? Why stop at Buddhas on bikinis, as there are about a billion people in the world who are offended by any kind of bikini? Might as well shut down this forum too, as it is insensitive to Thais, to women (and quite often to intelligent thinkers).
By the way, did you hear Salman Rushdie has written a follow-up to "Satanic Verses"? It's called "Buddha, you fat f_ck." (old joke)

The telling point VJ makes is that getting into an emotional and confrontational state over such worldly things as symbolic imagery flatly contradicts the Buddha's teachings.
Very well, there is religion in the abstract and religion as it finds cultural expression. Very many people have noted the often extraordinary mismatch down the ages between Christian practice and the teachings of Christ.
I said 'their sensitivities aside' because, as chompoo notes, that is a separate issue. I certainly don't believe in outraging Thai religious sensitivities - imho, anyone doing so on Thai turf deserves whatever they get.

Yeah that was gross. Two short, fat, ugly guys, like they were made for each other. Guess LOS is only a place they can dream about so they took solace in each other.
It's like they have the same hairdresser to.

sanook269....Her ability with English was likely quite limited.
When she says 'sexy' it may not mean the same to her as it means to you. She is probably relating the word 'sexy' to good or positive, just what the word 'sexy' means when we see something we like or feel positive about. Unfortunately the frame of reference for her to see something positive or feel something positive in English is likely to be related to sex.
