sayami, you can eat what ever you want but you have no right to make fun of your own culture which prohibits eating beef. Beef is not about religion it is about culture. Not eating beef is the core of our culture. I cannot speak for anyone who live in Teaxs, may be there are people who eat beef in Teaxa but I do not care. I care when people like you come in public forum and advertise for the beef industry and degrade our culture. >> I am born as a buddhist and I am still buddhist. good for you and I hope you will learn to be a vegetarian soon because most of the buddists I know defy violance and are vegetarians and live by it. >> In Nepal this restriction was brought by Ranas to keep their satutus holier and higher.What about Sati Pratha?.. >>I hate this kind of debate. The above statement shows how little you know about your own country. What about sati pratha?? What is your point?? I am sure you know by now that sati pratha is illegal! If you cannot take different opinion and hate debate why the heck you come here??
