text: last week i asked why the selling of beef is banned on full moon days in sri lanka? i got one answer from a person called zachi which i dont agree with. the buddha never said to force people not to eat meat. there are not only buddhists who live in  sri lanka. they might be the majority...but there are also christians, muslims and hindus living here.most buddhists in sri lanka are hipocrites.most of them eat chicken and fish ....but not beef!can anyone tell me one country with a majority of buddhists which bans the selling of beef on full moon days? no one should have the right to impose their religeous or cultural beliefs on others just because they happen to be a majority in a country!they also ban the selling of alcohol on full moon days? film halls are closed and only religeous programmes are aired on national tv.the buddhists in sri lanka are no better than some of those muslim extremists out there who want some day to make the whole world follow islam!i would like your comments! thanks! why u have such a fuss? if u want to eat beef or anything u want and also alcohol why dont u buy it before and keep it in the refrigerator and use on poya day?  and l agree buddha didnt say anything abt eating meat but its not the main reason for this ban. its a cultural reason not only coz buddhisum as l think.
