that's a discrimination?! you shouldn't jugde people from what they wear when they go to a temple...i have seen white women/ladies going into temples in "asian" part of the city and go visit the temples with shirts and tanks... but your mom is right, in the canadian/american education system, it is taught by teachers NOT to interfere with what the kids want to do, THIS will kill their confidence as they grow, this is taught as well in Singapore for the parents of the babes if they are loud and trying to get attention with their actions, u can dislike them, but still shouldn't call them a whore...or maybe this is the asian culture, as long as ppl wear especially short or ultra low in clothings, ppl will call them whores?
It doesn't matter if you believe in Buddhism, Christianity, or Catholicism, whenever you attend a church/temple, or monastery, it's common sense to dress properly and conservatively as a respect to the religion, the people, and the place itself. It's just like attending a wedding or funeral or school or work. There is a dress code. These aren't baby or little kids, they are adults. I am not discriminating or whatever here, like I said earlier; their action and behavior are not acceptable. AND NO, the media can influence you with fashion trend and shit; but certainly doesn't see to dress like a ho to a religious place. There's a time and place for dressing sexy or whatever .. Perhaps "whore" is a poor choice of word .. I also mentioned my bad word choices earlier .. but in my eyes, they are no different.
^ err if u re-read what i say.. i said the media do influence this but not all religion are as strict as others on dress code... i mean where in the "code" does it say to dress "appropriately" and what does "appropriate" mean? it's different to everyone... the muslims r definitely strict but what baotu the buddhisms and christains? where does it say?? i understand ur rage about this but it's your personal point of view of being conservative and yes morally they should have dressed maybe less skimpy but unless there's a known dress code they would still dress like that if they were a believer
dude ...it's common sense. where does it say you can't dress in jean and t-shirt to a wedding? no where but it's expected that you come in a suit and tie .. hello .. nothing needs to be spelled out. if you're believer, then you gotta respect and dress appropriately. unless these ladies are retard and stupid that they feel such clothing are proper.
a wedding and funeral is known to be a formal meeting therefore it's expected to be worn formally who says the house of Gods is a formal place? I mean in a hot summers day surely some girls r dressed like in jeans but in strappy very low cut tops... is that dressing inappropriately for the weather? and what u have to realise LOTS of people lack the common sense otherwise we wouldnt have this sort of rants here
i can accept the weather problem but read my post again .. i "specifically" said COLD and WINDY .. hello?? are you still asleep?? lollll I know Monday can be a pain to get up .. lollll
hahaha but u have to realise some people can just stand the cold and windyness... i mean UK atm is in a cold snap and at nights it is at its minuses but girls r still going out in skimpy skirts and tops without a coat? it's jsut saying the same things about these girls ... another example is that at somedays i'm cold but my sister is still wearing tshirt and shorts.. does that man she'sa whore coz she doesn't feel the cold as much? lol
HA! you havent seen anything yet.. over here during chinese new yr, i know one temple will have rides (eg. roll caster and etc..), just like a theme park and have kids and teenagers running around and having a party.
totally unrelated to original post? we are talking about dress codes and not about new theme parks being built and having more people running about
if in your eyes, they are the same, THAT = DISCRIMATION already as long as what they wear, you would think that however there is no dress code in front of the temple saying what form of dress code is allowed or not, if a place would req that, even restaurants in hotels req "no shorts" sign outside the place...but temples do not seriously, not everyone HAS to wear formal to attend a wedding, so if you are invited to a wedding and you have 2 kids, will you buy them formal wear for them to attend with you? i wouldn't, they will be just wearing probably jeans and long sleeve shirts...or a khakis and long sleeve shirt... when i was younger in hk, my parents would attend weddings, but they never taught me what to wear, i remember wearing some khakis and long sleeved shirt...some people might not believe but still go to temples/churches to see things, i am one of them well for you is COLD and WINDY but others may not feel the same, i think you are just over-reacting on something others might not care [as much] like you do
But if you have common sense and some respect,you have to dress properly when going at a temple to, mainly Pray!
when you pray who says u need a dress code for it? i mean people can always walk into the temple in the PJs for all they care.. or those homeless people with tacky clothes coming to pray...
Ya'll are talking about the weather and posted dress codes. WTF .. JUST focus on the temple/church/monastery up in the mountain with windy and cold weather; dirt road and rocky ground/path; smoky; crowded; continuous kneeling, and sitting on the cold floor. It's respect and common sense. If you think differently, then perhaps you should go and ask your parents. NO offense here but your parents have obviously failed to teach you what/how to dress properly to a religious place. This has nothing to do with open-minded or being conservative.
i go there once in a while but i aint a prayer, i got in to suck up the smell and get ideas, what i usally wear is army camouflage pants and fleece top, i don't consider that as too much respect to anything but hey they could be tourists...tourists will wear shirt and tank top on a tour and just that it happen the tour includes a temple?
STFU Why the hack do you need to bring parents into this topic?!? My parents never failed at teaching me about common sense and how to respect others, but if they aren't believers, then they wouldn't have an idea about the so called dress code for religious places, because they just never go to these places! I just get freaking annoyed of people that are religious saying that people doesn't respect them and bladiebladiebla while they can't even place themselves to non believers and understand them for a bit. NO offense
That is fine, the usual dress code for religious area would be less skin revealing, underwear revealing, cleavage revealing and any offensive words clothes
