I thought Buddhists were more laid back than that??

I wonder if some of those Hollywood Buddhist types will speak out about the intolerance of their fellow believers??? That is a rhetorical question of course. I figure since those same celebrities are so quick to denounce Christians.

<< Interesting ...in a country infamous for child prostitution ; sex tours ; etc ... >>

There are no more people per capita engaged in the sex business here in Thailand than anywhere else on Earth, including America. Child prostitution is hardly of the scale of bringing "infamy" and in any case almost every customer and every tour operator is a foreigner from such superior and one would presume infamy-avoiding countries as America and from Britain and the various other Europeon states.

And although I've been pretty observant during the 44 years since I first came to Asia, I have yet to meet a Thai [Or for that matter any other kind of Asian] slut.

BUMPping

Your 44 years have not deceived you. One could as easily (and as inaccurately) say:

"In a country famous for Michael Jackson, Paris Hilton, . . . ." Just making a point. It is too easy to take an incident and condemn an entire people.
