If Malaysia Or Vietnam Were Buddhist Nations,

Featured Replies

No way! :o

Living in with the Thai people is not just about their Buddhist beliefs, there's a much deeper (and sometimes simpler) culture that I like in Thailand that does not seem to be present in Malaysia or Vietnam... and I have lived and worked in those countries too. :D

Thailand does it for me.

:D

I also reckon the food is better here too. :D

Taoism: shit happens

Buddhism: if shit happens, it isn't really shit

Islam: if shit happens, it is the will of Allah

Catholicism: if shit happens, you deserve it

Judaism: why does this shit always happen to us?

Atheism: I don't believe this shit

Buddhism while not the major religion is fairly dominant in both those countries. So I dont think religion has much to do with anything.....

You must be joking! :o

52% Muslim, 17% Buddhist, 12% Taoist, 8% Christian, 8% Hindu, 2% tribal

Some sites put the Muslims at 60%

If .My was Buddhist you wouldn't have Muslim morality police raiding bars & discos and beating up the patrons while the reg police looked on......!

Every Vietnamese I've ever known was a buddhist, except for one catholic who hadn't seen the light yet. I'd most certainly count Vietnam as a buddhist country.

That being said, I'd miss the driving here. I'd like playing the old Roadblasters game except I don't have to put in a quarter.

I said fairly dominant and not the major religion...your figures support this as it shows Buddhism as the second most prevalent religion in Malaysia....Thanks :D

Next time read the post more carefully before commenting..... :D

I did, that's why I published those figures. :o

17% or less is negligble(sp)

And on the streets, it looks like the Mozzies are more like 95%. (the perception)

That 17%, if true is spread very thinly over the whole country.

I would dump any country that didn't suit my requirements for dropping anchor.

And those are...? :o

No ... but I would feel a lot more comfortable about Thailand's future.
