    The Kampuchea Krom monks take to the streets in a protest against the Vietnamese government's treatment of their fellow monk brothers.

    However, their demonstration is gatecrashed by rival Cambodian monks. The opposing groups launch into fist fights and throw water bottles at each other.

    No Nirvana for these boys anytime soon.

    That would put all the monotheisms in the multi-megaton category.

    The Greeks and Romans, the Vikings and Norwegians, the Mayans, Aztecs and native Americans will not be happy to be considered pussies.

    I don't know if this was directed at me.
    First, not killing a lot of people does not make one a pussy. (which is a pretty sexist term, generally used to make men feel bad because they are like women ('s genitals in this case).
    Second, my point was that Buddhism, compared to other religions that cross many cultural and country borders, is on the non-violent end of the spectrum.

    I think your statement just shows that you know very little about Buddhists. For some reason people in the West have the weird idea that people are inherently different from each other.

    Its why Buddhism disappeared from India after 1500 years of being the dominant religion. They were essentially decimated by the resurgence of the Brahmins

    Put a bunch of young males together in any situation...and it's like a mixture of gasoline and matches. Islamists, Buhdist monks, ghetto kids, footballers, construction workers, Nazis, Commies, KKK or 'whoever'. Ravaging group mentality looniness takes over.

    Mark Twain spoke wisdom when proclaiming that all males should be raised in barrels, fed with hoses and only allowed out when ready to marry and settle down.
