Self-rightous arrogance. Thai people have a spirituality. One that is older than Christianity. Maybe Buddhists should consider a missionary effort in the West? Missionaries = sanctified chauvinism

Destroyers of culture.

Self-rightous arrogance.

Thai people have a spirituality. One that is older than Christianity.

Maybe Buddhists should consider a missionary effort in the West?

They come on the corner of Asoke and Sukhumvit with huge speakers and prodcast for ever and ever. I wish they would practice what they preach and leave people in peace and with their belief. Go home and stay there. Kerm These missionaries are the most annoying things I have seen in ages. They come on the corner of Asoke and Sukhumvit with huge speakers and prodcast for ever and ever.

Perhaps they would be better off back in their homelands ministering to the masses where adultry, divorce, addiction and corruption runs rampant. I'll never understand the unbridled arrogance that makes people think that they have the "only" way for others to live and believe.
