I just read something, JAPANESE WERE BUDDISTS! I THOUGHT BUDDISM WAS PEACEFUL?
as were many chinese. Japanese follow their own version on Buddhism mixed with other beliefs. Despite what hippies may say, there is no one buddhist religion and each countries version is different. It's like saying unitarians claim to be Christians and catholics are Christians... they must be the same.

Now what have we told you about that thinking? You know you're not equipped for that sort of thing! :-)
(seriously) Remember when you're talking about religion (any religion), we're talking about people. And given 1/2 the chance people will live down to their lowest level, and we must not use the word "all" when talking about people.
