It's not too bad in its native countries because those countries have traditional values separate from the religion, but as soon as Buddhism comes in contact with Western liberalism, it folds. There's nothing within Buddhism that enables it to promote good morals for laity. Buddhism assumes good and evil, grounded in karma, but it can't give an account for what that is, so it's inherently weak. Shakyamuni does address these moral questions from time to time, but the canons are historically questionable at best, even practitioners don't take them all that seriously because there are contradictions within respective canons.

The heart of the religion is what your teacher personally transmits to you, it's the life of the sangha, which would be fine EXCEPT all the Asian masters gave valid transmission to the faggots. Even if they weren't personally fags, they just assumed that's how Westerners were, so they created an entire generation of fake hippie masters that want to do nothing but promote communism and butt fucking.
