I am a buddhist. I would like to know others opinion on my religion.. 
We have studied buddhism during our asian studies way back sophomore year. And as I can see, buddhism clearly is set in a peace loving exostence platform. Like every pain or misery that we are experiencing is brought about by our desire. Sounds logical. Luving kike a buddhist entails zen and peace inevery aspect. I agree with you. I was born in a country where Buddhists are around 9% of the population. They are very friendly and peaceful. But I can say a few demerits about Buddhists as well. Some of the Buddhist ethnic groups (such as Tamangs) doesn't value family relationships. They will sell their children for money and buy alcohol using the revenues.
