5 precepts

Just a quick question. I was really a thread on a Buddhist forum and the subject of the 5 precepts came up. Most of the people on the forum followed Tibetan buddhism or other types of mahayana buddhism . Most of them seemed to be of the opinion that the 5 precepts are only followed on certain days and some of them only followed some of the 5 precepts. I mainly learned theravada (thai Forrest monks ) tradition and in that tradition the 5 precepts are meant to be followed or at least tried to be followed every day by everyone.
