    Mother Teresa. She held me in her arms when i was a baby ( Im from Calcutta) She never acted like she was famous one bit. Everyone saw her walking around the streets helping people all the time. :brokenheart: We need more people like her.


    Mother Teresa was a fraud. She was not a friend of the poor. She was a friend of poverty. She said that suffering was a gift from God. She spent her life opposing the only known cure for poverty, which is the empowerment of women and the emancipation of them from a livestock version of compulsory reproduction .As a result, she publicly supported policies that led directly to greater suffering among the people she had pledged to help, discouraging the use of prophylactics that could have prevented unwanted pregnancies and slowed the spread of AIDS and other STDs.

    Mother Teresa’s Homes of the Dying served only to warehouse the sick in unsanitary conditions until they were too weak to protest against baptism into the Catholic faith. Lets not even get into the atrocities at her homes for the dying. The last thing we need isore people that think suffering is a good thing.

    She wasn't a fraud. She was Catholic.* She didn't waver in her beliefs and while I may not agree with them, she stuck by them to the end. Those things that sound horrible to some people, sound right for others. It doesn't mean either is right, it just means they have differing opinions. Mother Theresa just wasn't swayed by the opinions of others, and I applaud her for that.

    *This is by no means saying Catholics are frauds, just that she was very religious (obviously!) and stuck to her guns. One can call her a fraud for the things she did/didn't do, but it wasn't because she was fraudulent, it was because it was her belief system and she stuck to it.

    Yup. I was shocked when I saw her true face through Penn And Teller's show. That, and I was shocked to learn that Ghandi was kind of a creepy pervert who liked to give young girls enemas.

    It seems like all the actresses died so close to one another. Except Betty White, who is still kicking *kitten* and taking names.

    Have you been to India? Have you seen the suffering and horrible conditions? Have you seen people walk up to her crying for help? She walked with my dad one time and on their way she saw a man fallen in the gutter. Without even thinking she bent down and tried to pick him. She couldnt, so my dad lifted him up and took him back with her where she put him on a clean bed and got nurses to clean him feed him.... Im not Catholic...ive seen her work, first hand. ....this comment you wrote is truly poisonous. Have you tried helping people even a fraction of the way she tried?

    I agree. I think everyone here has suffered enough from your unsolicited trolling. Back to the original thread. Nothing to see here...

    How am I trolling because I think she wasn't the "saint" she's made out to be? Do a little research on the woman. Crap Angelina Jolie does more for the poor than she did.

    I almost never get upset over the death of a celebrity that I have no personal connection to. But there was one that really got to me. Steve "The Crocodile Hunter" Irwin.

    He just seemed to be such a good person, and so committed to conservation and furthering awareness of his causes, I just took it hard when he passed.

    Mother Teresa was not as much a fraud as running a profitable business as any other CEO. They cared about the bottom line profit. Poor people are good for business.

    I've helped people more. I don't belive suffering and pain and death are good things like her. The children strapped down to beds and gagged, the horrible conditions people faced in her homes. Please tell me how they are good things.she refused pain medication to dying people so they could be more like Jesus in their suffering.

    Ok so all the accounts of others that were in the homes is false. The person I know who's sister died in one of mother Teresa's cesspools is just making up the stuff she saw.
