Well, all this anti US sentiment sort of makes me not want to post on this board.

Trust me, we're not perfect by any stretch.

Personally, I think the Tamoil logo is ugly to begin with.

Don't worry about that mate, it's nothing against Americans, it's just that some of our more left-leaning members take issue with Corporate America's "exploitation" of the poorer sections of our world. Nobody really has anything against Americans, I mean unless you are the president of Nike or something.

She does (or did) have enemies, or at least one...(looks confused, wonders if he is the crazy one or if it's just everyone else)...

Just the fact that she was a Catholic missionary and to me personally, nothing could be more evil or despicable than that/

 

[Layce Erayce]

so what is it that you disagree with? her being catholic? being a catholic missionary?

Being a missionary, first of all, because I think that forcing your religion on others or coercing them to convert is one of the most evil things in the world. And to continue to answer your question would be offensive to many people I'm sure...

I'd call Mother Thersea's work more of coersion, but it's the same concept.
