  • You may want to brush up on Indian history, including the 19th century India-China wars on (export) of opium.

    India had no legislation regarding narcotics until 1985

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcotic_Drugs_and_Psychotropic_Substances_Act,_1985

    If you check the "non criticism" parts of Mother Teresa's Wikipedia article linked earlier, you may notice how "this Nun from another country" was receiving Indian awards since 1962.

    So no, there is no justifying of what she did for decades... unless you want to think the Indian government was fine with removing the terminally ill off the streets and dumping them into a hellhole run by a bunch of religious fanatics.

    no one's ever heard of Pallative Care, because Theresa's in the middle of inventing the concept!

    Except palliative care is not praying the pain away, this is:

  • Earth will become a molten blob in a few billion years... then over a billion billion billion billion billion billion billion billion billion billion times later...

    Whatever lives on Earth in a billion years from now, if it spreads out, will have a few billion times more billions of years to live.

  • you're literally just regurgitating the hit piece done by Hitchens

    Not sure which sources are you regurgitating, since Morphine was legal for medical use, and you completely glossed over Metamizole.

    Sounds like the "War on Drugs" talking points, that have so effectively spread illegal (and highly profitable) opioid abuse in the US.

  • You don't seem to know there is more than one kind of painkiller (US, land of the opioids, amirite?). India had banned oral opium, not for medical use; they didn't join the Metamozole banning stupidity until 2013, just in time for other countries to start legalizing it as a way to combat opioid addictions (coincidentally, the opioid epidemic in the US started about when Metamozole got banned... surely no relation).

    Saint Mother Teresa, kept giving her patients acetaminophen, several orders less effective than any of the alternatives she had available.

    You're quoting "Hell's Angel" which has been pretty thoroughly debunked as bullshit

    Haven't read that, and don't plan on doing so. If what I'm saying, based on public sources, happens to match what's written in there, then you might want to revisit your definition of "pretty thoroughly debunked as bullshit".

  • There has never been any credible accusation of Mother Teresa stealing money from her hospice to give to the Vatican

    That's a funny way of saying that she sent over 90% of donations directly to the Vatican, instead of putting them towards hospice work. Sure, she didn't "steal from her hospice"... the money didn't even reach the hospice in the first place!

    But hey, she managed to spare some change to fund monasteries over Europe, and followed Mahatma Gandhi's steps in "no painkillers for thee, but all of them for me".

  • Sure, but how often does that happen to servers running 24/7? They'd have to set up some sort of dead man's switch, movement sensors, or something. It's unlikely they'd get a day's notice that the servers are going to be confiscated for forensic analysis.

  • You likely make coffee by boiling some water... then let it fall into a cold container that soaks up much of the heat, and maybe even pour it into another cold container afterwards, which is where you drink it from.

    They brew the coffee the same, but then keep it in a heated container, and pour it into another disposable container (paper cup, styrofoam) that doesn't soak out barely any of the heat.
