Is this the Wm.Esque troll?
Post by Wm. M. BettsPost by Jeanne DouglasPost by OxyaenaI don't know about you, but to me Mother "Fucking" Teresa wasn't that
great of a person, I`m not about to get myself involved with trolls so
I`m just going to leave it at that.
Her many faults and hypocrisies are subjects we've discussed often here.
Once you've sacrificed your life in a god-forsaken primative part of the
world to people who are little more than savages, then you might have a
right to criticize a saint, such as Mother Teresa.
What a fucking moron.
She was a charlatan who amassed large amounts of money for the
Catholic church, none of which was used in her hospices.
She refused main-killing meds for the dying, saying pain was "the kiss
of Jesus".
Among the people who sent her large amounts of money was Charles
Keating of Lincoln Savings and Loan, who had defrauded his investors.
Judge Lance Ito (later well known for the O.J.Simpson case) wrote to
her on behalf of the creditors, asking for it to be returned, and she
refused.
My employer's 401K lost a lot of money in this - he was paying safe,
conservative returns while making highly risky investments and
pocketing the difference. When it failed, billions of dollars were
lost.
In spite of not even providing basic care for her "patients", she flew
to the US in a private jet for the best medical care available when
she needed it.
She was the despair of the authorities because she exacerbated the
problem of the urban poor by following the RCC's non-contraception
policy.
Earlier, during the civil war between West and East Pakistan that led
to the independence of Bangladesh, she had offered her help to the UN
and they unwisely accepted. She set up homes for the victims of the
Pakistani army's rape and forced pregnancy program. But she refused
them the abortions they needed resulting in deaths from suicide and
botched abortion.
It even came out that she had crises of faith, which she resolved by
enforcing her beliefs on her patients.
She was just plain evil.
Nice synopsis of an unreasonably praised life. The idea that Mother
Theresa can be considered a "saint" is obscene. There are some people
who have lived worse lives than hers, but I haven't heard anyone
clamoring for "Saint Idi", "Saint Pol", and the like. Mother Theresa
was a vicious, horrible person, and anyone who admired her to any extent
should be ashamed once he realizes how she actually behaved.
No doubt you get your "information" from other atheists who have no love
of appreciation for truth.
Do you have the least shred of indication of that, or are you just
pulling it out of your own deranged world view? I don't seek out
atheists for my news, and don't ask news providers for any sort of proof
of religion. Why would I? You're just being ludicrous.
He's just doing that to try and annoy.
Post by BruceSPost by Wm. M. BettsOne can be sure you feel the ISIS terrorist
are justified in the recent mass beheading of Christian in Iraq and the
mass murder of Christians in the Middle East.
He's seriously mentally ill.
Post by BruceSNow you're even further off the deep end. I hope you were really,
really drunk when you wrote that. I have never expressed the least bit
of sympathy for terrorists of any sort. I despise ISIS et al, and would
be happy to see them wiped off the face of the planet. That does not in
any way lessen the evil of Mother Theresa, a despicable person who
should be remembered as such. The only ways to admire her are through
ignorance and through love of evil. Do you also admire and defend Idi
Amin, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Pol Pot, etc.?
He's a troll - in other words, a psychopath, a narcissist, a sadist, a
bully and a coward doing it while hiding behind the electrons.
When you're on the receiving end of this sort of thing, you don't need
to be a psychiatrist to realise that...
Internet Trolls Are Narcissists, Psychopaths, and Sadists
A new study shows that internet trolls really are just terrible human
beings.

In this month's issue of Personality and Individual Differences, a
study was published that confirms what we all suspected: Internet
trolls are horrible people.
Let's start by getting our definitions straight: An Internet troll is
someone who comes into a discussion and posts comments designed to
upset or disrupt the conversation. Often, in fact, it seems like there
is no real purpose behind their comments except to upset everyone else
involved. Trolls will lie, exaggerate, and offend to get a response.
They conducted two online studies with over 1,200 people, giving
personality tests to each subject along with a survey about their
Internet commenting behavior. They were looking for evidence that
linked trolling with the "Dark Tetrad" of personality traits:
narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and sadism.
They found that Dark Tetrad scores were highest among people who said
trolling was their favorite Internet activity. To get an idea of how
much more prevalent these traits were among Internet trolls, see this
figure from the paper:

Look at how low the Dark Tetrad scores are for everyone except the
trolls! Their scores for all four traits soar on the chart. The
relationship between trolling and the Dark Tetrad is so significant
that the authors write in their paper:
"... the associations between sadism and GAIT (Global Assessment
of Internet Trolling) scores were so strong that it might be said that
online trolls are prototypical everyday sadists." [emphasis added]
Trolls truly enjoy making you feel bad. To quote the authors once more
(because this is a truly quotable article): "Both trolls and sadists
feel sadistic glee at the distress of others. Sadists just want to
have fun ... and the Internet is their playground!"
The next time you encounter a troll online, remember:
These trolls are some truly difficult people.
It is your suffering that brings them pleasure, so the best thing
you can do is ignore them.
