During the trial it was revealed that McDonald’s knew that heating their coffee to this temperature would be dangerous, but they did it anyways because it would save them money. When you serve coffee that is too hot to drink, it will take much longer for a person to drink their coffee, which means that McDonald’s will not have to give out as many free refills of coffee. This policy by the fast food chain is the reason the jury awarded $2.7 million dollars in punitive damages in the McDonald’s hot coffee case. Punitive damages are meant to punish the defendant for their inappropriate business practice.
It was India in the 1950’s dude
Precisely, dude:
1884 maybe…
Sides, what makes you think she even had this. The Indian Governement’s always been strict and it’s not like they’re giving this Nun from another country access to top of the line medicine. Especially when her patients are people so far gone that hospitals literally will not take them, because no one’s ever heard of Pallative Care, because Theresa’s in the middle of inventing the concept!
You may want to brush up on Indian history, including the 19th century India-China wars on (export) of opium.

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

Okay the fact that terminally ill people were on the streets is already a really big problem in and of itself. But hey, fuck Mother Theresa for trying to do something about it eh?
I’m done with this conversation, say what you want. I’m not replying again.
