  • Insensitive and colonizing

    Their mission is to colonize and christianize people, while saying it’s in the name of good will. I went to school with Emma and a bunch of the other missionaries and am very disappointed. Missionaries have no place in this field.

  • Should we give money to homeless

    You guys sound absolutely ridiculous talking about where “your” money goes. When you GIVE it. It’s no longer yours. First and last episode I listen to.
