[quote=Anonymous]It's funny that these posters think criticizing mission trips is "mean". I think it's "mean" to destroy communities, family relationships and cultural traditions just so that you can 'see first hand' how other people live. It's selfish and mean to do harm to others so that you can act like you are bettering yourself. But wait, that's not even how mission trips advertise. They advertise that you are "saving others" that you are doing good for the the poor and poverty stricken. So which is it? If mission trips are simply about selfish experience then advertise them like that. Something like, we are collecting money so we can go see what poverty is like in the highlands of Guatamala, thanks for the donation. It's not like that though is it? You're going with these high horse ideals of harvesting "poor lost souls". These groups are disingenuous. That is mean. [/quote]
