    the internet has made it possible for people all over the world to work together so I reckon it should win! the guy who invented HTML (Sir Tim Berners-Lee) should pick it up on behalf of the world.

    You think Mother Teresa didn't deserve it?

    She didn't according to the real facts and not the white washed history books most people read. The lady was a zealot who preached Catholicism and pushed her own beliefs down the throats of anyone unfortunate to be on their death beds. She compelled people to convert as they died, telling them that it was the only way they would go to heaven otherwise they would spend eternity in hell.

    She embezzled money and sent it to the Vatican, money that was supposed to go to building hospitals across Southern Asia. She demanded that beds in her hospices be made uncomfortable to instil uncomfort because she believed that 'pain was a cleanser' of the body (since Christ died on the cross, etc).

    The real story behind Mother Theresa contradicts her angelic image popularized by the Vatican during her final years. She's not saintly, and some of the things she did completely dilutes any good deeds she was alleged to have done.
