I always liked best the stories in which those missionaries were cooked and eaten.
As for criticising CV, that in itself has very little to do with history, culture etc. See http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...1#post14245359

I pointed to some, er, problems in the video I linked to. All you (arrogantly) could answer was "ROFLMAO" etc. If I've been arrogant myself, I'm sorry, but it's something that will easily happen when one tries reasoning with people who stubbornly misread; tell you that you just don't get it ("it" being irrelevant to the specific issue); or simply espond with "ROFLMAO".
