Topic: Political poison

Who in your opinion was the worst person to have ever been in vast control. I.E. Dictators, leaders, Religious leaders.
I'd have to say Stalin or Hitler, During World War 2 Japan lost about 2million lives while Russia lost nearly twenty million more.

hmmmm  i think it would be a close tie between those two.....  i'd have to say Stalin was the worst...so that is who i'm going with...  :)

I'm going to go with Stalin just because he was an evil psychopath, but Lenin was really bad as well.  And then there's Pol Pot, the cannibal.

And there's Nero.

i think that hitler was the worst, he all most elmanted a hole culture of people. all stlen did was kill those who oposed him. he had a more logical reson.
(i hope that no gets mad just my opinen.)

Hitler! definately. That son of a b**ch killed ALL THOSE POEPLE!! :mad: He was an evil genius, man! He convinced ALL THOSE PEOPLE to kill all the jews and to have 'the perfect race'.........pfff!! What an idiot!! I hate him! I hope Satan IS shoving pineapples up his butt every day!! (Anyone see the movie Little Nicky ;) )

lol, i think Emperour Neryo in the worst killing hundred of thousands of Christains

Hitler was a propagandist, not really an evil genius. Although, I watched a special called High Hitler; In which it describes his medical condition at the end of the war. He had Parkinson's, Syphilis[affects your nervous systems, sure that's not spelled right.] And his doctor had him on amphetamines. Broken needles in his skin. Also, he was a vegetarian, which screwed with his bowels. The almighty perfect race shouldn't have gas, he took meds for that.
No wonder they lost the war, although he had delusions of his "perfect" race before that.

I have to say (other) because I know the truth. =/

Hitler was evil, but he's nothing compared to Stalin.

Hilter killed around 6 million people, while a very paranoid and cruel Stalin killed around 20 million of his own people. (Which is actually only the second highest death toll of the 20th century behind communist leader Mao Zedong.) His twisted view of communism forced his people to live for years in terror and millions of people would just "dissapear" for speaking against him, for being five minutes late to work, not meeting the high production quos at work, or just because he "suspected" they were a threat to him.

I'm just glad in America we don't have to worry about that kind of thing.

Who, knows.............maybe we will. :/

The whole world is damned anyway, we've all got to die sometime.
I have a very tiwsted out look on my fate, I guess I don't care about dieing. Just as long as I go out with some dignity.

The reason why we don't hear about Stalin is because of Hitler, everybody was worried about Nazis rather than communism. As most of us know the red army was one of our allies after Hitler betrayed Stalin. We sort of let it slide, or we may not have known in the first place.

I'm not worried about dying. Like you said, we've all got to die sometime. I have a child though... That's my only concearn.

I would say Diocletian. He slaughtered Christians.

other than that, I'd have to say  Sixtus IV's Papal Bull and under Ferdinand and Isabella of Castile which were the starters of the spanish inquisition back in 1478.

Well, Kel, we can always hope and pray. Try as we might and as much as we can.

Also, Louis XIV, I forgot about him.
