I was having a discussion earlier with a couple friends on what we thought was the most heinous act ever committed. The holocaust was the general consensus, although various genocides, slavery, and war related acts came up. What do you all think?

Someone's gonna post that Travelling Thingyberries picture again, aren't they?

The Holocaust was no worse than any other genocide in history. It just gets more attention because the victims were jews.

There have been genocides of equal magnitude in history. The reason the holocaust gets more attention is because it happened in the 20th century, in Europe. You could make a valid point here Humphrey, but I suspect you said this just to piss people off and in the way you said it to seem like an anti-semite. You are a dick, non?

Here we go again...anti-semite here anti-semite there. Knock it off. It's getting old. Critisize Israel or say you don't like your jewish neighbour and you are automatically "anti-semitic". If I had said that the genocide of Armenians by the Turks was no worse than any other genocide nobody would have called me "anti-armenian". You are an idiot, non?

Not the worst act ever committed by man, but up there has gotta be those evil corporations that tried to convince the world that video-games are art.

Video-games! ART!?





Okay sorry about that. Game on.

I will go with the person who came up with the concept of money...

the dropping of atomic bombs on hiroshima and nagasaki.

this was so atrocious i can't even bring myself to think about it. do yourself a favour and never make the mistake i once made of reading medical reports on how those that survived were affected. if i could remove those things from my mind i would.

the Rape of Nanking was a real low-point in human history.

we could talk numbers, this atrocity versus that, etc., but really there's no point because even if you rated the top 10,000 worst acts perpetrated by man you could rest assured the runners-up would make your skin crawl all the same.
