People who use the word "bro" are the worst kind of people.

People who fail to appropriately capitalize are the second.

Pol Pot.

most definitely, that guy was an evil bastard.

As to Vlad the Impaler, he was one of the most important figures in European history, if it wasn't for him, all of Europe would be part of the ottoman empire, and the ottomans were bastards. He definitely does not deserve to be on this list.

Stalin wasn't evil, he just had a tumor in his brain which made him insane. He actually did a lot of good for Russia. Although because he made Russia powerful, he also made them the enemy of the US and started the cold war.

Jack the ripper killed prostitutes, and only prostitutes, he wasn't evil, he was conservative.

Mao wasn't evil he was just kind of dumb. He did something right (the long march) but then wanted something else to be remembered by, so he pushed a ton of new ideas, a lot of which were bad in the hope that one would be brilliant. The Chinese government says he was 60% right 40% wrong. Because I live in Hong Kong, I know that this isn't what the people think. In some parts he is seen as a genius who was 100% right, but most people think he was 30% right 70% wrong, which still doesn't qualify for a tyrant.

Osama was just a pawn, and the Taliban probably killed him already. Or asked him to kill himself.

Strangely, when I go to think about the evilest of the evil I don't think in raw numbers. At some point the magnitude of killing millions is numbing and one must wonder if individuals like Stalin and Hitler truly grasped what they were doing. Certainly they were responsible for some of the world's greatest evils, but were they the most evil people? Who can know?

I think the greatest evil doesn't result in body counts. I think it results in damage to humanity on a deeper level. Human death, while tragic, is nothing out of the ordinary. People die all the time at human hands. The truly evil are those who cause a form of harm to human kind and KNOW they're doing it.

And that's why I don't think we can know who they are, usually. The truly evil remain in the shadows and the likes of us will never know they were there but by the damage they leave in their wake, and we won't know the source.

yes, im grammar challenged, but i do not blame the holocaust on Mengele. yes Adolph was a great horrible man. but he was also a fucked up retard pussy. i feel Mangele out shines him because his experiments (if thats what they could be called) were so horrible that he deserves the spot. if i gave five id give it to Adolph. jack the ripper was in because i didn't know anything really about him and wanted to see how people would react in hopes of learning something about him.

if you know anything about him you know he was both the "angel of death" and "Mengele the protector"

To be fair, Risottia, Hitler may have ordered Nazi atrocities, but people like Mengele actually carried them out (and highly enjoyed doing so, I might add). This is not to minimize Hitler's evil or to say that Mengele is more evil than Hitler - but when you're talking about Nazis, the degree of evil is so great that who is more evil than who is irrelevant, because that's a level almost no one can stoop to, no matter how hard they try.

1.So you're basically saying that the Holocaust was Hitler's responsibility, but the Holocaust as a whole isn't a greater evil than a part of it (Mengele's experiments)? Meh.
2.Stalin, while he had an awful lot of people killed, didn't "force people to fight in WW2" more than Churchill did. Hitler forced the Soviets to fight WW2: it was Hitler who started a war of annihilation (not just a war of conquest: annihilation and extermination) against the Soviet Union (breaking the non-aggression pact), and not the other way around. So, actually, Stalin forced the Soviets to fight less than the British government did with Britons (it was Britain who declared war on Germany after the invasion of Poland). Stalin pwned the Nazis, and that's the only positive thing he did in all his life. No wait, I think that once he said "spassibo" to a butler, and he actually meant it.

Same goes for Stalin. He may have ordered the purges and the deportations, but other people carried them out. And no, I don't think that Berja personally commanded firing squads.

Is "evil" about ultimate responsibility or about direct actions? This is an interesting issue.
One could use the "Nuremberg defence" and roll the buck up and up the gerarchy till it stops on Hitler's, or Stalin's, desk. Or one could say "you should refuse immoral/illegal orders anyway, no matter what" (and you knew that something unpleasant was going to happen to you if you refused Hitler's or Stalin's orders).

this just proves perception is not the only thing thats needed to decide anything. Stalin did raise russia to a power, but it also brought poland despair along with some other small countries.

Also, the torturers during Chilean and Argentinian dictatorships clearly deserve a mention.
