I have to admit that I don't get many of the topics on this section of the board, but I saw this ranking of the worst people in history and noticed several characters that people on this section of the board seem to like to discuss. Just giving everyone another data point to consider. Enjoy!

I wouldn't believe most of these are as bad as the US media makes out, even Saddam Hussein was adored by his people for a long long time, treated like a god if you read autobiographies from around the early 90's of his people.

Josef Mengele survived well on being paid off by the Americans and lived a great life in South America in return for his "Works Findings"

I would put a couple of American Presidents up there too, but won't start a war!

One would be who started the slaying of Native Indians in the US and I bet those slaughtered amount to way more than half of these guys did altogether.

I'd put Mao Zedong closer to the top as he pretty much caused a famine that killed around 60 million people. Also if you look up some of the worst serial killers in history, you'll find that most make Dahmer and Manson look somewhat sane. Examples being Elizabeth Bathory, Pedro Lopez, and Gilles De Rais (this bastard was ridiculous).
