Who are the 5 most Evil people throughout modern times
THis is from the birth of man - who are the 5 most evil people on your list?

My list:

  • Adolph Hitler: Nazi Germany & the jews
  • Pol Pot: Khmer Rouge and the Killing fields of Cambodia
  • Joseph Stalen: Millions of Russians 'Sent to Siberia'
  • Slobodan Milosevic: Ethnic Cleansing in the Balkans - most notably in Kosovo
  • Augusto Pinochet: Brutal Dictator of Chile - caused the death or disappearance of thousands of Chileans including reliance on torture.


Who's on your top 5 most evil people of modern time?

12. Mao has to make the list
his great leap backward and Cultural devolution killed tens of millions. Pinochet and Bush are amateurs in comparison.

I really like how he gathered all the intellectuals, told them to come up with new, better ideas, then had them all shot or put in prison.

Beria might also make the list. Himmler, too.

15. I don't know about this pope - but that one during Hitler's era...
...could make the top 20 since he supported the Hitler regime.

But the pope refuses to allow birth control so I can see how that name could make a list

18. weLL
i was going to add bernhard cardinaL Law to the List but i figured

1. no one outside of boston (or news junkies) wouLd know who he is.
2. why not go up the Ladder to the boss?

for aLL the "good deeds" the church does, it's stiLL a cabaL heLd together by power and money. fuck them! they care more about their money and power, than they do about the pedophiLes in their ranks.

and yeah, the church aLso goes against many of my core beLiefs - pro-choice, pro-civiL rights, pro-contraceptives.

10. What about the second stringers?
The Pol Pots of the world get all the endorsement deals. I'm fascinated by the guys who find an niche of evil and mine it like Loretta Lynn's daddy.

Off the top of my head, I would nominate Joseph McCarthy for the farm team. Ty Cobb would be in the minors somewhere as well. J. Edgar Hoover and Roy Cohn.

Bundy would get the serial killer division title I think, because of the sheer randomness of his rage.

Ken Lay?

11. Ronald Reagan and he would crack my top 10
His policies alone have caused millions of death:


  • Central America
  • Afghanistan (we trained the Freedom Fighters which became Al-Qaeda)
  • Saddam Hussein - who do you think gave him those WMDs - Reagan's administration
  • AIDs - I plop this one right on Ronnie's lap. He refused to do anything about it because it was the "Gay Plague" even though research showed that it was being passed through many many other avenues other than Gay Sex.
  • George W. Bush - folks, Bush is not evil, he's a moranic puppet who was to be elected to help continue the Reagan Administration. If Ronnie never was president I can almost guarentee that neither Poppy or Chimpy would have occupied the White House
