Murder is the worst thing you can do to another human being, IMO. So it would seem to follow that the man who killed the most people in history, Josef Stalin, is the worst man that ever lived.

You could argue the Hitler started WW2 that killed more people in the long run, but many variables contributed to the start of that war.

TBH I'd rather be murdered than tortured for weeks.

'Nyways I voted Stalin because I can't think of another human being who manipulated SO many people through SO many sick tactics.

I mean, listen, it's probably Jim Jones but I voted Hannity anyway. The thing is, for good or ill, at least every other person on this poll accomplished something with their lives and will be remembered in some form or another. What has Hannity ever done with his life that was so awesome?

By that logic most people would be abominations.

Yes, it's true. We all lead miserable, pointless existences and with each passing day we become increasingly more jaded bastards because of that grim fact. I'd say one in every thousand people isn't a complete abomination or failure, but even that seems a little high

The many years of remaining life in exchange for a bit of torture? I don't see how anyone would want to die in that situation, if they knew there was going to be an end to their suffering.

I'll admit my life is pretty directionless and pointless, but I'm fine with that. I wouldn't say I'm miserable. I haven't done anything especially impressive, but doesn't mean I don't enjoy life. The fact that I won't be remembered doesn't effect me at all.

Anyway let's not derail this thread.
