yeah cuz the holocaust and "single event" seem to be so hand-in-hand

all those things listed are under the umbrella of WW2, they cannot be viewed as independent events, the narrative doesn't make sense if you view them that way. its not like America dropped the bombs for no reason , despite what some of you might want to believe

Auschwitz alone was gassing to death up to 20,000 people EVERY DAY. Including women and children. Every single day of holocaust, if viewed as a single event, is so much worse than what you are referring to. It's a tragedy what happened to those kids but it really pales in comparison to so many other things.

While I don't get why you feel the need to capitalize "EUROS" you might want to take notice that I listed massacres committed by, uhm EUROS. Even one committed by germans (my nationality)

But whatever, if you want to see the killings of innocent americans as the sickest single event in the history of mankind, how about 911? Was that four seperate events? Or 6 (the 4 impacts of the planes and the 2 crumblings of the towers), or 10 (the hijackings of the planes, and the...), or 14 (the boardings of the hijackers, and the...)?

I don't know about you, but to me 911 seems pretty sick and pretty single event-ish and most if not all of the victims were pretty innocent (I don't know if there were more than 40 children among them, though, sorry).

I never meant to say that the holocaust is less "worse". I sure wouldn't commit that faux pas. But it isn't a single event. The context is a lot bigger. I'm talking about unique, isolated events.

At least McVeigh targeted a federal building full of (mostly) adults.

Euros were the victims too

you're just being idiotic with your inability to recognize what are isolated events and those that are part of a larger context or narrative. 9/11 was clearly bigger than just the hijackers prerogatives. It was just the next progression in the previous attacks on the WTC, US african embassies, naval bombings, etc.

McVeigh and OKC would have been a way better suggestion.

I'll close my involvement in this discussion with the words that I initially entered it with:

You, sir, are... I don't have words...

Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

I am interested if anyone can come up with a single, ISOLATED event worse than bath. That isn't part of some bigger war or movement.

less stupid debate, more interesting wikipedia articles

here here

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...s#Mass_murders

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabur%C5%8D_Sakai

i mean, obviously you're just trolling this thread, and very successfully i might add

but even on that page, and abiding by your completely ******ed argument about 'context,' you can easily find 'worse' events

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niterói_circus_fire

300+ killed as opposed to 44. unless this was just part of the broader context of the ongoing war on clowns.

Interesting, wish the wiki page was more thorough on it

I've made it a bit more thorough.

Expecting deletion of my edits any minute, so here's the screenshot

An excellent read. And a good example of how sometimes your enemy is worthy of respect too.

I get this fairly often, wake up in the morning totally paralysed cant open eyes or move but know im awake, usually come out of it after a couple minutes, happen to anyone else here?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_war_in_Afghanistan

Not sure many people know of Americas role in supporting and supplying Afghanistans mujahideen fighters with millions of dollars in arms and aid in the 70/80s, pretty interesting

stop aidsing this thread up plz.

Amazing that SnotBoogy finishes that argument thinking he is not the one acting irrationally and looking ******ed.

It was all worth it, I got tons of drawn out responses, multiple people scouring wikipedia, one guy changed an entry, and people are still responding like you.

Plus bombing an elementary school is still an all-timer of a stand-alone sick event.

I'd say it's #winning all around here.

I was totally going to respect the request to stop aidsing it up with this discussion, but as long as other people keep firing it out there, let the good times roll.

WIKIFIGHT!, WIKIFIGHT!...

lets create the sickest wikifight in the history of mankind!
