Thats wasnt a crime, it was an atrocity. Its in a whole different category. And no-one individual or group can be blamed for the whole problem (Not even Hitler), it was a massive operation with thousands of perpetrators.[/QUOTE]well, it WAS only one guy who was in charge of the whole thing, so imo he's the one to blame.[/QUOTE]Maybe , maybe not. If someone told you to jump in a fire, would you? If the nation wanted to revolt, they could have probably (i dont know this, I wasnt there). Someone close could have ended Hitlers reign, but they didn't.

A manager isn't soley responsible for a teams performance, the players must play.[/QUOTE]oh, but they tried, remember they tried to bomb him ? Just didn't work out. And if someone tells me to jump in a fire, i tell him he has to wait untill i finished my beer, and after that he can kiss my butt.

I think that the greates crime known to mankind is SELF IMPORTANCE. When you think that your way is the only way or that everything you do is right , that is self importance. Genocide is a form of self importance because someone thinks that only the people they deem fit to live should. Religeon is a form of self importance because almost every one claims to have the absolute truth. Murder, robbery and rape are all form of self importance because the person who does these things thinks that they are ok to do , simply because they can do them. If people considered how the things they do will affect others I think the world would be an easier place to live in.

any crime against a child...any harm done to a child be it sexual, physical or emotional.

i dont think it really was 6 million. methinks it was less *coughpropagandacough*

uss?do you think before you say these things?

That number pales in comparison to the number of murders committed by Stalin and Pol Pot. I believe Stalin's body count was around 15 million or so and Pol Pot was 2 - 3 million Sorry I got Pol Pot confused with someone else..working on the numbers now. Still 2-3 million due to the actions of a single man is significant. The Japanese Miltary is responsible for millions of rapes during World War 2 as they saw women as theirs for the taking all accross the South Pacific.

actually magic i think it was something like one million.but what makes it really bad was that cambodia only had a population of five million.

Secondly, I dnt think the thread wanted examples, even though Johhny brought one in first. And the Twin Towers wasn't really a crime, it was a symbol of the American downfall (in the eyes of the perpetraitors(sp)). It wasn't planned to kill as many as possible, it was intended to show the Americans could be brought to their knees. Admittedly, they knew lives would be taken, but I don't think it can be classed as a crime. More an act of war.

no,lavindathar,they did try to kill as many people as possible.if these animals got a nuke where do you think they would detonate it?juneau?bismark?no,they would go for a place like d.c.,new york,or l,a.

__________
to me,personally,murder is the worst crime.because you can't heal the dead,while you can help those who were molested.

And theoretically, a woman could rape a man. Same way a man could rape a woman. Drugs etc are a way to avert physical confrontation. But, technically, IIRC in England, a woman cannot rape a man. This is something to do with the law doesn't recognise that a woman can rape a man. I'm not sure if this is true, but I remembered it to be.

I remember reading years ago about a case here in the US where there a Judge ruled that a man can not be raped by a woman. The reasoning was that a man must be willing for the ummm........mechanisms to work.

A woman can definately rape a man . It just takes a strap and something to put on it. No one ever said it had to be tab "A" and slot "B"

Originally posted by Talthyr Malkaviel: Hmm, Uss, first off, does it really matter if it was or wasn't 6 million? There are so many different reports, that's one of the disturbing parts of the holocaust, no-one knows exactly how many died, some say near a million, other's go up to 20 million or more, and if you're going to throw the word propaganda around, how about some other propaganda that's been spouted by some people of the past. [*]We true breds are a separate race called Aryans, and we are superior to all others on this earth.[*]Homosexuals, jews, disabled people and the mentally unstable should be killed.[*]It is the right thing to do, a duty to our country to take over Poland etc. Sound familiar to you?

yees, it does. if you want to talk about this, please start a new topic.

I dont think there *is* a worst crime; there are several very sick ones, some of which are as contemptable as each other; I find that mass murder is as vile as raping, or some other crimes I dont want to go into; even the thought of them makes me feel psychally sick. there are some very sick ppl out there. I dont know about the rest of you, but I feel that some crimes cant be 'rated'. I dont think I can write anymore on this topic, I already feel sick.

Hate crimes are b.s. If a black guy kills another black guy doesnt he deserve as much punishment as a lynch mobber [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img]

Ditto Pastry.

And I believe there's something worse than taking someone's life, it's taking someone's dignity. Killing people in a fair battle is one thing, there you have a chance, but what the Nazi did was slaughter people like cattle, people they tried to make appear as being not really human. Spirit wounds are much worse than physical ones.

IMO, the worst crime is torture - inclusing rape and paedophilia in that category.
