Which has killed the most? (Page 2)

Men, men have killed the most.
Posted by ScorpioFishPosted by hydorah
1-religion
2-capitalism/greed
communism is not even in the top 5
An estimated 80 million innocent people were murdered during Mao's reign alone.
Pol Pot told his underlings to burn the educated and Christian types alive after they were forced to dig their own mass graves. He did this to conserve his ammunition for the escapees at the gulags, as well as other devious reasons. Some 2 million people estimated murdered in Cambodia alone. Ever hear of The Killing Fields?

True.
That's something people don't realize about Communism--
"Throughout Cambodia, deadly purges were conducted to eliminate remnants of the "old society" -
the educated, the wealthy, Buddhist monks, police, doctors, lawyers, teachers, and former government officials.
Ex-soldiers were killed along with their wives and children.
Anyone suspected of disloyalty to Pol Pot, including eventually many Khmer Rouge leaders, was shot or bludgeoned with an ax.
"What is rotten must be removed," a Khmer Rouge slogan proclaimed.
In the villages, unsupervised gatherings of more than two persons were forbidden.
Young people were taken from their parents and placed in communals.
They were later married in collective ceremonies involving hundreds of often-unwilling couples."
LINK.
-- they kill the intellectuals, first.
It wasn't just Pol Pot, either-- it's SOP.
So much for a "utopian society"
One death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic

Yeah, you're an intellectually honest person to speak with.
NO ONE ON DXP IS AN INTELLECTUALLY HONEST PERSON
WE ARE JUST ONE STEP ABOVE THE NEANDERTHALS I EVEN HAVE 5 % OF THERE GENES
THATS NOT A FAIR STATEMENT DUDE MANY OF US ARE AVID READERS OF ALL KINDS OF MATERIAL FROM SCIENCE TO HISTORY SO PLEASE BE A LITTLE MORE CONSIDERATE OF THAT NEXT TIME YOU MAKE A STATEMENT LIKE THAT

The Catholic Church
Killed thousands of people's spirit over the years

Possibly hundreds of thousands.

Uh, yeah.
Stalin and Mao were real pussycats compared to the mass graves that the Catholics put hundreds of millions of innocent people into.
Oh, wait. The Catholic Church never killed hundreds of millions of innocent people.
Again, the intellectual dishonesty around here...
Oh, and Starlover....
Keep in mind that it was the Catholic Church, particularly under the leadership of Pope John Paul II, that gave Divine inspiration and hope to millions of Eastern European people as they struggled to free themselves from Soviet style Communism throughout the final phase of the Cold War.
This was especially true of the people yearning for freedom in my native Poland, you jackass.

Also keep in mind that the man who tried to murder Pope John Paul was a Turk with direct ties to the Communists via the KGB.
...And you want to demonize the Church instead of the Communists?

come to ireland and see for yourself..
and get a gf will you to calm yourself down man
and try and be a little more respectful of people and their opinions, banter and argument are healthy, name calling is puerile and uncouth
thank you sir
Nothing and no one is perfect, but to overlook what Mao and Stalin did is pretty lame.
I do not believe in, nor do I support, the molestation of ANYONE. It is terrible about what you mentioned, and it is horrific.
However, I wouldn't completely trash the Church altogether because it stood as a beacon of hope for millions while the Communists were killing and imprisoning people for the slightest things.

AGAIN!! Aren't you a teacher? Do you call your students "fucking morons" or accuse them of swallowing "idiot pills" when they ask questions in class? Or if they dare to have an opposing viewpoint?
Either cite some credible sources to enhance the debate, or recognize that the soapbox you're standing on *might* not be the only one in the room.
Hey Mel,
I have a better idea.
Here is your assignment.
Get online, and do a search on the following topics:
Pol Pot
Khmer Rouge
Josef Stalin
Gulags, and death counts in gulags
North Korea
Che
Fidel Castro
Mao
Great Leap Forward
Start publishing the information you read here, and tell us again why Communists don't have the highest body count and human suffering toll in recorded history.
Publish or perish.

...my son pointed out a teacher to me last night that none of the kids listen to or can stand. i asked why and my lad told me *he swears at the kids and loses control, he is just a big baby*
when the teacher walked past me i saw exactly what he meant,,full of anger
not good
There are more bad teachers than good. Just because they are teachers, it doesn't mean anything. When I think back to my dealings with them, only a couple stand out.

...well i am glad you show some empathy and i see where you are coming from. one would have to live in the environment of that particular country to understand the horrors though. i work with people that have been crushed by the catholic church 😢. there is nothing good about the church now that people have dared to take the blinkers off and speak out
it is built purely on greed, power and corruption, as we all know
I understand, and I am no fan of unjustifiable harm to others.
While I wouldn't necessarily say that the Church is entirely evil based on the behavior of the bad Prists, I would say it's understandable why some folks would prefer to stay out of it.
And I am sorry for calling you a jackass.

Oh, and Mel...
Let's read your research on the forced famines in North Korea under Kim Jong Il's regime.

House,
There are some serious, serious flaws in your logic.
The Civil War was waged mostly due to the issue of slavery. Southerners wanted to keep slavery legal, Northerners did not. Thus you had the firing on Fort Sumter, and the rest was open warfare mostly surrounding this polarizing difference of opinion. When the war ended, slavery was over in the USA.
That shit you posted about 1 million Germans dying in US Concentration Camps is pretty fucking lame, dude. You might want to post some legitimate and certifiable data proving that the USA killed 1 million Germans in prison camps.
The Korean War started in 1950 after the unprovoked invasion from North Korea onto the South.
South Korea sent out a distress call to everyone for help, and the USA, France, England and countless others responded with military force which ultimately drove the Communists out of the country.
Vietnam was another unprovoked proxy war waged by China and the Russians to bolster communism in SE Asia. They propped up Ho Chi Minh, and gave him all the military resources under the sun to attack and enslave the South Vietnamese people. They did the same thing with Pol Pot as he waged a genocide against the educated and Christian masses in Cambodia all for the sake of advancing Communism.
The 1991 Gulf War was a response to Saddam Hussein's unprovoked attack on the Kuwaiti people. Saddam attacked them because he was bankrupt after his war with Iran.
Bill Clinton made most of the decisions (without Congressional approval) regarding intervention in the former Yugoslavia, especially with the decisions to bomb civilian areas in Belgrade. It was a public relations disaster because he did more harm than good.
Likewise, another democrat named 0bama made the decision to bomb Libya without Congressional approval.
There are a lot of gaping holes in those numbers and data you posted.

This is not a legitimate list of "deaths due to Capitalism"
The Armenian genocide was a religious pogrom, HC.
The Holocaust was not due to Capitalism, and the Khmer Rouge *was* communist.
Not sure where you got this info, but it isn't even remotely reliable.
this thing is far away from being called data and i said they were kind enough to compile a list but i never said it was accurate. its something made up by communist supporters from their basements freely voicing their concerns over the capitalist deaths and i hope those fucking cock knocking mao zedong dick slobbering stalinist roaches who support this "info" find my comment along with it in a google search some day in the future along with saying they should eat shit soon one day.
its amazing in capitalist america you can still join the communist party, they're 2000 members strong. im not sure what party options you can join in china though.

Wish you'd said so beforehand.
And yeah, it is amazing-- McCarthy was RIGHT-- they are out in the open now, but "McCarthyism" is still used as a pejorative.
Some folks still believe that Communism simply hasn't been done right, yet-- I just smh.
