What historical famous person do you hate?

[RobotNinja]

Albert Einstein invented the atomic bomb that was responsible for killing many innocent people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki

Openheimer invented the atom bomb

 

[Skarvig]

Hitler, he doesn't repersents germans but still people think of him when someone mentions Germany.

 

[cuddly_tomato]

Whoever never invented drithealis (it is a special chemical you smear on injuries which heals them instantly). Never heard of it? That is because a particular person never invented it, the lazy bastard! It is him I hate.

Was it you?

*Hastily conceals junior chemistry set & microscope*

Of course not, what ever gave you that idea?

 

[x0ny]

Why him? Why not Fumimaro Konoe or Kuniaki Koiso, who were arguably doing the same things?

Well Hitler was the favourite so I decided to be ever so slightly different. We'd be here all day if I were to list everyone involved in those things.

 

[RuralMisanthrope]

So, I think we've established then that both Hitler AND Stalin were pretty evil and are hate figures even now. Moving on...

I'm going to have to go with Henry VIII, who was a greedy, arrogant fuckwit, and Shakespeare, who was probably a plagiarist and put me right off theatre and acting for several years. On the subject of which, both George & Ira Gershwin can just sod off and burn for all I care.

 

[HT_Black]

George Orwell-- for writing 1984, which ate up two weeks of my life and indirectly facilitated the loss of another month...to say nothing of the generous portion of my sanity that book deprived me of. You can go mad wondering why that book is so revered.

I'll also say...Peter the Apostle, just for that whole thing with the denial and all-- I mean, it might not of been particularly Earth-shaking, but he more or less stomped on Jesus' memory. Not cool.
I always feel bad about it though: he was crucified upside-down some time later.

Rembrandt van Rijn

One hell of an overrated painter.

 

[RuralMisanthrope]

Sir, I have to disagree with your stance on George Orwell, however I do see your point. It is held up as a work of absolute, cast-iron genius, which I'm not quite sure it is. It is very good, but too much is made of it.

 

[NathanAjax]

No...Stalin just ushered in the actual Cold War...which If I'm not mistaken, we still suffer from today.

What can you see in direct consequence due to only Hitler, since Stalin and Hitler had an arms race during the prewar crisis of WW2. It was Hitlers desire to take out Sadam first that began his invasion of Czechoslavakia (just as much as the rineland to conflict a two prong war)...Both people impacted the pre WW2 and WW2 era since both the Gulag killings and holocaust happened at the same time (but Stalin killed OVER 3 times). Within that each share the consequence of the Cold war, though Stalin had an active role DURING the Cold war. Only thing I can see Hilter had a direct connection with that Saddam didn't is the Palistien/Israeli conflict.

So in a way...yes...Stalin did help usher in the biggest war in modern history by pushing Hitlers war train. EDIT:and pushing his own war train...not to mention his invasions and creating of the iron curtian...how many died because of that?

Plus over three times the torture deaths.

Stalin didn't single-handedly usher in the Cold War, the Cold War was the result of growing tensions between the Soviet Union and the United States that began in World War 2, don't put the blame soley on the Soviets, because that's ignorant. And why are you talking about Hitler's desire to take out "Sadam"? And what the fuck do you mean "just as much as the rhineland to conflict a two prong war"? What the hell does that even mean? And the Gulags weren't "killing camps", they were labour camps. The concentration camps, on the other hand, in the latter days of World War 2, were full-blown death camps - the Holocaust is so significant because of how methodical and meticulous it was; deaths on account of Stalin's policies were often just byproducts of his policies - in the case of Hitler, the death of the Jews and other groups WAS the policy. Sure, Stalin did order the deaths of many people, but nothing on the scale of the Holocaust. And no, Stalin didn't have much of an active role during the Cold War - Stalin died in 1953, long before the Cold War really "took off". Sure, he was active in its beginnings, but the hottest points of the Cold War didn't really occur until the early 60s, and the 80s with Reagen.

Oh, and I don't know what this "arms race" was that apparently took place between Hitler and Stalin in the lead up to World War 2 - you are aware that in 1938 Stalin had almost every single leader in the Soviet army killed, right? Stalin was by no means active in ANY kind of arms race, I have no idea where you're getting this information; Stalin was fully convinced that Hitler would NOT invade the USSR (as indicated by the Nazi-Soviet pact of 1938), and the Soviet army was relatively primative in its technology up until 1942-1943, when the Nazi invasion of the USSR forced them to shape-up. Also, please be aware that Stalin's "creaton" of the iron curtain, as you put it, was not intentional. The iron curtain (a term coined by Winston Churchill, btw, after WW2) was a direct result of World War 2, which was, and I am willing to defend this point, ENTIRELY Hitler's and Nazi Germany's fault. The people who died to "create" the iron curtain were pretty much all Nazis, by the way (at least in its original form following the end of World War 2).

And finally, "Only thing I can see Hitler had a direct connection with that Saddam (do you mean Stalin?) didn't is the Palistien/Israeli conflict"? What the fuck? Hitler didn't have a connection with that at all.... Israel wasn't even a state when Hitler was around.

No, but to say in comparison to Stalin that Hitler ushered in the cold war by comparison I feel makes me arguably correct. It is never just one persons cause.
Whether your feelings toward mass murder are more responsive to Hitler than Stalin, I'd rather send you to "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulag" than actually argue each point in referance to the Gulags being just labour camps. Jesus...even if 1/3 of the people were specific people sent to the gulags for political affiliation or nationality, have you not read of the mass random capture and killings of Stalin?

If you do not know about the industrialisation of both Germany and Russia during that time, here's a quick referance.
"War and Stalinist industrial−military development
Although the Soviet Union received aid and weapons from the United States under the lend-lease program, the Soviet production of war materials was greater than that of Nazi Germany because of rapid growth of Soviet industrial production during the interwar years (additional supplies from lend−lease accounted for about 10?12% of the Soviet Union's own industrial output).[citation needed] The Second Five Year Plan raised steel production to 18 million tons and coal to 128 million tons.[citation needed] Before it was interrupted, the Third Five Year Plan produced no less than 19 million tons of steel and 150 million tons of coal.[citation needed]

The Soviet Union's industrial output provided an armaments industry which supported their army, helping it resist the Nazi military offensive. According to Robert L. Hutchings, "One can hardly doubt that if there had been a slower buildup of industry, the attack would have been successful and world history would have evolved quite differently."[citation needed] For the laborers involved in industry, however, life was difficult. Workers were encouraged to fulfill and overachieve quotas through propaganda, such as the Stakhanovite movement. Between 1933 and 1945, some[who?] argue that seven million civilians died because of the demanding labor. Between 1930 and 1940, 6 million were put through the forced labor system

The mass movement of thousands of Jewish people to Palistien following WW2 is where I get that. I have read it was a motivation due to the concentration camps of WW2....are you going to dispute this? Or do I need to do a quick reference check on this too?

You know, I like your thought through argument, but I'm not going to sit here all day and pull apart your retort on shit you can search for in 5 freaken minutes.
And as far as spelling, I COULD spell check, but if you can understand it, wtf...who cares kid.
And besides, all you are attempting to defeat is a flimsy response on Hitler not the direct cause of starting WW2 (which their are a Lot of factors, as specified in my first line). Big deal man, How many war's has the U.S sparked. War does not make a leader 'evil' in my eye's. Mass executions in efforts of power and genocide are however...and Stalin wins on both Quality and Quantity in my books. Your opinion may be different, but it doesnt make mine wrong. Get what I'm saying? And the two prong war thing...are you seriously trying to dispute Hitlers war tactics here? I can't even believe your arguing this point when you know Hitler mobilized against Stalin after their alliance fell through. Geeze.

I get the feeling you are taking this shit to heart, where as I'm rather light hearted about it. Take a breath, cool down and realize it's an interpretation that began awhile back with me asking a quesion.

Why are you so driven to prove Stalin was worse. Especially the last comment about about quality and quantity shows what a fucked up guy you are. You really need to chill out and accept that they where both horrible persons and every day they lived was more than they deserved.

Why most people think Hitler was worse is because he picked a group and was determined to exterminate them. If you belonged to this group there was nothing you could do to change his mind. So if a baby was just born out of a Jewish mother, Hitler would instantly want to kill it. Where as Stalin killed(yes more) because of political views. You can change or lie about political views, but you cant decide who your mother is. And if you thought Stalin was the only one who tortured you obviously haven't heard about Mengele.

 

[AkJay]

Hilter. He was, to say it lightly, the worst human being to ever live.

In the modern world, yea. But there is still people from the Greek/Roman era, and even before that. But I agree with your post, he is the worst human being to have ever lived past 1500? (random year)

George Orwell-- for writing 1984, which ate up two weeks of my life and indirectly facilitated the loss of another month...to say nothing of the generous portion of my sanity that book deprived me of. You can go mad wondering why that book is so revered.

not to mention all the annoying "Hipsters" who call people sheep and talk about how everything is going to be like it is in 1984. It's funny how most of what they say stems back to legalizing some kind of drug... but I'm getting off point.

Ayn Rand.

I'm sure she was a wonderful author, but I've never read her stuff because I can't STAND her politics

Yes definitely her, I wish they had given her an island and sent all her followers there with her to build a society based on her values. That way when people bring her up we can say well in theory ethical egoism sounds logical, but as you can see from the wasteful slum of an island that is Ayn Rand land, its not a very good idea to just say "Fuck it, do what you want and fuck everyone else". Why may you ask my good fellow? Because pretty much every human being is dependent on other human beings and money has no value if you do not have any piece of shit you don't respect to give the money to in exchange for services or goods.

Ayn Rand apparently thinks the Neolithic era of man was the golden age.

Wow a pretty big debate but it could of been solved in simpler terms.

Hitler is remarked the most because generally speaking people know who Hitler was. If people who committed atrocities were categorized by books:

Nero I would think would probably be like a novel.
Stalin would be a novella.
Hitler would be a children's pop up book.

This analogy is not meant to lessen the actions of these individuals for they all were cruel sadistic bastards... however I only mean to say if you walked out on the street and asked random people more than likely as has even been proven in this thread... people will recall Hitler the most.
