  • Which Civilization has been the biggest bunch of bastards throughout history?

    Here's an interesting question for the ever-knowledgeable Apolyton crew to discuss. Which Civilization has proven to be the biggest bunch of bastards throughout history? And this is discussing things in the grander scheme of things, so if you think the French are snobby, save it for another thread.

    My personal pick are the Spaniards, no offense to our honorable Spanish members of course. But I think things such as the destruction of the new world civilizations, and the inquistion speak for themselves. Of course, I'm sure that a good case can be made for several other civilzations though.

      The Vikings. They aer very warlike and expand reasonably good..but not great.

      Either squash them early or wait until the end game when you are killing everybody.

      Don't let them bog you down in the mid game.

            Oh man, I forgot the Mongols and Vikings!
            Man, that's what always happens with these polls.
            If a moderator could find it in his heart of hearts to edit the civs as to add the Mongols and Vikings, I would be eternally in his debt.

              Japan. All other modern countries despite their level of ... "improprieties" ... at some point face the music, apologize, incorporate these mistakes into lessons not to repeat. The Japanese (gov't not people) not only will not face the music, but soft peddles history to its school children so that the attrocities they committed will , down the road, only be seen as a vague foreign spawned myth.

                Mongols. Thw populations of China, Middle East and Europe decreased markedly due to their attacks.

                    Islam is the answer.

                    For almost 1400 years they have been constant aggressors and bald faced conqerors, and to this day can't get along with anyone who isn't Muslim.

                    No other culture spends more time and effort on racial hatred and training then Islamic states.

                    A history of misery, oppression and conquest.

                        Do you think Christians were any better off?

                        I would nominate Mongols though. Despite all the crimes committed by Christians, Muslims, East Asians, Hindus, and etc, they also had major contributions to the humanity, the only contributions Mongols made to humanities were murder, rape, and pillage.

                          Ass-backwards history on your part, the crusades were an answer to Muslim agression.

                            The question was "who was the worst', was it not?
                            I love how everybody leaps to defend Muslims, when there history is so foul.

                            Common misconception, Mongol rule was neither oppressive or criminal, in fact, they oppened trade routes to Europe and the west long closed in their brief span of pre-eminence.

                            Their rep comes from their ferocity towards those who would not submit to them.

                              What do you propose? Go ahead and exterminate them? Just because they suck today doesn't mean they sucked 1000 years ago.

                              Why should other people submit to those foul-smelling and illiterate bastards? They were not repressive? Go and learn some Chinese and Russian history.
