I'm not sure where you can find one, but I suggest using your own posts to calibrate the low end of the spectrum.

- Rule of Church
- Holocaust
- American's war against indians
- European colonisation to africa, americas, asia and australia
- Stalin regime
- Use of nuclear weapons
- WW1
- Japanese expansion to korea & china
- Election of GWBush to the white house
- The lack of reason when explaining the murder of JFKennedy (and all the conspiracies included in it)

What's wrong with Colonization? it's was by far one of the best things about Imperialism.

you´re right, I should have said Imperialism instead
Colonization went together with greed, slavery and genocide and that is why.

nope. BEST MILLENUIM EVAAR!!!!!!111.

Yep. That's why euro Imperialism was rather ambivalent. I wouldn't call Imperialism a bad thing, either, since it had enormous implications, both ways.

"American" Slavery and "New world" slavery was European slavery. Created by Euopean goverments, often in patnership or colusion with African Tribal powers, existed in the new world and the furture USA under European goverment and colonial authorities (from it being brought there until independence) for much longer than it continued after independence. The Euro scum who gave it to the new world would have joyously have had in their home territories if they had also had a labor shortage there.

I love it how this becomes (well, whats to expect) a way for everyone to go after their ideological pet peeves, with little thought of trying to create some sort of standard by which to judge, be it somehting so banal as number of dead bodies, or more precisely, percentage of those killed and population decline as a whole.

Recent photographs of Lara Flynn Boyle in a bikini on a beach. It was revolting- Belsen or Biafra as chic. She claims to be 'naturally thin' and lists various food items that she wolfs down, and then claims Calista Flockhart as a role model....

Frankly if I looked 5 days away from having an autopsy performed on me due to death by starvation, I wouldn't parade around in two scraps of cloth looking like cocktail sticks in napkin.

Oh, and Highlander II, Star Trek V, Hellraiser III and IV and the Turner Prize winner, one of whose exhibits was a light switching on and off. Life is too short for sterile dross, the product of a bankrupt artistic imagination.
