    Vlad Drakulya, Voivode of Transylvania.

    Singlehandedly kept the Muslims out of Europe, which is why he was tolerated. Something about a forest of impaled and mutilated captured soldiers making attacking armies think twice.

    He had a very interesting idea to eliminate poverty and homelessness. He lured all the beggars, vagrants and Jokers into a building for a huge feast, locked the doors and set fire to the building killing everyone inside.

    He was extremely law and order.

    When some visiting dignitaries refused to take their hats off in his presence (a formality of the Transylvanian court) citing their religion, he said it was wonderful that they had such faith, and assisted them in keeping with their beliefs by having their hats nailed to their heads.

    Livia, wife of Roman Emperor Augustus. For decades she weeded out the family tree (poison being the favorite device) to ensure her own son, Tiberius, became Emperor after Augustus died.

    Goat: Good point - I'd forgotten her. But whereas she and the Medicis just selfishly advanced themselves Tepes was interested in preserving a moral code.

    Adolf Hitler is high on my list. He was an amazing public speaker, and I've spent quite a bit of time learning the fine art of public speaking. The things that that man could accomplish and place in people's imaginations with only his words and emotion...Wow...
     
  9. stalin is interesting, not my favorite though....

    Chairman Mao. He killed over 50 million people, most of them by accident.

    Was it drunk driving? Betcha it was drunk driving. I heard after a couple of Shirley Temples he couldn't walk a straight line or talk without slurring his words. Just couldn't handle his Shirley Temples.

    Haha, Shirley temples. Thats even funnier since Shirley temple have no alchol in them.[​IMG]

    Seriously though, it was the great leap forward that did it. Granted he had dissenters killed by the tens of thousands. The 50 million mostly straved to death due to disatrously poor planning and blatantly stupid agricultural practices.

    The Cultural Revolution did them no favors either. That didn't end until shortly after he died in 1976.

    Oh yeah, I forgot to add that, and it is important. The firgure of 50 million comes from both the cultural revolution and the great leap forward combined.

    gengis khan was a badass. he may have murdered just about everyone he conquered, but he did treat the survivors pretty well, let them keep their religion and customs, which just didnt happen in those days.

    Ivan the terrible was probably the most evil guy in history though. His favorite childhood game was throwing puppies from the top of his castle. And when he got really pissed he'd just torch moscow.

    The Marcos family. Declared martial law in the Philippines. Before their rule the Philippines was one of the "up and coming" asian countries. They killed their detractors, imprisions thousands of people in determent camps, raped the land, and did it all while wearing beautiful clothes and priceless jewels. They bankrupted the nation, and bought a lot of shoes and plastic surgury with the money. The best part is the Filopino public still love Imelda! She is the Grand Puba of Evil Bitches... and her husband was just as bad.
