By the way, I would pick Chris de Burgh as a close second.

Most deaths ever in war.

Me ;)

one of my German friends has that as their wallpaper :bawling:

oh dear

I guess it is mankind.

This place seemed fine before we evolved.

Totally abhorrent what man is capable of. And in that, agreement with so many other people. Mankind...

Probably the meteor that hit the earth, set the atmosphere alight, and killed everything including the dinosaurs. Followed closely by Chris De Burgh.

Right, Ive already answered religion, but apart from that (and things like the human race etc) the worst things that stand out in my memory (in my lifetime) are 9/11, Dunblane shootings and the Boxing Day tsunami. More will probably come to me, but those 3 are the occasions when I couldn't take in what I was seeing/hearing.

Definitely religion. Root of most evil and trauma imo [obviously not including natural disasters].

I'ma be original and say Justin Bieber. >.>

But being serious, I agree with the guy who said the human race.

How can there not be anything worse than religion?

It's your opinion of course but surely you can see that it's flawed.

There were alot of horrible things that happened, I don't see how you could pick one being worse than another though where people have suffered and died. Though as one person pointed out most of those horrible things were done by other human beings so we are probably the answer to your question!

Religions - so divisive, the cause of so many wars, the cause of people believing in something which don't exist rather than getting-on with their short time and with others on the planet.

Yeah but it's people behind all of the religions so again I'd say humans, we're our own worst enemy!

I'm a Socialist and strongly aethiest which is why I answered "religions" Naimh - I believe only ithat people should try to make the best of their short time on the planet, and (in addition to my above statement) also detest the waste of money/belief that folks invest in something non-existant

Oh - and Jedward, just in case wee Stace reads the thread :devil:

Wars. People's necessity for power, money and control.

I like your thinking Ian and you're dead right, people need to focus on this life and time on Earth, maybe there is something after and maybe there isn't but we all should be living in the here and now and concentrating on things that we can actual have some control over, like how we interact with other people

Jessica and Stephanie.

The human race fuelled by religion. I think you can pretty much link all unnecessary, wars etc. (excluding natural disasters) back to religion or some kind of belief.

Christopher Columbus, look what he started, :(

English chavs...I just do't get them, drink lager all day, talk rubbish and the way they talk says it all...IQ of 5, talk slang, have shirts off in the summer, have 10 kids before they are 21.

Gamma Ray Bursts.

Cosmic death rays that can wipe life off entire planets. It is possible that one of the mass extinctions on this planet was the result of a gamma ray burst.

Natural phenomenon is far more cruel than humanity.

When Josie lied about calling JJ.. CRAB EYES! :laugh2:
