What is the worst thing to ever happen to the world?
 

Just curious as to how you'd answer this question...I don't have an answer yet.

Greed Envy Lust for Power...all the negative **** humans do

The human race.

Yeh actually thats probably more like it

Yep, pretty much.

Religion

Just what I was about to say..

Shaun, do you mean the worst thing that has happened or the worst thing that could happen?

Paris Hilton's 2006 single "Nothing in This World"
it was a massacre

Man.

has happened, but answer either :p

In all seriousness...

The Holocaust.

The Renaissance of the 15th and 16th century.

Or more to the point, the age of discovery and exploration.

Monday Mornings

My answer too.

this.

The holocaust. Bombings of Hiroshima, Japan. The concentration camps, and the depiction of all-round human racism and cruelty.

Big Brother being canceled obviously

chernobyl was horrific as well, we're learning about it in physics at the moment and i'm scarred. :\

I change my answer. Dunblane was one of the worst, so many children killed for no reason.

This.

Yesssss

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!
