![]() So this is a game that my friend and I invented basically by accident on a long-ish car ride when we were bored.
The idea is to create a list of nasty dictators/rulers/leaders throughout history. For instance... I say Hitler. Then the next person says Mussolini, etc. Gentleman/woman's honour not to use the super super uber tres obvious ones unless you are in an absolute bind (and I just used two in the example, so muaha). The only rule is that they have to have to be either chronically bad (like a petty dictator) or have committed some atrocious act against humanity that you feel qualifies them. If you pick someone that people might argue about, you might want to back it up somehow. E.g. if I say FDR then I might want to say (Japanese Internment Camps). Also, no limit on how far back into the nether regions of recorded or presumed history you want to go... Also, might be fun if we linked to their wiki page in case somebody wants to learn more about one they haven't heard a lot about. I'll start things off with Charles Taylor.

![]() Not many Popes qualify for the title of "dictator" do you think?
Dictator implies absolute civic-political authority. Now "petty-tyrant" might be a title that a lot of Popes qualify for... |

Today's dictatorial contribution is Anastasio Somoza.

Not a dictator, but horrible (and kind of awesome) enough to deserve mention http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countes...h_B%C3%A1thory |

Nice to know that our list of psycho serial killers is not entirely without some of the fairer sex... ![]() Yes, and so is the position of a general (by definition). I should think that raping, pillaging, murdering, torturing (and lots of it) ought to be the key requirement for inclusion in this thread. Banning condoms, hypocrisy on homosexuality and threatening excommunication alone just doesn't cut it. ![]() |
