    comparing poorly regarded editions of classic roleplaying games to genocides is just hilarious

    I don't actually have anything against 4th Ed, I just couldn't resist the pot-shot

    Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Nickelback

    Nickeback isn't all that bad, just really really mediocre.

    Simple Plan...ugh, now THERE is a shitty Canadian band

    Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
    Burning of books and burying of scholars (焚書坑儒).
  • AlduinAlduin
    I already listed the Great Leap Forward tho
  • KlinotaxisKlinotaxis
    kill living beings
    that's completely different though

    There's always that rebellion that produced the Seven Kill Stele.

    We've got a bad habit of censoring things.

    Fuck the Library of Alexandria, this is the real tragedy. We'd be building palaces on Mars if that shit didn't happen.

    I know that, I just thought I had China covered when it came to the atrocity department

    i can think of, like, three different horrible wars in china you haven't listed off the top of my head

    such is china

    I was just thinking that China really does have one of the most astonishingly bloody histories of, like, anywhere.

    So, so much suffering. We could have definitely filled a river with all that blood. Maybe more than one. I don't know how much water a river has.

    Did we cover the forced famines in India by Churchill?

    Well, now you have.

    Hmm. How about the massacres perpetrated by the Assyrians, or Tamerlane?
  • KlinotaxisKlinotaxis
    kill living beings
    or speaking of tamerlane, the mongolian invasions of everywhere
  • AlduinAlduin
    Oh crap, we missed Great Britain, didn't we? I was going to put the Opium Wars there somewhere

    It's not fair, you guys. Just because we have the biggest landmass and have the most people in our group doesn't mean you/we should come and trim the numbers a little.
  • AlduinAlduin
    Man, I wonder which Western countries China has beat in terms of atrocities

    We have napalm. That's pretty damn close and you can make it in your garage.
