George W Bush: worse than Stalin?

Post by Nightshade »

Hitler, Osama bin Laden, and George W Bush have been found to be among the top 10 biggest villains of history, a global study polling almost 7,000 students has found.

Jesus Christ: 4 spots behind Mother Teresa. Hmmmm.

Columbus: 12th biggest hero. Hmmmmm. http://theoatmeal.com/comics/columbus_day

What this really proves is that polling students might not be the best way to determine much of anything.

Or more like how they are being indoctrinated with a political agenda rather than being educated.

It's always good to see which way the wind blows through one ear and out the other.

Stalin was directly responsible for the deaths of 20 million people under his rule, plus another 20 million soldiers and citzens that died defending Russia from the Germans during WWII. Bush hasn't even come close to those kinds of numbers, in either category, so I wouldn't put him anywhere near Stalin or Hitler on such a list. :wink:
