The Event that Caused the Most Damage to Humanity? Put an end to popups!

(wars, inventions, revolutions etc also count)

I'd say that the destruction of the Great Library in Alexandria is a worthy candidate...

(and please keep Bush out of it )

Really? I never knew it was that bad.

Speaking about lots of deaths, the Black Plague also deserves a mention.

I believe that every action in some small way effects every other action/thing in existance.......and no this isnt some new age kinda belief, its the "you read this, which changes how you act slightly, which changes other things etc.....you drop a rock in a pond, each ripple makes another riffle, and another, till the whole pong is changed".

With that in mind it would have to be the creation of the universe, since it is responsible for all harm done to humanity.

Suffering from ads?

The October Revolution here too. Not just because it started a communist country, but because one can imagine Hitler would have never come to power without a Bolshevik menace to his east...

You're right; the end of the Babylonian captivity was probably more important.

I wouldn't put McCarthy in the same catagory as the rest of those men. Sure, he was a nut ball who saw a commie under every rock but he never killed anyone. The rest of those sickos are mass murders.
