[color=#5A5A5A][font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Adolf Hitler believed himself to be the apex on a pyramid of power. To ensure he kept this power he manipulated those under him into fights. Hitler believed that utter obedience should be given to him. He even gave each soldier a puppy and had them raise the puppy, and then he would command the soldiers to snap the puppy's neck.

Hitler banned marriage between non-Jewish and Jewish Germans and forbaed the employment of non-Jewish women living in a Jewish household whom were under the age of 45.

Around 6 million Jews were thought to be killed during the Holocaust and they were tortured in horrible ways. Some of these methods of torture included starving the Jews and a simple 'death march'. A death march is essentially a long walk in nothing but rags and bare feet. The Jews would be forced to walk until their feet bled, a lot of Jews would die from starvation and exertion.[/spoiler][/size][/font][/color]

Justin Bieber is this planet's greatest evil, he torments millions of adults with his horrible music, then brainwashes their kids into dressing, and acting like he does. Then to top it all off he takes your hard earned cash for doing all this.

I don't think you quite understand how this works.
This person has to have died to be in the hall of infamy. You also have to state facts, not opinions.

I was reading a thread on another forum where someone was arguing that Hitler could have been one of the greatest leaders of the 20th century, if you set aside his beliefs, military policies, economic policies, and any other policies he may have had.

Not [i]exactly[/i] sure how what I said has anything to do with what you said, but I'm sure it'll all make sense later.

They must have lived through history. Many infamous people today can still do bad things while those that are dead cannot. This allows for a more standard nomination rather than hearing about his latest tenures and saying "Oh wait look what he just did!"

I thought this thread would provide some mediocre insight on history and the figures that accompany it, however I then remembered this was ycm, and people like you dwell in these forums.
You my friend are the epitome of idiocy, thanks for making me doubt my choices in life and second guess why I'm on this site.

I'm not applying but I'd like to request if you can put Genghis Khan on the infamy list then every expansionist leader in the world history is up for grabs.

Expansionism is bad, because it kills people. Interventionism isn't expansionism. Imperialism is. Genghis Khan was a marauding psychopath. Justifying his actions is like writing Ted Bundy's eulogy.
