I’ve gotta agree… the question is rather pointless. But I’ll answer it anyways. They all were. ---

> [@Attack\_from\_the\_3rd\_dimension](#): > > Next: Are serial killers worse than Nazis? Show your work. Serious answer: Nazis are worse, because they were _organized_. They were widespread, they were systematic, they got non-psychotics to help them in their business of slaughter. It’s not just that the Nazis killed millions while serial killers don’t; it’s that serial killers couldn’t match the body count of the Nazis if they tried. ---

> [@Yumblie](#): > > Let’s say you pit the worst Nazi and the worst Soviet communist against each other in hand to hand combat, who would win? We would, because we should totally pitch this concept, as well as the Serial Killer / Nazi concept to the Discovery Channel. “Joseph Mengele and Jeffrey Daumer: two names that strike terror into the hearts of people who know who they are. But who would win if they encountered one another on a cruise ship full of rabid marmots? We ask our panel of experts, and then we LARP their computer predictions.” ---
