Choose whatever you want, using any angle you wish. I was originally going to include "money" but nope, the more I think about it, nah, the evil perpetrated upon mankind by greed is still a second tier curse in the Big Picture.

For me, four come immediately to mind...

#4: Differing skin pigmentation



#3: Tobacco









#2: Gun powder


























#1, with a bullet: Jesus Christ/Muhammed (tie)

No, I get where he's going. Many, many people have died "In christs name" and continue to do so today.

No real slam on dude christ, he didn't do it, but it's a sad fact he has been the driving force behind a lot of mankinds self created misery.

These days I think muhammad has clearly edged him out for top billing, though.

I was going to simply say "religion" as a whole but really Christianity and Islam are the root cause of the largest number of deaths among all religions.

Beyond that, beyond the crushing violence mankind has perpetrated upon itself in the name of those two individuals, hey, there's also the obvious notion of world poverty that's nearly the exclusive province of religious based societies.

So, yeah, maybe I should just go ahead and substitute "religion" as a whole at #1.

That would be Marxism. Marxism plus people sticking guns in your face and telling you to bow to the Politburo is Communism. Communism is just a military state with the excuse being "the people".

I don't believe you're a pussy, so why are you letting the Jews of the hook ?

Jews=Jesus Christ.

Take away Christ and Muhammed and there's little to no violence involving the Jews.

Try again. Most of Communism's victims were killed by starvation.
At the point of a gun. Take away gun powder and both Marxism and Communism in their most crushing forms have no teeth.

They have bad food. They have the ultimate cure for insomnia.

If it ain't gunpowder its bronze or iron in the peasants faces. The feudal system wasn't built upon cannons and muskets. Technology has only opened scale of people to be oppressed.

Mv, Tiananmen Square was all about the power of gun powder to squash rebellion.

Nobody ever died of starvation out of their love for the ideals of communism. They died because they were powerless to change their status quo as determined by their government. They were powerless because one gun or one tank in the hands of a soldier overcomes the demands of a whole fuckload of pissed off peasants.

Bace parades feature a lot of pride. And some beer gluttony.

Let me clarify: We're talking man made enemies here, things mankind perpetrated upon itself. (In the case of skin pigmentation we're talking about man kind's various reaction to it, not the differing pigmentation itself.)

Natural disasters don't count! :-)

Asbestos? I don't think it is one of the worst, but after working on the cases, WOW.

Second, tobacco.

Alcohol, to me is a God send, so I can't go there.
