Audie Murphy
18-YEAR-OLD ARMY SOLDIER. YOU KILLING HID BUDDY. HIM GETTING MAD AND ALL WRECKING ALLLL YOUR CRAP UP.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Seriously, he solved crimes, wrote Sherlock Holmes, and was best friends with Houdini.

Ian Fleming. He was James Bond. And his sidekicks were Count Dooku and Roald Dahl.

Tesla. 'Nuff said.

I agree.

[Nightkill the Emperor]

-Nightkill the Emperor. Because screw y'all.

Still the ideal choice.

Oh yes, and Ben Franklin. Just... Ben Franklin.

[Nightkill the Emperor]

I agree.

Oh yes, and Ben Franklin. Just... Ben Franklin.

[Nationstatelandsville]

Oh yes, and Ben Franklin. Just... Ben Franklin.

It really says something about a man when someone else makes up a story about said man getting struck by lightning while holding a kite tied to a metal key and surviving, and people accept that story as fact.

[Cromarty]

Jack fucking Churchill.

[Cromarty]

John "Mad Jack" Churchill.

The only man during the Second World War to kill another with an English Longbow or a Claymore. He was known for playing the bagpipes which chucking hand grenades during assaults. He also escaped from a concentration camp when captured (he was a Commando at the time and under several German declarations he was not liable for treatment as a POW).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Churchill

He also only volunteered for some missions because they 'sounded dangerous'.

[Malgrave]

Nikola Tesla

[GeneralHaNor]

and he sang like a canary when captured, giving Bolivian forces all the intel they needed to put down the revolution.

That's false, according to to a solider that witnessed his capture, he spit blood in the face of the commanding officer and was defiant till the moment they put a bullet in his skull.

I find it funny that he is critized for sending men to the firing squad without a trial, when he was shot in the back of dirt hut without any judicial review himself

Where are your lofty ideals now?
Statists are consistent only in their hypocrisy

[SaintB]

-Rasputin. Survived being shot six times, being stabbed by a prostitute in public, poisoning attempts, and clubbing. Oh, and he healed a hemophiliac and secretly influenced Russian politics. Oh, and he had a lot of sex.

Don't forget his kickass disco track.

Actually, Hot Topic Guy was quite the statist if you look at what he left behind. I'm more of a borderline libertarian. But you're right, statists like him are rather hypocritical.

I would've loved to have seen Hot Topic Guy dragged before a court and asked about the summary executions and just how much he would have wanted to launch those Soviet missiles at the US, even if it meant the annihilation of his own people in return.

Oh, by the way, Hot Topic Guy wasn't hit in the skull. The executioner used a semi-automatic and unloaded it into his limbs, then chest, then once in the throat to be certain. Probably pretty messy.

So Summary Executions, Bad when Che Does it, super peachy keen when Bolivian soldiers do it.

Right...I can safely ignore you and say that I will miss nothing of importance.

But hey, at least you got the details of his Death correct, that was a test. Congrats, your an educated hypocrite (the worst kind)

1. Che wasn't killed by a shot to the skull, but rather by 9 shots, with one shot to the chest being the fatal wound.
2. I'm pretty sure CM condemns the execution of Che too.

[New Conglomerate]

-Nightkill the Emperor. Because screw y'all.

Pfft. Gandhi has plenty of memes.

Indeed he has.

[Tekania]

-Genghis Khan. United the Mongol tribes, and kept them together so that he could form the largest empire in the world up till that point.

So, you've raised Genghis Khan up to the same level as Adam Bahner? I'm not sure the great Khan would be that pleased with you.

[Conserative Morality]

1. Che wasn't killed by a shot to the skull, but rather by 9 shots, with one shot to the chest being the fatal wound.
2. I'm pretty sure CM condemns the execution of Che too.

Only because of the lack of due process they did it in. Is it really so hard to put a mass murderer through a short trial before you put him up against the wall?

Please learn to read. I explained I would have preferred to have seen him dragged into a court to explain himself.

[Blazedtown]

A coward and a terrorist.

I realise that American conservatives have this weird compulsion to check whatever it is leftists are saying and then say the exact opposite, but how was he a coward?
As a good American you should know there's not necessarily anything wrong with terrorism…

Anyway, how about Geronimo?

He wasn't a badass. He was a savage butcher that was in charge of purging the remaining loyalists from the post revolution Army.

[Al-Harakut al-Islami]

-Rasputin. Survived being shot six times, being stabbed by a prostitute in public, poisoning attempts, and clubbing. Oh, and he healed a hemophiliac and secretly influenced Russian politics. Oh, and he had a lot of sex.

Don't forget his kickass disco track.

A really awesome song, though he wasn't really the lover of the Russian queen.
Or was he~?

Anyway, Calvin Graham.

Who are history's biggest badasses?
We've all heard Chuck Norris, Mr. T, and Teddy Roosevelt called the most badass folks in history at some point, and some jokes about how badass they are (some of these jokes are better than others).

But I say these folks are equally -- if not more -- badass (in no particular order):

-Che Guevara. The face that launched a million t-shirts and waged guerrilla warfare against America and its allies throughout Latin America, as well as parts of Africa.

-Turkish Sultan Mehmet II. Conquered Constantinople with the biggest guns in history up till that point, and waged successful war against Dracula.

-Rasputin. Survived being shot six times, being stabbed by a prostitute in public, poisoning attempts, and clubbing. Oh, and he healed a hemophiliac and secretly influenced Russian politics. Oh, and he had a lot of sex.

-Genghis Khan. United the Mongol tribes, and kept them together so that he could form the largest empire in the world up till that point.

-Vladimir Putin. http://www.cracked.com/article_19128_7- ... adass.html

-Nightkill the Emperor. Because screw y'all.



So, who else deserves the title of "World's Biggest Badass?"

Loved the Putin article!
