Top 10 Worst Crimes

The Top Ten
Genocide

The ultimate expression of the belief that the ends justify the means (which is the purest expression of evil). The truly terrifying thing here is that other expressions of perceived ideological superiority all eventually lead to this. It starts with riots and persecution, then terrorism, and finally, genocide.

Easily the worst crime you could commit. Killing millions of people, especially just because they are different than you, is terrible. It's a thought that should never even enter the head of a good citizen or even a bad citizen for that matter. Never.

Murder

Murder is an act of finality. There is no coming back from death. Doing it premeditated and with malice is the worst crime you can commit against an individual. Sure, other acts may cause lifelong trauma, but a person may still find something positive. The dead find no positives, ever.

I believe that murder is the worst crime because there are numerous ways to commit it: torture, rape, abuse, and many slow, painful methods. Nowadays, people don't take murder seriously because it occurs so frequently. I'm not saying that murder doesn't matter or that people don't care because it happens often. What I mean is that people have become desensitized to it, so they won't constantly live in fear of being killed. However, when it does happen, they will likely care.

Personally, I used to be terrified that someone would break into my house, and it's an unsettling feeling. The thought of people killing others just for amusement disgusts me, even if they are psychologically damaged. They are taking lives, but the murderer would not want to be killed themselves. How would they feel if they were the ones being killed?

Rape

You can provide reasons for most crimes. Murder? Maybe they were defending themselves. Burglary? They needed something to eat. I'm not saying these are excusable, but rape cannot ever be justified. Rapists are selfish and shouldn't be regarded as humans. The amount of fear, guilt, and trauma victims go through is actually insane. It sticks for life.

It's sickening how many people have been raped. People say "all men aren't like this," but it's so sad how many are. It's even normalized and blamed on the victim. "What were you wearing" or "You probably liked it." Stop blaming victims. This is the most traumatizing crime. Humans are like toys to rapists. And in no way, shape, or form should anyone go through this.

Terrorism

The belief that the ends justify the means is the true evil in the world. It's not mental illness. It is willfully sacrificing others for personal ideological goals.

Just a reminder that the United States does state-sponsored terrorism on a regular basis. It also doesn't need to happen on an organizational level.

One can be complicit in terrorism whether purposefully or unintentionally encouraging others to commit such acts.

This is worse than animal cruelty by far. Have you seen 9/11? That was terrorism, and it affected our country in a horrible way. I'm not saying animal cruelty isn't bad. It's just not as bad as terrorism.

Torture

Torture can have a scale on how much pain is put on the person. But I think that it is very bad, for the fact that some people would beg to be killed instead of tortured.

Torture has to be worse than murder. Having a person so down that they want to end it quickly but won't let them is far worse than murder. Much worse.

It's when the future tense of the living self happens to be strewn into the discombobulating. Then, nothing is savage. Like shocking gums.

Slavery

I would rather die in war than to be a slave my whole life. It's torture, complete cruelty. Work all day for no pay and get whipped. That's worse than death.

Absolutely the worst. 24/7 hard labor and for nothing. And to think, there are still slaves around the world, even today! Just messed up.

I would rather die for my freedom than be enslaved. I hate being told what to do and I'm stubborn as heck.

Animal Cruelty

There is nothing - and I repeat, NOTHING - worse than animal cruelty. Animals are treated as slaves and food, and that's it. I once asked a child what they thought animals were, and they answered pets and food. Is that seriously what we have trained our kids to think?! That they are nothing more than pets and food? That disgusts me!

Humans are dying, and that is very sad, but has anyone noticed that animals have to deal with poachers, being eaten, being exploited, being separated from friends and family, and being caged up all their lives? Do most humans have to deal with that? Some, but not all. For all of you who think humans are more important than animals - you are only saying that because you're human. If you were a sheep, you'd care more about sheep. If you were a tiger, you'd care more about tigers. What you fail to see is that these animals also have FEELINGS!

Humans are not even near extinction, while some animals are the last of their kind. People make such a big fuss over someone being racist or sexist - which is also TERRIBLE - but they are speciest themselves. What you want to avoid is being one or more of the three, not just two of the three.

Animals have earned my respect far more than humans. Humans ridiculed me, called me stupid, hit me, and ordered me to do senseless things, while animals comforted me and gave me hope that the world isn't so bad. So why would you do anything bad to the things I love the most? I live to pay back all the wonderful things animals have done for me and would rather die than kill one.

If I had a choice between saving an animal or a human from death, I would choose the animal. (But if the human was nice, I'd try my best to save both.)

Child Abuse

There are so many levels to why this is evil. Damaging the most innocent among us is just the start, but it also perpetuates a cycle of abuse. So many abusers were themselves abused. The cycle must stop.

You are the worst for doing that. They are little innocent kids. Just let them enjoy life. People sometimes abuse their kids for playing around and annoying them, but you did that at some point too. Come on now.

Jesus. I hope you burn in hell if you abuse children. They are only young. They don't deserve abuse.

You deserve to burn in hell for eternity if you do this, especially for fun.

Human Trafficking

The worst thing about this crime is how often it is overlooked in today's society. We hear endless complaints about the slavery of the past, but we ignore the slavery of the present. What is wrong with a society that does that?

This should be above animal cruelty, at least. This is human cruelty, for crying out loud. I've seen a YouTube video that showed kids being trafficked, and it was worse than I could imagine.

The kids were being pulled out of a small window on a vehicle like rag dolls. At the same time, they were slow and stiff like a sloth, probably due to malnutrition and/or starvation, and they also seemed dehydrated. Also, they were dirty and dusty. Very cruel. Should be much higher on this list.

If torture is number 3, then this should be near that because this is a specific kind of torture.

Molestation

I know a YouTube user whose dad did it to his half-sister for nine years for being a loser stepchild, and thankfully he is spending the rest of his life in prison.

The Lord Jesus said those who harm the little ones would be better off throwing themselves in a lake of fire than to deal with me.

The Newcomers

? Child Molestation

As with child abuse, harming the most innocent and perpetuating a cycle of abuse is truly horrendous. Few things are worse.

If you do this, you are straight up weird.

? Presidential Assassination

That's why the Secret Service always protects the President, and those who post threats online will get caught, no matter where they hide.

The Contenders
Arson

Not only is it destructive and deadly, but it also releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

Arson is horrible because burning property is bad.

I've seen a few examples with my own eyes. This is just really bad.

Bestiality

Actually, this is surprisingly legal in 13 American states. My faith in humanity has finally been flushed straight down.

Now that is one of the most disgusting things ever! I can't believe that would be legal anywhere.

Why would you want to... do it with an animal? People make me sick.

Child Trafficking

Children who are probably used en masse to be exploited in an inexplicable amount of horrible ways.

Why would you just take a child and sell them to another person? It's messed up.

Children should not be trafficked.

Adultery

For cheaters and liars. I hope none who commit this act find love.

Child Pornography

This is just wrong on so many levels. They're kids, for Christ's sake! If you're an adult that wishes to get into the porn business, then you're an adult. You can make that choice. Kids, especially young kids, can't really make that informed choice, and I'm saying this as a minor. It's awful.

This is just utterly terrible. Children are just that - children. Far too young for this. If they choose to do it, that's still morally wrong, but most children are forced to, just like adults are.

All people who own child pornography should be castrated and murdered in the most brutal ways possible. Either that or ship them out of society.

Kidnapping

This should be above manslaughter. Manslaughter is an accident. This is intentional.

I have been afraid of kidnapping my whole life. It is definitely one of the worst.

I mean, it's human trafficking without a definitive buyer.

Cannibalism

Have you lost your mind, people? Why do you want to eat humans? You shouldn't even eat animals. You were never meant to.

Why do you want to take a human corpse and do whatever you do? Please stop.

Did you know that people will also go to graves, dig six feet of dirt, and see if the body is still there, and either eat the body or sell it on the black market?

Why do people do this? This should be illegal and punishable by the death penalty. Why would one person want to eat another?

Manslaughter

Both voluntary and involuntary manslaughter are commonly defined as an intentional killing in which the offender had no prior intent to kill, such as a killing that occurs in the "heat of passion."

The circumstances leading to the killing must be the kind that would cause a reasonable person to become emotionally or mentally disturbed. Otherwise, the killing may be charged as a first-degree or second-degree murder.

Accidental murder... some of the time. Other times, it's just used to get a slightly lowered sentence.

Treason

Why would someone want to do this?

To the 9th circle of hell with you!

I also wanted to vote for presidential assassination, but I think it also fits here.

Acid Attacks

Honestly, this is the worst. People just throw acid on others because they're jealous that the person rejected them. I really wish all the people who did this get the same thing.

These attackers should be attacked with acid. Also, to all the people out there who have been attacked, I really hope they gain some confidence because this just leaves a lifelong scar on them which cannot be erased. You must be very strong. Proud of you.

This is about as disgusting as a crime against one person can get. It's malicious, and it just angers me so much. It can completely ruin the person's life.

Do people even read the whole list before voting? I can't believe homosexuality is even on this list and that it's higher than this.

Discrimination

I absolutely loathe how we even needed to create the word "discrimination." The very fact that people think they are the superior race just because of the color difference of 1mm worth of skin is appalling.

This is one crime for which all offenders should go to jail. I cannot believe one of the reasons why kids hate school is because of homophobic kids.

This is just disgusting. You are treating people from another race differently because they are not white?

Regicide

It's not the King's fault that he was born into royal blood.

Sexual Abuse

This is so awful. Why do people do this? Men should be nice to women. Women were created to help men and to do more.

I am a man, but I don't understand why people do this rude stuff.

You know what? You are not brave. Instead, you are a coward and a loser. Why don't you find a partner to share your time with?

Why do you want to forcefully abuse people? Go to Hell.

Drug Trafficking

Too many people are trying to get that green.

Child Labor

The people who abuse and force children to labor are evil, cruel, and sadistic. They should be put to death for their crimes.

Children are our future. Children are our hope. Abusing our future philanthropists, scientists, astronauts, artists, architects, authors, biologists, or whatever else children want to be is not okay. That is far from okay.

In my opinion, this is the most terrible crime. I'm just sharing my opinion. There are many other crimes that are terrible and brutal, but I think this is the worst.
