  1. WatchMojo likes to put up these kinds of videos because they know they will get views and cause a lot of discussions. Why can’t everyone agree that every country has it’s bad people, but also has it’s good people without saying so and so should die? I don’t understand the ugliness of some people.

  2. Jesus, some of you people NEED to pick up a freaking History book, and I don’t mean the one that your school offers you. Damn, the stupidity of some of these comments.
