How many people can one kill before it's a genocide?
I'm just curious as to what my upper limit is here, before I go any farther.

Hypothetically speaking, of course, and no, smart boy, that isn't blood on my hands. It's, um, spaghetti sauce. Really red and thin spaghetti sauce. That's how I like it, so stop saying that.

2. depends on the size of the ethnicity you are trying to wipe out
there are some very small tribes in india. so you could kill like 300 people and cause a genocide.

:P

be careful, someone will accuse you of mocking genocide and being a bad liberal

3. It is the intent and preperation that makes it genocide.
Genocide is systematic and has the purpose of killing an entire catagory of people.

4. If you killed the last surviving person of a group of people it would be.
Like Ishi. If you had killed Ishi. It would have been a genocide.

6. Can't you just settle for being a serial killer?
A lot less overhead.

8. If you're gonna commit mass murder, you should at least have a theme ...
The Dull Butterknife Murderer
The Paula Abdul Strangler
The Paper Cutter Cutter

This is where one can really let their flair come alive.

12. No. Serial killing is without flair. I, however, am a man of panache.
And so I must strive higher than the lesser beings.

15. One less than the total amount of people available
and like all good horror flicks, someone has to survive to tell the story. Why do you think they let Anne Frank go?
