I really really really like a real good and worthwhile war :D Like the war between men and women that's been going on since Adam and Eve :D But I liked this war http://thumbnails86.imagebam.com/205...9205481175.jpg THE WAR OF THE ROSES There's one scene where Kathleen Turner throws a pot at Michael Douglas :cool: Sends shivers up my spine, brings back the memory of me having a pasta strainer thrown at me :D And the end of the film, where they kill each other :cool: |

In 480BC,After the epic last stand of Leonidas and the Three Hundred Spartans (Plus 1700 other Greeks),The Spartans put a bounty on the head of Ephialtes,the traitor Who betrayed Them.He was actually killed in a private quarrel but the Spartans,Being sticklers in these matters,Sent the money to His killer anyway.

Suicides
It's said that up to 200.000 Vietnam vets have committed suicide since the war. Other studies/reports say about 5.000 vets kill themselves each year, a ratio of 1,7:1 to 'expected' suicides
No national statistic reports this :eek: |
