This is sad, hope he`ll be happy up there . . .

Well, answering what war is good for, I might get flamed for this, but honestly despite it`s bad effect on society, war will also create new ones, which is sometimes better . . .

A war will destroy a civilazation, but then again it will set new rules, a new civilazation, and it will teach future generation about the bad effect of war, so people in the future will do their best for not letting a war to happen again. But humans tend to take out others, humans tend to be greedy, so a new war will always took place, and by that civilazation also changes, that`s what makes us humans, we constanly changes, cos` without changing or adapting we will not be humans at all. Humans will always have war with each other, as they will survive through it, and creates a better future. I don`t like war, but I can`t deny either that without WW II, we wouldn`t have any declaration about human rights, we wouldn`t realise how a man`s hatred toward a race, can cause so much pain . . . War destroys, but it also teach us something, about how to appreciate life and peace.

I actually didn't mean for this to turn into a war thread. :D ... But I'm not going to flame you.

...The Romans! What did the Romans ever do for us?!...

wasnt that the song that if u played it backwards it said something like: "smoking weed is good for you"

sad news though.

A great loss...

Remember Jackie Chan singing that song in Rush Hour :)

Well, at least he died when millions of people are singing the song to protest against this war.

George Bush is going to release his tribute.
"War, what is it good for?
Cheaper oil prices"

Shame. :(
