This is a Stupid Sad Ending. Amir Khan kept Walking despite Amir knew that Kajol was Going to Pull the Trigger.
1. Did Amir & Kajol know that Good People were Going to Show up Soon to Shoot down the Terrorist Leader's Helicopter?
2. Why didn't Amir Khan ask Kajol to put down the Gun, so Amir Khan can Walk Slowly to the Terrorist Leader & the Good People will Shoot down the Terrorist Leader's helicopter?
3. Obviously, Amir could Have Survived to get Life Sentence without Parole but with Visitation Privileges of his Family?
4. If Amir knew that Good People were Coming soon Now, then was Amir hoping to get Killed by Kajol beucz Amir had so Much Guilt?
5. After Amir got Stabbed by the Good Indian Soldier, I'm sorry to say by Why didn't the Indian Dumb Soldier finish off Amir immediately?(67.187.181.37 (talk) 08:05, 18 October 2016 (UTC)).
- Why not try watching the film and working out these things yourself instead of giving the ending away, leaving no real benefit to anyone? Britmax (talk) 08:09, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
The ending does not make sense to me so can You help me? Yes or No(67.187.181.37 (talk) 08:30, 18 October 2016 (UTC)).

The guy Patrick poisoned 1 of the 2 drinks, but Patrick still killed Tommy tied to the Chair.
Why did Patrick still kill Tommy? Was Patrick betraying Tommy?
After they digged Tommy's father out of the Pit, when Patrick appeared, why didn't Tommy raise his own hand to block Patrick's bullet from killing Tommy's father?(67.187.181.37 (talk) 08:40, 18 October 2016 (UTC)).
- Please stop asking hypothetical questions about the plots of films. No-one else can interpret a film for you, as interpreting such things is part of the experience. Britmax (talk) 08:59, 18 October 2016 (UTC).
Detroit Tigers-Toronto Blue Jays rivalry causes
[edit]What were the causes of Detroit Tigers-Toronto Blue Jays rivalry? So far, I know that they were contending for the East Division title and also Toronto Blue Jays star catcher Ernie Whitt was a Tiger player before playing for the Blue Jays not to mention he was a Detroit native.

- The rivalry is a very minor one, if at all. Historically, the Tigers biggest rivals have always been the Indians and the White Sox, as explained at Detroit Tigers and Major League Baseball rivalries. This page Here adds the New York Yankees to the mix as the third biggest rivalry, but lets face it, the Yankees are everyones rival in the AL. The Blue Jays do not really have a traditional rival; though the article titled Toronto Blue Jays notes a weak Tigers rivalry from the 1980s, that was short lived and without any real meat; it was merely the coincidence of the fact that a couple of times in the early-to-mid 1980s, the teams were in contention for a playoff spot in the same year. That's not what rivalries are built out of. Just to show you that the Blue Jays don't have a major rival, here are several sources from the recent past: This Poll claims the Baltimore Orioles, Boston Red Sox, and New York Yankees are their three biggest rivals (in that order), while This one claims the Royals, Rangers, and Red Sox (in that order), while This one says Yankees-Red Sox-Orioles in that order. If no two sources can agree on those rivals, then they don't really have one. Also telling, in that last source, the Blue Jays don't show up on anyone else's list of top rivals. Look, if a rivalry is "real", then it is two-way. Red Sox-Yankees, Giants-Dodgers, Cubs-Cardinals are real MLB rivals. No one considers Toronto a major rival, and Toronto fans can even decide amongst themselves who they don't like. There just isn't one. So no, there is not, nor has there ever been, a real "Tigers-Blue Jays" rivalry. --Jayron32 18:52, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
- And, by the way, Ernie Whitt never played for the Detroit Tigers. --Xuxl (talk) 01:15, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
- Jayron is correct; the rivalry was pretty minor and mostly brought about by them both being good teams in the mid-80s. If there was any hard feelings, it was within the fandom in Ontario. Prior to the expansion that created the Jays in 1977, most baseball fans in Ontario were fans of the Tigers, who were both close and reasonably good. After the Jays came into being, almost everyone changed to rooting for them, but there would still have been that feeling of comparison between the Jays and Tigers specifically. The Jays stunk their first few years, so continuing to root for - or at least follow - the Tigers was somewhat encouraged. Matt Deres (talk) 14:24, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
- I've lived in Detroit since the 70's, and am not aware of any such rivalry. StuRat (talk) 02:18, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
