| User | DavidHirt | 2006-05-04 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | Katana, I thnk you’re misunderstanding the phrase. What ’All’s fair in love and war" means is that any means justifies the ends. which is to win. If I want to beat you in a war I can cheat, use bigger weapons, and do basically whaever I have to do to get what I want. It means the same for love. The phrase means that if there is a woman or man you love, you can do anything you have to to gain the affection of the loved object. Obviously it’s a pretty negative idea. |
| User | Munchie_1226 | 2006-05-04 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | Love is the purest thing that one can hold. There should always be compromise and understanding. Always fairness. It’s when one only BELIEVES they have love that it is unfair. They are giving love the wrong definition. Too many believe something is love when it really isn’t.
War......it can be unfair. But....if it was instigated....it was called for. One side behaves irrationally.....the other side retaliates.....seems fair to me. What’s unfair is the people that get put in the war. Yet, they decided to enroll to defend their country....so I guess that is fair as well.
*shrugs* Just my point of view. |
| User | Katana Ryoko | 2006-05-04 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | Alright I have no idea what that means. But I would say no because to me love is never fair its almost always one sided unless two people can learn to compromise but even then we’re always losing something. In war its definitely not fair because one side always has the bigger weapons and the other will always lose. So its false. Peace out. |

That is a tough one.....there is a sense of truth behind that......for all will be what it is to be in either subject.
Love....that will be what you make of it. Many confuse the definition of love....or many feel it in false pretensions. True love...eternal love....infinite love....all is fair. Now the love that gets confused with lust....that sorta deal.....all will still be fair for the love really isn’t there.
War....I think that if you have the right person making the decisions....yes it can be fair. Now, if you throw a yahoo in like Bush that just wants to make an impression....no...not fair.....and on the other side throw in a person like Osama.....no....not fair.
It is all on how the situation is handled. |
| User | ghostknight | 2006-05-03 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | i’d have to say that fairness has no effect on love or war. love cannot be logically defined, so how can one determine the point that it should become fair? and war, well that’s obvious. people killing people. brothers killing fathers, sons raping and killing other fathers’ daughters. fairness itself is a joke. |
| User | Toxic_Rayne | 2006-05-01 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | No, nothing’s fair in love and war...but I say..."if you want peace, prepare for war" But this debate is not about that, lol |

If the horse has one front leg in the air the person died as a result of wounds received in battle. If the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.

Ab-so-lutely! And true love is definitely not fair. You go the extra mile to give grace to the one you love. Fairness would leave no room for grace. mae |
| User | jessie thomas | 2006-04-04 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | I think I agree that all is fair in war, since war in its self isn’t fair. But all is not fair in love. And I agree with you on that love means you can say that you’re sorry. |
| User | onetruesmartass | 2006-04-01 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | I don’t think so. That reminds me of the old saying "Loving someone means never having to say you’re sorry." Fuuck that. To me, loving someone means you will say your sorry.

| User | Rokhal | 2006-03-30 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | I suppose all’s fair in war, but not love. War isn’t fair to begin with, and the natural goal is to get it over with as quickly as possible. |
