depends... do you want to win?

"Fair" is a human concept. Fairness does not exist, except in the human mind. War is never fair, because destruction and domination are very poor ways to resolve a difference of opinion. Very few wars can be considered anything but a foolish waste of human life. Love has nothing to do with our concept of fairness. If you were fair in love, you could find yourself in love with everyone. That would make your house more than a little crowded. The term "all fair in love and war" is generally used by those whom the rest of us would consider anything but fair.
-
TRUE, to a degree of course
-
False. Love and war have nothing in common.
-
Everybody in a war loves what they are fighting for.
-
False. In war, a low percentage of civilian casualties is acceptable when fighting. When fighting while in love, it is unacceptable for you to kill others. So all is not fair.
-
----FAIR, FAIR, FAIR, FAIR--YOU ARE DRIVING ME CRAZY OR MORE CRAZY ----
-
No. None of it is fair. When is War fair? When is love! NO! It just ain't fair!
-
False. It suggests that love and war are circumstances which somehow suspend the normal rules of ethical conduct and values. Basically, its a way to justify I'm-going-to-do-whatever-I-feel-like-doing. Bad stuff.
-
No. Unethical behavior is unethical behavior.
-
In war, if you ask me - everything's fair. But in Love, I can't say the same... but that's because I've just had my heart broken, so I'm tottaly biased. =P
-
My answer is yes, all IS fair in love and war. Look what we are fighting for?
-
No I do not believe so. It is easy to say yes in war but then we truly only believe that it is fair if it is OUR side. In love everything cannot be fair that indicates that being dishonest is fair and no relationship can be built without trust. Love is important but so is our integrity
-
NO. As far as love if a woman doesn't want me as much as I want her then there is no sense in either of us wasting our time. Too much else out there available. As far as war fairness never is a consideration. It is about surviving or accomplishing national goals. Is the objective worth the moral, financial, and human cost. Unfortunatly the people making these decisions no longer place themselves or anyone they personally care about at risk. At least in America.
-
There are established rules for warfare. Love is trickier, but love itself dictates loving behavior.
-
Spoken like a woman seeking permission to pursue a married man. Hope I'm wrong. NO- all is not fair. Do unto others as you would have.... because what goes around comes around.
-
Make love not war, hell... get married and do both!
-
sort of?
-
true
-
Depands about, u r in love or in war.
-
True in love states. False in war betrayal.
-
All's fair in Love only.There is no love when it comes to war.
-
Sadly, I agree with that statement.
-
General William Tecumseh Sherman would have certainly subscribed to that thought during the US Civil War.
-
Even if I didn't, I'd have to beware of those who do...!
-
in war u can do what ever u feel right and feasible to eliminate the enemy. Like wise while u make u love with your partner u can resort to what ever means u love to derive maximum pleasure.
-
The saying is actually "All's fair in love and war." It is quite plainly not true. Murder remains a capital offense, even if you bump off a rival in love, and the fact that we have the Geneva Convention indicates that even in war there are moral imperatives.
-
I do not believe all is fair in love and war. There is often much unfairness and injustice in both love and war.
-
Yes True, all is fare in love and war. Do what you must to obtain what you want, but remeber there is usually a cost accociated with war. Love makes people murders, liars, blind, stupid, depressed, happy,etc. There is no one word to describe love and some people will go through great lenghts earn to hold on to it.
-
Actually, all's FAIR in love and war. I think it's true to an extent, but it's more of a clever saying than anything else. Really doesn't have any huge significant meaning to it, except for those who like to cheat and do devious things.
-
Yes. I belive that when you choose to fight for something, you commit to destroy that which stands in your way.
-
no i do not. love and war is what makes people sad and lonely. if you really think about it, can you think of a time where all is fair when you were in love..? i cant....
-
No. But all is not fair in anything else, either.
-
Nothing is fair in war......
-
Come on, nothing is fair. You can't measure love and you only have win and lose in war.
-
Everything is fair, all the time.
-
Yes......no limits.
-
Indeedee :)
-
No, there are so many unfair situations in Love and in war.You can lose both battles in a heartbeat...and that's not fair!
-
Only if your naked for both : )
-
Most of the time,all is unfair for me!
-
Yup. War is not meant to be pretty, and there are no rules in it. If you get to that extreme, you can't afford to hold back. Love is the same way, although there are some rules that if you break you are much less likely to find love, as it is the most important thing in life.
-
No I do not believe that. Sin is not fair in anything.
