lumpenprol Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 ok this is me doing a troon thread. Just curious what people think of this saying. Seems to me it seems like one of the more untrue ones. Another would be "whatever doesn't kill me, makes me stronger". How do people interpret it? Any other weird sayings out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goDel Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 When used, I'd consider it a warning. It's both an announcement and there's an implied volatility as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
granty Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 normally said by someone who's done something underhand or hurt someone in the process of getting what they want. This. I kept saying it to myself after falling in love and running off with my bass player's fiancé. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When used, I'd consider it a warning. It's both an announcement and there's an implied volatility as well. I think goDel is right here. Historically, I think the phrase is supposed to mean "watch out for people in love, they'll do weird stuff" not "Well it was okay because I was in love so nyaa". Maybe the meaning's been corrupted over time though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autopilot Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I would posit that there's more rules in war than love. There's no tribunal for love crimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chenGOD Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 definitely not. we as a society hve developed many regulations concerning both love and war. these have evolved over time - for example the use of chemical weapons is no longer considered acceptable, neither is clubbing some girl over the head dragging her back to your cave. brief cause im on the cellular communication device.

Root5 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 "Blood is thicker than water" is a true statement about the relative viscosity of fluids. "The whole is greater than the sum of the parts" is an alternate interpretation of math, that ought to be taught alongside the conventional approach in schools. Teach the controversy!

Guest chunky Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 sucks to be a loser. great to be a winner. win-win situations? yes yes, but how do you win-win a woman? ew, disgusting. sun tzu said all warfare is based on deception, which is sad, but it's even sadder to have your side be wiped off the face of the earth. alexander the great achieved a lot, a winner of history, but a very brutal person. what about assad in syria? theres no way he'd use chemical weapons on his own people and give israel an excuse to hijack his country by deception. no leader could be so stupid. but all kinds of respectable western institutions promote these lies. if assad has no means to defeat even the simplest of lies, then does he deserve to be a ruler of a country? it's not as if there's a world police force that can enter the scene and punish lies and promote truth. when a lion hunts a gazelle, it doesn't matter if the lion used deceipt or not (like pretend to run in one direction and then have his friend pounce from the other side), it just matters that the gazelle is having his guts eaten up by the lions. there are concepts like chivalry and nobility that ought to be revived for these times http://edition.cnn.com/2013/03/09/living/higher-call-military-chivalry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lumpenprol Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 "All's fair in love and war" = "There's no such thing as "fair" in love and war" imo yeah, that's the way I take it. I mainly find it a weird saying because it even introduces the concept of "fair". It should just be "chaos reigns in love and war" or something like that (preferably said by a fox as in Antichrist). Once you introduce the concept of "fair" then it sounds weird, as if "anything is permitted in love and war", which should obviously not be true (normatively speaking). Funny thing is, when it comes to love at least, I think many (most?) people try to do the "right thing", but end up getting fucked up anyway...heh...
