I think it not true, especially if you hurt people in the process.
I think this statement is conditional, yet false. Not all is fair. Because if you are doing whatever possible to 'hook' someone, are you in love? I don't think so.
In war obviously you must do whatever it takes to win, because you are worldy and it doesn't matter because you are going to die anyway.
yes! another thread recycled! thanks pat!
anytime, resurrection of MEANINGFUL threads...
wow, thats a really good point about "all being fair in love"....i've never heard anyone say that before, but it's so true, so i guess they should change the saying to like and war, or infatuation and war, uh...romantic interest and war?
go to kazaa and search for a video file called "the state love and war". so funny.
wow this was so before youtube
Yeah, no validity at all to this love & war statement here......Funny how widely used this comment is, wonder who actually lives by this standard...Cause screwin over friends & stuff like that to get girls is just silly
we were talkin last night about how there's a thin line between passion and obsession
You mean like Swimfan?
OH NO SHE DIDN'T! that movie was the worst 8 bucks i ever wasted!
HAHA! I can't believe you watched that!
i can't either! i wish i hadn't. i am now trying to block it from my memory in self-defense
i remember all my friends were going to see it and i couldn't believe it cuz it looked so incredibly dumb and i didn't go and i'm still happy about that decision.
it was filmed like literally 4 minutes from where I live...
yeah holmes auto body is in it. and it was filmed in teaneck high school.
I was born in Teaneck..it's a sacred place.
seriously? did you live out here??
I lived in Teaneck for 14 years... good old Teaneck...
Born in Teaneck and lived in Fort Lee for four years. My sister lived there for 8 and my parents had lived in different parts of Bergen for a long time, my dad since he was a kid.
that's cool maybe we bumped into each other sometime and never knew it
We probably did, cause I've been up visiting people your way lots of times before. of course..I didn't speak until I was like 10 so if I did ever meet/see you I probably didn't say anything.
teaneck area is cool! i saw the place where Jay-Z gets his haircuts hehe.
that's in englewood..every time he gets his hair cut there, I collect the fallen locks off the ground, place them in a zip lock bag, and sell them on ebay
ha u and mel would've gotten along then cus she spoke but no one could understand her but me
yo i LOVE that movie... i even brought it and i totally watch it all the time... how do u hate it?
yeah, i kinda like it too
I never saw it, who has it so I can come buy and watch it?
i got it... but its on vhs... u can borrow it if u want...
hahaha. giacomo asks who can i watch it with and mel's like, "yeah i have it and you can take it and watch it somewhere else besides my house"
hahaha, yeah.....i thought that was funny too. She doesn't want to be anywhere near you giacamo!
LoL! i didn't even mean to do that! nothing but love man, nothing but love!
Whatever Mel... I know who my true friends are!!
aw Giacomo! i heart you!
Your a nut!!
haha didn't you know this already? u've known me since i was born! i've always been a nut :)
BTW Tinser, its GIACOMO... just for your references... :)
i was so close...i should of left it as giac as i originally put
Yeah, but you wouldn't have known in the future to spell it correctly... how else are we going to get to know each other better??
its true, sometimes you gotta make mistakes to get anywhere in life
Good thinking... who says you werent smart??
probably daniel m hill
yes, I do recall dan saying something along those lines to me once..But I stuck up for you, saying that you were smarter than he'd ever be..he than began to cry, when he realized maybe this was true..So i said, in hopes of consoling him, "Cheer up, she may be smarter than you, but you'd probably beat her in an arm wrestle"..this fact made him happy again
hahaha, this was a nice little story, i liked it...and yes, he definitely would beat me at arm wrestling
That is, unless you entrusted me w/the job of being your personal trainer..I'd turn you into an Arnold Swarzanegar-ette....w/arms thicker than tree trunks..then, you could not only out smart him, but, kick his butt too
my mom used to be a rower (you know, big long boat and you row up and down rivers in it) she showed us pictures of the girls that get scholarship for such things. they are the largest gorillas i have ever seen. its insane!!! if you want big arms, take that up.
like on a crew team?
yes, thank you. i was trying to think of the sport name but it just eluded me at that second. good job smartie!!!
I truly think you could beat mister lactose intolerant at arm wrestling...
thats because milk gives you strong bones and muscles and so hyldon doesn't have them. you win.
hypothetically i can win, because i'm stronger, faster, smarter...let's just not test this out
Sounds good... and I agree with you on all accounts...
i think you like it cuz you're sister's twin is in it.
ahh yes..Dean brought it up i think..it's so true though....
yeah, but passion is acceptable and obsession is not
Why isn't obsession good?
swimfan
honestly...now that i'm rethinking about passion v. obsession...the line between them is getting less and less clear
Like..can't you love someone soo much that you are obsessed with them? I don't think obsession has to be a bad thing.
well, it depends on your definition of it i guess, obsession is usually connected to psychotic behavior.....you don't gota be psycho to show yer love..
the definition of obsession: is a persistent disturbing preoccupation with an often unreasonable idea or feeling. so, yes, that's a bad thing. ever see or hear of fatal attraction sometimes people get so attached that they can't even function without knowing exactly what their significant other is doing. the paranoia--that he may not like you, or he may be checking someone else out. the constant need of reassurances. that unbalanced fixation is oppressive and will eventually lead to a break up. obsessions in relationships shouldn't be confused with passion and they are not sweet or nice or healthy. definitely rethink this one.
Interesting..is that why all those other boys kept running away?
yeah but obsession need not be stalking as in swimfan.
most def. and it's better to have had and lost than never had at all. and kids go cuckoo for co co puffs
I think that that statement is totally false... who ever said that is a retard... if all is fair in love then is cheating ok? no! totally not! Bottom line- boys r jerks and they all need to be locked away somewhere where they can stop causing problems for us girls!
ah, yes. but who do guys cheat with?! GIRLS! girls are NO better. we all should be locked away. if our faults were what HE were watching, who could stand?! so, hush.
i submit exhibit a: potiphar's wife
meh, bad topic. things are way too complicated to give a definitive "true" or "false." tough guys will say "yeah" until they get totally burned or remember that they have been totally burned. and girls will say no, because they're so flippin' sensetive. i think. I say WAR and LOVE should not be used in the same sentence and that NOT everything is fair in those seperate situations. i'd like to think witnesses have a pretty good idea how to go about dating and marrying without spouting silly sayings like "all is fair in love and war." i think people who use sayings like that aren't serious about their relationships and want an out when they've been careless with another individual's feelings.
Agreed... there is no love in war...
bri, your last sentence here is marvelous!!
