I'm going to use the fallback phrase of my surprisingly optomistic father -
"The only things in life that are fair are hair and the weather"
What that brings to this discussion?
I don't think either love or war are inherently fair, nor just nor morally right.
So you make your choices, you can act with respect and love (love), or you choose to see the fairness in the conflict and enlist and fight or choose not to and protest against it (war).
In my experience of love I'd have to say false. And, given my experience of war, I'd have to say that I didn't see a single thing fair about that either.
Why is it that all these wonderful expressions in the world are usually a load of old tosh?
Isn't this really a negative rather than a positive statement? 'Fair' meaning 'Anything Goes' which really means that it isn't fair? I think I would have to vote 'TRUE'. very clever post Indy
I feel the need to recomment. I hadn't thought about murder or blackmail or numerous other things. My thinking automatically excluded them beccause I know I wouldn't do them.
SO having said that. I'd have to say false.
There are things I will not do, breaking up a marraige is one of them.
Rather than respond individually here is my response: Admin is right there is nothing fair in war, but the rules of "civilised society” have no place on the battlefield where a certain level of mongrel is required to protect your team.
But in love? Is love fair? And should it be so?
Is love a balance of yin/yang or rather is it the constant tussle of strengths and weaknesses where we strive to compliment each other and provide support where and when it is needed? I would like to think that all is fair in love, but that this must be tempered by respect, honesty and above all fidelity.
I guess the 1st rule of ethical seduction applies but only more so: “Always leave her better than you found her”
“Always leave her better than you found her” But what do we get in return but heartache, melancoly and huge amounts of non taxable donations to her life!!! Sorry: It is the divorcee come out in me!

Is your question about defining love, or what you consider to be fair in love, Dr Jones?

Comes down to personal responsibility and choice.
You didn't say discuss, Dr Jones! :P
Pull out all the stops!
If it's love, if it's real, if it's got to be done.
Hell yes!
Blitzkrieg Baby!
I didn't murder the woman he was engaged to. Though I considered it.
Luckily, he came to his senses on his own.

Indy, Make love not war. ;)
ChickyBabe: I think everything is fair as long as it is done with respect, done honestly and is done with complete fidelity.
I've always learned from my mistakes.. making love and war, in my case, fair. You win some, and you lose some.
There is such a thing as honor.
But what do we get in return but heartache, melancoly and huge amounts of non taxable donations to her life!!!
Sorry: It is the divorcee come out in me!
Anju: Life is all about balance.
Cinn: Honor can still mean things aren;t fair.
Scorpy: ahhhh divorce, from the the Latin word: to rip a mans genitals out through his wallet.
