    All's fair in love and war

    Has anyone ever stopped to think how this phrase is so much bullshit?

    All is not fair in love in war. The Geneva Convention is a thing, and i'm pretty sure cheating/enabling cheaters is considered a shitty thing to do, even if you "wuvvvvvv" them

    Isn't the love bit in that saying for trying to get a boyfriend/girlfriend?

    Might be a bit broader than that.

    It essentially means that in difficult situations, any way to achieve a goal is acceptable.

    It's like, "there's more than one way to skin a cat, " and other such sayings. The meaning isn't the literal meaning. And, as most are, it's often used improperly.

    Let's all ride the Gish gallop.

    Love, I can't tell you about. Never been in that.

    War? There is only 1 law of war: win.

    Because, if you win, who the hell is going to be able to do anything about it?

    In war, you kill the other guy, you kill his dog, you burn down the burger joint where he had his first kiss, etc.

    You make him feel well and truly crushed and hopeless, and then when he begs you to stop and kneels, you stop. You do all this because you want the dmn thing to end ASAP. And because you want everyone that's watching to know just exactly what will happen to them if they dare f with you.

    Are you saying that we need to hold a "Geneva Convention" to monitor your prowling?

    Indeed, if someone is willing to cheat on their spouse/bf to be with you, what makes you think they wouldn't do it again?

    I may have taken the term to literally and ignored the context in which it's used 99% of the time.

    But no, we should probably do something about that other thing too.

    Sometimes I wonder how you guys managed to survive high school.
    Indeed, my school must have lied to me about the three treaties before it from 1864, 1906, and 1929, which the 1949 treaty incorporated and updated.

    Your schools are obviously much better than ours.

    Love is war. War is love. They both fuck you in the ass when they can.
