I don't believe that all is fair in love and war, because the majority of the time when two people have spats alot of things get said and done that was done out of spite because you were upset. Then after some time goes by you reflect on what happened and you usually end up regretting it. If you could just separate yourself from the situation for awhile and let things blow over you can be the better person in the end, and that will get you further in life in the long run.

I have to disagree with the message of this adage. Someone declared that everything was allowed in all attempts at conquest. This is a very selfish and short-sighted view of life. It may ease the minds of the men going into battle to think that the deaths they cause are okay because, after all, it is war. It may help a would-be lover to become a stalker because he believes it is a sign of his love. In both cases, they are hiding behind the adage without having to think too hard about what they are really doing. In fact, all IS NOT fair in love or war. Torture, stalking, and killing are never acts of fairness. Even if they are acts of retribution, does that really make it "fair?" No.
Therefore, I suggest that this adage fall out of usage. It is a tool of the weak-minded to do what they desire without thinking about the consequences.

Nope. That's a really dumb saying actually. Love and war...that's when people can take the most advantage of each other because that's when people are most vulnerable.
Anyone who uses this quote is just looking for justification for treating someone unfairly.

Well I would say if you going to war anything goes there are no rules in war.
As far as love there are many differnt kinds of love so I quess it would depend on the type of love your talking about.

What is true is that we are all responsible for our own actions and we all have to live with the things we do.
Live your life with honor and respect, so that you can feel good about who and what you are.
No-one ever truly gets away with anything. What goes around comes around, whether we see it or not.

Depends on your view of fairness!
