When can you use the accusation `That is not fair?'.
Thinking about it from the other perspective is likely to make it just that. If there is such a thing, what is fair?
During the invasion/emanicipation of Iraq (depending on your framing), a lot of people were talking about the unfair tactics of human shields, dressing up as civilians and terror.
If you believed in something and were willing to sacrifice everything to avoid an `evil invader', would you care what was `fair'? Is war fair?
When Shaka Zulu broke his long throwing spear in half and ran across the field to stab people at close quarters, was that fair?
When the British used guns against the Zulus to beat them, was that fair?
Love is probably the same, we would like to be treated fairly... but chances are fair means different things to different people... And inconsistently too, depending on which side of the trade they are on.
