    If you're feared in the beginning, you'll end up being loved by some.

    Feared for sure. You can have more fun that way.

    People who want to be feared aer people who have small willies. Let's be honest, how insecure do you have to be?

    There wa a guy who wanted to be feared by all across Europe and he's rumoured to have a very smalll will. And one testicale. And some bizarre perversions.

    Still want to be feared?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Loved. If anyone fcks with you then you'll have many people willing to execute revenge on your behalf in exchange for a winning smile and some Jelly Tots.

    No interest in being feared, tbh.

    Loved by all would be good.

    Lusted after by all would be even better. Currently working on converting the last few hold-outs ... ;)

    By loved do you mean physically or emotionally?...

    And you base that on what exactly? Not that I agreee or disagree either way, I just can't stand logical phallacies used as fulcrums for arguments.

    For some fear is a better option. Dictators for example. Niccolo Machiaveli says in the prince 'since fear and love can not be reconciled it is far better to be feared because men forget love sooner than they will lose their fear'.

    I want people to fear my lovin' :D

    wild guess is that he prefers to be feared and he is using his own small willy as an example

    Loved, then you wouldn't need people to be afraid of you.

    It's basic psychology! The wanting to be feared is based on a need to be in control. Classic schoolyard bullying behaveiour. If you can't control those around you, then you can't be in control of the events that affect your life.
    (The small willy bit was more of an analogy)
    Machiaveli proves the point, but the question must then be changed:

    Do you want control or freedom?

    I Want You All To Fear Me Now


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,104 ✭✭✭✭djpbarry


    I'd love to be feared by all...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,368 ✭✭✭thelordofcheese


    Feared.

    Nobody ever got their enemies to surrender out of love. jesus tried that and ended up nailed to a few bits of wood for his trouble.

    If he'd continued with his da's old school fire and brimstone ways judas would be a footnote in history and jesus would be still around to turn water into funk.
    What a world it'd be.....

    Nobody ever got their enemies to surrender out of love.
    But if you were loved by all, how would you have enemies in the first place?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 411 ✭✭HereticPrincess


    Loved :)
