Moral Conundrum Question

Based on the statements alone..I voted for "Love to Win" because I answered it from the POV of a fan following a team I care about. When I play sports, I "love to win" too but I will not cheat or exhibit cut-throat poor sportsmanship to do so. I'll let whiny douchebag "weekend warriors" win if only to send them home "happy" and back in their disillusion cloud...
I abhor sports teams or athletes who will do anything to win--cheat, play dirty, etc.

I'll go with love to win because that's what competition is about. Someone who hates to lose would be more inclined to playing dirty.

on-topic: I dunno if I agree with either of those choices enough to make a decision.
Sports, business or politics.. I want to win but oftentimes that conflicts with reality. A good analogy would be the titles of the X files movie... actually both of them, now that I think of it.
"Fight the Future"
"I want to Believe"
That sums up mine. I hold little hope that this team or that team will win a penant or trophy.. but I hold eternal hope for many things.

**** to lose, i get more frustration from losing than satisfaction from winning i would say.
I have to go with both. I think pretty much every top competitor in any event has both of those apply to them. In some ways both feelings aren't really that different. They are just the opposite side of the same coin. Maybe the desire to win encourages people to do it, while the desire not to lose pushes people to get better.
I **** to lose. Just don't like it. I love to win, but I **** to lose. Personally.
can't have both....One or the other.
born loser, love winning.
Clear as mud! :thumbsup:
I think it makes more sense than the original question anyway :hatsoff:
Yeah, well, I guess you're right about that.

I **** to lose (Or, in Torre's idea, I Want to Believe). I love to win, but losing just burns my cider. Winning is great, but then the next time I need to win again to match it. At least with losing you have nowhere to go but up since you'e already at rock bottom. However, rockbottom is covered in sharp, pointy rocks that really really hurt.
