That’s one thing I respect about them. They play to win.

They don’t even pay any ****ing attention.

Just imagine you were in congress during the whole PMRC thing and you had to sit through those plebes figuring out music and art.

^ You'd have to lose that attitude if you went to an English school, OH!
"It isn't about who wins or loses, it's about how you play the game." For a hundred years, this had all the force of an eleventh commandment for Brit schoolchildren.

The British Empire played to win.

^ Yes, I guess they did, but regardless of actual events, we were always taught that the Brits fought fair*:

"Tell us all a story
About how it used to be
Make it up and write it down
Just like history."
(Paul Simon)

*Apart from the Amritsar Massacre of 1919, which was a little difficult to justify.

Was bout to say. It's way easy to praise how you play the game when you're winning. It's like terrorism. It's easy as the West to complain that people who have no real way to fight American armies in the field aren't fighting honorably but unless you can provide a reasonable alternative you're just bitching about your own problems.

I really like this one Zappa interview where the interviewer is a woman who starts criticizing him for something or other but he's just so chill and reasonable and by the end you can tell she wants to **** him.
