if you believe so, then no action has a repercussion to you! others of course, may disagree :D
if we were to play chess and you moved your rook to a position that allows me to put you in checkmate that is not a repercussion to me, it is a boon. To those rooting for the almighty Psy-T, they would, most likely, view your loss of the game as the repercussion for your poor move.
Point being that a repercussion, in the most commonly accepted spirit of the word, is objective. |

most of your comments (aside of the red herring of our two previous posts) are dependent upon the word repercussions entailing necessarily negative events following an action. however i'm not familiar with that interpretation and apparently neither is dictionary.com. |

ah, yes i'm going by a) Cambridge Dictionary's definition:
the effect that an action, event or decision has on something, especially a bad effect:
and b) the common parlance of the word I'm used to. i understand that it can also mean, and perhaps according to most dictionaries primarily means, the effect of an action.
In the context of the poster's question i took it to mean negative consequences of an action. |

Nope, that period at the end of the "sentence" means no mas. |

lmao, if you use the primary definition in most major dictionaries, your original point is absolutely right ^.^
edit: if this site were in Hebrew the best argument I could muster would be a glassy-eyed stare at the monitor, for you to speak as well as you do in English is impressive. |

btw, since you used a chess analogy earlier, i suppose you enjoy the game, care to pm me your msn address so we can play? also, i'm developing a chess variant (on the comp) with tribu; an additional player/betatester would be appreciated :) |
