If you can't BEAT them, JOIN them : If you can't JOIN them, BEAT them

What are your views about the two statements? The words are repeatedly used but the meaning is entirely opposite with each other. What can you say about the first and second statement? Have you tried it? Any experience?

... I just go with a whatever thing...

Personally I beat them. <3

No, not really. xD But I wouldn't just JOIN something I don't believe in.

I lean towards the "ignore them" option.

Indifferent to them.
Sometime I join in when I need to.

I'm go with the flow kind of person, but I suppose depending on the situation that either one of those could be implemented. x3

I never knew it really meant... ha ha ha.

I would never join them! And if they won't let me join, I'll beat them >:c

Rofl 8D I like the saying!

It depends. I'm normally the last to jump on the bandwagon, just out of stupid pride and stubbornness. XD And if they don't let me on, I go off and do my own, better, thing. They follow. They always do. XD

Never join what you can't beat.. you might have to fight to the top in the end and what fun is that if you know you can't beat them?

..that is all D:

Well, thats a hard question :(
if i can, i'll ignore them.
if they wont get off my back and i can beat them without retribution, i do that.
But if theyre a group of crazy, flesh eating, zombie worshipping, people snatching, faerie cavorting, fire-ring dancing, glassy eyed, wall writing, nail biting, clothes wearing, crazies, who'll kill me if i dont convert, i'll be joining.

LoL... Some answers are funny. I personally don't know what kind of approach should I do with this statement. Sometimes I'm exactly what the statement is saying, sometimes not at all. I guess it would just really depend on the situation.
