A Chair-pisode II

Under all circumstances, the ladies had every right not to give way. Here's why:

a)
No ordinary person can stand with the type of aggression and arrogance the settlers displayed. They should watch THE SURVIVOR(s) or THE APPRENTICE more often.

b)
Knowing that there are more people than chairs, the settlers did not seek to mark their territories with their belongings, thereby constructing a legitimate right to the seat. They should play MONOPOLY more often.

c)
Knowing that there are more people than chairs, the settlers chose not to take turns to go for the toilet or free coffee, leaving one soldier to guard the territory. They should play RISK more often.

d)
Knowing that there are more people than chairs, the settlers knew that The Law of Music Chair applies. They should play or watch their children play MUSICAL CHAIRS more often.

There is no doubt that the Conquerors were wrong in the first place. But there is no need to fight such a lengthy war as if dear life depended on the availability of that particular seat. The settlers can give them a piece of their mind loudly (preferable) and leave gracefully, if the Conquerors are still seated. The Conquerors would be shamed (optional) and the settlers would be remembered for their animosity.

That's my personal point of view.
