What does it mean "to take a compromise"?
369239
A compromise is something sort of half way between what you wanted and what was offered.  To take a compromise means to settle for this half-way option.  "To take a compromise" doesn't sound quite right though, the more common phrases would be: "To accept a compromise" if a compromise was offered to you and you were willing to take it, or "to agree a compromise" or "to make a compromise" if you have actively shifted your position from where you were initially.  "To compromise" is also perfectly acceptable on its own.

You draw the line at the point where you have to make an opinionated decision of your own, it is fine to listen to others opinions to a point, as long as you feel they are not influencing your descision, at some point you have to say, ok.....this is what I Believe.......

It's called compromise.  You do a self-evaluation to determine what is important to you, and change your priorities.  Before I just had to look out for me, now I have to look out for my family.  Different priorities.

A little selfish are we? I have no idea but I thought you may want to consider compromise as part of the deal when or if you find out. You know a little time spent listening to your stuff then a little time spent listening to theirs?

It means you are undecided.  I have used it gettign out of answering someone I didn't want to be around and didn't know how to tell them without hurting them.

I thought it could also be  a double meaning in the context of an example.\n\nLike maybe, "There are some people who just won't stop talking.  Take my wife, please."\n\nSo that would be saying take the wife as an example and also take her away.

*Shrugging my furry shoulders* If you made a promise or commitment to others then you should at least fullfill your promise. Of course if that is a lifetime thing lol well perhaps that should be re-thought.\n\nIf it was only with yourself, follow your heart, you are capable of deciding what is best for you...

Compromise.  Meet in the middle and see how you can both have what you want without giving up too much.

Of course. But one party's assent need not be explicit - it can be implied.

Moderates from all groups sound a lot alike, but it is where, when and how they want to spend money for their aims that make a difference.  They also differ on how and who to collect it from.  \n\nOpen minded people with the ability to compromise are an endangered species.

Republican Senators and even Kennedy are hinting they would compromise with a 'close border first then do the rest' approach they previously rejected.  However, what exactly that means isn't clear.  They do seem to be changing their position at least slightly, however.

It's really quite simple. In a buyer's market where there are multiple goods on sale from a variety of retailers then you could wander around until you found the article that you want at the cheapest price or even barter if retailers are desperate for business due to competition.\n\nHowever the saying is not derived from this. It's a reference to the choices you make in life and the consequences of those choices. Thus making the choice is your decision provided that you accept, when making that choice, that there may be repercussions at some future time from taking that path.\n\nAn example could be deciding to drop out of college to take a job as, say, a shop assistant. In the short term you may think that it's a good choice because you suddenly have money to spend and, to your friends, an increase in status due to you working rather than going to college. However some way down the line when they have all graduated and got better jobs than you it becomes apparent that you may have made a wrong decision since they will now earn more than you and have a higher status. If there is no way back it could be said that 'you paid your money and took your choice' with unfortunate results.

It's called diplomacy and negotiation. Respect for others. International relations cannot be based on the concept of might makes right, or acting the bully.\n\nInternally, it means not using illegal means to achieve your ends. When the President signs bills (and it did not begin with GWB), he writes in reservations. The Constitution gives him only 2 options sign or veto. If he signs it with reservations and then expects to enforce those reservations, he is usurping Congress' purview. If it were not for the recent problem with Rep. Jefferson, Congress was readily ceding its power to the President. With A complaisant Supreme Court, we have the Imperial Presidency: if the President does it, it is not wrong.\n\nAnd half of the voting people are ready to give up freedom in the name of being rich, or secure, and thus deserve neither.
