Blackmail, threats, deceit, etc are other ways to force. Not saying that occurred here, just that your definition has a narrow scope.
- ekianjo 9y agoId rather say you are narrowing the scope of free will. Succumbing to pressure is not the same as being forced.
- sgift 9y agoWhat a brilliant piece of newspeak. "You weren't forced to do what the mugger wanted. You just succumbed to their pressure."
- otp124 9y agoBeing forced IS succumbing to pressure
- rdlecler1 9y agoYou clearly don’t understand the meaning of the word.
- ekianjo 9y agoOh really ? http://www.dictionary.com/browse/forced http://www.dictionary.com/browse/forced > enforced or compulsory Is the first definition of the word. How was it compulsory for Norway to comply? They had their officials at gunpoint?
- dragonwriter 9y agoWhy are you using an adjective def for a verb (past tense of the verb “force".) Two different (related) words... Also, words often have more than just their first definition.
