To Die For

[JayCaz]

My Mum, My 3 little sisters & my Nephew, in a heartbeat.

 

[JayCaz]

Oh, and Duncan Ferguson. I'd die, kill, rape, and possibly be raped, for Big Dunc.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Hmmmm I don't think i could answer that untill i was put in the situation. But if i had the opportunity to save my mum and dad at the expense of my life and i didn't take it I don't think i could live with myself anyway. We all gotta die someday, might aswell die for a good cause.

Hahaha Big Dunc wouldn't need anyone to die for him, he's frickin' nails!

You said it brother.

I just wanted to put it out there though, just so he knows. t:

Yea it's always good to have someone like him on your side! Didn't he spark out a couple of burglars and hold em untill the police came or something?

People always say that they'd be willing to die for their wives, husbands, children, parents, siblings, etc. But who exactly would you all be willing to actually die for?

I hate to sound like a goody-goody, but in all honesty given the situation there's probably quite a few people that I would be willing to risk death for. Any member of my family really, several close friends, most people I like.

However if the case is that you have a choice either you die or _____ dies. I'd probably only sacrifice myself willingly for my kid, my wife, my parents, and one close friend.

Nothing.

And I'm fine with that.

 

[a cupcake mess]

My two little cousins.

I never felt any kind of love that I feel for them.

 

[xisaacx]

In a John Connor situation, the world maybe. Although its pretty ****ty. But I dont have much close family. So the honor of my deceased dad and my mom

 

[Swordmaster]

My best friend. Easy.

 

[DOG LIPS]

My best friend. Easy.

MB will be pleased. He can wear you like a bullet-proof vest.

Yeah he came home with his wife to find em both backing out of his front door with his TV. He twatted em both (breaking one's jaw) and sat on them until the Police came. Good stuff!

One of the burglars actually tried to sue him for unprovoked assault as he was 'a burglar by trade & just doing his job'

So yeah, I'd die for Big Dunc t:

I feel that true heroics does not have any kind of predetermined or premeditated process. If we would give our lives for anyone, then it would only truly be known in that instant. Any of us can say anything right now but we're only making a projection. There are many concepts that people don't think about when they say things like this, for instance: "How do you know the person would not die for you?" If that is true, then the person would not want you to die for them, because they'd die for you.

Now it is a more complicated situation when children are involved. It's no longer a question of what is the right course of action, but a matter of trying to save the child. However, to say that you would knowingly sacrifice yourself for your child is to suggest that the situation is optimal for such a situation.

Who says that you can react on time? Who says you can?


Dang, I had more to say...but I really must go now. Um...To be continued?

I seriously thought (hoped) this thread would be about the expression, "to die for". You know, like, "this cake is to die for." Which then lead me to believe cake would be involved. So, naturally, I'm disappointed.

Same.

Joel Schumacher.... but only if he promised to give Batman another try.

[Drakon]

That I cannot answer. Unless I were actually put in a situation where I could die to save another, only then would I know if I were up to it. It's easy for anyone to say they would die for such and such, but would you really?

Cue Eff Tee.

My girlfriend LOVES this stuff. It's really good, and simple to make. Not too horribly healthy, but eh.

 

[Captain Planet!]

World peace...

 

[Silverstein]

Okay I can continue. To put it simply, many people are not brave enough to jump in front of a bullet or push someone out of the way of a car. For those who are, your goal is not necessarily to kill yourself, but to save the life of the person you are trying to save.


So many people have listed reasons and people, but it's a false statement because none of us would know.


Example:

Say there was a kid you don't like. You don't hate him/her but you don't like them either. But you see that a car is barreling down the road, and you're within distance of pushing them out of the way. The honorable thing to do would be to immediately run over and push the kid.

But maybe the car swerves at the last moment and ends up killing you instead. (Think: Yu Yu Hakusho)

You would die, under those circumstances, for [insert person you don't like]. Because you did. Or if you look at it from an honorable stand point, then you'd die for anyone.

To save anyone is not to kill yourself. How do you save someone that's drowning if you die too? You think you're saving them, you just happen to die.

Understand?

This is one of those things where i feel ******** talks.

No one really knows what they would or won't do unless the situation arises. You see people in crises all the time, people who have escaped from fires and don't go back in to save those they have sweared they would die for.

People again say they'll die for someone else. WHat does that mean, they'll sacrifice themselves so another person may live, or they'll simply die for any of their needs. Will I die because my brother is too lazy to pay his rent and the heavies come in wanting to crack some skulls. WIll I die for my sister who has wants some lungs because she has smoked away her own.

if you look at it in the former, I'm not sure I'd die for anyone who would die for me, what's ultimately the point? Someone is going to die so what values their life over mine.

as a young person myself, i doubt i would purposely die for anything or anyone. However if a situation came up and i reacted without thinking, i could see myself running into the road to save someone or jumping on to a rail track to drag someone off. But if i spent too much time thinking about it, probably not.

Well said, November. My thoughts exactly.

I don't think anybody means it like that haha. That's more like "I'm going to die b/c of someone else"

 

[Kargo Warrior]

The real,honest question is whether there is someone in your life that can't be replaced...that you can't life your life without that person...that just imagining such a world is painfull enough.

In a sense it's really simple...whether you are willing to be pain 10-15 minutes (or maybe you feel nothing,i.e die instantly) or live in pain your whole life.

I have only one person in my life that i would do anything for...if something happens to her,i could've stopped it but didn't...i will lose the will to live* so i'll be dead inside anyway.

* I'm not saying that if something happens to her and i coudn't have done anything that the same thing will happen,i'll be devastated but with time i'll manage to live with it.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Thats sorta how I feel, I couldn't say what I would do untill I'm put in the situation. I'm not afraid of death, not atall, i've been in some situations where i could of died.

If i had the opportunity to save someone like my mum, dad or gf but at the cost of my life and i didn't take that opportunity I don't think I could live anyway.

Well both points could equate to the same thing

are you going to die for someone you love because they got pissed and burnt the house down and killed another person you'd die for?

The term itself has lost its meaning. it's a parental term in order to protect those below you so they can flourish.

now anyone who has any shred of self worth needs to feel inside they aren't 'that' person by holding some peer as an equal value to themselves or someone older or someone at all.

to say you'd die for someone because you can't live without them is pure craziness. Infact to state you couldn't live without someone is craziness (it's possible but this is from back in the day when you married the girl across the street, moved into a house round the corner and stayed together for 60 years till you died four hours apart. not anything like a relationship today).
