Would you die for a parent, sibling, other relative, friend, other half etc.?

I have always held the firm belief that I would not die for someone else (no matter whom); the survival aspect of Existentialist beliefs. My life is what matters and it is up to me to prove it. If I were to take my life for someone else to live, who is to say that they would respect that and use it to develop their lives for the better? Most people probably wouldn't even blink, so to speak. If, on the other hand, I choose that someone else dies, the reciprocal is true.

Or maybe I'm just cynical.
You?

Kind of hard to tell at this point...I would say yes for my little brother, but for no one else.

no. i hate everybody. i wouldn't die for anything or anyone.

Goth.

ROFL
I would die for my close family, friends it depends on how good of friends...

No, fuck off. Want me to die for you? Well you gotta die for me first!

I risk my life for my immediate family without even thinking about it.

i would die for anyone...... and im serious here.... i care for about anyone even if they don't deserve it...

There are people coming to my house tonight and they expect either someone to kill or they will kill me; See ya in a little while? xD kidding lol

[/sarcasm]

Lol.

In truth, it depends on the situation. And the person. I can't help my family, because I live halfway across the country.

He asked if you would die for them not if you could ....Like if you had the opportunity to die for your family, would you?

I would for sure

No.

No, I think they would want me to live.

How noble of you to say, however, I doubt you'd actually live up to such a thing. It's easy to say you'd do it, but when push comes to shove,
"Do you have the balls to pull the trigger?"

Nexus, don't be a moron. To show you what I mean, let me reverse your view for the sake of argument:



I made this topic for a purpose and that was to spark debate, not cynical personal attack. You really need to learn to respect opinion - no matter how contrived you believe it to be.

do i have the balls? i have jumped off two story buildings, had my friend jump off a trampoline onto a teeter totter onto my balls, i have done so much that when coming to my family, and their protection, i have the balls.....

Dude are you crazy?

1. You're fucking nuts lol.
2. That doesn't make your smart, it makes you a risk and dangerous to yourself and people around you.
3. Ever thought of doing parkour if not already?

emo's nuts, im suprised his balls are still intact..

I think it would come down to the situation too, i would do the most for my family and close friends. And if i died, we all die and we all 'could' die anytime wether it be a drunk swerving his car into your lane or some other freak accident..



page2 ftw

However, this is different. You're not trying to save anyone from drinking booze or being in a freak accident, are you? In truth, you generally kill more people than you save. Whilst this is self-sacrifice. You're willing to die for somebody else.

Let me just point out that doing "krazee shit" has nothing to do with balls. You can have all the balls you want when joking around and making stunt films with your pals, but when it comes to the life and death of you and your loved ones... you can't even compare the two.

some of the newer stuff i have been doing (for the dvd) has been sometimes life and death situations. I was just pointing out that if i can take that, i can take a bullet for my family.



1. Thats what i always hear
2. We plan out alot of our stunts accordingly before hand, to keep viewers / participants as safe as possible ( well viewers anyways)
3. Not yet, tho i have always loved watching videos on it. So it might be something worth trying....



Maybe.... IDK Yet....

watch my tv show and tell me: http://bnstv.com

No, I'd just try my best to keep them alive.

Probably not.

I myself think that my parents would rather i live than them, and if i was to die for them it would just give them grief.
for my brothers and sisters i would give my life without thought.
If i was older, like more than 40 years older, i'd give my life to a total stranger that was a lot younger than me because i'd have already lived my share.
as for risking my life, there'd be many situations. to long to prooof read.

I would , for anyone except those I know and I hate

id prolly die for my family and my homie J-BIG cuz thats what i look forward to everyday is seeing my family and my homie J-BIG..........

/agree with Tom
I wouldn't die for anybody.

I'd die for a girl that I loved. I wouldn't die for most of my immediate family. But if a guy had a gun in a busy place, I'd probably be stupid enough to act the hero, and try to stop him. It'd be a damn good story if I didn't die, and oh well if I die, it doesn't really matter anyway. I'm gonna die before too long with the shit I eat and my genetics.

In my current life I can't say that I would die for anyone, I think once I have children that I would die for them because me living isn't as important. I've already lived a pretty full life by then (I hope, and since i'm 20 and don't have any kids yet i'm pretty sure I will) and they've still got so long to live. As for someone I love, I really don't know, I would like to say yes but the grief they would live with would kill them I know, but me living and watching them die and knowing that I could have saved them would cause myself so much grief that I would probably be the worlds saddest and grumpiest man alive. So I honestly cannot say.

I don't know.

I've been in a situation where I put myself at risk for another, but it was an instinctive reaction, if I had thought before reacting I'm not so sure I would have continued.

i would die for my family, and maybe for some close friends.

If you die just in the love of a human, then it is useless.

I would die to bring back my brother, If it was possible

I'd die for only a few of my family and friends..

I would only die if it had a decent reward, to save 1 person, no. to save 2, maybe.

As others have said, yeh when im older, 1 for 1 would probs seem more reasonable if the other person was younger, but atm (16) i value my life over most other peoples.

But i would do anything in my power to save someone, provided it doesnt involve dying.

to tell you the truth I highly doubt you would know until the time came....

Honestly, there are a few people I would die for... They would have to be my girlfriend, whom I love more than anything in the world, honestly you dunno half the shit we go through, and yes she lives 500 miles away, and I am, 15 but still... Also I would die for my 3 and a half year old brother... Those two people are the only people I would die for.... The thing that is scary though, is my girlfriend would kill herself for me too... Thus meaning unless I had her promise to me, then she would kill herself from grief...

And yes, I may be EMO, but I do have since about myself, although I do crazy fucking shit too LOL

Lol, naïve teenage love.

Firstly, I would try my hardest to keep my loved ones alive while living myself, as I have a better chance of protecting them in the future if I'm still alive myself. But if that wasn't possible, then the one person I would die for is my girlfriend, who is my entire world.

Yes Tom, I totally agree. They wont be saying that two years down the line: They'll be putting them up for auction ;-)

You could say that yes, but after 2.5 years of being together with my girlfriend, I'd still die for her. It isn't just simple love anymore, it's something special, a "connection". You can all go flame and say whatever what you want, but once you have that special thing, you'll think "wow, so this is what liqfan was saying "

Firstly, you're only 15 so no need to patronise us with the "you don't know what it's like" routine.
Secondly, you'll look back on this in, say, 10 years or so, and laugh. You just don't know it yet.

Before dieing for someone I will became islamist and after my death I will get 21 virgins....

Liqfan, You are still a child: You think you speak wisdom but you speak nonsence. I've bought it, worn it and thrown that t-shirt away.

LOL Tom and Valency, I'm 19, I'm a year older than you guys, so whats that stuff about a child and 15 yr old?? Check my profile next time plz

I know what I'm talking about, had enough of my share in love and shit, I'm not in love anymore, it's something different than love, it's something what connects people together after the love is gone, and after 2.5 years we had serious trouble, and we managed to overcome some serious shit, so if I say I won't laugh at it later, I'm serious.

And Valency, don't start talking to me like that when you're not even an adult yourself.. You're talking like a retired pimp..

I bet they got that "15 years" from BigBCC (look at top of topic)
