What are you willing to die for? Kill for? [Archive]

What do you hold so precious, that you'd give up your own life, or take the life of another...?

I'd die for my family, my friends, children(sacrificial way such as: tackling a kid out of the way of a car if he's about to be hit), peace, my ideals, and my morals.

I'd kill for my family, my friends, and youngins.

I'd kill for children, only because they haven't lived as long as a life as I have, I'd want them to enjoy the short time they have on this planet.

I'd kill for such little things, because I don't think killing is nescasary, noone has the right to take the life of another.

I don't even know the meaning of life yet. Watching "Monty Python's The Meaning of Life" over and over didn't help either. College hasn't helped me with that yet either.

That said, when I'm still pending on an exact definition of my life and my world, it sounds pretty ignorant/arrogant to say I'm willing to die/kill for something.

[EDIT] At this point, if I had no choice, I will kill for myself.

Well, I spent a few years helping my sister raise her children... I can say I would die and kill for them. As much as I argue with my family, they're my family and I only have one. It wasn't until I moved out of home that I realized how much they mean to me, They had been in my life for so long I missed seeing them every day and while i'm not their father, I think thats the kind of joy I feel when I see them mostly because I helped raise them and they changed who I was inside.

I'd die for my friends, they're that good to me and i'm that loyal to them. I'd kill if it ment their safety.

I don't care about my ideals and beliefs, those will all change with time, but my loyalty is a part of who I am. I don't have religious beliefs and think killing over them is silly. I think aside from those things, I would die for anyone if it felt right, if they had something special that I would hate to see them lose like love, children, or family. Those are the kinds of things I value.

I would not die for my parents as they would not want me to. They are old and have seen a lot already while I am young and inexperienced.

I would die for my child if there wasn't something wrong with them. I would risk my life to save my child even if there was only a slight chance of me living.

I would not die for a friend unless it was to save their life in a situation where I had some chance of living too. Same goes for a sibling.

I would not die for my wife as that would be extremely hard on her and the kids. I would risk my life to save her though if there was even a slight chance of me living.

I am willing to kill for anyone good if the person I am going to kill is trying to harm them and it can be done legally, ie. self defense. I will not kill for no particular reason at all for someone unless it is to kill someone legally to put them out of their misery and be reimbursed with money for the deed.

I'm willing to die for a shot at immortality.
I'm willing to kill for the same.

And back on this side of reality:

There is currently no circumstance where I would willingly throw my life away. This could change in the future, or it might not.

I'm willing to kill when I feel justified in killing. This would include when it is both legal to kill someone (self defense, witnessing a violent crime, etc) and when it is not legal (revenge killing and the like.)

Immortality isn't all that great, I'd think. What if the world would end and you'd be the last human? Really, really boring it'd seem. And outliving all your relatives and friends doesn't seem all that great either.

I want to see how the world ends, or at least how humanity ends up biting the dust. Friends and family come and go, even in a normal lifespan.

To die for? *out with the cliche stuff* True Love.

To Kill for? The same.

But that'd be like... if that ever would happen. Otherwise...

Myself. I would kill to keep me alive. The most primal and basic of all instinct; Self-preservation.

Myself. And none of that crap about "only in self defense". If I want to kill something and I had the chance I'd do it. If I had to die to further my own ends I'd do it to. But at the moment living is the key to seeing my devious machinations to fruition. Honestly, if there's someone I hate, and I had an opportunity I'd kill them in the manner that gave me the greatest pleasure at the lowest risk.

Well I would die for my country, and i would kill for it too. Not be cause i think its great or anything, america has more than its fair share of problems. But because it's my job, although the only reason i joined the air force was to provide for my family. But i made a commitment to do just that. I can't stand people that join the military and are not willing to do the very job they signed up for.

On to the more typical stuff. I am willing to die for (in order of priority) my religion, my wife and children, the rest of my family. Of course all of these have specific instances that i would and would not die for. Of course in all this situations i would try my damnedest to stay alive. I would never just lay down and die.

Then you also have to realise that "Willing to die for" and "willing to risk your life for" are two very differant things. Willing to die for mean that you are willing to do this know that you will die in doing so. Willing to risk your life for means you are willing to do it knowing you might die. I would be willing to risk my life for my friends (if i currently had anyone that i could believe is really a friend), and for certain beliefs and ideals.

I think having something to die for gives your life more meaning, than having to kill for. I would never kill for my religion or my beliefs, as that would be against both of them. I would however kill to protect the same people i would die for. Probily to protect innocent people as well, as long as there wasn't too much danger to myself. Although we likely can never know for sure what would do with out being put in the situation ourselves.

Being in the military I've already made that choice, if it happens or not is another question. But I have already pledged my life to protect my countrymen, my shipmates, my family, and the constitution.

I would die for any of those things if it would serve a purpose and make a difference.

I carry a gun at work, and am trained and prepared to use it if necissary.

Thats good that you made that distinction, also thank you for serving!

To add to that idea though, I've risked my life for a lot of pointless reasons, I would have no qualms with doing it for something that served a purpose.

I'd kill for my immediate family, my children (whenever i do have them), and someone i love (whenever they decide to come along)

I'd wouldnt die for my family cause they wouldnt want me to die, i would die for my children, again whenever i do have them, and i'd only risk death for someone i love cause i know they wouldnt want me to die

Heh, I'd die for alot of things, actually, I mean if it was someone at my school, and I knew they were a good person, or any one at any school, if they'd live on, knowing they had potential to change the world, the country, or the community, I'd die for them.

This whole thread reminds me of this Queens of the Stone Age lyric "I want something good to die for, to make it beutiful to live."

I would only die for my wife and children, whoever they may be one day... I can't say I would die for my mother, father, step-father, or sister, because I know they would hate themselves for putting me in that situation. For my mother especially, that would be worse than death.

What would I kill for...? All of my family, friends, and myself. If I had to defend someone from being killed, I would gladly kill the attacker with little remorse. If someone came after me, I would have no problem in ending them. However, I would always try to end things in a more peaceful manner... or basically not kill. If worst comes to worst, looks like I have to end a life.

This sort of question has made me think a lot in the past... I had a weird childhood and somewhere along the line I began considering the possibility of becoming an assassin. My mom found out that I was having these thoughts and, surprisingly enough, dreams involving assassinations. She didn't seem bothered at all... She even told me that she considered becoming one at one point. When she described her thoughts, I discovered a new, very violent side of her I never knew of. She really had me worried.

Anyway, that sort of dream seems far off now... I don't think I could kill for money unless it truly meant improving the quality of life for people. Offing someone because they pissed another off... Not worth ending a life. No matter what, life is a sacred thing.

- Im willing to kill/die for my people. Not for my goverment, but definately for my people. Considering Im enlisting after college.
- Im willing to die for my or any child. And Im willing to kill any child killer.
- Willing to die/kill for my future wife. If she told me to kill someone no way would I, but I meen if she was being harmed than of course I would.

I think that's it.

I'm just curious, with the way the government under the Bush Administration has been walking all over the constitution and its amendments, how strict are you on the whole dying/killing for the constitution?

Myself, I would kill/die for my family and friends if it meant that they could live. I wouldn't seek out an opportunity to do either. I like living and jail really doesn't appeal to me.

Kill for? Self defense. Maybe revenge, like if someone tryed to kill me, and failed, or something like that.

I'm one of those crazy guys who enlisted in the Army. I served time on the ground in hostile-fire zones. I'm pretty serious about it.

I think the problem that the current administration faces is the balancing act between security and safety. With what happened in September 2001, I think they are erring too much on the side of security out of a sense of realization that bad people can do bad things to Americans on American soil.

The actions of any administration do not affect my belief that the Constitution is the best vehicle for government ever conceived by man.

I think if you love someone enough to die for them, or to kill for them, then you did find the meaning of life.

I would die or kill for my family (my husband,children,my brothers and parents)
when I love someone, I love the person with all of my heart,all of my soul, and my whole being. not one bit less. its hard for me to love someone.maybe cause I was let down alot... but if you find someone you find worth dying for, or killing for, didn't you find the meaning in life then?

it makes me sad to see people telling eachother they love eachother after only have known eachother a few hours. its like when you are "dating" you just HAVE to say I love you... but thats not right. those are really big words and you should never use them just to throw around like that.. just like "I hate you..." you cannot hate a person without loving it first.. well thats my opinion...

but my family, and a few friends, they are the ones I would die for, without any hesitation... and of course kill for as well... ;P

problems are to be solved ;)

Willing to die for pants that actually fit.

Seriously though, difficult question. I think I'd have to reply with eternal glory, knowing dieing knowing I accomplished something great in life. This could be anything from having a great bunch of children or being the starter of a nation's dynasty that'd last for hundreds of years and will always be talked about in history books.

Preferebly the last, but one would need children for that too so having children is the first step.

Willing to kill for?

Where do you draw the line, exactly? You'd die for him/her if s/he needed braces, but not if s/he had, say, a convulsive disorder? Or do you demand perfection in your offspring in order for them to qualify for your heroic protection?

Lea

11-11-2005, 09:51 PM

I don't have a husband or children to die for. As for my friends, probably not.

I love my parents dearly, but I couldn't die for them. That would cause more pain than anything because they took so much time to raise me. They are the ones that would die for me.

I might die for my country. If I had some secret info that could kill a lot of people in my country, I would sooner die than let an enemy kill my people. I could probably kill for my country too if it was a last resort.
