What cause would you die for?

In the unlikely event in in a situation where a group if people were in danger and the only way to save them was heroic sacrifice, I'd do it. They all get a tomorrow, and many lives going on is better than just one.
For a loved one's life or, if it comes down to it, a stranger if need be. I hope this doesn't get a low content warning, I just don't know what else to put here.
I wouldn't say it's a cause but I would liked to think I would sacriface myself in order to saved my best friend (like push him out of the way of danger or make sure he got into safety before from some danger behind us). I just hoped I have the courage to do so should that situation arise in real life.
The only cause I'm willing to die for is old age. I mean seriously you only get 1 shot at life, I'm not gonna waste it on ideals. I do understand others who say they willing to sacrifice their life for certain causes but to me, you can only say that for sure once you're actually facing death. As long as it doesn't happen I'm sticking with what I'm sure of (not wanting to die). I'll edit my post if I actually live through a situation where I make an other choice but I'm doubtful whether it shall happen.
Nothing short of the survival of the human race or something similar.
I wouldn't die for my family, my friends or my country.
Call me self-centered, but I would allow another to die before me in almost every instance.
The ONLY thing I would be willing to terminate my existence for is some kind of insane hypothetical where sacrificing myself would allow the human race to continue existing.

Hmmm I see your point-curiously how many would you kill/would you kill innocents in order to save your life?Desert Punk said:It seems counter productive to die to protect my life or my right to live.knight steel said:
I would certainly kill for them though!
Causes? None I can think of, I might support a whole bunch of them but none enough to lay down my life.
In general, I'd say I'd risk my life for my friends (and maybe some family members). But until such a situation actually presents itself I guess I don't really know...

GREAT! Now I'm hungry
Remind me never to get on your bad side ok XDDesert Punk said:For the first part, as many as is necessary I suppose! If someone was threatening my life or right to live they are less than a person to me and thus have no value in continued existence.knight steel said:
As for how many innocents would I kill...Tougher question, at the moment probably 1 or 2, dont put much stock in folk I dont know. And before you ask, no the innocents would not be any of my friends, they are all dirty assholes and bastards like myself.
Just keeping on going higher until you find your upper limit of innocent you could stomach killing to save your own life!!!Pawkeshup said:How many innocents?knight steel said:Hmmm I see your point-curiously how many would you kill/would you kill innocents in order to save your life?Desert Punk said:It seems counter productive to die to protect my life or my right to live.knight steel said:

IMO if you decide you want to start a war then you should be the first into the conflict zone...on the front lines, none of this sitting in an armoured bunker surrounded by a bunch of spec ops double hard bastards, and the last one out.
OT
Nothing really, but then again maybe if i found a good enough reason and could do it badassfuly[footnote]yes i know this is not a real adjective...but it should be![/footnote]enough.
Saying that though i have done some quite dangerous things to get my mates out of danger before, you never think about it at the time. It's only after the event that you look back and think 'woah, that was way dangerous'.
Ahhhh... nothing. I'm far too thanatophobic to willingly die for something or someone.
Most likely, I would attempt a safer solution (e.g. warning someone of an oncoming vehicle as opposed to pushing them out of the way). Though with my nature as an observer, I can very easily see myself doing nothing at all.

O_O well I'm sure that will never happen in real life so you're all set and safe no need to kill any hypothetical thread creator's ok ^_^Desert Punk said:Hell, its not my bad side that ya gotta worry about. I just need to remind you to keep clear of me when some crazy SOB tells me I have to kill a couple of innocent folk if I want to keep on living!knight steel said:Remind me never to get on your bad side ok XDDesert Punk said:For the first part, as many as is necessary I suppose!

Edit: In that case the old Maxim "I dont have to outrun Desert Punk, I just have to out run you." applies xD
