Though what my father used to tell me "Don't think 'What would I die for?' Think 'What would I fight for?'"
That is a great thought... and in a way also a great answer to the OT´s question.

The only cause I'd be willing to die for is the one that will never ask me to do so: My own self-preservation.

I'd die for my friends, I'd die for my freedom. I might even die for another's freedom, don't know, never been called to.

Well that quote got messed up ;P
Let's just say the joker is making you decide-kill innocents or he kills you!!
Sorry, none of my business to respond to this, but I kinda wanna play. Ignore it if you don't approve.

My response to the Joker would be:

"Ah come on JK, you're meant to be chaotic in your actions, give me something better than a binary choice quandary: Have some fucking passion in your work, for Christ's sake!"
Gwhahahahahahaha brilliant XD
That was great thanks for the laugh!!!!
You're going to fit in great here ^_^
WELCOME TO THE ESCAPIST........Don't go into the basement :p

Probably if there was an imminent threat to the freedom of the country and/or world. I'd rather die for freedom than live in an unbearably oppressive society.

EDIT: and my family, of course, but that's kind of a given, isn't it?

Now, i don't plan on dying for a cause. I seem to have a severe allergy to death.

But probably to protect me / a few of my friends. Thats bout it.

Also, if you die for the cause of protecting you and whomever, haven't you failed / done a shitty job? Since you are dead, you failed

I've thought about it and I've come to the conclusion that if anything was to happen to my friends/family/strangers, I would be prepared to die

Not sure if naive dreams about being a "hero" or if I'm prepared to die for the sake of others, but I've decided that's what I'll do
roughly this. i'd probably be hesitant to take that "guarantee" death for a stranger (such as bullet that'll probably hit them in the head or something) but name just about anyone in my immediate family or close friends and my body would do everything in its power to prevent their death before i even had a moment to think.

otherwise..it's really hard to say. lots of gray areas out there.

The rights and freedoms of future generations.

The present seems to be taking care of itself fairly well.

I would willingly sacrifice my life if it meant the overall betterment of mankind. Like, maybe I had some genetic quirk that made me immune to cancer, and I had to die for it to be studied. My body is ready, science!

the honor would go to pretty much the first cause to present itself, really. if i ever found myself in a position that required my involvement with bonus risk of death, i'd be straight up in that *****.
required being the key word here. for instance, if noone else was around, or the people who were around weren't willing to participate, i'd be sure to volunteer. however, if there were other people stepping forward, or no person would benefit from the endeavour, i'd leave it fate.

I would fight and die for my God, my family, and my personal ideals, of equality, truth (aka lack of corruption), freedom of choice (free speech, religion, expression of ideas etc.). I know that there are other things I would die for, but unfortunately I'm tired right now.

There's a lot of causes to die for, but few which are actually worthy of it.

why do we always say that we would die for something
personally I think it's a lot harder to kill somebody. I mean you have to live with that.
But if you die for something the rest doesn't matter because you will be dead

patriots often say they will die for there country but never speak of killing for it

to answer your question there is nothing I would die for but there are a few things I would kill for.
(if forced obviously)

Why die for a cause? You can pick up another 7 on the average street corner.

That said, I have nothing to live for. But I still think I could achieve more by staying alive. If I had been around quite some time ago I would have followed my Grandfather into the Spanish Civil War. These days though there is nothing worth fighting for.

There is no revolution, no matter how much we need one. But killing rarely solves anything. I am willing to get arrested for my cause (And have risked it in the past), willing to get beaten for my cause, willing to bleed for it. But dying would achieve nothing.
