What cause would you die for?

[Longstreet]

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.

 

[Cheesepower5]

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!

 

[Akytalusia]

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.

 

[chiggerwood]

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.

 

[Frission]

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

 

[The Comedian]

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)

 

[Mr F.]

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.

 

[Meatspinner]

Oh this one is easy

Spoiler: For our lord and savior, of course

You carry his will as your torch, with it destroy the shadows.

 

[PromethianSpark]

Personally I don't like people talking about what they WOULD do. I think its futile, nobody really knows what they would do in any situation, let alone die for something or someone. On an other note, I think any ideals that are apparently worth dying for are just manipulative symbols, and I leave symbols to the symbol minded.

 

[Exius Xavarus]

I wouldn't die for any cause. There is no meaning in dying. Once you die, that's it. You're done.

If you want to do something meaningful, you need to live. As long as you're alive, there's always something you can do. Once you're dead, you aren't worth spit to any cause, anymore. Because there's absolutely nothing you can do.

 

[Jessta]

The only cause worth dieng for, a pretty lady

On a more serious note if I could absolutely make one cause come to pass by sacrificing my own life it would either be perfect unity between all nations regardless of religion, race or ancestry, it would be to absolish titles such as christian or muslim, American or Korean, German or Englishman and to make it so first and foremost everyone on earth was simply known as 'human' how such a thing could come to pass from a single death I have no idea although I do believe the internet is beginning to "unite all peoples within one nation" as team rocket would say

Another cause I would sacrifice myself for on a more personal level would be for the life of one of my five closest friends.

 

[SonOfVoorhees]

I would die for no one, but if it happened while protecting my family then fine. But the whole idea of sacrificing yourself is stupid. No one wants to die and will always hope they will survive whatever situation it is.

 

[knight steel]

I was listening to this song:
and was listening to the lyrics:

Spoiler

For every man there is a cause which he would proudly die for
Defend the right to have a place for which he can belong to
And every man will fight with his bare hands in desperation
And shed his blood to stem the flood to barricade invasion.
For every man there is a cause which he would proudly die for
Defend the right to have a place for which he can belong to
And if we go and fight, we face their hearts in desperation
and shed his blood to stem the flood of an impending invasion

When one line stuck out at me:For every man there is a cause which he would proudly die for.
So that's my question to you what's your cause you would proudly die for?
Mine is the protection of my family.

The truest, simplest, and possibly most cliched one for me would be, "I would die to uphold my ideals."

And what are your Ideals that you believe in strongly enough to sacrifice your life over?

 

[Pebkio]

If I knew that, I'd be out there dying for it right now. Ya savvy? And no, protecting the ones you care about isn't a cause. I'd, of course, die to protect them, but they don't exactly need protecting anyway.

...ya savvy?

 

[Bernzz]

For the one true king, the King in the North!

But seriously? I've never really thought about it. I don't know what cause I'd die for.

 

[mrblakemiller]

I'd die for Jesus, which means I'd die for anyone in the name of Jesus. If I'm doing my job, I'd get between anyone about to be killed unjustly (and that's a wide berth) and the one trying to kill them.

snip... the sequel

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

Thanks.

As the Joker would probably reply to that one: "Am I here to fit in with the machine, or supplement it? "

Thanks again... as for the basement: That ship sailed already! XD

 

[BlackStar42]

I'm struggling to think of one. As Pratchett put it, you only have the one life, but you can pick up another five causes on any street corner.

EDIT: Pesky ninjas!
