    That's strange, I don't think you've ever repped me before, so it shouldn't be saying that... :confused: It normally only says that if you try to rep the same person without repping other people. lol

    But yep, if someone tried to hurt my cat, I would die to protect him. Likewise, if I seen someone attempting to harm any animal for fun in my line of vision, I would put my life in danger if that's what it took to save it.

    Edit: Ooops, it seems that you have repped me before... sorry hehe :p

    An older man around here wrestled an alligator to save his dog from it.

    for my child, certainly i would, for anyone else i would have to think long and hard if im to be honest and the circumstances
    we do sometimes risk our lives helping others at times of need or danger, even without thinking in a spontaneous situation, and also thinking of the fire service, lifeboatmen etc who daily risk everything.

    it almost seems like some of these posters are just looking for a reason to give up their life.

    Yeah, it doesn't say "risk" it says "give up" and I am sorry... I love animals but there is no way I would give up my life for one. I might risk my life, but not give it up.

    By risking your life, your life has the potential to be given up. So it's pretty much the same thing. If you'd put yourself in a situation in which your death is a possible outcome, then you are willing to give up your life for them.

    @I'minmyunderwear: Whilst it is true that I feel I don't really have much of a life to lose, I feel sure I would still feel the same about this were that not the case.

    I recently pregnant for the first time and lost my son at four months and one week and if i gave my life up for him then I prolly would have, but then again i don't know. I mean, he was way too early, but still, he was still my son and i wish i could have gotten to know him.

    There are very few people, but yes there are a few people that I would give my life for. One being my wife/life partner the other being my dog. Don't know about the others yet.

    i'd say there's a pretty big difference between risking and giving up. death is a potential outcome of almost everything you do; some things just have a higher degree of risk than others. but even in high risk situations, i don't think most people really expect to die. they might be scared, but deep down, most people expect to get through danger and live on. on the other hand, giving up your life means that you are finished; you know for a fact that this is the last moment of your existence.

    my previous post was partially due to my disbelief that almost everybody here would gladly end it all for anybody else except maybe their own children. but i mostly don't buy this post:

    this is not about risking life, this is about giving it up. and not to save another life, just "for" someone else. so according to this post, if i asked the poster to kill herself she would do so without hesitation. or, if a hungry (not starving) cat showed up at her doorstep and she had no food, she would instantly shoot herself so it can eat her. or, even if we do take it as giving one's life to save another, this means that if she was at the top of the grand canyon and noticed a functioning bug zapper at the bottom, she would immediately jump down and crush it under her lifeless body.

    basically, this just seems like one of those topics where everybody just posts what they think makes them look good without thinking about what they're actually saying.

    Yes, I would give my life for somebody
    Perhaps someone one day I deem worthy enough to value this life more than I do, because I really don't value life all that much

    There might be a difference, but even so, by saying you would put yourself in a situation where your chance of being killed is drastically increased (as compared to if you chose not to put yourself in that situation) to save another, then technically, you are willing to give up your life for whomever is at risk. If you were not, you would not purposely put yourself in harm's way. The moment you knowingly step into a hazardous situation with the sole purpose of rescuing an animal or a person, you are willing to give up your life for them.

    Well, I did say there were exceptions where I would not give up my life for somebody, but generally speaking, I think I would. I do not have children, and indeed, am not physically able to have them either, so I cannot relate to that feeling. However, I do love my cat just as much as anyone could love their own child. Though yes, I do agree that most people who would say they would give up their life for absolutely anyone probably isn't being honest.

    Yes i would die for any of my friends or family. No worries. No karma. "To die would be an awfully big adventure" quote by someone. can't remember who, good tho i think it would be amazing to get off this shitty planet.
