| Have you you ever loved someone so much that you would endanger your own life to protect that person? |

I don't think you have to love someone to put yourself in danger for them. Personally, I'd take a bullet for almost anyone be it the pope or just an aquaintance. However I do consider myself a deathseeker, so that might have something to do with my take on the matter.

Well gothneko, if your parents or someone else you love was in fatal danger, you might surprise yourself and be brave. sure, it doesnt happen with everyone, but a lot of times if someone is in danger, we get an adrenaline rush and all our inhibitions are pushed aside immediately. I kind of agree with stoney, I think I'd risk my life not only to protect those I love, but others too. If I had such an opportunity and I let it slip by because I was cowardly, I'd hate myself for the rest of my life that I let someone die when I didn't do anything at all. In fact, this is really the way that I hope to die someday. I hope I could save someone's life by sacrificing my own as my last act in this life. Not to be remembered, because of course people like that are forgotten soon enough, but to have made a difference. I know that I wont care about that once I'm dead XD but I really think that it is the most honorable thing I could do with my life. If I'm ever put in that situation, I hope my nerves don't fail me and I'm able to protect them. Well.. once my friend Tia was drowning at a waterpark, and I dived in to save her.. and she was so panicked, when she grabedd on to me, she was like climbing me! and my head was getting pushed underwater so she was basically drowning me while im trying to save her.. -.- anyway.. i was just like "aw ..f***" and well I just decide to gasp one big breath of air, then while i had her clung to me I dove underwater and swam to the shallow part with her as fast and as best that I could. XD fyi.. im not that great of a swimmer -__-; but i manage to get us both out alive lol i know that wasnt an intense scenario, because there woulda probably been some lifeguard to see her drowning soon enough but, at the time i thought she was really gonna drown us both lol >.> |

Anytime, anywhere, any place. For those whom I even remotely care about ~ not just the people I love ~ |

Sure, people can brag all they want. But most wouldn't do a thing to help a stranger.
If each mistake being made is a new one, then progress is being made.

I dont think its bragging; if you couldnt do it, why exaggerate something so serious? I, too, would probably reach out to save anothers life, but it depends on the situation. I mean, if Im in danger, but I can help that person, then Id do my best to TRY, let alone get there. (Thats if we were both going to make it.) If I was going to die in the process of trying to save someone that obviously couldnt be saved, then no, I wouldnt. But if I was in danger, and I could save their life, even if I was going to die in exchange, yes, I would consider it. However, you also have to realise that one life for another isnt equal. Why kill yourself for someone who was going to die anyway? And what if that person feels guilty for the rest of their life because they were in such a situation, and having vexed you into it as well? Other things come into it, too. Who would be of more help to others later on? If I had the time, Id think about it. I mean, I wouldnt be so selfish as to let that person die, no. Well... look... if that person is a loved one, but they are abusive, and of menace to society, then no. If one of us were going to die, I would most likely let that person die. Now, to some, that can seem extremely selfish. But others might think it was quite in order that someone like that die. I would much rather prevent more lives being ended,or scarred, than letting it go and having me die in their place. Of course~, if I was a horrible person, I think others would consider that, too. Why let me live if Im not going to allow others not in this situation the same chance? Sorry for such a long post. If you read all my other posts, I dont think one of them is anywhere near short... ^^|

I agree with Sam, I'm the same way. As horrible as people can be, every person has the same worth. I'm surely not someone to judge another person's worth. I've come to the realization, since I was about eleven years old, I'm really going to die some day, and that will be it. What's something I've realized within the past few years is that I want to die living the way I wanted to and I hope I die of something at least worth noting once I'm gone by someone. Even if I don't, and I die because of a stupid choice I made, I don't care. But you only get one shot at life, to make some impact on someone, to be the way you want to be, and I would hope the way I live would maybe make a difference to at least one person before then. A positive one, of course, but I'm sure I can't be liked by everyone. I want to spend my life doing something in some way to help people, if it be a friend or a stranger, I don't care. I just want to be there for someone when they need someone there for them the most. I don't want to be the person to let someone down when they need me.  No one can see inside of your T i r e l e s s M i n d . |

I don't mean to sound like an ass, but I doubt I'd risk my life for anyone else. As of now, self preservation is at the top of my list, and I don't plan on losing my life for anyone else. Once you're gone, you're gone. I don't really think anyone would be very happy with me throwing away my life for them, and neither would I. |

I risk my life every time I think. I believe 1thing and my mom was raised cath-o-lick(you do the math, what a bit*h at times). But I swore on my soul when I died once that I eould protect the ppl I cared for at ANY AND ALL COSTS!, I'm even I REAL chivalier, so that should already give my answer. But if I had a choice I probly still risk it, because I'm just that fuc*ing stupid that idfc what happens to me, as long as it's for the ones I love, and care the MOST about. HELL it would only be the 3rd time I died.!! 
darkness is the vail that holds the truth. open your eyes and let the true world be seen, if you dare think you can handle it. i am the darkness within your heart. i know what you fear, and what you really are.

I'd probably do it for anybody without even realizing it until after the fact...  |

I'm sure everybody says the same thing, yes yes yes. I think your instincts at the specific situation, would best explain everything. My answer, it really depends, I can't say for sure. Plus I don't really love anyone (GF) right now, so that doesn't help, lol.

A man takes a bullet for a woman - yes A woman takes a bullet for a man - omg, what on earth is the guy thinking? I believe man being created taller, and stronger for a women to stand behind man, so the man can protect her, not as for man to look at women as inferior being... |

If you are someone i barely know and you put yourself in that situation of being killed, ill let w/e happen to you happen. If you are an enemy and something like that happens, maybe. A friend or family member? No doubt i would.  Part of the new age Gendou RP veterans: Kira, Rukia, KM Revolution, Smoker, Avian, L, and Ryu. |

I don't know such thing as "love" so I have never done anything such. Anyway, I suppose it is one of the human basics to protect anyone they know, right? I'd rather throw my life away if it's necessary to safe a person dying in agony, anyone I know will do. Things in this world will be rather beautiful if men just acts according to their ideals.  |

It's not as beautiful as everyone seems to think it is. Watching Supernatural made me realize that if you truly love someone so much that you're willing to give your life for them, chances are that they feel the same way about you. And if you do sacrifice your life for them, it would kill them just as thoroughly as if you hadn't sacrificed yourself in the first place. It's a no-win situation. The pain of loss will be reciprocated no matter who sacrifices their lives. Of course, in the large scale of things, this might not be as true, but on a personal level? Yes. |

| Probably not. Too much of a coward really to do that. But if pigs can fly, I will. I'd prefer to find ways so no sacrificing will be done, though. |

No. Never. My life > your life. Either way, someone will suffer guilt/sadness. I'd rather make it me since I'm far to used to it. Also, I tend not to get too attached to anything, making it that much easier for me to move on. Though, I'd rather find a solution where we all live happily ever after.

| I've endangered my own life for more trivial reasons. But I believe in giving of myself to help those I care about. But giving all so that they may live on is just stupid. Noone ends up happy so you have to fight to survive for the sake of those you care about. Faced with oblivion I'll be standing right beside them with a smile on my face and the resolve to ensure we all make it out. |

I'll risk my life for that someone I love... only if it's the last resort. As much as possible, I would look for a way for both of us to live... for practicality purposes.  |
