    I have moved A lot since Kindergarten until now, just finishing High School. I dont seem to have the ability to make friends, I have tried, but I can never seem to make any good friends.

    So since I have no friends, I cant really answer that question. But, If I was to somehow make some friends, then no, I would not Die for them.


    I would not die for Strangers, if there is a chance I can save them without a risk to myself, then I would save them. But otherwise, no, I will never lay my life on the line for anyone.





    Litha Riddle, FireFighters do risk their life's everytime they go into a burning building. The building could callapse on them at anytime or they can soffecate.

    Most aspects of rescuing in disasters are controlled, but there are never any gurentees.

    Hmmm....well thats a tough question.

    Personally, I might die for my best friend. Dying for him wouldnt be my first choice, if I could, I would do everythign in my power to prevent it from having to happen. Also, If I could, I would try to save myself and him, but in the end, if it came down to it, yeah, I think I would die for him

    On the same token, if it was my parents, or pretty much anyone in my family, I would die for them.

    SilverLord, I agree with you that I wouldnt die for some random person, and I really dont know many people who would. While we would all like to pretend that we're all that altruistic, its not true. There are very few people who would just willingly give their life for another. People like firefighters, cops, and individuals in the military do risk their life, which is why i have the greatest respect for them

    This is definetly one of those complicated questions in life. One that no one can really answer till they've been in a position where they had a second to make the choice.

    I have lots of friends, but I'm not popular, just easy to befriend. I would probably not die for them.

    The human psyche is too complicated to predict. I could possibly freeze or panic in a desperate situation. Adding torture in the equation complicates things even more. And don't get me started with stress, as it could shot common sense to hell.

    well, i dont know if i would die for my best friends, but i know for sure that i would help them...if i can. My best friend had a fight last week and lets just say that i hurt when i and another friend got him out of there. Right now i got a broken arm and a blue eye, but it was woth it. on cannot compare this with a life or death situation but for my best friends and my family i would do everything....i think.

    That's an easy question. :) No.

    Friends come and go...I moved constantly when I was little, immigrated to Canada when I was in primary school, came back to Asia, changed schools every year because the quality doesn't quite sit with me...

    I used to have a few best friends from Canada, but we lost touch. Now I'm stuck with retarded bitches I hate but thought they might be good allies...

    I'm also a bit anti-social and I always try to save myself whatever the situation without even being aware for it.

    As it is, I have a knack for survival.

    My family...even if it is after a bit of deliberation and hesitation, I would still say I would choose myself over them. Selfish, aye?
     
  8. Tricky question... In all honesty I have to admit I'm such a coward that I'd probably attempt to flee the scene and get gunned down anyway...I really don't know. I DO know, however, that if I did choose to let my friend die, I'd be insane with guilt within a day and would either slit my wrists or go on a suicide mission to take out the person who did the killing...I don't handle guilt well at all... If it were a case of my friend and I hanging off a cliff and only one of us being able to be pulled to safety, I know I'd let myself die, but if it were a "jump in front of the bullet" case I'm certain I wouldn't be able to conciously throw myself in front of the bullet-- if I did, it would be pure instinct... If it were a case of either revealing your friend's location or being tortured to death and/or insanity... I'd let myself be tortured and then find a way to kill myself... If I ever chose my life over somebody elses, I know I'd be ridden with guilt until I either had killed their killer or blasted my brains out... Family is different... This whole thing depends so much on circumstance!

    Hmm, tricky question indeed. If it was the whole Pettigrew situation, I'd probably do something explosive that would get me killed but kill some of them as well, afterall, I don't wanna be remembered as some nobody who begged for death.

    If it was a Jump-in-front-of-bullet Situation I probably wouldn't. Direct betrayal I can handle but if he died in front of me, give me a few months and I'd convince myself that I could do nothing and it wasn't my fault.

    'its better to die on your feet than live on your knees'. There are about 15 people on this earth id die for. My family, My 4 best friends and my boyfriend. And the reason id do this is quite simple because I love all of them and id rather die than live with the guilt id feel. In my opinion Pettigrew is worse than Voldemort. Id rather see the person killing me than be stabbed in the back.

    I wouldn't die for my best friend. I'd try my utmost to help him, but I wouldn't die for him. The only person I'd die for is my daughter, because she is the only person worth my death. Anyone else simply isn't worth leaving her without a mother.

    Now that you've mentioned it, if it was a Wormtail situation - I don't know about a either-you-or-him one -, I'd probably die for them too. Otherwise, I'd go insane with guilt, and attempt suicide anyways. Or live as a madwoman, because with my imagination I'd probably see these imaginary ghosts haunting me for the rest of my life, seeking revenge...

    Ahem. But if it's a jump-in-front-of-bullet situation, hell no.

    I doubt I would die to save my best friend, but I would do all within my power to save him short of getting myself killed. If I knew I was going to die too, I might. Perhaps in the whole jump on the grenade scenario.
     
  17. Completely dropping the whole dying for your best friend here. Another retarded, pointless, emo,gay ass cliche is when Harry's doesn't want to kill any one, or only uses stunners and friggin first year spells to fight DEs. i mean he killed Quirrel first year, and didn't have a proplem. but seriously fight DEs with tickling charms is retarded. bring on the decapitation hexes and acid spewing charms.

    In that thing you call a closet. Better watch out,
    Retard. Don't post useless shit in here like that. The topic is "Would you die to save your best friend?" not "HP Cliche rant " don't ignore topics completely and post retarded stuff like that. It pisses quite a few people off, and might get you banned.

    I think i would probably betray them. If it was a conscious decision then yes, definatly. My reasons for that are mostly -

    1. I don't really care about anyone.
    2. I don't have any friends.
    3. I might get the opportunity to AK moldy Voldy whilst he cackles maddly about the new info.


    And i also don't really trust anyone. Not to say that i care whether they (friends) would do the same thing in my situation, because ultimately it doesn't matter. But really, i think most people would pick to die, simply out of selfishness not courage. It's just that they dont want to have to feel guilty.
