Would You Die For A Ideal?

Post by cronus » Wed Mar 19, 2014 8:02 am

I wouldn't but some might. What about you? Give your life for democracy? Some notion of freedom? World peace? :read:

No. I'd want to fuck my 72 virgins before dying, and then I'd have something to live for.

Possibly, but very unlikely. I'd have to have nothing to lose and a very good reason for believing my death would be guaranteed to have a much more significant effect than I otherwise could by being alive.

Maybe an ideal. But not a ideal.

My ideal is eternal life. Is it a paradox that I am not prepared to die for it?

As to the OP, well, maybe if...no.

I dunno about an ideal, but I'd give my right arm, to be ambidextrous.

That's what I like. All must die. To die for a ideal is to have a reason for dying. That is the best death. Unlike my own which is to die in a drunken stupor. :tup:
