    I would... but I have to be honest my country is up there but my family is number one. I would give my life to secure my children's future, no doubt!..The question is would you?
    On this memorial day, I want to say thanks to any service person who has been willing to die for something they believe in. The U. S. is a great country. War, might be mindless, and evil, but it has often been a necessary one..

    I think I would . . . but when the time actually came around, would we be strong enough to go through with it . . .

    Great topic.

    Up until about 6 months ago, I couldn't really fathom dying for an idea or belief. But in those last six months I've become fairly religiously active, and I can now safely say I would die for my religious beliefs. With this has actually become a rather curious selfless feeling about my life, which is equally surprising but very rewarding. I truly believe I could die for someone else...mostly anyone else...well, save a few of you (ZRB, COACH SAMPSON, Mango [​IMG]).

    I'm not looking for credit or praise or anything...just trying to answer the question as honestly as I can.

    heypardners moniker is going to die for some...thing he believes in.

    I would fight for family and friends that I care about.

    I wouldn't die for the ability of the commercial elite to force their products upon other cultures...

    but I'd die for a cold, frothy Stout right now.

    Oh yeah, and for my wife to approve a 3 way w/ Heidi Klum.

    Oh yeah, and for world peace and environmental sanctity (as long as I got famous for it).

    DUDE: They're nihilists.

    WALTER: Huh?

    DUDE: They kept saying they believe in nothing.

    WALTER: Nihilists! Jesus. Say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos.

    Not sure if it can be found in the US but if you can try Coopers Stout, made in my town and is one of the best in the world

    Yeah but would Heidi approve of the "NO NOISE" Rule

    slc, I think your laughter is inappropriate. Then again, I'm not sure you really got the joke. [​IMG]

    I would like to think I would....but until I'm put in a position where I have to do it, I'll remain optimistic.

    Here's another question: Are you afraid to die?

    I'm not.

    I'm just curious, how exactly do you die for your religious beliefs? I'm not sure what you mean by this statement.
