Poll: What makes you worth saving?

[Blindswordmaster]

Huh.

Well, like I said before. Little bit hypocritical on your part to say humanity should stand together, but if you want to save yourself, you don't deserve to stand with us.

Anyway, on to your finer points before I head home.

As nothing more than little humans, sometimes all we can do is run. Perhaps we can save the world, and all that inhabit it. Perhaps the world does have the supplies to sustain us all, and keep us all safe. And perhaps, humanity will never have to choose the needs of the many or the needs of the few. Perhaps. Perhaps not.

I am more than willing to help people, but I felt this was just a light discussion on what makes you special, or to use my example in this thread "What makes you better than a tree?" I am by no means damning most of humanity, (which was what I was trying to avoid, by the way) I just am curious as to what people think of themselves in a simple situation.

I am sorry to say this, but it sounds as if your a little bit overtly zealous to save everyone. As someone made a point of saying earlier, what if they don't want to be saved? What if they would rather die? Sometimes, people don't want your help, they want their own choice, and they choose to be self destructive sometimes.

I turned my back on no one, sir, and I am a little offended that you felt I was doing so in this thread. Actually, I'm kind of confused what made you take this so seriously. However, I have a home to return to, and they are expecting me.

Well it seems that I've missed the point again. Dammit. I'm sorry if I've fucked up your post, I really didn't mean to. I wasn't arguing against you, I just rejected your hypothetical situation. I've always done that, when given options A, B, and C I always choose D. I guess that's what makes me special, my head is so far up my ass that I'm choking on my own colon. Again I would like to make an apology.

P.S. If you want to know what makes us special just ask that. You don't really don't have to employ the circle jerk.

Pah, I'm expendable.
Not worth saving. Others must be saved.
I exist to serve, so I should not be saved.

Are you a servitor?
Hmm...The Astartes has started earlier than scheduled.

I've heard a lot of middle aged men saying they'd give anything for a wife who can cook good & doesn't nag or spend all his money. I'm that woman. I'm also the friend who doesn't give cheap sucky presents.

Spoiler: Here to see whats happened

Huh

No harm done. I enjoy little things like that. And besides, when I ask questions, I can never phrase them correctly, but my mind is excellent at making something very similar. So thats what I go with. Once again, it was no problem.

You sir, thought exactly what I was thinking.

I've heard a lot of middle aged men saying they'd give anything for a wife who can cook good & doesn't nag or spend all his money. I'm that woman. I'm also the friend who doesn't give cheap sucky presents.

Someone who actually knows how to give an excellent present? You are on!

Unfortunately i have very little outstanding qualities. Im only really good for saving someone else. and now im depressed...

Well then, perhaps you will be saved by a pity rescue, eh?

I'm not worth saving, in worst case scenario I'm going to off myself before hand. Best case scenario, I'm a lone wolf, I don't likes other people, and I talk to myself, chances are I'd go off on my own, if it was a "natural disaster/post apocalyptia thing".

Perhaps you will be saved even when you are alone. Everyone needs an independent party once in a while.

With those kind of qualifiers, I'm not sure why we would pass you up! We can take a picture of a nearly naked chick, and always have it anyway!

I'm awesomeness in its purest form, they would have to save me if science were to get started rebuilding the human race. In the year 2424 the Earth is destroyed, in the year 2422 the Earth was saved by a time traveling Englishman by the name of L. Oswald Livingston (L.O.L.) and his comrade in arms Roff L. Kopter, together they saved humanity from total extinction using the source of all awesomeness. Using a man known only as the Laz0r Mining Activity Officer (L.M.A.O.) they manage to unite Earth's special forces to save mankind before it parishes in the hellish cataclysm of 2424. Sorry, was listening to the Mass Effect 2 sound track when I saw this, but there you have it, the reason to save me

 

[Iron Criterion]

I honestly don't know and that worries me.

I despise my fellow man and everything we stand for. I am genuinly uncaring and prefer to be alone.

My only redeeming feature is my awesome guitar skills and singing ability but metal bands are ten-a-penny so yeah.

Well to be honest if the world was coming to an end famous people (I'm not just talking about celebrities or anything - people known worldwide for making contributions to society) would be the ones to be saved. They are the ones who have proved to everyone that they will make worthy additions in the future, so if they are short of space they'll only really have enough for them. I'm just a chemical biology student, so even if I was meant to have some purpose in the future, I don't think I'd be saved for skills and atributes that haven't done anything important yet.

On a side note, I can hope some people I know will be saved, and that they will remember me: I'm the one everyone goes to with their problems, since I'm logical but am good with emotional things as well. I'm hoping if this happens people will miss their good friend .
