To protect and serve my country and all its citizens. That's what I'd give my life for.
But for not-very-serious responses, I'd give my life if it meant the world was free of Facebook. My death shall not be in vain, sometimes one must be sacrificed to remove a great evil!
You shall not pass!

Obviously my sister or my father as they are the most important thing to me, and to quote Caiaphas as well as Spock and Kirk, the needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the few. I would give my life for a group of people, if my sacrifice could save them.
I don't think i would die for a person, maybe if i had i girlfreind or something that would change but apart from that. i don't see anything worth my life... exept maybe the de-shitification of the human race.
Truly a noble cause to give one's life for.Torque669 said:

"Worth killing for"

"Worth going to hell for"

"Amen"
Sorry, that just reminded me too much of Sin City.
Super On Topic: I would probably die for a family member. Or to be written down in the history books as "Tagball: Incredibly Attractive Babe Magnet Savior of the Universe".

I would "give my life" for nothing at all, it would just happen to be taken during a fight, should I ever get into one.
To save all of mankind. Or possibly to destroy the internet. Yeah that's right. Actually, now that I think about it, I'd give my life doing anything if it was awesome and large-scale enough.
Anything that could reasonably be described as a Blaze of Glory.

I long ago came to the conclusion that in the end nobody knows what they will actually sacrifice their life for until they are there (as unlikely as the occurance of ever finding something like this is).
The modern ideal of heroism is big on self sacrifice, and dying for something like love, or to save the world is a noble way to end a story without getting to sappy. A lot of people see the ideal and think they would do the same thing if there, but in the end it's like any other bit of armchair heroism.
Speaking for myself I've put some thought into these kinds of things, like say if some deranged casino patron who lost everything decided he wanted to open fire into the casino video arcade and kill a kid or two at random before taking his own life to make some bizzare point in his own mind.... hey, let's just say security is boring where nothing happens, you have nothing better to do than think about bizzare thoughts.
The end result is that for all my flaws I have a family that loves me and would miss me if I died, just like the kid if I took a bullet for them. Plus despite all of the idealized potential in youth, for all I know the kid is going to grow up to be a crack whore. In the end I am not likely to sacrifice myself to save *A* kid. However if you increase the number of lives saved by such an action, I think the odds of me being willing to do it would likewise increase. "Morality by the numbers" yet again. Of course unless something like that was to happen in front of me (bloody unlikely, especially now) we'll never know, for all I know at the time I'll sacrifice myself for one kid in the moment, or lose my nerve and say "okay, machine gun that entire daycare center, I'll be heading for the back door now... kk".
As many have said, you'll never know the true measure of a man until they are tested.
Also I'm broken enough where chances are I'd probably fail any serious test of heroic fiber of any sort, and I'm honest enough to admit it.

Why in the name of grody fuck would you give your life for an item that to use it requires you to have a life?Blindswordmaster said:
Also, I don't get the point of giving one's life for things like "family" or "freedom" and shit like that. My mortality might seem demonic to some, but seriously, I don't see much reason in doing that when I can't even enjoy any of it later.
For me to give my life for someone, I'd have to really love them a fucklot, and frankly, with my life journey, there isn't anyone in my family I'd consider to be one of those kind of people, and I haven't stumbled upon anyone else (yet) who fits the bill.
Freedom of thought and action, that is the only thing worth dying for...
PD: My GF just slapped me in the back... so, algo, I would die for my GF
