Would Your Sacrifice Your Life To Save The Planet?

[Sewblon]

Nah I would just go out and look for a new planet.

 

[Xan Krieger]

Nope, humanity just isn't worth saving.

 

[Captain Blackout]

IF i would get a statue.

Here's your statue.
*hands over a razzberry*
now get going

Sorry, I had to do it

Fuck you. You are all gonna die now. Ill get my own planet. With Blackjack, and Hookers... In fact forget the planet... and the blackjack...

Now I'm gonna get busted for using the 10 ways to Go Gonzo rules.....oh well, might as well go out the way I am.

That was funny as hell. It's been a looong time since I laughed after being told "Fuck You". Win for you.

Also, google Intergalactic Bank of Timbuktu. Ok, so they're not hookers, they're chicks LARPing as slaves, but otherwise we have your planet waiting for you. Enjoy

And the blackjack?

IBT prints their own currency, the Timbuck. We run blackjack tables from time to time.

So what is this thing?

I'll get the President to start a thread. Explaining it here would not be cool.

[John Stalvern]

I always thought the premise of that movie was flawed.

 

[Goldbling]

I would proudly die for my family, freinds, and the world. I'd first tell all the countries to get along or I'll come back and kill everyone myself

 

[RAWKSTAR]

Oh I would, There are people I love on the planet so I'd kind of feel like I had to.

 

[NeedAUserName]

But if you don't sacrifice yourself, you are still gonna die, along with the rest of the world. So you might as well, die, and be a hero.

 

[SimuLord]

Not a chance, never. One reason I've decided not to sire any children is because I wouldn't want to inflict this world (and especially the future of this country) on a future generation, so I'd have no dog in the fight. To hell with the whole lot of humanity.

 

[TriSarahTops]

to put it bluntly: right now, the world isn't worth saving...

besides i wouldn't get to enjoy the new world i saved anyway so whats the point, the worlds never done anything for me so why should i do it a favour

 

[Grand_Poohbah]

I'm pretty sure, but if and only if it was a fact that I would save it.

 

[Zephirius]

There's actually a meteor heading for earth that may hit Earth in 2036. It's not all that likely though.

i could have gone the rest of my 31 years without knowing this.

Math fail?

Ok, it seems people are doing it mainly because 'well, I'm dead either way'.

How about a twist on the OP, without wishing to hijack it...

Would you sacrifice yourself to save say, Europe, Australasia and the Americas?

If you had some miracle genetic strain and you were the only person who had the right makeup to defend against a new virus, but they had to kill you to harvest enough material to create the antivirus?

Turns out there's been outbreaks in America, France, and New Zealand, but they've locked down all international travel. So, the virus will spread slowly but uncontrollably unless you sacrifice yourself, but its some utopia where the government won't have you immediately carted off and killed.

I'd probably demand 24 hours of pure pleasure but then yes.

The object isn't to find some magic solution btw, its a simple would you die to save millions of people, even tho its a disaster that the human race could possibly come back from. Maybe once those continents had been scourged the human race could start to repopulate.

I'm already predicting a few 'well it'd probably be good for the world and humanity' posts already!

I'd do it if they signed a contract promising that as soon as the technology becomes available, they would use some remaining DNA to clone me, and let the cloned me become a normal member of society, so that I the identity can still live out my life, just not as I the person...Or is it the other way around? Meh.

 

[Silver]

I'd put up a lot of demands for people to behave better than they have been before, and if they didn't comply, then I'd let them die.

I'm not sure having every human life ever on my conscience would be negative or positive karma... Letting the earth and all animals and stuff die as well is probably negative though...

 

[Wanderer1911]

Funny question; there are a few loved ones that I would actually die for (like in front of a bus or something) but I have been waiting for a mass extinction/apocalypse scenario for quite a while now. I like the thought of being remembered in text books forever (or at least a few hundred years) but if it meant the end of all human life on this planet I might not sacrifice my self and just wait and watch. It would be even better if I had popcorn, lol.

 

[Inverse Skies]

This kind of reminds me of the question, 'if a war broke out would you volunteer to sign up?' except on a much larger scale.

To be honest... I don't know how I would act in such a situation. I don't think I can imagine the conflicting emotions and thoughts that would be running through my mind. Too hard a hypothetical question for me to answer I'm sorry.

 

[Roamin11]

No no I wouldnt, well I guess if world leaders would sway me by payig me money to which I give to my family and friends, so maybe if I can asure that my family and friends get taken care of.

 

[Raven's Nest]

Why not. You'll come back to life in the sequel anyway...

People will only complain that their sequel wasn't as good as the original. Eventually when the inevitable apocalypse happens again, the developers won't produce another...

And for that reason we should all try and save the world.
