She is dying and yes if I was told that they could save her but it would kill me I would say go head and not think about it.

Men protect their women and children. It's one of your responsibilities.

I would die for him but better yet I would take those out that tried to harm him.

Nope. Now if you worded it, would you defend your family, wife ect. to the death, sure. But I don't consider that a sacrific, just doing your job.

Sacrifice is the wrong word.

A sacrifice is when you exchange a tangible value for an intangible one.

Since I believe my wife's life is of value, I'd be buying it with my own.

Hardly a sacrifice.

Wow this is a whole new look on GD... usually the general thesis in GD is that women exist only to make sammiches and pleasure us

You may want to look again at your definition of sacrifice. You're either defining sacrifice itself incorrectly, or you are defining tangible/intangible incorrectly. Tangibility has nothing to do with it.

If it was one of us or neither of us, yeah.

If there was a way out where we both live, I'm fucking fighting.

In a pico-second.

She's worth 100,000 of me.

Which seems like a bargain for what they get in return.

I don't see the problem...

Fuck no,, I'll use her as a sandbag.

You may want to look again at your definition of sacrifice. You're either defining sacrifice itself incorrectly, or you are defining tangible/intangible incorrectly. Tangibility has nothing to do with it.

A sacrificial offering involved surrendering something of great value as a propitiation (or appeasement.) Sacrificial offerings are an act of obedience to authority.

I suppose I could say that I'd trade my life for her's, but that would imply a degree of equivalence in value.

In general, I reject the use of the word "sacrifice" when used in situations that are clearly dealing with voluntary economic exchange. ("Children are a huge sacrifice." would be a good example.)

Roger that. And there was a time I would have given it for this country, BUT I am glad I did not have to like 58,000+ did. And now they are making some of our running shoes in Vietnam. Did you know that? And our government is negotiating to use a naval port there, I understand. Maybe Cam Rahn Bay? I'm not sure. What a world we live in.

If I had one, yeah. I'd sacrifice the life of whoever was making the deal first though. I ain't kneeling for nobody, waiting for the end.

her life is worth more than mine, and if she left she deserves more than half.

Posted: 9/15/2010 10:18:31 PM EDT

[#19]

Yes.

Posted: 9/15/2010 10:19:53 PM EDT

No, but I would fight to the death to save her.

Yes.

This.

Heck, I've even prayed that God would heal her and let me be sick (same with my kids) since I feel like I can deal with being hurt or sick better than they can, and I hate seeing them that way.

same here

I'm not married, but if I were, the answer would most certainly be yes.

Posted: 9/15/2010 10:47:30 PM EDT

[#24]

Without question.

You're a piss poor spouse if you wouldn't.

Posted: 9/15/2010 10:50:04 PM EDT

[#25]

For sure without thinking about it!

Posted: 9/15/2010 10:58:20 PM EDT

[#26]

No, but I'm married. Probably one of the reasons I likely never will be.

Posted: 9/15/2010 11:16:50 PM EDT

[#27]

Yes.

Posted: 9/15/2010 11:22:31 PM EDT

[#28]

No and I would get over it.

Posted: 9/15/2010 11:31:15 PM EDT

[#29]

not married, but yes i would.

although i'd prefer the alternative of being able to fight and we both survive.

however, if you're talking about the typical jump in front of a bullet, push her away from an oncoming car, that sort of thing my answer is a definite yes without any hesitation.

no question in a heart beat.

You, sir, are a man.

Posted: 9/16/2010 8:27:58 AM EDT

[#37]

Absolutely. She would be mad at me though.

Posted: 9/16/2010 8:30:19 AM EDT

[#38]

for my Dog, yes

wife. no way

Posted: 9/16/2010 8:38:42 AM EDT

[#39]

I tell her all the time that given an option I must die not her.

Nobody else would be so great with the 4 kids and I have a low tolerance for insanity (kids = insanity).

I would die protecting my wife and 4 kids. She's hot and could remarry. Me on the other hand I had a hard enough time convincing my now wife to marry me.

Nobody would want me with 4 kids

Posted: 9/16/2010 8:43:54 AM EDT

[#40]

Yup. I love my wife very much and I know that my kids would be better off with her as the only parent than me as an only parent.

This, I don't know if I could be a single father with 3 boys. But I would die trying to protect any of my family.

In a fucking heartbeat.
