Frankie Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 i watched the movie 2 times last night... Armageddon.. If something was about to destroy all life on this planet as we know it... Would YOU stay behind and press the button? And if so... why? if not.. Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaiyanPrincessX Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 To save all life on earth...yes, of course! Either way I'd be a gonner anyway. Over a billion people saved for one life taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathKnight Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 [color=crimson]Yes. It would be a fantastic way to die, eh? Instead of slowly succumbing to death, to die in a fantastic way that saves billions of people- And you become a legend. I would love to do that.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegeta rocker Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 Well i think i would, though i can only hope i wouldn't chicken out under pressure. But i see it as gaining major brownie points with the big guy upstairs. If i had people i loved on the earth i would do it, if i don't what will i have? The earth will be gone and i would be stranded on a rock headed for earth. But if you want to know if i would volunteer, well i have nothing to lose. In the case of bruce willis, he wanted his daughter to have her boyfriend because he promised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Vercetti Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 I would do it to save the earth as you could be remembered as a brave hero when you die and that would be really special and everyone would thank you even though they couldnt thank you in person.

Frankie Posted January 13, 2003 Author Share Posted January 13, 2003 Well i myself would jump right up for the job... seeing how mainly i got nothing to live for...... So... why not myself save earth....so everyone WHO DOES have soemthign to live for...can live FOR it... im confuseing? If i am.... thats just me i am great at becomeing confuseing But in al reality i have no life.... anyways.... so i would press the button..... Heck i think i would be like hound "I say we all stay and die...but thats me" "I was jsut haveign some fun before i die...I had a great spot picked out there..were saying were going were saying were going make up your mind" Hahah I would be the one who WANTS to do it but then again he did own that loan shark alllot so i can see why he would want to die on the astroid...

Tasrai Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 [COLOR=green]I would diffinently DO it, I would stay behind and press the button even if I was only saving only a few people. I am not scared to die, because we will all die someday. It's not when we die, it's how we die that matters. And I for one would rather die right now saving even one person's life, than think back when I'm in my bed dieing of old age, to the day I had the chance to save a person's life and regret not doing it. That is how I feel and that is how I would act, so I say again I would stay behind and press the button even though I would die...[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cowboybebop Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 [COLOR=seagreen][FONT=century gothic]To save the population of the wntire earth? Of course I would![/FONT] [/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShinje Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 [size=1] [font=century gothic] [color=crimson] I would do it. If it came down to saving the entire earth, then yes. Like SaiyanPrincess X said, either way, I'm a gonner. No use dying with billions of people doing the same thing (screaming and running away, even though that does absolute jack ....) When I could be a martyr for the entire earth civilization, and be remembered forever. Yeah, Gimme that big button. I will even steal it from the guy who draws the short straw too :p [/size] [/font][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie Posted January 13, 2003 Author Share Posted January 13, 2003 no kidding Plus yeah.. if i had a daughter or son and they got the short straw... NO KIDDING i would pull the air tube throw them back in the elevator thing tell them to have a good life with their fience and and sit in the armadillow for a while... Bleh.. i would do it as i said... i got nohting to live for... i mean this world is populated with billions of people Familys.. Friends next door or down the street married couples newly weds or people jsut starting to date.. Seeing how i see non of that in my future..i would rather give my life... so everyone else .... could have that kind of future... *starts thinking of old song* "If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life.. never make a pretty woman your wife... from my personaly point of view get an ugly girl to merry you"(not exact words ... im not sure) Pfft like that will ever happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sui Generis Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 Idealy yes. In my mind I'd say yes everytime. But you really can't answer this question. You don't know how you will act. Who you have to lose. Too many different situations. And you don't know how you'll act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie Posted January 13, 2003 Author Share Posted January 13, 2003 i know how i would act... id get all as depressed and finaly go "Well.... to heck with it.... what do i have to live for *dead silence* Thats right... so wheres the stupid button" .......... I just predict how i would act... if someone told me the world was gonna be destroyed cause of an astroid first i might hyperventalate... think... "Well i got a few net friends ... and they are happy couples...hmmmm ok.... ill do what ever you need me to do... ill try to save the world for them.... they the only friends i got... all....13 of them" 13!!!!! i actualy counted all my net friends today i had writen them down i na book....sheeeeshhh... 13... .well 12... i lost one a while ago... wait... and another one after that so its down to 11 Ah... 11 is fine .. Heh i got non in real life though... my home town...group..= population.... Me.. so i would go up save the planet and maybe JUST MAYBE the kids here at school would remember me or recognise me againn *sigh* dare to dream..

The Vampire: Ed Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 Where's the Earth right now, huh? I don't see it scrathing my back. It's NOT a small world! It's a big cruel, and painful world. If I walked down the street at night, I'd get shot in the face. Why am I gonna blow my ears out of my *** to save some people like that? Screw the world. I'll stare at that button, I'll shine that button, but I won't be the one pressing that button. I'll be sitting back at home eating BK out of a styrofome container spraying hair spray in the sky. All you people wanna be heros, I just wanna sit on my *** and watch the world end. I'll go to hell a happy man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Hell yea I would do it. Not only do I have no life here, but there are two more important reasons. 1. that is the be all and end all of ways to become history book worthy. 2. and most important to me, My family. If I didnt stay behind to do what no one else would, then my family, friends, loved ones would all perish. I wouldnt allow that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raquel Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 I would... Just because life is pointless enough... Why make my bad day yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinetic Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 [color=darkblue] Yes, I have thought about that before and I would. Either that, or I could just go insane and wait for the meteor to crash into Earth and let myself burn up going through the atmosphere, thinking about the endless people I have just sent to their death.

Frankie Posted January 14, 2003 Author Share Posted January 14, 2003 Hahhaha And think..... NEVER take a convicted criminal who was sentanced to death.. On an astroid.... cause they wouldent press the button i have no idea... why i said that... it jsut came into my mind when i was thinking up this thread... I mean... sure sending up to an astroid would be punishment enough... but burning up in the atmostphere... Sheeeeshh.. i must have a strange mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hikaru Ichijyo Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 I have to stick out like a sore thumb on this one, and say screw the earth. I genuinely don't think their are enough decent, morale human beings left on this planet worth saving nor giving up my life for. I'd probably even take the guy out that decides to go on the rescue mission to make sure the earth got what it deserved. V_V Hmm my faith in society basically is at it's lowest right now.

Bing Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 [size=1][color=darkblue]I would do it, as long as it wasn't a big complicated button though, because I would do it wrong ^_^;;;In hte end, we all die sometime right? Why not die as a hero and go down in history as 'the man who saved the world'. I would love the oppurtunity.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genkai Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Wouldn't I die anyway? I mean, I'd save all these people, I guess. That's what everyone else said.. What would pushing a button do? Destroy the threat while killing me at the same time? Duh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transtic Nerve Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Hmm let me think.... I let an asteroid come and destroy the earth and all mankind, or I sacrafic one life to save the millions.... I don't think there's a choice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiroMunkie Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Kinetic[/i] [B][color=darkblue]Either that, or I could just go insane and wait for the meteor to crash into Earth and let myself burn up going through the atmosphere, thinking about the endless people I have just sent to their death.[/color][/B][/QUOTE][size=1]Heh, that made me laugh rather fiendishly. Honestly, it would depend on the mood I am in. It takes a lot to freak me out (and I am talking [i]a [b]lot[/b][/i]), so chances are I would be rather calm. Though, it could be a calm happiness, or a calm depression. If I was happy, sure, why not save the world? If I was depressed, I would not have stayed behind, or I would do such as Kinetic so eloquently described above. Yup... it all depends on how I would be feeling at the time. The fate of the world would rest on my mood, lol.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 If I had time enough to work my mind thorugh to a logical conclusion, I'd like to hope that I would. But unless I felt moved by God to do it, that time could be quite a while. -Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Rick Hunter [/i] [B]I have to stick out like a sore thumb on this one, and say screw the earth.

Those opinions about Earth are cool and all, but I don't think your short self would be able to reach the button anyway, lol. :toothy: As for me, I guess that I would be inclined to press the button. If I didn't, I wouldn't have a place to go back to anyway; I would just rot in space. So, I couldn't think of a greater way to give my life meaning than to sacrifice it for a greater cause. Most people will live full lives and never accomplish something so meaningful and important. Sure, it's easy enough to rant about the bad things on earth, but there's plenty of good to go around.
