Do you know anyone in your life who would kill or die on your behalf?

Once upon a time, without a doubt. Don’t know if he still would, but we’ve drifted apart. On the other hand, one or two others might’ve stepped into the role.

Where’s my pie? I am a man who needs pie!

I understand not wanting someone to commit murder on your behalf or in a jealous rage, but what’s your objections to the other possibilities?

Why not? Is life not sweet?

Hold on, I have to get this whipped cream on here. In the meantime, would you mind standing on that X for a minute?

The last thing I want is to look in the mirror every morning and know that I’m still here because someone I love is dead.

My dad would kill to protect me and probably kill if I gave him a good reason. He’s the sort of guy who would cop to a murder for me.

Both of my parents would kill to protect me on the spot, and die for me.

They are pretty friggin’ awesome.

My brother and I are close but he’s got kids and I don’t, so I’d rather he stayed alive and out of prison.

My oldest cousin would probably kill and die for me. He’s cool.

No one on this earth would. Ever.

Ah, I can see where for some those things might make a difference. They don’t in my case.

Goddess, I hope not! Except for military people, but they would be killing and dying for a far more general “me.” But for me specifically? Save yourself, bro. I don’t need saving.

I was just explaining to a friend about how the worship of Athena didn’t die out.

I think my mom would be very likely to. My sister might, depending how painful the death.

I have somebody who would kill to save me in a heartbeat, and who might also die to save me (maybe) which is cool and good to know as I’ve never thought about this question before. (You didn’t have an option to choose both, but I want the free food now, please.)

Yes to the first & sixth questions. My mother.

Wanna come sit by me? In my circle, I’m that one, also. But it’s nice to know that somebody would return the favor.

My husband and my best male friend would probably fight to protect me from an assault, but they would try not to kill the attacker.

My mom and dad and brother…nah. No help there. My female friends are hard core pacifists. So while they would help me, it would probably be more effective and less bloody then Skalds scenario.

My cats would kill for me. They have. Yup. Three blackbirds and counting, all dragged indoors and laid neatly at my feet by proud loving cats.

My other half would probably die for me. I’ve often said half-joking, half in admiration, that if we were starving he’d probably take the food out of his mouth to feed me. Gross, yes, but that’s how loyal he is.

And I’m sure he’d murder for me if he felt it necessary.

I love him very much.

Well I used to have someone, but they are currently unavailable. I am taking applications, just send me a PM between the hours of 10am and 2pm Tuesdays and Thursdays, pay based on experience, weapons proficiency, driving skills and criminal record. EOE

Two of my three dogs would kill someone that meant me harm. A friend of mine is a cop who trains dogs for his department. He came over with his bite suit and we tested my dogs. Two tried to kill him (one gave some nasty bruises through the suit). One of the three just wanted to cuddle.

About the smell in the basement. . .

:eek: It’s possible, too, since I rarely go into our basement! It’s one of those cellars that are accessed from outdoors, and it’s very cool and dark down there, with a couple of rooms out of sight. Plus the steps are really steep so it would be super easy to throw a body down there. I haven’t been in there since last summer.

That doesn’t mean I want to know, though. Lalalala it’s a beautiful day…

My parents would certainly kill to protect me from serious harm or death, and they’d probably die to save my own life. My sister would likely kill to save my life as well, but I hope she wouldn’t die towards that end; I wouldn’t want her to.

You got it.

We’ve never interacted before so far as I know, Becky, so RhymerRule something-or-other prevents me from going Fool of a Took! on you. But I will point out that multiple votes were allowed (I myself voted in three or four categories).

As for the free food, it is not my fault you have not purchased a personal teleport pad.

Um, there is no scenario, dude/dudette.

The reason I didn’t include cats & dogs as options is that they’re not people. Whether one believes them to be sapient or not, I don’t think either species has the intelligence to consider matters of morality.
