Question:
Okay my professor was like, 20 years ago when she used to ask her students if they would take a bullet for a true friend, 90% of the students would say yes. However, NOW it is reversed and most people would say no.
I would like to know what your take on it is... would you guys take a bullet for a true friend? why or why not? What do you think is soooo different from 20 years ago (socially)?
Answer:
Probably wouldn't react to slow. LOL
People are raised in more defacto families. Thus the perspective is different from before and now. LOL
Answer:
Depends, would they do the same for me?
Answer:
i probably would because of reaction (not thinking too much about it)

Answer:
everybody is selfish now or maybe we actually put some thought in it.
Answer:
I will pull him/her away before the bullet hits him/her.
Answer:
I will pull him/her away before the bullet hits him/her.
lets be logical please... im sure if u were superman it would be possible.
Answer:
i've never had a true friend....
so at this stage.. NO.. i wouldnt...
if u think about.. would they take a bullet for u??
i would only take it for the one i truely love ^^
Answer:
see, it's easy for me to just say yes while i am at home in my pj's on the computer; but i dont know how i'd TRULY react in that kind of situation.
but i would like to say yes i would. :/ so confusing
Answer:
I like to say I would. But whether it was actually possible or not...that would be the thing that would haunt me.
A recent example would be
If one of my friends got into a fight as he has recently, I would probably try my best to get inbetween him and the other person. Not because the other person doesn't deserve to have their face punched in, but because I don't want my friend to get in trouble for it.
Sigh.
Answer:
I would. Her life is more precious than mine. It also hurts more to see a person suffering than being the one suffering.
Answer:
depends. if I felt like crap about myself that day i would do it.
but if i was feeling normal and knew i had something to live for, then no i would not take the bullet.
Selffish? In a way yes, but when you want to live on its usually not just for urself, but ur living for ur family and friends.
Answer:
No, fire sure, but bullets are so.... lethal
difference from 20 yrs ago is what i think is the changing society, ppl WANT to live longer such as WWI ppl signed up for the war in gusto.... now bush declares a war but there's not such an upset anymore of young ppl trying to go serve their country because they want to live long and fruitful lives. not reallie sure how to explain it tho
Answer:
how about considering a method to get ur friend out of such a scenario?
Answer:
Depends, would they do the same for me?
no no no.. . i still sacrifice my life for him even though he doesn't do the same for me..
that's what a true friend is, they don't have to make sure the other person will take a bullet or not
it's what christ did (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Answer:
society has changed so that now people are less concerned for the future generations.
thus selfish, thus less likely to take bullet.
^ both apply to me. but depends on how close the person is.
Answer:
If if was for a friend, not really..... because I doubt any of my friends atm would do the same for me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) . but if it was for a person I cared for/loved, then of couse (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Answer:
Yes I would take a bullet for a TRUE friend because if they were truly my friend they would do the same for me. Even if they wouldn't the fact that I valued them as a true friend is enough reason to die for them. But of course this friend would have to be really special and dear to me if I would be willing to perhaps get killed for them than if they were the one getting hit and I wouldn't bear to lose them. I wouldn't do the same for an acquintance but only someone who I can say is truly my friend. I don't take friendships lightly so this person must've really made an impact on my life for me to call them a friend.
I think nowadays less people think this because now they are far more selfish, they want to live long fruitful lives so would rather suffer the pain of a true friend dying then be the one to save that friend.
Answer:
I would take a bullet for my family members or my SO but NOT a friend (even if it's a true friend) because I can not love this true friend as much as my family members or my SO. Surely I would do things for my true friends within my ability. However giving my life for them is not one of those things. I have the obligation to myself and my family (especially mom) to not throw my life away carelessly.
