Well, would you?
And when you vote, could you please say where you're from. I want an idea of which country's people would be more likely to do so.
Personally, I'm British, and no, I wouldn't.

New Zealand, no.

The one we have now? He'd be lucky if I warned him...(nah, I'm not a dick and he's still a human being and the VP is a troll, so I'd warn him...)

Ha. No. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Should I be drafted, I'd go to jail before going to war. That situation isn't even a guarantee that I'd die, and my national leader is in no danger whatsoever. Frankly, he should be drafted. Good ol' "War Pigs."

Edit: USA

Are you kidding? I wanna kill him myself...

No, I wouldn't.

Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism - how passionately I hate them!
Albert Einstein

Israel, and hell no.

I'm British, and in a word, no, not just because I'm ant-Blair (hell I'm ant the lot of them).

I'd only willingly sacrifice my life to protect someone I love.

HELL NO, but I'd sacrifice a leader to save my own.

No need to. Just tell them the minute your in, you're starting your own bukkake cocksucking club. Then you're out again before you knew what happened.
At least that's my plan.

UK as well, so no chance in hell. Even if Northern Ireland reunites with Ireland, that leaves me with Bertie Ahern - so, no again! Oh, and Eichen, you took the word's right out of my mouth ;)

Die for Tony?
ha
no I mean seriously what has Tony Blair contributed that makes any persons life forfiet?

Too many people have died for old tony for my liking

BWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Wha? Seriously?

Heck no :p

Holland, and NO FRIGGIN WAY! Not for this loser of a prime-minister

After what I said, you're wink makes me feel kinda funny.

United States, and effing hell no.

Especially considering they're only in power, legally, for 8 years, the only presidents I'd even consider risking my life for are long dead, and even then it's largely due to them supposedly being family (and being actually non-evil, from what I'm aware).

I'd use someone as worthless as Bush as a meat shield to protect a box full of kittens far sooner than I'd risk so much as a flesh wound for him.

Die for Tony Blair?! I wouldn't die for any leader, let alone him.

As I said, I wanna kill him myself. But still, he's better than the conservative party... they have less popularity now than the Lib Dems! :D

Yes, I would, but only because of my training and background, and because I've already lived most of my life and this would be a final act of service to my Country, the USA.

Besides, I believe in reincarnation and am going to come back as a fabulously wealthy rock star! :D

What if Kerry was president? ;)

What if Kerry was president? ;)

Um ... Heh! :rolleyes:

only if there are 72 virgins in it for me.

Then again, imagine all the constant bitching and whining. Nevermind.

Um ... Heh! :rolleyes:

Quite the ethical delimma, huh? :smileyfacewithanunderlyingseriousness:

Christ, I hadn't read your second post! LOL.

With my luck it would be 72 dudes.

Quite the ethical delimma, huh? :smileyfacewithanunderlyingseriousness:
No shit! LOL!

I would, but only under protest! ;)

Finland.

Well, like the soldier's oath says, "I will defend the inviolability of my fatherland, its legal social order and the legal government" (or something like that, crappy translation).
Of course, sacrifice is a pretty harsh word... Fight for our way of life etc., yes, sacrifice my life for the president, hell no.

For my family and loved ones, I would sacrifice my life.

For a national leader, in my instance Blair, no.

He is a shrivelled up retracted scrotum and has the intergrity and honour of one.


That is to say, none at all.

UK

UK. never - PM or Queen.

I'm a dual-citizen; US and Germany. It's no for either.

Holland, and NO FRIGGIN WAY! Not for this loser of a prime-minister


How about your Queen?

Holland, and NO FRIGGIN WAY! Not for this loser of a prime-ministerHow about your Queen?I speak for Britain (well, for me, but in relation to the British setup, juxtaposed against the Dutch setup I'm replying to) and I echo the "not for Blair" comments but I think I would, given the right circumstances, for the Queen. It'd be a "for Queen and Country" situation, not necessarily for her as a person.

I don't know if this is because I count myself as more Royalist than Republican (marginally), or because "We can always get a new PM, monarchs don't grow on tress" (save for family trees... :)) or just because.

If I didn't have time to think about it I could go either way [FX: slow-motion dive in front of PM at split-second's thought, while in a parallel universe I stand dumbfounded as the gunman rushes past me and attacks Her Majesty] and I can't really say what circumstances might get me into either those or a long-decision situation... I'm not military (and not planning to be) so it'd take a shake-up to include any sort of situation where I'm in HM Armed Forces.

USA, but it doesnt matter what country i'd be in. my life is not as important as the welfare of an entire country. i guess thats just coming from the marine in me

I'm one of the people that said it depends on the circumstances. Not simple for protection of his life. If him living somehow protected something of higher moral value or if it was also a means of protecting my family perhaps.

Would I die for good old George? No, in fact he'd be doing more of a service for the country by sacrificing himself to save me. In any case I'm from the US of A(if you hadn't guessed already).

This guy in office in Washington right now? You're kidding, right?

I mean, maybe if someone was in office who actually was those really odd things people frown upon in American politics, example, COMPETENT, maybe ETHICAL... I'm not about to vindicate the illusion of the infallibility of the President, or of the Union.

Even then there'd be some predicate questions - I'm not disposing of this life unless there's something to be gotten after it, for example...

As the situation stands now, though, not a chance.

Yes, I would. Regardless of who was president of the U.S. I would sacrifce my life for many people, people in my family, people i know, hell, many I don't know. There are some I would not, but i think it is the ultimate act of love.

No.

Ah Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha! ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha... oh, thats classic! Ha ha ha! ah ha ha! (If you want my full response, pleas copy and paste the previous section about a hundred times.)

I'm in the US.

No.

But after I become a Thai citizen, I'd die for Thailand's PM.

Simply put I wouldn't. None of the leaders of any of the parties. They are good people but I wouldn't end my life just so they could continue to live their's.

Too many people have died for old tony for my liking


nuff said

The current U.S. president, no.

In fact, I were in a job where it were my duty to have to do so, I would have to quite the job on the basis that I would not be willing to perform a required duty.

I'm from the US, and for Bush, not a chance. For Clinton I may have, and even for most other Presidents maybe. I voted depending on the circumstances. I suppose there's a chance that there could be some twisted situation where I would, even for Bush.

Do you mean sacrifice your life to protect their life? Or do you mean sacrifice your life because they asked you to?

If you mean sacrifice my life to save theirs, the U.S president, yes I would. The leader of China or Canada? No (Chinese background, dual American-Canadian citizenship). Now Canada... if Harper had been elected PM instead of Martin... then the answer would be yes. Again, if China didn't have the communist party in power... then maybe.

If you can't tell I identify much more closely with the United States....

Now if you mean just cuz they randomly asked me to... it depends on the reason behind it. If it was like a draft, then I would definitely (although there's no guarantee 100% that you're going to die in a war).

So... countries for me
American: Yes
Canadian: No
Chinese: No

I wouldn't risk my life to save Dubya but I might risk my life for another President.

Of course. I'd give my life for anyone.

Of course not, and I like our president.

I don't care who my leader is as long as he is not a cruel despot i would defend him with my life.....USA...i don't care if it was Clinton, Bush, Carter, Reagan.....i still support my president and try to see what he does from all angles.....JFK once said that you can never judge a president unti llyou have seen exactly what has came across his desk.....i would defend my president if he was being attacked.....

Are you guys kidding?? Obviously I would! Who in their right mind wouldn't??

If Bush was going to get shot, I'd leap in front of him in a flash! That goes for any other national leader that protects the free nation that I know and love with all my being, regardless of hair-splitting and logic-chopping about stupid cliches and worthless political parties.

Well . . . I wouldn't do it if I didn't like them that much.

Nope, not really. Can't say as I would. But that's partly dependent on just who is my nation's leader at the time.

Paul Martin? Give me a break. No P.E. Trudeau he. He's not even a Chretien. He's...Paul Martin. Junior. He has the charisma of a slippery eel.

Netherlands, and no. No one with at least five functioning brain cells should sacrifice himself for someone who makes Harry Potter look bad. I'm actually saddened that they're going after Hirsi and not the Premier.

Ireland - sacrifice myself for B-B-B-Bertie???
not a snowballs hope in hell...
