I used to be willing… not anymore. I’ve come to the conclusion nobody cares about me and if nobody cares about me I don’t owe them anything. I wouldn’t so much as stop to help a young woman with a flat tire… except old people. I help older folks at the feed store all the time. There’s many older families near my home that own farms and ranches and our tractor supply is the biggest store in town. Just the other day I help an older lady and her husband with about 100 lbs of chicken feed. Had to replace my shower late last year so I bought a replacement at Home Depot and helped this old guy load up some lumber in the back of his truck…
I can’t forget where I come from but fuck this newer generation. My generation and younger disgust me. Anyone hear about that guy that went to jail for rape after helping with a flat tire… I don’t think she ever was punished for false allegations. Oh well not my problem and neither are yours.

I don't think any of us truly knows what we would do till we're in that situation.
For a child, yes!. For anyone else, no. If it's a "someone dies" thing, and one family or the other is going to suffer, I'm not going to make my family suffer intentionally. Now if it's a risk of death thing, I would like to think if I would at least try if the odds are favorable.
Yes I would, especially a young person who deserves more time to really live and experience life

I would like to say yes, however I do actually have someone depending on me and it would be bad for them.
No I would not purposely do it, however at the back of my mind I know I would do something stupid like try, however that would not be intentional.
I’ve seen people do stupid things at times to help someone else or save them from something, sacrifice has not really been the idea behind it.I have Thank God it all turned out good . Because in the blink of an eye you react you commit and everything is so slow motion that you are 5000 feet ahead of your self and what seems like hrs is done in seconds and it's over with and you sit down and say WTF just happen . You dont think if it's a stranger or not there's no time you react

I have done it before... but I was early 20's and, as I have grown up older and have "more to lose" it's been more difficult for me to consider such things
but "that thing" that just moves you to action and help someone in dire need is still there, for sure... I am just way more aware of the consequences, today Yes, given my status. I am unmarried with no children. My death would not be as keenly felt in all likelihood as the person I am saving.
And yes, on two occasions I risked my life for strangers.No.
Most of the time they got themselves into this mess. Why sacrifice the "innocent" while the outcome stays the same.
Would mind taking some risks if the outcome looks promising.
Have also jumped in and pulled a guy and a kid out of the icy waters before. But switching with somebody random on a land mine, hell no😅My son, yes. My wife, maybe. My friends, possibly.
My Faith, definitely.
A stranger? I honestly don't know. It would be an "in the moment" decisionNo. Life is selfish and sometimes you gotta play the game life plays. I’d save myself first no matter who
Those few who would, deserve the highest salary, fame and glory. People luke that are the reason for safety.
Its a shame and disgrace that the world media and mainstream focus is on entertainers, politicians and criminals.Yeah, I'm not a piece of shit!
But ofc it would depend on the attractiveness of that stangers facial & bodily bone structureI would like to think so. But it's a tough thing to think about if you would be willing to die for someone you don't know.
I would try hard not too, we rely heavily on our training, our equipment and each other, but sadly it does happen.
for a stranger? someone who i don't know at all? yeah no. why tf would i do that
I'll try my best to save them but i wouldn't sacrifice myself for someone that i never knew and the most important factor is that i have responsibilities and people who needs me...
No, but I would sacrifice a stranger for myself... For example... A seriel killer is running at me... I push a stranger behind me and shove them towards the killer to slow the killer down hehe
I would take a risk but not knowingly die for a stranger.
Probably for a child but if it's a strange adult, then I should help as much as I can.
Depends if they were either democrats or Republicans. Save a democrat from him own stupidity no thanks.
not jump off a cliff but i have and will help a stranger. you have to be careful but yes help how ever i can
honestly speaking, no not really. i'd help them as much as i can though
I heard once that the more impulsive you are the more likely you are to risk your life for someone.
