There AIN'T A damn thing I would not do to survive.

I have no Illusions or delusions, your choice.

Published on April 18, 2006 By Moderateman In Misc

I have seen several articles and replies about what a person would or would not do in order to 'SURVIVE" I see many wonderful replies about how you are above all that {you is the generic you}.

Let me be perfectly clear about this, if it came to My and colleens survival, I would "dust" anyone!, Steal food? yep, steal medications? yep. Set booby traps to kill your tresspasing ass? you betcha! When it comes to sheer survival I have no illusions about how low I would stoop in order to continue life and protect colleens life too. Many folks here do not believe in GOD. but believe in Darwin, well part of Darwin is "survival of the fittest" get it right!

So in closing do not be so quick to proclaim to the world at large what you would or would not do to live, take your pollyanna thoughts and remember if it comes to me VRS you, I will not hesitate to dust your weak moral ass."

Ha ha ha ha ha! I know that I'm probably not supposed to laugh at this, but I do anyway.
I think that most of us will do anything when it comes down to it. We, wanting to think ourselves better than we really are, say that we wouldn't kill people, etc. But let's be real. Yes we all probably would, at least for our family's sake.
Delusions or illusions aside, survival is the stronges instinct in the human body.

The scenario that Charles gave did not require doing anything. It only presented a down and out situation in todays societal framework. Given the parameters he set forth, I dont see a need to go post apocalyptic.

survival is the ONLY instinct we humans have, the rest is learned behavior.

I have seen some of yours, and then Charles latest. I just assumed that it was in reference to that one. If not, sorry. You can delete the post since JU still wont let us edit them.

Illusioins? Oh, I have none. Like San Chomino said, faced with the ultimate, would I? Probably. As you say, Survival is the strongest instinct.

Seeing how easily people's feathers can get ruffled, I hope that we never rely solely on instinct.

I agree that if push comes to shove and there is really no other way, say a Arnold terminator future scenario or a Van Dam Cyborg scenario, then I would probably be as vicious as MM would be. My article, however, was based on todays society, where most people would not condone killing someone else unless your life is being threatened, and not by booby traps either (he he he he I said booby).

BTW, MM you can be a scary person sometimes you know.

Here's wishing that we're not the last ones left on earth....because I'd hate to have to "make you go away".

That said, I'm sure we'd all do whatever it took to survive; ethics, morals, and laws be damned.

I was a little worried about appearing to scarey, but I don't think of myself as scarey, just REAL.

BTW i AM OLD FART mild mannered Jewish man today.

I believe there is a difference between living and surviving.

Surviving implies an attack or obstacle of some sort. I agree with you MM...I don't know what I would do to someone else just to protect my stuff...but I would probably kill to protect my kids. I say probably only because I'm not always a good shot!
