Noblesse Oblige

I don't think I'd make a very good spy. Spies kind of have to be able to pass and be forgetable, but for whatEVER reason, people seem to remember me.... Hey - I hear that John Barrowman wants to be Bond - what do you think?

I'm not smart enough or in good enough physical shape!

It always depends on how sincerely the country is looking after the welfare of it's citizens including me.

I think that Bond gets quite a good lifestyle in return - not to forget that he is licensed to kill!! how cool is that? He gets the latest sports cars all laden with weapons, he gets the girls(s) oh yeah, he's really layin' on the line for queen and country...

Well, I do love India, but would I die for India? I think I love myself a bit more than I love India. How unpatriotic of me! Or would some call me "selfish"? LOL!!! Cheers and happy mylotting

Hahahahaa - I'm a lazy cow, and not even likely to go into battle for myself, let alone my country! As for clandestine operations, they would see and hear me coming from a mile off - thundering across the plains, bellowing and wailing. Very indiscreet ... NOT.

Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori - it is sweet and right to die for your country. I'm with Wilfred Owen on this one, the great lie.

Yes, I would do that. I feel that my country is worth saving and preserving even if things have gotten way too screwy. I want to see the new Bond film but will probably wait till it's on pay tv, which is about half the price of a theater ticket.

If your country is in danger you should accept the responsibility to do what is necessary to save your country. I wouldn't do this for Trinidad because everyone here looks at me as if I'm not really a part of the truly national character because of my race and culture and, besides, the government, a totally corrupt entity, encourages the people in Trinidad to do this. England is a lot different in so many ways I would say yes, die for England. This country protects the free world and encourages democracy internally. These days you have to differentiate because there are a lot of people who think they own others and their country as well. The governing party here in Trinidad are really into real estate with Trinidad as their prime property. This is all very true.

no. but i think this man is probably one of those thrill seekers and he enjoys daring stuff and wants to die a hero anyway so he can forever be remembered in history books.

Hi p1key, I have really thought and thought and thought about it, but I've come to the conclusion I really can't, I value my life more, our country will still be here long after I've gone. Hugs. Tamara

Well, if i had James Bond's paycheck, i definitely will. Hehehehehe.

Like James Bond I put my country over everything.I always see my country's interest first. I love my country and my people.If I can't do anything for my country the life is meaningless.My country(Bangladesh) is over populated.Most of the people are very poor.It pains me.If I can do some welfare for them It will be great achievemet of my life.Ican't do any adventure like James Bond. But I love my country.

No, sometimes I'm ashamed of the country I live. People can be really rude and ignorant here. :( I also don't put too much loyality to my country. We get a new ruler and cabinet ever 4-8 years. So, every 4-8 years imo it can feel like a different country. I don't have a problem with people being deeply loyal to their countries, but I don't understand why and I couldn't do it.

Hi p1ke...mmm that is a sobering thought...being honest though I don't think I could put my country fist insuch actions as I find my family eniugh!! lol...littleowl
