I always thought about this question.How much are people willing to do for the person they love or your best friend.

That's a question that most can't answer until they are in that situation. I know I am willing to die for my loved ones... But I can't sit here and imagine which or what laws I would break!

you are right, I also found my self hard to answer this kind of question unless with some diplomatic way which in my opinion a bit useless. I think until we are pushed to face this kind of situation, we will not do anything about it.

It depends on the situation to be honest with you. There are just some laws where I might be inclined to break. Plus if it is an all or nothing situation, where there is no choice, then I will be much more inclined to do so. I might be guilty, I might think always in the back of my head that there could have been another way. If I had just thought of it more. Still when you get your back put up against the wall and you really want to help someone, desperate does set in in the absolute worst way possible. There are times where the only way out is the wrong way out. I hate to admit it, I hate to do it, but there is really nothing to be done. You just got to do what you can to help and sometimes doing what you can is not what you really should do. Yet desperate times often do call for the most desperate measures one could imagine.

I think I won't do it. Friends help each other but not to the point you'll destroy your own life just to extend help. I think friendship does not demand us things that will make our life miserable!

I would break any law to save a loved one. because for me i think it's more important a loved person or my best friend than actually a law written in a peace of paper.

It depends upon how much affectionate we are towards that person. Of course it is also depends upon the situation.

I think I will as long as I don't hurt others feeling. I would do it to save a loved one just to show how much I care but of course it also depends on the situation and the law.

Hmm.. for a love one? I don't know.. maybe I could do that. It then makes me think what will be that situation would be that I'll be able to break the law for my loved one.. Hmm? Anyway, there are some who could not do this. But there are also some who can. It actually depends on the love they feel for that person. However, being a blood related sometimes is a factor that one could do something like this. The one that is so close to your heart, too could be a factor.

Now, that is a really hard question. I don't really know how to answer that. I mean when I think of it, of course, why not? But I guess it depends on the situation. We all want to do anything for our loved ones right? I mean, who isn't? But doing anything for our loved ones doesn't mean it's always the right thing to do. Sometimes, it isn't but we just have to do it for their sake because we love them.

I know its wrong but yes for my kids and my mom, sis and dad...I would definitely save them but not if it meant I had to do jail time because then I will not be with my kids! (I cant magine life without them) but if it will save them and keep them out of trouble, then sorry but my love runs DEEP for my FAM

This will depend on what situation a person is in. In general, most people are willing to break the law for their loved one. For instance, covering up a family member for the murder he has committed. Even if the family members knew it was true, they will still be behind their loved one to protect him. I am not saying though that this is an acceptable situation, coz we know that it shouldn't be done and it isn't the right thing to do.
