NO. You will actually starve to death on just protein. There are certain essential fats that you need to eat with the protein. Inuit peoples survived for hundreds of years on traditional all flesh diets, and were really pretty healthy, but they ate the natural fats with the flesh, and that provided the fats that the human body can't make.
But actually, you really don't want to eat a diet of just protein, or just protein and fat. It gets boring. Really. Vegetable foods add interest and variety and also other good nutritional elements. Humans are omnivores, after all. We can survive on limited diets, but there's surviving and then there is thriving.

I did and I controlled my weight even with minimal to no exercise. The problem I encountered though was constipation and skin breakouts. I added vitamin supplements to my diet to make up for the deficiencies in carbo and fruits and drink fiber supplements as well.
I also fast every three months for 5to 7 days to clear my colon with either Garden and Greens 24 hour inner cleanse (7 days with food) OR Nature's secret Ultimate Fasting Cleanse (5 days supplements only). Apparently high protein diets are a leading cause to colon cancer. Now every check up I'm okay.

No, not healthily at any rate.
The body needs a lot of different nutrients, such as vitamins, carbohydrates, iron, and even fat. Any lack of these nutrients will lead to your body being malnourished and could cause a host of diseases.
For example, a lack of vitamin C will lead to scurvy, a lack of vitamin A could lead to eventual blindness, a lack of iron could cause you to be anaemic.
Too much protein in your body could also lead to another host of problems, including stressing out your liver, and eventually even liver failure.
It is always better for you to take in moderation, and to balance everything out.

as long as you drank alot of water, you can live on just about anything - try zig zagging - eat low carbs for 3 days and then carb up for 1 day and you'll lose weight faster than you can believe - your body never gets used to what your doing

Yeah, if you want to develop gout in the future. Calcium crystallizes on your joints. Very painful.

Yes you can but there are certain dangers if you do not do it right. Watch your crabs closely. Nothing breaded or fried!
