He is a fool. He told me "Nothing in life is worth dying for." To which I replied, in the words of Ronald Reagan, "If nothing in life is worth dying for, when did this begin? Just in the face of this enemy? Or should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the Pharaoh's? Should Christ have refused the cross? Should the Patriots at Concorde bridge have thrown down their guns and refused to fire the shot heard round the world? The martyrs of history were not fools. And our honored dead, who gave their lives to stop the advance of the Nazis, didn't die in vain." My question is, do you believe that there are things in life worth dying for?

Yes there are many things in this world worth dying for.
Most of the ones I would die for I know as my children. I would much rather kill for them.

It happens once you're narrow minded and bigoted. unexpectedly each and every thing which you do no longer trust gets lumped up into a similar type, like some sort of evil soup. Conservative interventionists do no longer trust non-interventionists and subsequently non-interventionists might desire to be liberal and likewise might desire to be the devil. additionally, you men have redefined the international "conservatism" such countless circumstances, it relatively is stressful to truly tell what the hell every physique relatively potential by potential of "real conservative."

Of course there are things in life worth dying for. If you think nothing is worth dying for, it's the same as saying nothing in life is worth living for.

Yes, there are things worth dying for.
For him to say that there is nothing worth dying for, shows that for him nothing is worth living for either, it's a strange paradox, but it definitely works both ways.

Without a doubt...Family, Freedom, Country, Honor, the saving of a stranger in threat of imminent mortal harm, a child. There are instances where one must rise above ones self...History is full of such examples.

What your roommate is trying to say is that he is a coward who is not willing to defend the very freedom he enjoys. There are many things worth dying for. My Savior, My Family, My Country, My Friends, My fellow countrymen, Freedom and the list could go on. People like your roommate have no sense of purpose or responsibility. They are selfish and think only of themselves. I don't mean to be harsh... but if it looks and acts like a duck....
Wow Mayflower.... I am so flattered! Thanks!

Look, to each his own. He will not change your views and you can not change his. Just respect each other's views and agree to disagree. Stay away from discussing politics at all costs and everything should be fine and yes I believe there are things in life worth dying for, but that cause should not be a petty or foolish one, because life is sacred to answer your question.

Your roommate is stupid. It's impossible to argue w/ a brick wall (and an idiot) so don't waste your time.
PS
I'm totally turned on by 'THAT GUY'...
