Although this may not get many responses I want you to think hard before you answer. Think of one thing you couldn't live with out. What is it and why couldn't you live with out it? Now think of one thing you could live with out. What is it and why could you live without it? Try and respond with 25 or more words. The longest response wins.

well this is a relly good trick to invite a lot of people to write long responses for you but as long as i think i have a chance to win.... hey who's complaining.... to answer the real question i believe the only real thing that i cannot live without is my family... to know that you have someone luking out for you all the time to have somone to care for you and love you unconditionally gives you a satisfaction and a pride that few other things can match... infact there nothing that can match it ....thanks aggiejoe i may not win your best response but you have truly made me realize how important my family is to me.. thanks...

I feel the same way my husband and boys are really all that I have in this world and I couldn't imagine life without them. Although I have already chosen a best response I give you a positive rateing because thats all I really intended on was for people to relize what is important to them and hold their importance close to their hearts. Yours is truely the best response and I thank you.

Well, I would definatly have to say I could not live without my family, family is the most important thing to me. Without them, life is just not worth it, and as for the thing I could live with out well I think that would have to be hate, I know that is a big topic, but I think hate is a big problem in the world, if there were more people who didn't hate each other, I think there would be alot less problems in the world.

In my current situation I would have to say that I could absolutely NOT live without my kids (does plural count...i have more than one!). I would be absolutely devastated if I lost either one of them and could no longer "live" the way I do now. Of course I could go on with life and I wouldn't kill myself over it but my life would no longer be the same and I wouldn't feel alive any more. As for something I could live without...well that list could go on and on but I could live without war. I am not among war in a literal sense but much of my life revolves around war- people I know are traumatized by it- I know someone who saw his best friend get shot in the head. He has nightmares, years later and probably will for the rest of his life. I have a friend who was almost killed. So war impacts me, regardless of whether I am right there or not. I would like to see it gone forever. Definately could live without war. I hate to know that people die because someone told another person that it was ok to kill them.
Though I am sure that all of the countries governments would have to come up with a new way of population control, I assume. I shouldn't joke though...

One answer for me, My Savior Jesus. After My Savior Jesus, my Husband Ken and family. As for the rest of life my ability to provide the basics of life, food, shelter, etc. A place to worship Jesus. Recreation. Now, do I have these. YES, I do. I have My Savior Jesus. My Husband Ken and I have planned an excellent retirement income to provide the basics and money left over for recreation. WE have a wonderful church to worship our Savior.

Saying "thing" you exclude our kids or beloved ones. So... Let me think! The one thing that I couldn't live without is the telephone. I can;t stand the thought of living here where I live without a telephone to inform anyone about a problem that I may be have. You see where I live it's a long way from civilization. The one thing I could live without is the radio. I used to spend so many hours above a radio when I was younger, I even worked at a radio station. But now I can't stand even the thought of hearing a radio show or something.My mother uses it all the time, and I try to be as far away as possible.

Wow! Good question!
I couldn't live without my son. My son is my life, and in my life right now, my purpose is to be a good mother. Without him, I dont think there would be a reason for life.
I could live without judgemental people. Life is to short and I really think its just a waste of time to think you could rank others by their weight, hair color, clothes. People who do this dont deserve to live

Ok the first one is VERY easy and would apply to every human alive! I can NOT live without air/oxygen. The reason I could not live without it is obivious, I would die!
The second part of the question is a little harder. I could live without a LOT of things. But the one thing that comes to mind would be sweets. This is something I really do not even need, but it is also something I would never eat if it was not available. I am not a big dessert/sweet eater and if people would just stop having them around, I would NEVER eat them. So I can Live without anything sweet.

the one thing that i could never live without is the love of my family. having the love from my family shows me that hey this world can be an alright place from time to time. the one thing that i could live without is all the violence that is going on in our world today. the reason i could live without the violence is because innocent people would not be getting killed just by walking down the street or stepping ou their front door.

The first part is easy. The one thing I could not live without is myself. Take away anything else and I would survive, but I have to have me to live.
There are tons of things I could live without, though, so it's hard to come up with an answer there, as obviously everything else alone, I could live without out. Soooo, I'm going to say negative people. I could sure live without those kind of people in my life. They just bring me down and ruin my mood and depress me, if I stay around them too much.
