Thread disproven I win.

Yes you need food only because you want to survive.
Yes, also, you will die if you don't get food, but it's only because you did not want to survive or of some poverty/crisis

But if you want to die, you will need something to make it happen.

Whether that be time without nutrients or a gun, you NEED something to happen to die. Therefore, your argument is invalid.

Am I right?

EDIT: Nevermind. You WANT to die in the first place. MY argument is invalid.

Jimmy, again like John, could just not want to survive and not Need to get water and die, only because he doesn't want to survive.

Maybe you would like to know what it feels like to die of thirst... It's one of life's necessities...

If pretty sure to die of thirst is not a great felling, but here's were I can disprove your statement.

If it is one of lifes neccesites, then you only need it because you what life, or to live.

They are not all Wants and Needs are not Non Existent :/

You're looking at a 'need' from the wrong way...


If I didn't need oxygen to survive (say that I only wanted it), my body wouldn't breathe automatically and I would have to tell it to breathe, which I don't.

Disproven. Works for things like money, but not others.

thats it

we dont want it we need it or we would die.
well some people what that but most dont

Yes exactly, but let me falsify your statement.

People only need it because they do not want to die, or basically saying they want to survive/live.

I agree some what.
I dont need anything but food, water, shelter, and love.
I want everything else I have. And will be damned if I dont get it ;D

Your body only breathes automatically because it was built to survive, to live. That's just how we are created. But we can also reject it be holding our breathe.

Nice argument btw, but I feel it is false.

Ok, say if you were a baby... you don't choose what you want to live, you body uses respiration b/c of the need of air.

Actually you are wrong. You taught yourself to breathe while in the womb. You trained yourself to do it to the point where it is just natural now. Just like eating. You're mother showed you how to eat by feeding you and now you are to the point where you just naturally chew your food and put food in your mouth without having to locate it. It just happens naturally after lots of practice over the years.

But yes I have seen people miss their mouth trying to eat. It's super funny.
