Forever...that's difficult...

I would like immortality with no aging defects but also the chance of losing my life, invincibility destroys the point of feeling alive. Perhaps I'd get bored or too depressed, in which case I could just end it. Otherwise despite all the emotional pain living for a fair few centuries wouldn't be so bad.

"I plan to live forever, of course, but barring that I'd settle for a couple thousand years. Even five hundred would be pretty nice."

Living forever is my personal idea of Hell.. so, no. Absolutely not.


I would like to live only as long as it takes to accomplish a few certain goals. No more, no less.

[Crimson Lego]

From my point of view, living forever would be crap, since you would keep getting older and older and brittler and brittler; you'd eventually fall apart but not die. Buddhahood is where it's at!


Besides, if people lived forever, it would disrupt the cycle in which nutrients from dead bodies return to the Earth to feed plants that grow, etc, etc; it has the same effect as burying people in coffins. I learned that in Science class today.

I dont know. Would there always be White Castles, Chinese Food, Pizza and video games? Cause then i might think about it.

[Iron Knuckle]

I wouldn't for short.

You'd still age every day so after 200 years you'd be deaf, mute, blind and possible no feeling anyway. So what's the point of living if you can't experience it?

Jesus Christ! What a thread!

GN. We get it. You don't like the idea of a God. Cool.

Nothing's changed at all.

I was watching this episode of Supernatural and there was a spell that allowed the person to live forever...HOWEVER the downfall was that the person who lived forever would have to replace body parts as they rotted...so like...they where literally a living zombie...

in the end of the episode they ended up burying the guy who did the spell alive in a coffin full of cement so he couldn't escape...

talk about crappy.

Hey, both of you guys cut it...oh wait, we're not in Contro.

Carry on until whoever mods this place busts you.

What he started to say.


First off - neither video is really welcome, because all they'll do is incite the religious folk (and they're more jerkishly condescending than funny if you're of that persuasion).

Secondly - If you're approaching / in / beyond your late teens, then you're too old to be a playground bully.

*shrug*

I like the playground reference. Very applicable, here.

So anyway.

I definitely would want to live forever. That would rule.

While there is all the stigma that people think of about becoming immortal, I think it would be interesting. Seeing the progression of time across an indefinitely long term seems like it would be worth trading off some of the negative aspects of immortality. As for worries about the heat death of the universe, inevitable entropy, etc, it seems like immortality would lend the solution of seeing society develop things that delve into the metaphysical, and allow existence beyond the universe as we know it. Time machines would have to come around eventually, and then you could just dick around with the lesser mortals throughout time and space.

Yeah.

If I get to live forever, do I get to live forever with David Tennant as Dr. Who? <3

I can't survive from any moment to another. I've already died a million-billion times since I started writing this post, and that's if I'm even me. Maybe dying is a bigger change than all these little ones. But the size doesn't really matter to me. I wouldn't mind if the death change never happened, though, as my personality will never solidify anyway, and there will always be new cultural changes to explore, until I'm the last human alive. Then I could easily float around in space developing multiple personalities and talking to myself.

Whoa, wait, what? Are you part of some obscure religion I don't know about or where on earth are you getting your ideas?

[masterofwind]

I would like to live forever, I would of enjoyed watching how things have changed if I had been born back in the beginning of humans.

[Keen]

Whoa, wait, what? Are you part of some obscure religion I don't know about...

I dunno. I don't like labels and such.

...or where on earth are you getting your ideas?

I try not to hold ideas too firmly, as it impedes my development. I just have a hard time believing I would get bored living forever, as I wouldn't be me after a while. Am I malfunctioning?
