So much for "I might die soon".

Sure, I'll give it a shot.

Okay, I'm planning on foiling your plans at every turn.


It would seem we have reached a stalemate. Now what?

So much for "I might die soon".

While this statement is extremely true, do you honestly think I'll just give into death? Absolutely not, dear Tess. While my body is racked with tumors and health conditions, I will still fight to live.

I'll keep that in mind next time you want me to do something... :wacko:

Anyway, live forever? On THIS earth? Naw man. Unless in my lifetime we find a way to migrate to other planets, I think I'll pass.

You're only now deciding to live forever? Geez, get with the times, man!

Ew, forever.

I'd rather die than live though 2000 years of these idiots. -_-;

If it means I get to travel in space and age slowly than I'm all for it.

Alex~ I do believe I made a few threads like this years ago, back when KaFKa was a regular.

Also, terraforming = living on Mars in a few centuries.

I'd have to go with living forever, but there would have to be a few conditions...

Such as: being the world leader, never running out of things to do, never losing full functionality of my body, not aging too badly, hmm, whatever else anybody can think of.

Flying/super powers/lazers.

For me, It'd be a tossup between flying and lazers.

I would only live forever if:

1. Global warming was fixed
2. The people I loved would live forever too
3. I would not become any more frail
4. The worldwide average IQ increased 100 points
5. I would be as perfect-looking as a young adult forever :wacko:

It would totally suck if you died just as some poor homeless guy won the lottery.

A dangerous thought, that. You don't want me that smart. I'd turn on the LHC and be able to control it.

I just thought of something.

Living forever=/=immortal.

Exactly.

I wouldn't take immortality unless I was indestructible.

You may be immortal, but imagine what you could live through or how you might have to live. No thanks.

Immortal is living forever.
You mean immunity or imperviousness or invincibility.

exactly i wouldn't take immortality unless it was through replacing a god (a la raistlin) and i doubt that will happen

Imagine, everyone has been dead for so many centuries you can no longer even remember humanity. The earth is finally starting to die away. A large meteor hits your area, and the force flings you into space. You're stuck in a constant state of cold, suffocation, and body depressurization. You'll hurl around in space for a few millenia like this, before finally getting sucked into a star, pulled by it's gravity. You'll be pulled into it's very core, to burn until the star finally collapses in on itself, and you'll forever be crushed in a black hole.

Or, you know, there's always the deadzone.

yeah immortality with out god powers would suck ass... if your a god and everyone is dead you can always make more people... just plain immortality would be boring though...

Who would like to join me?
You can keep your damned perpetual life. I'm not interested in surviving one generation after another of my friends. I'm not interested in having my youth so far outdated that others can no longer relate to it. I will be content to live until I die, for the extent of my own allotted days.

This too, would be disastrous. There would be plenty of people willing to create plans, but no one willing to perform the menial labor necessary to sustain our lives. Truth be told, I believe that this work would eventually break the genius' mind, and force his IQ down to a level that matches what he does.

Eternal life would suck.
Just think about it. It would never end. Every day would just be the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over, etc.

That's why we'd have robots. :wacko:

Well, that and slightly more magical people with pointy ears, and then the furries will get their due and have people with kitty ears and weird noses.

And behind the scenes, top brass humans will be manipulating everything.
