Faux Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 You can't die at all no matter what you do, or what happens to you. Immune to anything. Immortality is the subject of many stories. Usually, it's the antagonist searching for it. And usually, the antagonist fails. If you were offered immortality, would you take it? Would you be willing to go through eternity knowing you'll never have that final rest? That everyone you once love or know will cease to exist while you go on? That's the thing that often bothers me. I've always found immortality worthless. Long age, I'm fine with, but eternal life? No thanks. I can count the reasons why I want to live in one hand - and none of them will exist forever. :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knives669 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 If I was offered the chance to be immortal, I wouldn't take it. I think everyone is meant to die someday. We all need our rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinslayer777 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 One thing i'd much prefer over immortality would be a pause button. Namely to read this massive stack of books runescape has delayed. For two years. What could is immortality if the world moves faster then you? Not really my point to bother people, but what i mean to say is immortality isn't too useful if you can't keep up with the time that goes by.

deloriagod Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 There's no way I'd take it. Imagine if you ended up being sentenced to life in prison for something.. That would be a horrible way to spend eternity.. I think I'll keep my free pass to the world beyond ;) Internet Marketing For Newbies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lionheart_0 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I dont know... I think i might... I've thought out many things this year so far (school year) and have come to the conclusion: People do bad stuff out of the fear of their future death. Edit: WTH? I meant to quite, and not post this... guess ill post it anyways... If i had forever to live... id give a little more back to the world. Since i dont have forever, i try and use my time preciously.

Militaris Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Eventually it could result in eternal torment a life floating around in nothingness, but by then hopefully I would of gone completely insane so it would not matter. So yes I would accept Immortality. There is so much time, so many places to see and experiences to enjoy. I would grow bored given time but I feel it is more worthwhile to spend eternity living then a eternity dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadril Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Now if I could choose imortality with an option to simply "self destruct" so to speak whenever I wanted, I'd do that. I would love to see what the future is like... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barihawk Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I would never take it. My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sustained in my old friends and companions and my poor soldiers.

insane Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I wouldn't take immortality. However, an extra 100 years or so? Definitely :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadril Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Immune to anything guys. There's no middle way In that case I think I Would take it. The reason being is eventualy we will have better and better space ships, better technology and eventualy would be able to go to distant places. There are a ton of things to do in life, IMO, and I think I would take it. Yeah, I'd never get "peace" but I think the good would out weigh the bad...

Devilsdragon Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Immortality isn't immunity, it's just that you don't die. You could still get sick/lose a limb/become braindead and still be alive. No I wouldn't take it, even if it were impossible to anything to happen to me. I'd prefer to just die between 60-80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK there are no rules to immortality other than not dying, people seem to get the idea that you're a god once you've become immortal, but imortal != impenetreble or immaulalbe or anything along those lines.

Faux Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 Ok, my second sentence in the thread reads "Immune to anything." :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsdragon Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Immune to anything is too broad. According to that statement a person could strap onto the back of a rocket and blast into space, no burns, no feeling of lightheadedness from thin air, no lack of pressure on the body to be felt. The person could weigh themselves down and sink to the bottom of the ocean without threat of pain. However, on the flipside of this the person wouldn't be able to feel if they got touched, they wouldn't be able to get a tan or smell the shampoo of a girl. There is an upside and a downside to everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for me, I would do it. It would be pretty awesome. You would get to watch all the different generations of people and the rise and fall of civilizations. It would be very interesting. It would be like living through history. And think of all the help you would be able to give to the young people once you are like 1,000. You would pretty much know about everything and could really make an impact on civilization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
