I was bored today at work and I started to think about immortality. How I would love it, how I would hate it. Many people would KILL for immortality. But when you think about it: you live forever, you can never feel the physical or mental anguish of death. You are immune to diseases that can cause death. That's something good. But: You see the ones you love die, you will see how our world is destroyed, you could end up in a state of mental anguish from the stress of how your life is, never tasting death, begging for it to end your cruel immortal life, so you can never see another loved one die while you stay young forever...

Any thoughts on immortality?

If I would have immortality with absolutely NO WAY of dying EVER, no thx, sticking around on this shithole forever is fucked up, especially if earth is nomore and you wander in space gasping for air for eternity.... If there would be a way to kill myself, that only I know of than YES absolutely.

If you were Immortal you could then later find out how to save your friends and cure diseases and help them live better or something. Or you could take over the world and cause pain and destruction *shrug* I for one would love to be Immortal~ The only way that would suck though if someone captured you and locked you up in like a cell where they would never let you out or something.

It would be good for about the first 200 years. Then after that you would be wishing for death. Thats what I figure..

I figure it like this. You think it'll be good for a while, but after seeing your loved ones die, you start to wish for death. Then you find more and more love interests...and each passing century, you wish you could turn the clock back and just have been mortal...

If you are immortal, does that mean you have like METAL skin so bullets don't kill you? And you can't be cut? Does it also mean if you fell off a cliff, it would be like jumping on a pillow? Could you really deal with the fact that you are the most dangerous human being on the face of the planet? I wouldn't be able to. I would literally use my immortal powers to swim to the bottom of the ocean and bitch slap me some fish and I would discover the deepest parts of this and that. I would have eternity! w00t before I go insane. The relationship aspect is what makes it depressing :(

Nothing physical changes. You simply can't be killed, your wounds heal regularly, and you don't age at all.

I don't think so.... I would first spend first 100-200 years at earth THEN, when we have good enough Tech to travel out side of earth, you can find all kind of shits out there!! Out of space weed!

i know what you are talking about. so much shit to do. Plus you could do anything you wanted. You would be a living god. Rule the world forever doesnt sound so bad. Yes love ones will die.. and it will suck. Love no one. or get temporary love if you know what i mean ...

Now that I think of it I would love to be immortal like it is in the highlander series, cut off your head and your gone :killgrin:

That would be awsome. If there was a way I could die, but choose when to die, that would be leet.

I would want to be immortal. If i ever got tired of life, i would just take some drug to make me go to sleep for a long long time. When i wake up, i dunno.

2004-08-14, 02:40 PM
immortality would own for a long while. Then, you would see your loved ones pass away and would wonder, what would happen if i died? What does it feel like when you die? Whats the reason for life?

You'd need extra powers other than immortality or it would blow.

No powers. You only get to be impervious to death and disease and you stay young forever.

The Power To Become Invisible At Your Own Will.

That would be cool I guess but what about heat sensors and what if it was raining or you got a bucket of paint dumped all over you, then you would practically be screwed lol for invisibility, still you would be immortal but the whole point of hiding would be gone.

KagomJack
2004-08-14, 06:53 PM
you can still feel pain. But the pain doesn't come in as bad as it would when you were mortal.

So what if I wanted to jump in a boiling pit of lava? Would I still be ok..? Or would it be like a hot-tub?

KagomJack

you'd feel the pain constantly until you climbed out...

you were only thinking of how good it would be to have butt secks forever. Dont lie!

KagomJack

No...I'm actually thinking about writing a book about an immortal...but I'm not going any further than that...

Hades-Knight
2004-08-14, 09:27 PM
an immortal who is bisexual and likes teh butt secks?

I'll be interested in reading it :)

KagomJack
2004-08-14, 09:39 PM
no, the immortal is Heterosexual.

Also, keep this in mind...

If you're immortal, you'll also have to work for that amount of time, unless you were able to gain an extraordinary amount of money, but since you have no super powers, that's rather difficult.

You'd also have to find ways to conveniently "die" in the eyes of the government, or you'd have scientists trying to figure out HOW you're immortal...

why dont you just shut the fuck up? do you even know what your talking about? like geeze evey time Kagom makes a post, it dosent matter what topic or you or some other dumbass makes refrence to such things as butt sex. and gay, and whatever your not funny the topic is not funny, just shut the fuck up and stop typing bullshit all the time., i get tired of reading the same shit over and over again.

((ON TOPIC))
as stated ealyer being just immortal on its own would be sorta lame i wouldent want it,
i think i would pefer the power of a "Q" from startrek, Unlimited power of space time and matter -they are Immortal and can go anywhere and any time you wish, not just earth, Anywhere!

If you're immortal, why not rob a bank? It's not like the police can kill you, and chances are you could easily make a jail break if you're caught. ;)

Yeah but see if they lock ya up and your immortal and you can't get out then your screwed for enternity..

Not only that, but since you're not impervious to pain, and your wounds heal NORMALLY, you'd feel the effects of anything for quite some time...

Imagine if you got capped during a prison break/riot.

I would love to be immortal. You know how some people freak out when they get married because there only going to have one pussy for the rest of there lives? Well if your immortal then the pussy factor is unlimited. See, you marry one chick. She lives to be about 80 (sex stops at 50.) but you dont leave her because you love her. She dies, Then guess what? You didnt do anything wrong and you get to go find some more pussy!

errr anyway. It would be awesome. But what happens when the supposive "End of the world" comes around? Do you float around in space? That might get a little boring and might make you not want to be immortal. But guess what. Humans are probebly not going to be the only species that grows to the extent we are at now (TV, Computer, Halo) You get to live with these people to :). And I bet some of them have to have pussy. So its a never ending pussy feast!!

They will still find out no matter how good you cover it up. Because evolution, scientists have concluded that humans will look as different then as we are now in comparison to the cave people a couple of million years ago. If your going to look the same way you are now everyone will notice, you will be called freak and be stoned! Except if humans have become more tolerant of eachother.:rolleyes:

OmniFalcon
2004-08-16, 04:54 PM
Why add rules and thoughts to Immortality?

Invisibility? No Pain?

Simply put to me, if you were able to experience pain, but heal as a human would, but still not age and never die, then that doesn't that mean you have a 99% tolerance of all flames, lasers, acid, lava, drowning sensations? Like, you can burn off all your skin, but it will come back. You can freestyle in a pit of lava, and come out with nothing but nothing. You could be shot with lasers or drowned, and you would just feel the hole through your torso, or the sensation of, "Oh shit, I am drowning!"

I think immortality is a tool that should be used responsibly. You can work through your entire life and make something of yourself, mourn your lost loved ones because obviously, you have time to recover, and you can also solve mysteries! :-P

I think it would be fun because I could not worry about getting older, and see what the hell I can do to myself, and if I ever get bored, I'll sacrafice all my freedom and just go to the scientists so they can give me drugs, tests, whatever. What else can I do? I am so simple minded, thats all I can think of.

True but then just say you ate your veggies when you were little and drank lots of milk or some shit or make a new life everyonce in a decade and wear a fake mustache or wear different clothes or something so they wouldn't even know it was the same person *shrug* lol

Arbitus
2004-08-16, 11:50 PM
They probebly couldnt really take you to a lab. But what happens if you get sentanced to death.

Would you be able to feel pain if you were immortal. Wow the electric chair/leathal enjection would be a bitch! How would you explain to the guy that pulls the handle that although it hurt like a bitch you are still alive? He might pull the bitch again!

Randuin
2004-08-17, 12:13 AM
Then you'd be sent to a lab

KagomJack

you would feel it...

you wouldn't die...your skin would eventually return to normal...
