+--- Thread: Would you want to live forever? (/showthread.php?tid=5248)
- Hey Ladi - 02-08-2003
Suppose you were made invincable? Like Highlander or a Vampire, would you want to live forever?
It might be cool I think, you could do all the things you wanted to try out, be an artist, a musician, a Hell's Angel, and just do it over & over till you get it right. I might be tough watching everyone you meet grow old & die, but you could meet new ones.

No I don't think I would...
- The Jays - 02-08-2003
... nope. Eventually I would do everything and get bored. And then the Sun would eventually swallow the Earth, and I'd have to move to a real shitty planet.
- Goatweed - 02-08-2003
On one hand I would want to, just to be able to see everything that will happen in the future. On the other, I would be lonely as fuck, because anyone I got remotely close too would eventually become a memory.
- diceisgod - 02-08-2003
How much long term memory could someone immortal have? Would they remember what they did the equavalent of one life time ago? Two lifetime's ago? If you we're a vampire you couldn't take any pictures of yourself to remind you. Can vampires be heard on a telephone? Can they post on a message board? It's a touchy situation.
- The Jays - 02-08-2003
.... but the future would never occur. Everything would always be the present.
- Sir O - 02-08-2003
No. What if I end up like the dude in Johnny Got His Gun? I'd live forever and ever as a vegetable.
Or what about when the sun burns out and all forms of life are wiped out except me? It would get pretty lonely.
- The Jays - 02-08-2003
... the sun will swallow the Earth before it burns out... so you're gonna have to travel into outer space and go somewhere.
- Sir O - 02-08-2003
Travelling outer space all by myself? What if the rockets burn out, will I just drift aimlessly for an eternity?
- The Jays - 02-08-2003
... bring a book....
- QuickStop - 02-08-2003
i would love to see technology in the years to come, but i would want to have the option to die whenever i wanted to.

Only if Hybrid lives forever with me. :thumbs-up:
- The Jays - 02-08-2003
.... you'd eventually be stuck in outer space with him... and he'd be piloting your spaceship goin WEEEEEEEEEEEEE! or saying OMG IM HAN SOLOOOOOO!...
- Weird NJ - 02-08-2003
Weeeeeeeeee-Bleep!
- The Jays - 02-08-2003
... Knock him out the box, Luke, Knock him out!

it would be cool to see if the Red Sox ever win a World Series :lol:

I definitely wouldn't want to live forever, I would constantly lose people to death, and once you found that one person that you never wanted to lose, you'd miss them for eternity. That would just suck. I am curious as to what things would be like 300 or so years from now, but I definitely don't want to live forever to find out.

Somebody might have read Pete Hamill recently...
- GonzoStyle - 02-08-2003
Yeah but i you live forever, do you have to work forever to? If so fuck that.
Aging itself is also a factor.
