Who wants to live forever ?

baxter · Dec 17, 2005

With all the talk of God here's a question.

If you were given the option would you be immortal?

I'm not talking living for a couple of hundred years, but forever.

So given the option would you?

Greatgat · Dec 17, 2005

You know it. I want to see all the crazy/wierd/wonderful things that people will do, and take part in it.

Que-Ever · Dec 17, 2005

No.

If it was forced on me, I'd sleep through it. Rip Van Wesley.

Ikerous · Dec 17, 2005

I believe the last time we had a thread on this the general concensus was that it'd suck to live for eternity
(i.e floating through space forever or being stuck in the gravitatioal pull of some lare body for the rest of existence)

Danimal · Dec 17, 2005

If I was able to kill myself when I was sick of life, then yes. Otherwise I woudn't.

Nat Turner · Dec 17, 2005

I would. For sure. I'm no coward.

Wouldn't it be more a matter of getting bored than being afraid?

ComradeBadger · Dec 17, 2005

**** forever, if you don't mind.

(no)

I'm not afraid to be bored for eternity.

Greatgat · Dec 17, 2005

v That guy...

bvasgm · Dec 17, 2005

It'd be fun for a while but eventually it would just get boring. Who wants to float in space aimlessly forever?

Yeah, if I wasn't able to die of old age or something, sure, but living for an eternity would suck ass. It's da truth.

No thanks, not on this crappy planet.

Name just one better planet to live on, then.

Sorry dying of old age is not an option

How 'bout a void of non-existence. Either that or paradise. This planet is neither, either would be preferable.

Non-existence > infinite boredom.

Why is a void of non-existence better?

panda_rage · Dec 17, 2005

Yeah sure, just as long as i stayed young for the rest of eternity. (and lived on populated planets)

You have no guarantee that the boredom will continue infinitely. I find it amusing how hastily you would all choose to not exist.

It's probably just a purple glow and a high pitched humming, anyway. That's how I imagine it.

What could be wrong with it?

Now tell me the point of existing.

Que-Ever · Dec 17, 2005

If you didn't exsist anymore, you wouldn't be around to care whether or not you were exsisting... or not. So.. boredness FTL, everyone wins.

Nat Turner · Dec 17, 2005

MiccyNarc said:

Because, you're just nothing.

Now tell me the point of existing.

There isn't a point, I just prefer it that way.

Muffin Man · Dec 17, 2005

No i wouldn't, all my friends and loveed ones dieing and me being alone, drifting in space hungru and shit for all eternity.... id rather face death

dream431ca · Dec 17, 2005

irrelevant question. You can't live forever..even if you choose to.

The Brick · Dec 17, 2005

I would if I wouldn't age (staying in this 16-years-old physical form). I think it would be pretty interseting to see how humanity kills itself. And how earth gets destroyed.
Also, if there were more people to live forever, stick together (less boring that way).

Danimal · Dec 17, 2005

If I was alone and immortal, i'd refuse. If there was like... Galaxies with intellegent life I could visit then hell yes i'd agree.

Well, you can always create your own life forms :O

StardogChampion · Dec 17, 2005

Hell yeah I'd want to live forever. You could spend hundreds of years learning EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING.

You'd be able to do so much stuff it'd be unbelievable.

Then when the people on earth kill themselves, you could use your cloning knowledge to build a new society on the moon. Awesome.

Yeah. You'd be like short recoil

Ennui · Dec 17, 2005

Easy question. The answer is a definite no. Perhaps a thousand years, but forever? That's a torture whose equal I cannot concieve.

Blackghost905 · Dec 17, 2005

I would love to live forever, I think in about 30 years they will make somthing so that you can live forever.

First of all, no they won't, since that's unimaginably advanced science, if it is even possible. We're going to learn to utilize hyperspace and wormholes before that, and we're talking hundreds of thousands of years because that's going to take the entire energy output of our SUN, which might take a while for us to figure out how to do.

Second, what would you do for an eternity of silence? People are afraid of hell, but once everything's cold and dark and humanity's gone, you're just floating in a void for the rest of ETERNITY. Not to mention the fact that despite being able to live forever, you're probably still capable of experiencing discomfort, and floating in a vacuum cannot feel all that great.

It would appear that Ennui is in a serious mood this morning.

Blackghost905 · Dec 17, 2005

:/ i forgot to add one more 0 I ment 300 years

Ennui · Dec 17, 2005

You're still so wrong it hurts.
