Well, we are talking about what you would do when you're immortal, as a way to justify being so.

Perhaps, I shall create a new set of laws, if I were actually to do this impossible goal.

Yay! Successful debate thread is successful.

[sagemaster777]

Hmmm...I'd probably Join leo in his Quest, we have the same ideals and goals, at least most. (80%)

[Twilit Lion (Leo)]

maybe you should join the dollars then. XD

I used to say I'd rather die than live forever without the ability to die. However I have changed my stance. I would want to be immortal. After living for hundreds of millions of years I think it likely I would of evolved my mind more than a few times and ceased being human, instead becoming something far greater. Shedding myself of humanities tiresome traits and focusing my efforts on understanding the real universe would be delightful.

Who knows, living for potentially hundreds of billions of years one might even evolve into a god-like being. You would certainly have near infinite knowledge of the universe at that point in anycase. I could dig that.

So it's the "age=experience" times a thousand. I like your idea though.

[Twilit Lion (Leo)]

It is true though, experience creates knowledge.

[Super Sanin 3]

Too many things could happen that would make me miserable for all those years to come >.<

[Leafy]

Maybe if you believe in 42, you can achieve immortality...

I'd rather die. It would be so much easier.

[MinatoXNaruto]

I would want to live until I'm ready to die. So I guess what I'm saying is, I would want to live as long as i want, but die when i wanted to

Oh. o.O

I would want to die. I would hate to watch all those around me that I love and care about pass on while I am stuck in this wretched planet. Talk about a complete nightmare. The only positive side of this would be that I would get to see what the future holds for mankind and the earth herself. Could be the only person left on the planet after so mankind dies off. Might be interesting to see what life is like after people, other then what Discovery channel and other channels like that have guess at life after people on our planet.

[Seven]

Depends, would I age?

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

I don't care how long I live (though I'd like to finish One Piece and The World God Only Knows). So, I could live forever. I think at some point the idea of people close to me dying would become normal. I've already kind of got over the fact that people die in my first 21 years of life. So, I don't think death would bother me ever. I also don't really have many "loved" ones. I could play all the video games I want to, forever!

I'd also be fine with dying though. Maybe see what exactly the afterlife would be like.

World peace will never happen.

I'd hardly call America "stable". Closer than many/most, maybe.

Any proof against that? Who's to say the afterlife can't be made different for each person? Assuming a higher power exists, I'm pretty positive he could create that.

Another person who would go with it!

I'm sorry for your losses maik.

But I disagree:

Do you ever worry about what will happen if the wrong guy is elected? Have you ever had to worry about congress passing a law which gives them full authority. Have you ever had to worry about a singular cultural influence siezeing absolute power? For the most part, we are affluent @ssholes living in our own bubbles while some homeless family suffers down the street. Meanwhile we talk about helping other countries and ignore our own poor,because it's their fault.

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

I didn't say our government was bad, just that I don't consider us "stable" per se. That last sentence is one of those reasons why.

Whats An America?

I mean, it's possible...

And that's all I'm gonna say.
