But we don't have to worry about that, Busted and Jonas Brothers went to the Year 3000.
Lame.

I would live forever but it depends on the world I'm living in:

1) If I'm to live in a post nuclear world ala Fallout 3, no thanks.

2) If the world is destined to flood and I'd be swimming around for eternity, no thanks.

3) If the electricity is forced to go out forever, no thanks.

4) If the Earth is destined to be swallowed up by the sun so I'll be roasting for eternity, no thanks.

5) If the world is taken over by zombies or aliens and I'll be having to fight them off all by my lonesome for eternity, no thanks.

and so on and so forth.

So essentially as long as Earth doesn't die you would take immortality?

Good luck with that.

Yeah, XD

But who knows, maybe by the time the earth dies, we'll have discovered and built colonies up in Mars or another planet.

Live forever, I guess.

I'd like to see the world evolve and what's happening in a few thousand years from now.

I'd choose to live forever, as long as I had the option to end my own life before I went insane.

I would rather die at 65.

Living forever? Man, if I would be able to live that long, what would be the purpose?
I would rather live for how long I can and see what I can and not live through things that could be horrible, later in life.

but after being insane for so long, you would eventually become sane again.

To be honest, it would depend on a persons religous beliefs wether or not he/she would like to live forever or not. If you believe there is a 'heaven' so to speak, then yeah, I'd say dying at 65 would be better. Imagine how lonely you'd become if you had to spend an eternity on earth knowing that every single friend or partner you'd ever become close to or fall in love with is going to die in the next 60-70 years or so.

Honestly, I'd rather die at 65, and I have my reasons.

You know how when you were younger (by human terms, a child), an hour seemed like forever to you? As people grow, their brain starts to perceive time differently. An hour feels like less time. Now extend that logic to a year, or a decade, or a century. This means that eventually, you will be completely unable to form relationships with human beings because their lives and deaths will flash past you like a tape on fast-forward.

Let's keep going into the future, since you're a sociopathic recluse and think you're still okay with this whole immortality thing. There are so many things that could go wrong with the planet, an asteroid strike, nuclear war, the LHC, but let's assume the planet somehow makes it through all that without being reduced to dust.

Five billion years from now or so, the Sun expands into a red giant. You survive the first roasting, but nothing else does. The Sun eventually rips planet Earth into rubble with gravity. So now there you are floating in outer space, drifting along, or getting a *****ing tan at the heart of the Sun so you can pick up some killer alien chicks in the Andromeda galaxy if you ever get there (you won't).

Either way, a few trillion years later, the universe starts to really show its entropy. Everywhere is the same. No stars, no planets, no black holes, just an empty, cold mass of subatomic particles that can never come together again. And you, floating along in the void. Forever.

So yeah, kill me now please.

Problem with that is you wouldn't evolve with them and would be cast aside as an inferior being.

I dunno, being immortal seems like the ultimate evolution. I would be the least inferior being in existence, considering every other creature still must eventually die.

I'm liking you more and more with each post, sir.

shazam.

and to the great panda, i still think would be ok. because what if after all of that time, like i said in a earlier post, that you could go insane and sane and insane and sane so many times that you could actually fiddle with the time stream. but anyway, even if you couldnt do that, there would have to be something somewhere. the whole universe wouldnt just die out.

I would choose immortality if there was someone I could share it with.

as stated in earlier posts, there are a select (about 4) other people you would share it with.

here is the catch though;
if all of those people just happened to be men, would you still spend it with them?
