Jake the Sage Posted March 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Why go anywhere when staying at home is more convenient? Because at home you can't have all of the experiences you can in the wide open world. For instance one of the things my family wants to do is go to South Carolina and get a small mining area and dig for emeralds, rubies and the like. You pay for your spot and you get to keep it for as long as you live. You don't pay to have the gems carved or polished either if you do find any. I think that would be a cool life experience to have . . . In fact, if given the opportunity to become immortal, a true immortal where you not only never die but your body cannot be damaged, would you take the option?

Headmaster Monokuma Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 In fact, if given the opportunity to become immortal, a true immortal where you not only never die but your body cannot be damaged, would you take the option? I would run out of things to do far too quickly. Never. Though an eternity to start Let's Playing does sound appealing obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sploda Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Yes Jake, yes I would because my ultimate dream is to live forever. Thankfully Immortality comes in more than one form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake the Sage Posted March 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 True Creator, but I specifically meant that kind. And I would personally take that type of immortality without a second thought. Sure I'd never be able to have children, or if I did watch my descendants die around me, but there is too much to see and too much to do to not pass that up. Also, if the world is destroyed, scientists are almost certain there would be other intelligent life out there. So, I could be blasted into space by NASA to find them- since being immortal I can obviously make the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sploda Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 I'd take it too, but even without it I intend to become immortal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 What would be your ultimate dream vacation? For me it'd either be going to the Miyazaki Museum in Japan or something to do with Godzilla . . . maybe going on the set, be an extra, in the new Godzilla 2014 movie. I really loved my time in Switzerland, I just might want to go back there, and maybe do a whole European venture while I'm at it. Shame my financial future doesn't bear any positive prospects at the moment... Hunchback of Notre Dame is probably the most nostalgic Disney movie for me. I watched it at my grandma's house while I was up there one week, and I felt like I was 5 years old all over again. Dream vacation? That's easy: Greece. Mostly for photography of the famous landmarks of Ancient Greek history, as well as the ruins of Troy if it exists. I better see that then, and the only guy I know who's been to Greece said he stayed in and wrote the whole time. But I'm glad to hear there's actually stuff to do there, he didn't make it sound like it. @Fusion Rapunzel I can forgive, but you need to watch Princess and the Frog, as well as Hunchback of Notre Dame. Those two Disney movies are amazing, even if Princess and the Frog isn't as old as the others it feels like one of them. It is a good thing my mom got a family Netflix account for her birthday, I better start building a queue for the summer. Why go to Disney World when Universal Studios vastly outclasses it at everything? I mean, US is awesome, but I've been there twice as opposed to Magic Kingdom where my one time didn't even qualify. Because at home you can't have all of the experiences you can in the wide open world. For instance one of the things my family wants to do is go to South Carolina and get a small mining area and dig for emeralds, rubies and the like. You pay for your spot and you get to keep it for as long as you live. You don't pay to have the gems carved or polished either if you do find any. I think that would be a cool life experience to have . . . In fact, if given the opportunity to become immortal, a true immortal where you not only never die but your body cannot be damaged, would you take the option? You're telling me your dream is to go gold-digging with Lora? Sign me the f*ck up. I'd never want to be immortal and outlive everyone I come to know and love. Honestly, even if it doesn't feel like it, there's plenty of time in your life to do and try all these different experiences, it entirely depends on what you make of it.

Desu the Blue Nerd Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Right, but pretty much everybody has told me it meets the hype more when you're a kid compared to now. Nothing's ever going to be as good the second time around. But whatever, I'm more in touch with my inner child than most anyways, so I should have a blast either way. I've actually never watched Disney's Alice in Wonderland. Same for Hunchback of Notre Dame. I'd still recommend at least Hunchback. What a classic. I haven't seen Rapunzel or the Frog Princess either, but I'm assuming those are more forgivable. I really don't care enough to see either. Although I completely lost interest in Disney anyway. I want to see the white tigers in Vegas someday. What would be your ultimate dream vacation? For me it'd either be going to the Miyazaki Museum in Japan or something to do with Godzilla . . . maybe going on the set, be an extra, in the new Godzilla 2014 movie. Italy. Simply a place I want to go to. And the people LOVE blondes. Well for one, "Troy" was located in what is now modern day Turkey, which means you'd better have planned a multi-country trip =/ Speculation. There's also the fact that Greece is currently dangerous for tourists and has had country-wide protests against economical measures taken by their leaders. A portion of the trouble is coming for the neo-fascist group "Golden Dawn" So yeah it isn't the best place right now xD But at least you can still visit the ruins of Troy in Turkey if they're open to tourists So...beautiful sights and fighting terrorist organization with a pretty cool name? I might need to change my answer. I'm surprised that The Princess and the Frog didn't do as good as I thought it would. I'm not. I mean it was Disney finally getting back to their roots with the entire princess scenario. But then again I guess since they hadn't done it in so long most people weren't certain about an animated Disney movie being played in theater when Pixar had taken it over. Yeah, I don't think that had anything to do with it. I think people just simply didn't care. For what they didn't care for, I'm not sure. Maybe it just seemed like them adding the token black princess. Also I think it was nice that they finally had a black princess. On another note they really had a lot of freedom to do with the story as they pleased, since the original Princess and the Toad story had little detail in it. Because at home you can't have all of the experiences you can in the wide open world. You clearly missed the point if you actually felt the need to answer to it. For instance one of the things my family wants to do is go to South Carolina and get a small mining area and dig for emeralds, rubies and the like. You pay for your spot and you get to keep it for as long as you live. You don't pay to have the gems carved or polished either if you do find any. I think that would be a cool life experience to have . . . In fact, if given the opportunity to become immortal, a true immortal where you not only never die but your body cannot be damaged, would you take the option? Well this came out of nowhere but ye-no.

Lt. Colonel Remo Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Speculation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troy_VII A bit past the stage of speculation Either way there's no denying that Troy, legendary or otherwise, was located in presumably Anatolia But whether those ruins were specifically the ones mentioned in the Iliad and that this city appeared exactly as Homer described would probably be speculation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Warden Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I'm not fond of travelling, so I don't have much of a dream vacation, except maybe Japan. Immortality on a general basis is a pretty hollow existence. Really, it's not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thar Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I agree with Broken, Creator. Immortality saves you the pain of death, but it gets boring after a while. As Achilles said: "The Gods envy us because we're mortal; because any moment could be our last; everything is more beautiful." It's better to live a short life and watch the world grow than live forever and watch it crumble, personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to deny that more information could have been acquired since I was a Freshman or that I just really didn't get a hell of information. Although I do love how I looked at the wikipedia page and read the word hypothesis... I agree with Broken, Creator. Immortality saves you the pain of death, but it gets boring after a while. I wouldn't say that. As time goes by we find new ways to entertain ourselves. TV and videogames weren't around 100 years ago. So what don't we have that'll exist 100 years from now? So just on a basis of humanity creating more and more things to entertain ourselves makes it a bit less boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirit of DMG Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Impossible to die, and you can't even be injured? Come now, if the only reason you do something is because there's no risk, the you're not being manly! That being said, I would love to become immortal, though I'd pass up on not being able to be injured. After all, any life, even an immortal life, is completely boring without running any risks.

iCherry Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Immortality and invincibility sound awesome, the hell are you guys talking about it being boring? You sound like one of those hotblooded fighter types of anime protagonists. Seriously, just use your immortal life to play video games and sit on the internet forever.As Achilles said: "The Gods envy us because we're mortal; because any moment could be our last; everything is more beautiful."

The Warden Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I talk about it from a purely human perspective. Really, I find there is some inherent excitement in dying, I want to know, to feel what it is truly like. It eludes my mind to know what it feels like to no longer exist, which, I find, would be an interesting experience. I find immortality is the cowards answer to the fear of death. To become immortal is a very silly way to no longer fear him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
