Poll: Invincible Or Immortal

[teqrevisited]

Immortality. I would be able to end it all if I grew tired of living and there are more things in life that you can reasonably do with a normal lifespan.

 

[Nouw]

Invincible would be fun as hell. You'd be like a SuperHero!

Invincible. Living forever would be worse than any hell.

You could kill yourself. you just wouldn't age.

Immortality.

No, that's eternal youth. Immortality is simply never dieing. That's why we're mortals; mortals die.

I agree with Aby_Z. Although I wish the OP did Eternal Youth, that'd make the choice much harder. Also, where's your Avatar from Aby? I can't keep my eyes off it.

 

[peduncle]

whichever one lets me jump out a building and still be alive, preferably with no pain/broken bones

No, that's eternal youth. Immortality is simply never dieing. That's why we're mortals; mortals die.

Thats not what the OP stipulated.
"Immortality takes death by old age out of the picture"
I'm simply going with the thread, rather than the semantics of its real definition.

I direct you to this portion of the OP:

So if you had to choose, would you live forever or live a life without injury (and why)?

 

[molester jester]

Being immortal without being invincible would be horrible, If you end up in a car accident you might have to live forever as a quadriplegic. Think about it Spending thousands of years completely unable to move.

immortal, b/c i'm god damn scottish and b/c Queen rocks

I am immortal, I have inside me blood of kings - yeah - yeah
I have no rival, no man can be my equal
Take me to the future of you all

Born to be kings, princes of the universe
Fighting and free
Got your world in my hand
I'm here for your love and I'll make my stand
We were born to be princes of the universe

 

[Zeromaeus]

Immortal as long as I stop aging.
If I were to keep aging then neither.
Imagine having to die by literal brain death.
You'd have to wait until your brain is dead enough to longer function to die.

Invincible. I'd enjoy jumping off a building and not getting hurt, but I don''t want to live forever. We all know that the apocalypse will have to happen at some point, and if you're still alive after it then you've got a pretty boring eternity to look forward to.

 

[AgDr_ODST]

No question about it. I'd go with being invincible so long as it meant no pain but I do die of old age. If so then I'd get to do the one thing that Spike says not to do reenact a good number of the deaths from a thousand ways to die. Plus can you imagine how much you'd be able to fuck with peoples heads if for instance you did a skydive sans parachute over NYC and went SPLAT! in the middle of time square before getting up like nothing happened and be like "whats up" before catching the train over to brooklyn

 

[darkgoonos]

Imortality I have the rest of my life to take over the world.
Plus I'am a masochist I love pain.

 

[mastermarty]

immortal. if you don't want to live anymore, you kill yourself. I just like to keepm the options open.

 

[Infernai]

Immortality, being wrinkly isn't fun.

 

[blankedboy]

Invulnerability
Because it sounds cooler than invincibility.

 

[Mochme]

I would say immortal cause i could kill my self when i get bored and if i was invincible if i lost all my limbs I would have to live with that with no way out!

 

[2012 Wont Happen]

I would hate to live forever, I would choose invincible.

 

[Capt. Crankypants]

I'd choose immortality anyway, but however, just wondering if the proposed 'Invincibility' also equated to supernatural ability. If not, with all the dicking around you're likely to do, you'd probably spend alot of your un-natural life in a prison cell. Didn't think that through did we. Remember, even things like scaling and leaping off buildings is illegal. Not to the point where you'd be imprisoned for it, more like just a fine, but it's just an example. You're likely to want to do some weird shit knowing you couldnt be killed/feel pain.

 

[airwolfe591]

Invincibility hands down, I don't mind the idea of growing old and in fact prefer that to anything else. I'd just like being invincible so I can do the most ridiculous stuff I could ever imagine and more. Remember the phrase, bringing a knife to a gun fight? I'd do it.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Invincible. I want to fight Bears with my own two hands!

[sub][sub]besides, living forever would be boring anyway[/sub][/sub]

 

[Jewrean]

I chose Immortality under the condition that I can't die from starvation and disease. If I am indeed immortal in the way that you describe, then at any point I decide I want to throw in the towel I can ask someone to shoot me or whatever. I didn't choose invincibility because I don't live a dangerous life-style. It would be great to be immortal and see the world, there's so much to experience.

 

[Kimarous]

Invincibility. Immortality is great until you get sick of life, but who can complain about a lack of injury?

I remember one time I concocted a wish for "Eternally youthful, physically impervious immortality that lasts until such a time that I grow weary of life and, with all my will, desire to surrender unto death." How's THAT for covering all my bases? (^_^)
