Just a thought, if you are immortal, you still feel pain yes? And if you were invincible, likewise would you feel any pain?Prometheous said:
OT: I'd probably want to be invincible. Life would get boring eventually.
Immortality without some measure of invincibility or otherwise improved durability isn't immortality. Circumstances beyond your control will always have the power to end your life, and random chance determines when that may or may not happen. As an immortal you're rolling the same dice as everyone else - you're just doing it for a potentially longer period of time. Eventually you'll hit snake eyes, and a plane will crash into your house.
I'd choose invincibility because there's no chance I'd be cheated out of my gift.

Invincibility, no doubt. Immortality would get really depressing after a while. Plus, I would be the ultimate super-soldier. I'd use a nuke as a melee weapon. I guess the main reason I want to be invincible is... well, so I can be an idiot.
Immortal, maybe if I lived long-enough I could invent a starman and fix my other problem. Music would get annoying though.
well actually, considering you invincible you'll probably outlive most everyone you know. think about it, you'd never get sick and no matter what happened you'd always be in perfect health. you would even be able to kill your self because, depending on what kinda of invincibility this is, the bullet will bounce off your fore head, or you'll just heal up and spit it out.blaze96 said:

i say probably because it really depends on the details. if invincibility means i also get superhuman strength, then i pick that.
if immortality means i don't age physically past, oh- twenty three or somewhere around there and i don't die of illness then i'd pick that.
I would pick invincible, because being immortal would be terrible. All the relationships you make would end in about a century and after a few centuries time, either all relationships you make will be hollow, or you might fall into crushing depression because everyone you ever know will die and leave you behind. Though, if other people were immortal too, then maybe immortal.
well, immortal means that you'll never die, so really what you mean by that is either ageless or just protected from death by old age.
invincible means you can't be harmed, so you can't experience pain or recive damage.
i would choose immortal if it meant eternal youth as well, looking like charlie buckets grandparents for all eternity telling people that they smell like peanuts would be the very definition of miserable existance.
One other important question, would i be able to have hairhuts and shave and stuff if i were invincible? i think the importance of that can't be overstated.

This. I would never want to outlive everyone I knew. Imagine the horror of watching everyone you love die while you sit and wait as the world become more and more unfamiliar.Aby_Z said:
I'd much rather be able to be invincible and live through an accident.
The idea of living -forever-... just doesn't sit right... it sounds terrifying. At first there's the sorrow of -everyone- dying around you... than that feeling gets boring, and then what? What do you do when you're -bored- with emotions?
Off topic: my favorite quote regarding Immortality is "At first I went insane, but than I got bored of that, too."

it is kind of a hard question. invincible, i die of old age, but , as a great man once said, on a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone becomes zero. if i live for a billion years, chances are at some point i will be in a car crash or airplane failure. ultimately though, i wanna live forever.
Agreed. Plus if I were to be immortal my mind would be destroyed anyways due to the amount of time alive and the increasing number of jag-offs in the universe.Aby_Z said:
I would be immortal, then when they find a way to time travel I would decide whether or not to go back in time, and if I ultimately hate my exsistence I would tell my past self to just choose invincibility. Everything would be erased from my memory at that point so it's like nothing happened.
Do you mean immortality or biological immortality? Immortality is eternal life- infinite life- it CANNOT and will not end.
Biological immortality would mean no Senescence, and nothing more, like that cool jellyfish. You can die, it just won't be caused by age.
If you mean the former, I'd pick it. If you mean the latter, I'd pick invincibility.
Either way I'd become a superhero.

Hmmm...Immortal. Because the idea of living forever really appeals to me. The idea that I could perfect all my skills and be whoever I wanted to be.
So yeah, Invincibility is cool but Immortality is cooler (IMO).

ahhhh see, see what you did just now, you've made yourself a paradox!Agent_Nahmen_Jayden said:
if you go back in time to tell yourself to pick invinciblity, then you won't have lived forever and made a time machine, therefore you can't have gone back to tell yourself to pick invincibilty. therefore you will be immortal afterall.
to quote the big bang theory, "this is a classic rookie time travel mistake".
