If I used my telekinetic powers to trigger a nuclear weapons exchange between nations and be responsible for the deaths of millions all at once, would that count as one, or millions of years? Because yeah... I'd probably just do that.

Woah, is this a question asking if I want to become the god emperor of man? Anyways, this has a rather simple solution. I'll get a job being the guy who administers the poison to people on death row. It's still technically murder, just murder administered by the state, and since I'm the one directly taking their life by executing them, I get years extended onto mine. Then eventually if the Death sentence is gotten rid of, or I just get bored of that job, I'll use my immortality and telekinetic powers to become a super hero and kill wrongdoers. I mean, not all the time or with killing every single one, but as long as I get one guy a year for as long as I feel like living, I'm covered. I'll probably try to be Batman or something, using my extended life at peak physical condition to learn martial arts and immortality to be bullet proof and whatnot. The added benefit of seeing into the future or something like that would just be icing on the cake. Maybe I'll just join the army and be an awesome sniper that can curve bullets or something with my mind.

Although this sorta hinges on the specifics of the immortality and telekinetic powers. Like do I just live forever and am still weak to being killed myself, or am I like Highlander immortal, where I only die if certain conditions are met. Also what kind of telekinetic powers are we talking here? Can I just read minds or see the future, or are we talking full-on psychonauts? Cause if I just can read minds and can still be killed normally, then I'll stick with the executioner job, and make all the money I could possibly want being awesome at poker with whatever basic telekinetics I get. Or maybe win the lottery, I dunno.

Oh, and one more thing, do we just drop dead once we go a year without killing, or do we simply cease being immortal and start aging again and lose our powers? Of course there's also the question of whether we can use our powers to kill people with only our mind. Like can I just blow up someone's head from across the room? Across the country? Or do we have to do it manually?

Not the murder part, I just don't feel like being immortal.

Well. This is the one place where being a Christian makes things really easy. No I would not, because eventually I want to go to the big happy place in the sky.

My happy place had better have kittens. I'm just saying.
And God said: Let there be kittens

You could use your telekinetic powers to stop anyone from locking you up.
Only while I'm awake. I can't be on the run my entire life, now can I?
Well why not use the powers to break out after being locked up?
Then people would still be out to get me while I slept. The social consequences of being a known telekinetic murder would suck anyway.

Except you're immortal, and as such, immune to their shenanigans.

sounds good to me. now i'll actually have an excuse to stab people randomly.
also if i ever get tired of living then i can just stop killing people.

It's a win win(except for the dead people)!

C'mon, telekinesis !
You can kill without getting caught! You only have to kill once a year... if you're smart you do a bunch a them now and then are free for a while.

But it is essential to stay anonymous... if people think you are immortal, you're going to be in trouble! In a cell, in a weird pharmaceutical company-owned Nazi secret lab. You can't even be caught doing something small.... if ever they have your fingerprints and then they catch you 100 years later... you're screwed.

I'll just move to america and become an exicutioner. Did i win?
Most states have done away with the death penalty, and others that haven't never use it...besides Texas. Sometimes I can't help but wonder if everything you guys know about the US you've learned from movies?

You know, that's not much of a catch, there are a lot of people on my "would kill" list, and I'm not that bad a person... certain political figures, misguiding religious leaders... many many people who harm other people, or make the world a generally worse place through their continued existence.

I could live forever, providing that greed, malignant ambition, and hate, stick around to consume people, and hurt others.

I'm half and half on the idea.

On one hand I could start being a vigilante and start killing villains for truth and justice, I could end wars with my powers.

On the other hand is that I have to kill to sustain my powers and would gain one hell of a rep, and I would piss off the big man upstairs.

Eeh, I'll get Immortality when I die thank you.

Are you saying that nothing I can say, will change your mind? If you say that, you shouldn't be on the internet. There are going to be people on the internet that disagree with you, there are going to be times that your beliefs are questioned and challenged, and if you stick to the same beliefs for the rest of your life, then you don't develop as a person.
This topic I will not accept this is not black and white. No nothing on this topic you can say to make me think otherwise. On. This. Topic. I am a quite open minded person the first conversation I had on this web sight was about not understanding why someone liked something so I asked I kind of get it now. I am just saying for this there is nothing anyone can say that will make me think otherwise. On THIS.

I want immortality, not the kind the OP is offering but immortality nonetheless. Yes, I know it would be a nightmare, but I can't help my curious nature; I just want to know what happens next.

Fuck pizza huts $10 Dinner Box! All this fucking captchacas done is make me hate pizza hut and consider finding a new forum to frequent.

There's plenty of pedophiles, rapists, murders, and other scum that I could see myself easily dispatching.

And ya know what?
I think I'd sleep better because of it.

I don't even need the catch. Everyone has to die eventually, and I think we'd all get tired of living century after century in an earthly purgatory. Living forever would suck, watching all of your friends and family die around you. Imagine how lonely that would be...
