1. Kill several peopleCODE-D said:Yeah that was my point, I only gain a year so whats the point if Im locked up for more than that.
Funny you should mention that, I am in the army. It's not my job to kill gangsters and it's not a fair generalization to consider us all to be hardened killing machines.dogstile said:Joining the army would probably help you out with that whole "being hard to kill gangsters" thing while the moral implications are thrown out the window if you're doing it for what you believe is right.Goofguy said:snip
For your first point, I wasn't generalizing, I was assuming if someone joined up under this whole immortality thing to kill people, they'd try to join a combat regiment. Failing that (because hell, I don't know how the army works) I hear America has many places to learn how to shoot. Many options of learning how to make it easier to kill said gangsters.Goofguy said:Funny you should mention that, I am in the army.

If you believe killing criminals to extend your lifespan is right, all the power to you. I'll just never be convinced to do so.
Frankly, i cannot speak for the others but being a riflemen was the only thing i was good at, if i could earn years of my life by doing what i am good at you can bet i would get involved someplace where i could, be it working for a government taking out terrorists or allying with a government in exile in Africa taking care of the current dictator.Seneschal said:I have a feeling (or rather "hope that I'm not surrounded by despicable selfish sociopaths") a lot of people just read the poll and not the opening post. Jesus Christ, people.
You can hardly call a small lump of cells a living person, now can you?Keoul said:Heh I think after too long people would start to look like your avatar OP.
Question about it though, would abortion doctors live forever?
Unless 52.7% of this forum consists of riflemen, then a lot of people are overestimating their ability and willingness to take another life.DeepReaver said:Frankly, i cannot speak for the others but being a riflemen was the only thing i was good at, if i could earn years of my life by doing what i am good at you can bet i would get involved someplace where i could, be it working for a government taking out terrorists or allying with a government in exile in Africa taking care of the current dictator.Seneschal said:I have a feeling (or rather "hope that I'm not surrounded by despicable selfish sociopaths") a lot of people just read the poll and not the opening post.

That's not immortality then, so it's not a catch, it's a totally different concept.SlaveNumber23 said:However, there is a catch. To gain immortality you must first murder a person. Every time you murder someone your immortality will be extended by 1 year. You cannot pay or persuade someone else to commit the murder for you and you cannot set up a trap to kill your victim, you must directly and personally end their life. Killing someone with a terminal illness or who is over 80 does not count.
