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

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.
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? (^_^)

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:

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.
