If you could become immortal

[survivor999]

And eternally young, by becoming a vampire, even if that would mean you have to kill people and drink their blood to survive, WOULD YOU DO IT? If so, how would you organize your life? I would drink the blood of baddies, people who are powerful scum and are worst than vampires anyway.
So, WOULD YOU DO IT?

[pooja]

1. no, I would not choose to remain immortal on earth. I think it would

be way too long.

[Jade Fox]

2. Line from the movie Exorcist III.....

"You wouldn't like immortality. You'd get bored."

"No. I've got hobbies."

[Totally Committed]

3. Who the hell would want to be immortal on THIS planet?

No, thanks. When my time comes, I go willingly and happily, thank you.

I feel I've already seen and experienced enough of this place already. :scared:

Plus, I don't even kill insects... and I'm gonna live by killing people??? I don't think so.

4. Would the act of killing prey be a necessity?

What is it about the blood that would keep one alive? Is it just the hemoglobin? Would synthetic blood suffice? How about animal blood? I'd be hard pressed to pass up an opportunity to be immortal and watch history unfold, but I would not become a killer in order to do so, for what would my life be worth if it required the sacrifice of so many others?

[survivor999]

9. Oh, I would not know the details.

It's just the dilemma in a number of vampire movies (like Near Dark).

[tenshi816]

36. You're definitely a Democrat.

You have too much curiosity, too many questions and too much compassion and concern about other people not to be.

[rzemanfl]

5. And people thought my post should be in the lounge. My

response is that if you could become immortal you might live long enough to see this country overcome the shame that * has cast upon it.

[jobycom]

11. Someone always thinks every thread should be in the Lounge

They should have a bot automatically post "This thread should be in the Lounge" whenever someone starts a thread in GD.

[Kutjara]

6. I'd use my vampiric powers of persuasion...

...to get a list of all registered Republican voters from some functionary at the RNC, then only feed on Repugs for the rest of time. No moral dilemma there.

[racaulk]

8. LOL

I was thinking the same thing! :evilgrin:

[survivor999]

14. Ahahahaha!

:)

[w13rd0]

29. But then you'd be getting second-hand used blood....

...it's like the old dilema, can vampires feed off blood from leeches and mosquitos?

[survivor999]

30. LOL!

[BooScout]

7. I don't believe in the death penalty ....

Whether it's given by a jury or an individual. Nor do I wish to sit in judgement of who is good and bad.....unless they are politicians.......they are all bad,

[jobycom]

12. Good. So you won't judge us vampires when we start feeding off

Repubs, then, right? :)

[survivor999]

26. Yum!

but I suspect Rove's blood tastes bitter :)

[Speck Tater]

10. I'd rather be reincarnated. More variety, less stuck in a rut.

Face it, as we get older we get more and more bound by our habits as the rut of our life gets deeper and deeper. Do you really want to carry the emotional baggage of thousands of years along with you every day? Do you really want to become more set in your ways, and hardened in your attitudes? Wouldn't it be better to just get a fresh start in a new body every 100 years or so? And wouldn't it be better to be able to leave behind the old emotional baggage and the old cynical attitudes, or bitterness, or whatever your particular form of maladjustment is?

Nope. I like things just they way they are now with reincarnation. It's is a much more workable technique of immortality.

[survivor999]

13. Good questions...

Unclear if one would go crazy in the end. But I'd still do it though.

[holboz]

22. I agree with you - reincarnation is better

Every new life is a new opportunity to expand knowledge and strive towards bettering yourself thorugh a variety of life experiences.

I think it would be extremely boring to be the same person for eternity. Besides that i don't like the sight of blood. ;)

GREAT poll question, though. Thanks!

[treestar]

15. I would if it just makes them vampires too.

That was how it worked on Dark Shadows.

[PassingFair]

16. This planet could not hold everyone if we were able

...to live forever.

Unless we stop reproducing.

Given the choice of immortality or
the creation of my beautiful children,
I choose the current circle of life
and death.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

17. Okay.... This has to be the STRANGEST poll I have ever seen here in GD...

But it was worth a grin!

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

18. I've Already Made That Decision. It Was Centuries Ago.......

hehehe

[survivor999]

20. LOL.

You're evil! :)

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

21. Rumor Has It.....

:rofl:

Just kidding. ;)

[oscar111]

19. REAL immortality , university research to get it

see my thread in Health forums

usually on the first page, look for my name under authors

three promising avenues of research

[survivor999]

27. Thanks.

Will do.

[oscar111]

46. welcome.

not many are even interested, oddly

[Exultant Democracy]

23. I'm a vegitarian, but what the hell

on the condition that if humanity ever got better nd there were no more really evil bastards around I would stake myself.

[cigsandcoffee]

24. Immortality would make life a bore, IMO. n/t

[lonestarnot]

25. ewww that sounds like it sucks.

[Liberal In Texas]

28. The GD is becoming more Loungy by the minute. n/t

[BlueCaliDem]

31. You BET I would! Plenty of bad actors in the world today to "feed my need"

...and I'd be doing mankind a GREAT service going after them all. :bounce:

I'd start with the Bilderberg annual get-togethers, then wipe out the Bohemian Grove 2000 members, then other "secret society" clubs before turning my attention to the WH, then work my way through Capitol Hill into both chambers of Congress, starting with the House.

When done there, I'd go after oil conglomerates' CEOs, and other mega corporations' executives all the while strongly urging those I choose to let live to give back to America all the wealth they'd stolen, and take care of the weakest among us.

Then I'd go GLOBAL! LOTS of "feeding" there to do!

Having eternity to do it in, I'd be a busy body nonetheless, but I'd be one of the happiest vampires this side of hell! :evilgrin:

[readmoreoften]

32. I'd be a robin hood vampire

I'd suck the blood of the BFEE, take their money, and deliver it to poor children.

[survivor999]

41. Way to go!

:)

[azurnoir]

33. Wonder what Randall Terrys blood would do? n/t

[mcscajun]

34. No, thanks. I'm ready to check out at any time.

And drinking blood? Gross.

[shadowknows69]

35. What can I say

Anne Rice had me wanting to be a vamp in high school. Bram Stoker, Bela Legosi, Christopher Lee. Long before that.

[DireStrike]

37. Vampires can still die.

It's not easy, but possible. So if you wanted to commit suicide, you could.

Unless you are a vegetarian/vegan, you already eat things that are more innocent than humans, and probably promote their torture as well by buying from corporate farms.

Not to encourage cannibalism or anything. It's not particularly healthy.

[grannylib]

38. Personally, I believe in an afterlife of immortality, and if I stayed

immortal in THIS world, I'd be separated from my daughter, my dad, my father-in-law, my grandparents, and everyone else I love who has gone before me...
So I'd pick "no."

But that's just me!

[Guava Jelly]

39. I would but only Republican blood as vile as it is

:)
it would be sort of a thinning of the herd..Take the stupid slow ones out

[Benfea]

40. What value would life have...

...if you got it by taking others? Meh, no thanks.

[Broken_Hero]

42. yep

I would go after baddies much like Lestat did(mostly)...:)

[wildhorses]

43. I work nights in an Emergency Room. There is BLOOD

all around me and I never see the light of day. Therefore I am already a vampire:evilgrin:


Trust me on this: Its not all its cracked up to be.

[Jamastiene]

44. Nope. I'm not a conservative.

I'm not into killing people and drinking their blood for power. :evilgrin:

On second thought, it might give me more time in my life to escape The Rock and go find a girlfriend.

[xchrom]

45. i'm conflicted.

my self righteous self says no.

but my other self says yes.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

47. My dear survivor999..........

Welcome to the Lounge, BTW.....

There is no way in hell that I would ever do this.......

I like reincarnation much better, thank you very much!

:hi:

[BreweryYardRat]

48. Nope.

I'd rather figure out another way to get hold of something close to immortality/eternal youth. Even if you fed on the worst of the worst until the end of humanity, I'd imagine it would get rather wearing.

Also, you've been watching way too much Blade the Series...that or reading too many bad vampire novels.
