Mitch Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Deus Ex Machina [/i] [B]Surely not.. once you avoid one mistake, everything will have changed and you won't know what to expect any more :p You'd have to do it several times to get it right [/B][/QUOTE] [color=red] Actually, I do believe it would be not many times, but almost infinite times. Because, a moment wouldn't be the same exactly, our brains cannot remember every surreal, vivid point of something, and going along with that, a moment is never relived in the exact same manner, posture, thought process, and so on. Also, the new reaction you would cause in a situation would lead to a reaction of that situation to a seemingly different reaction and situation which would lead to reactions and situations from the other situations newly-made parameters and definitions. So basically, it would be an endless, spiralling paradox. So, baically, you'd just be ebbing in time, and just screwing around with pasts, and making them newly-forged pasts, which in turn cause advents upon the future and many consequences and other actions which never spiralled into your life and time on earth. Which would, eventually, lead you back to where you'd go back in time again, and start the process all over again, only in a different situation for you to mess with. As I said, one big, spiralling paradox. Sorry if I lost you there, heh. This such subject of messing with time really enthralls me. [/color]
James Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by GinnyLyn [/i] [B][color=royal blue]In theory that could work. But James, there are still some answers that none of us have found yet, and not all answers are ones we like or agree with. And having all the answers doesn't make life perfect, IMO. Like a video game--just because you know everything that's going to happen the second time around doesn't mean that you'll avoid problems--or unhappiness. Just IMO--don't ban me, please! [/color] [/B][/QUOTE] [color=#507AAC]I have a feeling there was some underlying message there... Let's not get [i]too[/i] technical here. All I meant was that I could avoid some of the larger mistakes of my life. I used the word perfect because I already love my life; I grew up with a good family, good friends, a good education...but by doing it again, I could avoid some of the nastier events. That's all I meant. Let's not over-analyze anything here. ~_^[/color]

I suppose it all depends how picky you are.. if you were after absolute perfection then you'd be taking a while (where "infinity" is a while... a LOOONG while), but if you're willing to settle for something high enough to meet your standards but low enough to be less than infinite, then you're sorted ^^ [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by James [/i] [B][color=#507AAC]I could avoid some of the nastier events.[/color] [/B][/QUOTE] Yeah but the really nasty stuff is what builds you up... Much as I'd love to go back and stop myself from doing what I did at my last job, so I wouldn't get sacked, I know that if I wasn't sacked, I wouldn't have the faith I have today, which is far stronger than any concepts of strength I had before.
GinnyLyn Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 [color=royal blue][spoiler]Beh, I don't know why I bother trying to participate in discussions. Everyone seems to freak when I come on the scene...V_V;[/spoiler] Anyways, I still say what James said is nice in theory, but... This is not something brought on by my faith (if that's what's bothering you, James :)), but [i]my opinion[/i]. I have had multiple instances where I had all the answers and everything under control--and I [i]still[/i] get thrown a curve ball. Besides, life is interesting when you don't know what to expect next! Like Deus said, the roughest times are the times that build our character (no matter how much they suck :rolleyes:.). *falls off of soapbox* OWWWW!!!! Heh, back on topic--anything that flies. Preferrably a griffon, but Puck is cool, too. I just want to be able to [i]fly[/i]. [/color]
Guest Matt Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 [color=red][b]I would be God. Smiting the ignorant would be so very fun.[/b][/color]
GinnyLyn Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 [color=royal blue]*giggle* Everyone who wants to be God, raise your hand! *a forest of hands rises up instantly* oO; Well, what fun is [i]that?[/i] Ken: I could be the GOD of Gods. Everyone else: Me too! *Ginny dies of laughter*[/color]
Chaos Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 If I died...I'd want to come back as some type of soul-stealing bastard in which whenever I come around 'normal' human life, they all suddenly hate me and want to leave. ...Wait, I am that. I'd want to be the character 'Blank' from that old BTAS story or 'Demos' in the MHP storyline...and actually BE in the MHP perspective. I mean, Hell, why not? Both are immortal and omnipowerful and get to blow up things at random. :p
PiroMunkie Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 [color=indigo][size=1]I would want to come back as a woman, lol. That would be rather interesting. Just to see how things are from both sides. But yeah, I have actually thought about this before, and that is what I came up with. ^-^[/color][/size]
Semjaza Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 When I die I want to be dead, and that will be the end of it. No coming back as this or that. No being a ghost. Just dead. Reincarnation is something I never think about either way. I don't really think about death either. If I die, I die. I can't do anything about it, and I'm not going to dwell on the thought.

Kaede-san Posted January 31, 2003 Author Posted January 31, 2003 Well no matter what you become I the Chimera wil still kick your butts so nah!:p Kairi:HAHA Ginny!

HAHAHAHA! ~~~~~~~~~~~ -.- i'm done with my "Fantasy child" act.............for now.......
BabyGirl Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 [color=deeppink]I'd come back as a fairy because they're beautiful and mysterious. What girl wouldn't want to be those two things? Plus, they have wings and can fly and wear pretty clothes. That would be a fun life :D [/color]
Cora Jane 2 Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 Piro... you are crazy... but i think that when we shall meet again irl, since i never see you... and if i remember i will make a comment to you...lol... but yeah, then again, so would my other half... haha... ttyl

[/color] [/B][/QUOTE] [color=#507AAC]No, your religion does not bother me. It never has. :) You and I agree. I do think life is interesting when you don't know what to expect; I never said otherwise. I'm just saying that it would be nice to live my life again with a better knowledge of certain issues. That's all. I mean, this is only a theoretical thread anyway; I don't believe in reincarnation at all. lol So, once again...let's not over analyze it or get too serious. It's just a fun thing to think about -- you know, what kind of life you might choose if you had the opportunity. :)[/color]

I'd come back to life as a Godslayer and kill everyone who wants to be a God besides myself. ^_-[/color]
Lady Macaiodh Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 [COLOR=darkblue]come back after death? you people are nuts! who'd want to hang around [i]this[/i] dimension any longer than necessary? lol when i die, i'm going to the other realm & not coming back, heheh. j/k, if reincarnation was true, i'd just keep coming back in all kinds of forms (male, female, rich, poor, gay, straight, etc.), but i'd want to keep my past life memories. i want to see how it feels to be everyone else. that way, i'd have true empathy.[/COLOR]
muetank Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 if i was to come back after i die id want to be as nemesis from resident evil 3. that wold be awsome. going around eating people and then haveing the people i eat turn in to zombies. :naughty:
Makai Kite Posted February 1, 2003 Posted February 1, 2003 After I die, I want to be a fox or the cat on CWB's avatar! Foxes are my favorite animal, and that cat is just so darn cute!
tursi Posted February 1, 2003 Posted February 1, 2003 If i died i would want to be a unisus (half unicorn half pegasus, refrenced from "dream a little dream by peirs anthony, highly recomened for dreamers.) or a fallen angel. Flying is my specialty.

[/COLOR] [/B][/QUOTE] [color=royal blue]Actually, that's a good point. I sure as heck don't want to be stuck on this earth any longer than I have to. It sucks. Majorly. Heh.

Rhys Mayiessen Posted February 1, 2003 Posted February 1, 2003 [color=navy]If I died I would want to become an elf but since I don't think that is possible I would have to say a Cheetah! They're my favorite animals! Ah too bad I couldn't become an elf!^^[/color]
Boba Fett Posted February 1, 2003 Posted February 1, 2003 [COLOR=green]When I die, I want to become an invisible [SPOILER]Phantom[/SPOILER]. I would sit around all day in top secret government instillations, watching the real version of events unfold. All the information... *drools* [/COLOR]
Spikey Posted February 2, 2003 Posted February 2, 2003 Well It's kind of hard to choose. But I've narrowed it down to two slim chocies. A monkey, and a lazy dog that can type to people on the internet. I've chose the dog. Reason being a stupid one. I never want to leave ob. My dog's lazy but stupid, so I wouldn't want to be her. She watches T.V. though.lol Monkey was one of my stupid choices because I alwas wanted to swing from trees, and make loud screeches, and do all sorts of stuff humans can't do. But the dog sounds suitibal for me. Then I'll never leave this place.
Kaede-san Posted February 4, 2003 Author Posted February 4, 2003 I change my mind when I die I want to rule Hell! MWAHAHAHA! or i'll go to heaven and live there either way...............MUWAHAHAHHA!
Talon Posted February 5, 2003 Posted February 5, 2003 [color=teal]If I died.....I'd like to become a wolf. Unfeeling, hunting only be instinct, killing whatever creature had the guts to walk in on my territory. If not a wolf, then a fire elemental.[/color]
Na'dou Posted February 5, 2003 Posted February 5, 2003 If I died, I'd want to be Ursala, then when I died as her, I'd want to be Sally! Take a look at my banner and guess which Sally? You might not know her, heck I don't know....If not those two, I'd want to be a very different Renamon...Yes, I said Renamon...
