I would love to be able to see the begining of the 22nd century, but I would be 110 by then. I wouldn't mind being 110 is technology is advanced enough to allow and old man to live confortably. But I would feel sort cut if I didn't at least live until the 2070s, which would be my 80 somethings. I think it's exciting that I might live until then, and the technology we will have

Hmm...2010

I'm going to live forever.

I hate myself and want to die.

What about those that believe in reincarnation?

I believe we will make time-machines soon.  If that is the case, then want to somehow want to die sometime in the 1920's, but with enough money for a car, House with irrigation, a telephone, and air-conditioning!

I'm going to live until 2040.  I just hope I am able to live well.

Until I die.

Until Superflykid2008 joins the boards as a member, perhaps even beyond that.

I wanna party till it's 1999  8)

Oh wait a second...    :-\\

I'm with Al.  I hate myself and I want to die...in 2048!
By then I won't have stopped hating myself per se, but I won't be able to remember why I hate myself, so I'll give it up and die in piece!

I love life,and I take the challenges that are handed to me.

This is a long shot, but I'd like to make it to 2076 so I could be around for the tricentennial, if everything holds together that long.

I'd be 105.  :o :o :o

You'll have Trig Palin pushing your wheelchair!

I'll be 102,you beat me by 3 years.

You'll have Trig Palin pushing your wheelchair!


Oh geez, that would be a helluva ride!  :o :o :o

My luck I'd have Parkinson's on top of that.  :P

100.

2069!  :D

2069!  :D


Which would make you how old?  ???

Depending on which month I croaked, 98 or 99.

Why not 100?

Because 2069 sounds funnier than 2070.

How about 2121?

Until I die.


Excellent answer

How about 2121?


Actually it doesn't matter, I just want to be around when they finally invent invisibility cloaks.  :D

or how about flying cars? ???

Maybe 'til the year 2525.

But really...I hope to live 'til 2082 or 2083, but I have to be as active as George Burns who lived to be 100. (with someone who had a 95-year-old great-grandma who just died and a 91-year-old grandma...there's a chance).

My grandfather lived to be 100.  At his centennial birthday party, he gave a little speech.  Somebody asked him how it felt to be a hundred.  He paused for a moment and said:

"Well...I wouldn't recommend it!"

;D

I would like to be immortal.

Then you would have no use for the subjunctive tense.

That means that nothing would kill me.

Next year!

Next year!


But how do you know what you're going to die from?  ???

Actually if you're lucky, that may be true. If scientist make the right connections with the Human Genome project and continue to stretch out the lifespan, one could live indefinitely. Of course that's barring things like falling off cliffs, running into buses, etc.


or being run over by a Pathmark cart. :D

The thread asks to what year one would like to live, not what year one would like to die.
If I don't live until next year, I certainly wont' make it until 2059!

2074.

I want to live until the Singularity, but failing that, I'll settle for being able to save the contents of my mind onto a machine and upload it into a new body whenever the current one wears out.

"The Bitchun Society has had much experience with restores from backup -- in the era of the cure for death, people live pretty recklessly. Some people get refreshed a couple dozen times a year. Not me. I hate the process. Not so much that I won't participate in it. Everyone who had serious philosophical conundra on that subject just, you know, died, a generation before. The Bitchun Society didn't need to convert its detractors, just outlive them."
- Cory Doctorow, Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom, Chapter 3... (Link goes to complete novel, from the author's website.)

I'd like to live to be 100 (2086) if possible and if the world doesn't implode in 2012.

Or at least long enough to publish a book, get married, have a kid, put her in pageants and watch her graduate college and have a family of her own.


And meet Marlon Jackson before he loses his cuteness.  :)
