Reincarnation

    OK lets for a moment forget any philosophical discussions on the afterlife.

    Lets for a moment imagine that once you die you are reincarnated into another living creature. Past present or future (I personally believe that time is a variable that we simply percieve as a constant).

    Lets for a moment assume that we have a choice in the matter. We can choose our reincarnation.

    What would you be. Who would you be? What would you do?

    Myself (as stated in another thread) would wish to be an eagle. To soar high above the land. To hunt, to be free.

    What about you?

    Didn't relativity dictate that time is a variable anyway?

    As for reincarnation... An ape, far in the future, like in planet of the apes, where I can control and punish the foolish humans for their misuse of the planet.

    I was gonna say eagle... now I'm caught between a dolphin or a velociraptor...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭TerrorFirmer


    Is it just animals?

    Or human?

    Hmmm, lets see. I would like to be.....it depends on if the cycle continues ie you reincarnated everytime you die. I'd go with a horse. I'd spend all day running about, then back to the ranch with my enormus horse penis to have fun with the ladies of the farm (other horses of course ;) )

    I would say Leopard or a polar bear


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,787 ✭✭✭prospect


    I would come back as my mothers dog.

    What a life,
    Sleep, eat, ****e, sleep.......
    Sleeps in the house, has her own couch in the sitting room, (the one nearest the fire), doesn't get scraps oh no she gets mince fried especially and so on.......

    What a life...

    (P.S. I'm not bitter)

    I had thought of that, but the whole ****ting in one place, having a collar, no freedom....I'd say it would get tedious fast. And what about Nuetering!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,126 ✭✭✭][cEMAN**


    Can be a person as well. I think i'd rather still be an eagle though - less problems.

    i'd like to be a shark.

    It's the perfect killing machine with few concerns above eating, ****ing and humping.

    ahh the simple life.

    plus i'd have at least 4 films made about me.

    Yes, but 2 of which are a shambles.

    If it was an animal, I'd be some tropical bird. A human, I'd be......quick, somebody name me a famous lesbian that isn't Ellen DeGeneres!

    Dolphin sounds good to me. Sometime in the past or future where there's less meddling humans about.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,316 ✭✭✭✭the_syco


    Lemme see... either a shark, an eagle or a pilot who flew in WW2. the first two are predators, both live to hunt, and hunt to live.

    The third, "lives to fly, flies to live" (Iron Maiden song). Preferably an American, as I'd have a higher chance of continuing to fly after the war, and possibly a chance to fly some X-Planes:cool::cool::cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,440 ✭✭✭✭Piste


    A butterfly- because no-one suspects the butterfly!





    I'd like to be a kangaroo.

    I thought time was a constant yesterday, but proved myself wrong by waking up this morning :)

    I'm tempted to go with being a dolphin but I don't really like eating fish so that kind of rules that out.

    id want to be a bird , just flyin around having a laugh , peckin people at the bus stop , dumpin on people i dont like , hanging out in the clouds , id love it!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 310 ✭✭modular


    Human tbh.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 432 ✭✭Daelus


    I guess I'd want to be an eagle or some kind of bird that wouldn't be eaten immediately.

    If not that, then a tiger. Roaming free in the grasslands, eating some gazelle or whatever it is they eat.

    Anything's better than a human! Except for, perhaps, a bug of some sort. I wouldn't want to be a bug. :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,739 ✭✭✭Naos


    Hmmm...
    A lion. King of the Jungle and all that. Although a dolphin would be pretty cool, especially the whole recreational sex game they enjoy.
