Is immortality a bitch?

Time: Present
Question For: All nations
Question: So, you lot are all much older than humans ever get to be. You've seen a lot of changes as the world turns. Things keep getting invented, social norms change-- how have you dealt with that? What inventions/morays/expectations shocked you the most? Do you sometimes wish things were how they used ( Read more... )

Well, I don't know what it's like to have such a short life for now, so I'm used to going through changes. It's not like they happen instantly... It's always a relaxing transition between times. As for inventions... Well, the main ones, I guess. Airplanes, automobiles- Huge transportation things like that. Imagine going hundreds of years with no means to fly, and then suddenly... You can. It's an odd feeling, but I assume the people felt somewhat the same.

I liked... The 1990's the most. I really did. It was peaceful, and I seemed to be doing fine. Now... Things are a bit tougher, but not nearly as tough as the past.

The Power Rangers changed my life! I don't know how I even lived without them!

I do! Everything always feels like it's moving too fast. I can't close my eyes without everyone suddenly upping their game! One second I'm listening to the radio which..okay when it came out there was nothing but Nazi propaganda, BUT! I wake up suddenly to find people are playing music out of something I could probably swallow without chewing. NOT THAT I WOULD!! It's like, WHEN THE HELL DID THAT HAPPEN!

One day Walmart is just full of socks, the next they have TVs hanging from the ceiling and interactive this and that!

I just got to adapt, try to constantly keep my eyes open! I mean, LIGHTS! Those were FANTASTIC! Electricity is amazing! I'm still in shock and now they've got things you can touch!

The one thing I don't like though is guns. Now anyone can kill willynilly, there's no talent to it. Swordsmanship is a gentleman's sport.
