Question

What would the World be like if Gunpowder was never invented?
I was thinking about this for awhile. If gun powder was never discovered it would seem like the world would be more chaotic then it is now and we would not have most of our most advanced tech. People would have have to rely on swords and arrows which would make controling a large empire harder since everyone virtually has the same technology.

Answer

Thats a very good question that involves alot of knowledge on the history of warfare, technology, and human society. Obviously we cant really determine how the world would be today if gunpowder were never discovered. There would be another genre of weapons created... we wouldnt still have just swords and bows. i would guess war would be alot longer, and alot bloodier, just like it was before gunpowder, but you never really know.

If you could live forever, what would you live for?
i know thats a Twilight quote, but really, what would you personally live for?

Answer

Human progression, easy. Im curious to see how humanity shapes and evolves other the next couple of hundred years. Are we really living in a constant loop, or is this an over simplification to try and make sense of something that you cant make sense of? Id just be interested to see the progression of technology, science, art, trends, and politics. brbrEdit You all realize that if you live forever, your family, friends and loved ones will all eventually die... right?

Answer

Whoa amp eeek! Just got a flashback of a pimple I had that was the size of a mountain! brbrI did sports but I would have taken them more seriously.brbrI would have planned for the futurecollege better. brbrI would have tried to break out of my depression n shyness.brbrBut......I say that I would make those changes but I was just too depressed and shy to make that effort back then. I just wanted out. Having said what changes Id make, Im not sure I would change anything if I could, really. All the pain of those times really shaped me into someone Im really happy with today. Somehow those obstacles were necessary.brbrUr on a roll! good questions.
