I'm not believing in nonsense. When they cure death and we're in our 200s, I'll be out smoking cigars, enjoying hot sex orgies, and playing Counter Strike for real while you'll be at home worrying about your health and freaking out that second hand smoke will kill you at the age of 915,278 instead of the average of 995,562.

    I was being purposely absurd about shooting people in the face to prove a point.

    But since you would actually play counterstrike IRL if these nanobots were invented, I'd gladly take the opposing side to your team.

    When (not if) I win, I'll emphatically take over those sex parties, but leave the cigars and smoke (not really my thing).

    You really think technology will make you immortal. I bet my mortal life that you didn't take a STEM degree. You really are a delusional joke.

    It's a hypothetical and it's making you hopping mad, jumping all around it. It's a moral issue.

    You know what? Your right, when someone's mad it is a moral issue. When your face gets shot, and you mad about it, it is not a question of fact but a moral question.

    Shooting a gun is one thing, the trajectory of the bullet is another thing.

    Smoking is not just you. Because of the public effects of smoking, I will be affected and I should be asked to consent. If you see my consent or lack thereof to you smoking as a moral issue than I see your non consent to your face being shot as a moral issue to be corrected.
