A "line" does.
A "line segment" does not.
Most people interpret "line" to mean "line segment" (without realising it) and so would conclude that a line does not go on forever.
A "line segment" is a line between two points, which is what you would draw if told to draw a "line" on a piece of paper.

Parallel line segments are 2 line segments that are parallel. They never touch and they do not go on forever. Parallel lines do go on forever because lines go on forever. I think I'm right. Am I?
Yes, you are right. A line segment eventually ends. In fact, a segment has two endpoints. But parallel lines go on forever; they have no endpoints.Example: (arrows indicating they go on forever)_____________________ (these are parallel line segments)
Do Line segments go on forever?
No. Line segments end at the endpoints.
Do parallel lines go on forever?
No, But 1 Dimensional Does. The lines may or may not go on forever but that has no effect on whether or not a parallel line will cross.
Can a ray start at one point on a line and go on forever?
yes
What is the difference between a line and a ray?
lines go forever in both directions rays start at a specific point and go forever in only one direction
