If you had to choose, would you go deaf or blind?

 

[wali]

Come on now, you could do better than that.

How would you experience an awesome hi fi getup when you're deaf?

My two cents..

 

[Head Creep]

I'd rather go deaf. I could give up music and take up sign language, read a lot more and save tons of money on not buying audio hardware.

 

[KR...]

Nothing better to do huh?

 

[zotjen]

While I would prefer neither, if I had to choose I would go with deaf. I don't think I could deal with being blind.

 

[Aman]

While I think it would be terrible to go deaf, I could still survive.

I wouldn't want to live if I went blind completely. It'd be a sense of loss, a HUGE loss - there is nothing more beautiful in this world than colors, and to lose it all would be one of the worst things I could think about happening to me.

Isn't he still blind? Though I suppose it probably is true that it's more likely you'll get your site back than it is your hearing.

If I knew I'd lose it forever... I'd probably choose to go deaf, unless it was a Daredevil deal and I had a radar sense to compensate for the blindness. Anyway, we use our eyes so much more it seems. It would be much harder to just function...

 

[remilard]

blind, I would want to be able to communicate easily with all people.

 

[PzMatiK]

Again, would rather be neither but being deaf would be the 'preferred' option. Not being able to see anything is a hard thought without a doubt. I seriously couldn't deal with that. Just makes us all think not to ever take these things for granted.

I'd be deaf, dumb, blind and play the mean pinball.

 

[Xeno7651]

I'd choose deaf on one ear and being blind on one eye

 

[Nak Man]

I feel *very* sorry for blind people or people with sight disability.

I don't think it's right or ethical to make fun of them. I understand this thread is only a light discussion and doesn't intend to offend anybody, but it gets real close to borderline.

 

[Edwood]

I'd rather be dumb.
