Re: Would you rather be blind or deaf?
I agree, I would rather be deaf as well. But they both suck.

Re: Would you rather be blind or deaf?
I recall seeing one of these polls this year...and deaf got the most votes by a landslide.
Or maybe I'm imagining.

Re: Would you rather be blind or deaf?
not sure if the question means you're born with it or you become it (blind/deaf).
but, between the two, i think if i were to become blind all of a sudden, it would take me way longer to deal with it than becoming deaf.

Re: Would you rather be blind or deaf?
how is this even a question???......if you're deaf you can still function as a member of society. if you are blind, you depend on someone else to do things for you the rest of your life...
no more getting up and taking a drive to the store...playing sports....watching tv....reading....going out to bars..(when was the last time you saw a blind guy out on a saturday night??) I rest my case.

Re: Would you rather be blind or deaf?
I would have to say deaf, but i couldnt imagine total silence. The rest of your life, void of any sound. Much less music. It would almost feel like solitary confinement in your head......But then again so would being blind. Il go with Deaf.

Re: Would you rather be blind or deaf?
Blind by far. Couldn't live without music. Then again I couldn't live without seeing another face. Screw this poll.

Re: Would you rather be blind or deaf?
blind.
so you don't have to see all the horrible things this world has to offer... granted, you do miss out on all the beautiful things, but you win some, you lose some. some of the most amazing musicians were bling. Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Doc Watson... amazing.

Re: Would you rather be blind or deaf?
you people that say blind would really want to have to depend on another person the rest of your lives just so you can listen to music..????

I pretty much live for music... so blind.
However, I like having all my senses very much... |

Re: Would you rather be blind or deaf?
I'd pick deaf.
While on the topic, I've always had a question that's concerned me. Let's say someone is born blind and they hear people talking about something like..a color. Say, a red rose. Do they have any perception of what that could be? Or is it just completely impossible to comprehend something you have never sensed/cannot sense?

Re: Would you rather be blind or deaf?
Impotent. Then I could get a little pump in my penis to give me boners and still see the girl I'm doin' it with! And I could hear her when she tells me that I'm on her hair.

Re: Would you rather be blind or deaf?
As I am already nearly blind, I would rather be that than deaf. If I were deaf I wouldn't be able to listen to music. Or talk with people. Or a ton of other things. Also, sure, I wouldn't be able to see films, but I'd still get a general idea of what was happening through listening. Everything would be just like a radio play.
But I am biased as 97% of you have both your full eyesight and hearing. No impotency thank you.

Re: Would you rather be blind or deaf?
Deaf for sure. It would suck, but I could still easily do most of my work (teaching would be a challenge--research part would be relatively unaffective) and generally live my life. My main hobbies are movies (can do subtitles), books and video games. I love music, but I don't play instruments or go to all that many concerts so being deaf would be less of a blow than losing my site.
