Sight or Hearing?

[LEGION]

What kind of sports do blind people play?

I have no idea; but I'd love to see 10 of them get together and have a go at dodgeball.

Well guess what, there's such thing as blind-people's baseball. They use sound in the baseball so you know what direction it is.

"Heads up!"

"What??"

BAM!


He didn't hear it coming...

Thats a tough question to answer. I love my music, but ultimately I think my need to read wins over the need for sound. Films can have subtitles and I can continue to read the stuff I like.

I live in a very noisy country and a bit of peace and quiet might be what I need. Not sure about forever though.

I'd have to say Hearing.You can be visualy stimulated,read lips.Also a big difference if it is from birth or happens after you have already experienced years of both?I would need to see.I heard once....no pun ...that when you can not hear that you loose some sence of taste and smell as well Not sure if thats accurate.

I was at a red light the other day and saw a guy down the street walking along with one of those feeling poles used to assist blind people.everystep he took he had to stop and reach out with his hand ,clearly blind.He thought he was at the entrance of a Rite-aid drugstore (about 2o feet away)and instead was trying to walk into one of those steel fences that surrounds a trash dumpster.That shit was messed up,I drove up and trying to be respectful but not wanting to see this dude get run over or picked up by a trash removal truck I asked, "You need a hand bud" ?.....not missing a beat he say's "No thanks ,I have both of mine,besides it's a pretty day out"....??

That stopped me in my tracks!!Humor was intact ,dude obviously had "seen" something I had not.
