Sight or Hearing?

[LEGION]

O.k.; vision and hearing are, well, obviously crucial to helping us live our lives to the fullest. So if you had to take one away, which would it be: sight or the ability to hear?

I ask because I'm bored and I spend alot of time on the "What are you listening to" thread. I got to thinking how music for me is so critically important to have and I honestly don't think I could cope without having the ability to hear it; or hear anything for that matter. 24/7 I have music on, and when I am unable to listen to it I get a little nuts.


Now sight is obviously important, as being able to function in any society would be so difficult without it; and not being able to see all the beautiful things in this world must be maddening, especially if one had sight and lost it due to an accident.

I know for me the one thing I truly love to do, keeping venomous reptiles, would obviously not be a viable hobby. Not only not being able to get my hands on them, but just enjoying what to me is beauty when I look at them.

I would imagine people on here that box or kickbox or any sport for that matter would be devastated from losing sight{well, except for Kid Thunder, as he couldn't possibly do any worse} JK Kid And driving is obviously out of the question, which would suck big time.


So finally after all my rambling, if anyone's gotten this far, which would you rather be without if you had to choose?


For me I'd rather be blind. It would be fun bitching about not having a menu in braille at Jack in the Box. Also I could get friends to bump me into big tittied girls and use the excuse I was blind and didn't mean to hold onto their mams to keep from falling.


Being deaf would suck, as I think I'd kill myself if I couldn't hear my music, and the wind blow, or Kathy slurping on my.....well you guys get it. Plus deaf people sound like tards and I would hate people giggling when I tried to talk.

Tough one legion, I wouldn't mind too much as I would still have taste to savour peoples plop

I knew I should have refrained from trying to post a somewhat serious thread.

I love music too, but come on.

It would be so much worse to not be able to see. No TV, internet, ckecking out girls, sports...etc.

Id lose my hearing first any day and its not even close.

Not an easy question. But I think a person fares far easier in the world without hearing, compared to blindness. But who's to say really...mile in each's shoes could only give the proper answer.

I think for me I'd go with losing hearing. I know some hearing impaired people, and they seem to manage ok. Plus, my own hearing is suspect. I've had problems since birth, and have had several surgeries early in life...tonsils, tubes, adanoids etc.

Overall my hearing is quite good now though, but I am prone to frequent infections and need to be careful with certain things. Don't imagine I'll be losing it any time shortly. Also, for the record, tubes in ear drums are now getting frowned upon in medical circles. My specialist doctor for my ears says I likely should never have had that procedure, as with most people who did...but surgeons just didn't know the possible repercussions that time and large sample studies have found.

So anyway. Official answer. Rather be deaf.

I think I would go genuinely crazy if I lost the ability to hear. Really, I would. Deafening silence would just be to much for me to overcome.

Still, I would take my chances with losing my hearing. If I lost my sight then literally all the enjoyment in my life will be ripped out from underneath me. That would really, really suck. No sports, boxing, reading and I definitely wouldn't be able to eat in the company of people as I barely can now with all the sounds of chewing. With that sound amplified, I would just turn into a blind recluse.

So sight, it would be sight that I keep.

Also, it's not related but I hear that when you dream and your deaf or blind, that you can see and hear. How amazing would that be? Really, if I could only see in my dreams, I would smoke all the pot I could and just dream all day and lay tortured every moment I was awake.

That must only be related to people that have lost their sight or hearing.

If a person is blind from birth, how could they understand/interpret what they are seeing in dreams?

I was thinking the same thing, but who knows.

For some reason i cant stop laughing at this.

Well it would be very tough to lose sight; as I read alot and have a virtual library in my house.

But still, for me, I love the dark, my house is like a tomb I keep it so dark, and I only really go out at night{yes Bilbo, to rob graves}, so I think for me I could cope better without sight. To each their own.

If I couldn't hear anything I really do think I'd go crazy though. But if I lost my sight, I guess it would suck just as bad cause I wouldn't be able to talk to any of you fools.

Then you wouldn't have a big electric bill. And you could screw ugly chicks and not care. Poor Bilbo has to do that with his sight intact. Not being able to watch boxing would suck.

Id lose my hearing first any day and its not even close.

O.k. Wes, calm down, it was just a question. No one is going to take your porn away

Yeah he's a funny guy. I'd tell him to go stick his head in a toilet but I get the impression he already does.

[OumaFan]

I think I'd just end it if I was slowly going both blind and deaf, that would be just too much.

I would go with keeping sight over hearing. Not having music would suck but I could deal with not being able to hear people as a lot of time I just want them to shut up. That would suck but I could deal with it.

I could deal with one or the other though if I really had too. If I went blind I'd just listen to music, read with braille, and talk to people. If I went deaf I'd watch TV and movies, read normally, use the computer, look at people, and talk to people through sign language.

Its strange that I've actually given this a lot of thought. For some reason I've always had a kind of irrational fear of going deaf and blind.

Seriously, no chicks are letting some blind dude bang them.

You just sit in a room and wait to die. What else can you do?? Every aspect of your life would be drastically affected. You cant see if the food your eating is rotten or not, you never know if you are finished wiping your ass, your a sitting duck for theives, NO PORN, no sports, no TV, no friends cuz what do u talk about?? Did you see the fight last night......nope i didnt.

I dont know how people do it.
