Would you rather be blind or deaf?

Yep

Something I've thought about a bit actually. I'd rather be blind. I couldn't handle a world without music.

Deaf, because even though music is my life, I couldn't live without being able to see the world and stuff. i want to travel, couldn't do it without my eyes.

Deaf

blind, as a martial artist my senses will take over

You are no Daredevil

I would rather be deaf because I couldn't play video games without my eyes. For all of you people who like playing vg's, how would you play them.

What Martial Arts and how long have you been at it?

Daredevil dude. That is what he is talking about.

Blindness seems much more debilitating to me. It would be much harder to live without sight than without sound. They are both imprisoning but sight seems as though it would offer more solace to me than sound. I also believe that personally, the lack of sight would hinder or at least compromise my imaginative growth. I can live with having to remember what my favorite music sounded like or how my loved ones voice affected me but it would be very hard to not be able to enjoy all of the physical beauty in the world.

I prefer not to be blind, or deaf, but choosing only 1, it has to go to deaf for me.

I'd rather be deaf. I couldn't stand not being able to see the beautiful world

The deadskis.

Hahahahahahahaha, god, you really do have the mind of a child.

As for all the people who are saying they can't live without music - stop talking shit. As important as music is in many people's lives, I'm fairly sure virtually all of us would choose to keep our sight.

Yeah, well, that just like, your opinion, man.

I suppose I'd be deaf. That way you could at least learn sign language.

Beethoven was deaf, and was a successful composer...

But also, he wasn't born deaf.

I'd definitely choose deafness though. I could at least watch movies, and have subtitles up srug

So its obvious you are a sock, who were you before?

No, not a sock. I read the boards for a while before joining and have also seen a few discussion about your relationship.

What did it just say?

...Yeah, I did. If you can back up your accusations with any kind of proof, go ahead. Until you can provide any sort of evidence (of which there will be none), I'd like it if you'd please refrain from accusing me, if you continue I'll report you for libel.

Haven't been banned.

As I said, stop accusing me when you have absolutely nothing to back up your accusations. It's very aggravating and as a member who has been here a lot longer, you should know better than to cry wolf just because someone makes a little joke about the life you make all too accessible.

I'd rather be deaf..... only cuz I already use captions on my tv.. that way you get more of the movie or show..

I wouldn't last long if I was blind...

I don't talk a lot anyway... and I'd rather not hear all the stupid bullshit people have to say to me... it's all the same... talk, talk, talk, talk....

the tragic life of legendary Frankie Wilde who somehow goes deaf but manages his world with music!

I would rather go Blind as well

Calm it down and smoke weed!

i would rather be deaf because they have headphones that actually play loud enough so deaf ppl can here music. and i love video games so being blind isnt an option

deaf, screw music, i'll just feel the vibrations

I would rather be deaf because in 10 years or less, there will be no such thing as deafness anymore. In fact, the electonic repair surgery that they are working on would make their hearing better than standard hearing. Also, I could still watch movies and play games with subtitles.



On another note, I was almost deaf due to massive ear infections as a child. I got ear tuuuuuuuubes and I kept my hearing.

Are you good with nun chuks and a bo staff? I can do the bo staff stuff without seeing as I've practiced that just for fun. However, I would still have to walk with a "seeing" cane and have a doggie. I do not have sonar.

Blind, definitely. I would rather be able to hear people's voices and music.

really tough one to decide but I would say blind, I would much rather be able to hear

No amount of loudness will help if you're completely deaf.

Deaf, could always learn sign language to talk and they have captions on movies etc.

I dunno why people are putting music above simple everyday tasks we take for granted, like taking a shit, making breakfast, dialling the right phone number, crossing a road etc. Is music that important?

haermm See?

yes..yes I do...that's why I chose deaf

Huh?

OK I got it, Lou.........Oh shit I lost it.

It is alot easier being deaf than it is being blind

Deaf, definitely.

I can't stand the thought of not ever seeing the world or just suddenly going blind and never seeing the world again. I can deal with being deaf.

Like to see someone play sports when blind

Deaf by far.

Could you imagine being blind? Just having to trust everyone to help you alone would make me go insane.

Depends on the person.


For someone like Scythe, that is a major yes. He does music for a living.


I am a very musical/sound person myself. I love music and I love "writing" it. However, I don't love it enough to not realize that 80% of all sensory input is vision. (I do cite my sources.)

I'm already partly deaf in one ear due to my years of touring, it's extremely harsh on one's ears. I have a feeling I might go completely deaf in one ear.

Do you wear ear plugs while on stage?

Sometimes, I do. Most of the time, when I do, they get knocked out. I like to embrace the fans by stagediving alot, so I lose them really easily.

Yes, don't like them. I've tried Hearos, and they fall out very easily. I can't undo the damage, so I just go without them.

Funny. I wear them every now and then. It's the best I can do. They get knocked out, even inside the mask. Tried wearing headphones and they just get in the way. I'm not gonna be a musician my whole life, so I'm not too worried aobut it.

Hmm....guess the headphones would indeed make it a tad difficult to wear.

They sucked, and half the time, they'de either get broken, lost, or hinder me somehow.

I used to fly model airplanes and the engines were LOUD as hell. My dad made me wear plugs, the yellow squishy kind. I hated them.

Alrighty.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMhm.
