I would say taste, because really, if i diddnt have to worry about taste when eating, my life would prbably go a whole lot smoother. I am Glad to have all of my senses though.

smell, it's not that important, and ours is not well developed like most other animals anyway.
pr1983, u would give up ur sight? i think being blind is really the second or third worst thing that can happen to a person. living in darkness all ur life, it's like being shut in a box that u can never get out of. blind ppl are really brave, the way they carry on with life.

Sight - Because there's a lot of things in this world I dont like seeing!
I could not live without
Hearing - I would go mad without music and playing the guitar. Touch - I wouldn't be able to feel to play the guitar or the sun/wind on my face or the gentle caress of loved ones. Smell - I've seen a lot of beautiful things and smells remind me of them and I helps me to picture them in my head. Taste - I love my food!
As I have said before...that sense has never been proven in a laboratory...BUT...I am sure that it does exist as far too many things have happened - especially between identical twins - for there not to be something there.
Maybe we all have this "sense" to a greater or a lesser degree but wouldn't it be nice to just be able to turn it on and off like a tap ?
Has anybody here had any personal experience of the existence of the sixth sense ?

lol at people saying "touch, so i cant feel pain" - u miss the point...u always cant fell nething, warmth etc...ud also cause soo much damage to ur body because u wouldnt be able to tell what hurt and what didnt
Smell - can live without that, cant live without the others

i'd have to say taste. i can find a hell of a lot more uses for smell than taste
well..this 6th sense will probably never be proven. we've all experienced it i assume..this gut feeling you say about. But it's not something concrete nor something who follows his brain would act on. (if given time to choose)
though i thought the 6th sense is actually women's intuition ...
never agreed with this, btw
Sense of smell and sense of taste are tied together in many ways so loss of one would probably do damage to the effectiveness of the other.
That is why - of course - that our noses are above our mouths:
When we go to put poisonous or bad food into our mouths we smell it first and often stop at this point. If we don't ( because like Silver Stardust, we have allergies ), then we might taste it before swallowing it and spit it out when it is bad.
That defence-mechanism is a double check when we can both smell AND taste but it is still done if we can taste only.
This makes our sense of smell slightly redundant !

But, for to look at it that way you would need to be stuffing something up your nose that would be tested by your mouth, ( taste-buds ) before it got into your stomach....?
Naaaa...even the applicaton of a bit of "snow" up the nasal orifice would not be stopped by it's bad taste.
