    I think most blind people are sensitive to light, how do you know they're not sleeping?

    You could find the answer to your question by simply gouging out your own eyes.

    Try it and let us know how you get on.

    A better question is do blind people have superhuman hearing to make up for their lack of sight?

    Maybe they do and they're not telling us

    I'd be more worried about what powers the mute people aren't telling us about.

    Blind people see with their ears. Any blind person reading this thread will confirm.

    Here's a better question, how much would you accept to go blind for the rest of your life... 1 million euro, 2 million? You could still do a lot of stuff, listen to good music eat nice foods etc and the money could go a long way for your family, especially those with children. I would personally be talking at least 5 million.

    Yeah and how do deaf people know when people are talking, for all they know they could just be pretending to talk.

    Most blind people can distinguish light and dark

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
