    if you had to be born either deaf or blind which one would you choose?
    any mods wanna add a poll too?:o
    i'd pick deaf. i think life would be so much harder being blind. granted u'd miss out on listening to music etc but nonetheless, visual impairment would be pretty bad

    I rather be blind. Deaf people don't get cool dogs.

    deaf obviously because there are loads of aids now that can give u hearing etc.

    its much harder to give a blind person sight

    definately blind. at least you can still easily have a conversation with someone if you are blind.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,296 ✭✭✭RandolphEsq


    Deaf. Seeing is far more important and can lead to a much more comfortable life. Sports are still playable when one is deaf

    no more After Hours,though.
    i'll choose deaf.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,100 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    Blind is possibly the worst afliction a human can be given.
    Deaf is also very tough, but blind is far tougher I would imagine


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 606 ✭✭✭captainspeckle


    i just think that one would feel much more lonely when deaf rather than blind.?

    I'd definitely prefer to be deaf. You are a lot more limited at what you can do when blind.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    I'd be a baby so I probably wouldn't know


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,626 ✭✭✭Sofaspud


    I'd much rather be deaf.

    Unless I got Daredevil's power, cos that would rock!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 82 ✭✭redorblack


    Deaf, id prefer to be able to control it though with an on off switch. When you get a pain in your hole listening to people, flick the deaf switch for peaceful deaf bliss, then you can smile happily.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,455 ✭✭✭anplaya


    easily deaf,believe me.lmao at people whod rather be blind.

    Ive always wondered what a person who was born Blind dreams about.

    'Being blind cuts you off from the world, but being deaf cuts you off from people'

    Deaf so, I f*cking hate most people.

    stupid quote cause its not true about deaf people anyway


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    Well I'm half blind so I'd like to give deafness a try.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,448 ✭✭✭✭Cupcake_Crisis


    Blind for me. I love music too much to never be able to hear it again. Id go mad

    thats one thing.think of how many things youll miss if ya were blind. then youll realise how much more ya can do when youre deaf.
