if you were to go totally blind or totally deaf immediately...which would be harder for you to come to terms with? i don't think i could function without sight--i can have everybody write everything down (plus i won't have to listen to beyonce anymore)

Being deaf.

You have a problem with Beyoncè.

I think you love her. There's a thin line...

I'd think sight

i'd rather be deaf than blind.

I see the iPod generation would rather lose hearing.

They're all gonna be deaf eventually
Clever guys

I would rather be blind.

I'll go blind eventually, like my grandma and mum are going - glaucoma runs in our family

between the two, I think my life would be a lil' fuller if I still had my sight...

Me too.
I think that I can relate better while hearing because of how I process information.

i'd rather be deaf. i love sign language. being deaf would be an undeniable reason for me to be serious about learning more of it.

Hearing.

I can't stand total quietness so I'd rather be blind than deaf. It would be horrible to never see another dick again though.

Id so much rather deal with being deaf than blind...I cant imagine not seeing the beauty in the world (how cheesy does that sound? lol) ..or my babies growing up.

I'd rather be blind

We had to answer this question in Kindergarten. I still stick with my previous answer--I hope my already-crappy hearing doesn't completely fade! Eyes can go before ears, definitely.

There is a natural way to prevent glaucoma. Light it up!

I would rather go deaf. I would still be able to read, watch sports, etc. I also don't know what I would do if I could no longer enjoy my favorite sight; the female body.

Tough one, but I think it'd be harder to lose my sight.

I'd rather be deaf than blind. I'd feel so much more out of control and helpless without my sight. Being deaf would be a definite challenge, but to me being blind seems downright terrifying.

exactly. the idea of me being helped around with most things is very terrifying. especially if it involves being ill or hospitalised

i've already gotten my older days to deal with those things (if i lived a long life, that is), so don't take my sight now.

Hearing. Much as I'd be devastated to lose my sight suddenly and not be able to read, I could always learn Braille. But to not hear music, birds, people's voices? Uh uh.

Neither

Sight.

Hearing. I need to talk to people and I need music. I can't stand being in a quiet room, and I hate being alone because I'm kinda paranoid, I need to hear activity around me.

I could live w/o seeing pretty well. Though I guess I'd need help all the time, which is kind of sad. And I wouldn't be able to draw anymore...how about LEGALLY BLIND?
