Deaf,Blind,Mute,Numb - What would you pick if you could? - General

Mute to be mysteriously vague. :ninja:

[QUOTE=K3inMitl3id;26610181]You're just trying to impress everyone. Have fun not being able to use the computer. As for what sense I'd rather lose, I'd pick numb because there's things I want to do someday where I'll have to use my voice a lot.[/QUOTE] screen readers genius

Mute, because if you were deaf, you'd pretty much go mute soon anyways, as you cant hear your own voice. Also, i would never want to see a day when i hug someone, i couldn't feel it... and i'd really like to see.

Numb, easily. I wouldn't really mind it, no pain factor then.

[QUOTE=AJones;26612838]Numb, easily. I wouldn't really mind it, no pain factor then.[/QUOTE] No pleasure either

Mute, since that's solved with a small white board and marker.

[QUOTE=Nerts;26613020]Mute, since that's solved with a small white board and marker.[/QUOTE] Have fun doing that every time you want to say something. Any way I'd rather be numb, the other three are far too important.

Numb, but i want to be... Comfortably Numb

Muteness forever!

[QUOTE=Bat-shit;26608880]Yeah well you know it would be pretty awful not to hear anything, or not to see anything (not to mention pornographic material) or not to be able to communicate at all. Then there is death too but it's all those things in one. So I'm still going with the numb.[/QUOTE] You can still communicate even if you are mute, which is why I would go with that. Being numb really does have some bad effects. You wouldn't be able to walk, you would be sheltered your whole life, you would constantly need to check yourself you cuts and injuries, and most likely die young. [editline]10th December 2010[/editline] You guys are just thinking numb as in can't feel anything, but aren't realising the drawbacks that come with it. You also probably couldn't walk.

Mute. I could get one of those speech bots, like what Stephen Hawking has to talk for me!

[QUOTE=lead_farmer;26603634]Really? You realize that if you have no sense of smell, food will be completely tasteless?[/QUOTE] No, only partially. Your sense of smell contributes only partially to your sense of taste.

Mute. In space, no one can hear you scream anyways.

People who are numb, the rare cases they occur, require very special attention and focus in order to not unwittingly destroy their bodies or kill themselves. Mute is the way to go. If you're deaf you're basically mute anyway. And blind is just a bitch.

Mute, then I get a text to speech system and get to talk like a robot. :techno:

deaf dumb and blind so i could play a mean pinball

I think I'll go with mute, safest choice of them all.

I'd rather die.

[QUOTE=Paravin;26625422]I'd rather die.[/QUOTE] Explain why

Numb. YOU CAN'T FEEL PAIN! Plus you have all the senses!

[QUOTE=mrryanchisholm;26628456]Numb. YOU CAN'T FEEL PAIN! [b]Plus you have all the senses![/b][/QUOTE] touch is a sense, genius

The majority chose mute because none of them talk anyway.

I was gonna pick numb, but then I realized that I wouldn't be able to fap.

i chose deaf, but i'd rather go mute.

Mute, so I can have Microsoft Sam do all the talking for me.

Mute. I'll use one of those machines like Stephen Hawking has and enter in "soi soi soi" in the middle of class.

I'm going deaf anyways so why not.

I'd pick any of them, except for numb, if it was from birth. If it was a sudden onset, muteness. The problems that cause are pretty easily circumvented. Deafness would be the worse, because I wouldn't get my music.

numb oh, excuse me, my foot is on fire.

Mute. I could communicate in sign language while still being able to enjoy sights, enjoy feelings, and hear music. That was easy. Next question. :smug: [editline]27th December 2010[/editline] Also, I love how everyone thinks that, if they are mute, they will use a text-to-speech machine. The only reason Stephen Hawking uses that is because he can't use his arms and can only type with a few fingers.
