Would you rather be...

[インフェルノの津波]

If there was no choice whatsoever to stop it, would you become Blind, Deaf, Mute, or Dumb?

This answer is easy. Mute. Because I barely talk, it's a not a handicap at all. In fact, this might even be a bonus for me!

You?

 

[PlatinumDude]

Oh, that's a tough one. I like all 4 of those things, but if I had a choice, I'd be mute because I don't talk unless it's necessary.

 

[Charizard★]

Blind. So I wouldn't need to see the world as it is.

 

[curiousnathan]

Mute, since I would still be able to hear people, see people and understand concepts that help em learns so I can still be successful. Plus even if I couldn't speak, I could write things down on paper.

 

[institutions]

Well, dumb is an awful choice. Nobody in their right mind would choose dumb.
Can't do blind because I love playing videogames, doing pc stuff, watching tv, etc.
Deaf I can't do because my biggest hobby is playing guitar and making music.

So, mute :P
I don't talk much anyway.
Plus, it would kind of be kickass to be mute.
You'd be like Rob Lowe's character in The Stand TV miniseries.

I'd rather be mute. By a long run. I have to high of a mathematical talent to be dumb. I enjoy music with my heart too much to be deaf. I want to see my knowledge and read and understand with my eyes too much to be blind.

If I'm mute, I can still communicate by writing and expression. Only 10% of all real human communication is even speaking.

 

[Wings Don't Cry]

I'd be mute, then I'd have a genuine excuse not to answer people, not to mention I won't have to do anymore school speeches. Besides I'd think it'd be cool to write on a giant notepad. It's not really that much of a problem since I didn't start of as a mute, I can still make mouth movements to help with my communication.

 

[SIN1488]

Only 10% of all real human communication is even speaking.

Okay math wiz, we didn't need a lesson on it..... :P

I thought dumb and mute were the same thing? Oh well, I would definitely choose mute over deaf and blind, as I like those two senses because I like being aware of my surroundings. And I'm fairly good at miming out my feelings and thoughts, so it wouldn't be that big of a deal.

 

[Eliminator Jr.]

It's tough. I certainly wouldn't pick being dumb, I enjoy having my current level of intelligence. I wouldn't pick deaf, because then I couldn't hear music. Out of mute and blindness, I think I'd have to pick mute. Even though I enjoy singing in bands and all that I think that overall, being able to see would be more useful than being able to speak.

 

[butterbiscuit]

Check that.

They now make special things that hook into your eyes so the blind can see.

So blind. :b

 

[Kura]

Mute, though it'd be hard. The hardest one for me would be blindness.. because I have and love doing art..

 

[Kenshin5]

Out of all it would be mute. There are many ways of communication with out using verbal forms. The are more alternatives to being mute and how to cope then there are if I were to lack the other senses.

 

[loliwin]

Mute, so my parents wont kill me when I say "f**k!" when I hit something. XD

 

[jigglyppuff8]

Mute. Given our advances in the field of voiceless communication, it's practically painless for a mute person to live their daily life. Being on the internet also plays a role as it is the haven to several outcasts who don't broadcast their opinions otherwise.

 

[femtrooper]

XDDDDDDDDDDDD

This is so hard and awful! I would never ever ever want to be deaf or blind, but I talk allllllllllllllllllllllll the time!

I shall choose mute because being deaf would be Hell and being blind would be more Hell.

 

[Zeffy]

I'd pick mute. I can write what I can say, can I?

 

[Zebeedoo]

I wouldn't pick blind, because I love being able to see people's faces, among other things. I wouldn't pick deaf, because I love listening to music. I wouldn't pick dumb because... yeah. Wouldn't want that. And I wouldn't really pick mute either.. but then again, I don't talk much unless asked, really. So since I have to pick one, I'll pick mute. Like Zeffy mentioned, I could just write down what I wanted to say.

 

[Legobricks]

Dumb and mute are the same thing... unless by dumb you mean having some sort of mental handicap; if so, please be more specific on it.

I'd be mute; it's always been one of my 'fantasies' if you will, since I never liked the expectation to talk.

 

[donavannj]

Mute would probably be the easiest for me, but it'd be such a pain in certain situations. :(

 

[Captain Hobo.]

I would be mute because I can write or type what I want.
