i'd rather be blind so i can still enjoy music. and it would be cooler to be a blind guitarist than a deaf guitarist.


on the other hand... http://media.putfile.com/worst

being blind would be well scary though - but i suspect they are more accepted into society, more cared for, anyway.

Losing either sense would be a MAJOR blow... both are extremely rich senses capable of producing strong emotions/feelings (like getting horny when you see a hot chick, or getting spaced out when you listen to stoner rock like QOTSA's "Autopilot")

at least if you're deaf you can have subtitles. if you're blind its much harder to enjoy tv.

you might think sight is an advantage, but the deaf guy presumably has all his other senses heightened, and could like hear his attacker, and is a guy. the girl would probably be over confident and this would be her downfall.

but what does everyone else think?

Being a bloke i have to say the girl would win cus the guy will try and act cool to impress her then fall over something. I do it and i aint blind. (not fight though - just to clarify that people).

cute...but if you're blind what the other person looks like isn't an issue, and its thus easier to find someone you like. and its probably pretty tricky to find someone really attractive when you're handicapped.


...thats not to diss handicapped people, its just that really buff people are superficial bastards and won't look to your inner beauty. :o

i'm not sure blind guys really act that tough most of the time, and its hard to be over-confident when you can't even see your opponent.

i don't think the guy would hit the girl which automatically puts him at a slight disadvantage

Deaf, because even contemplating not being able to see is terrifying. Visual stimuli are much more complex and informative than aural stimuli as well.

Being blind would suck too much. I'd be deaf.

why has this thread been merged with the 'who would win in a fight' thread. i thought their emphases were on completely different aspects of disability and thus deserved to be separate subjects.
