Poll Would you rather be blind or deaf? (93 votes)
Explain why.
If you are blind you can be a wannabe Daredevil.. If you are deaf.... yeah then you are fked up...
Just kidding, i would rather be deaf, cus u can still hear your own thoughts.
Neither, because I would be a very unhappy man.
Deaf. While it would be a hindrance to be deaf, if you were blind you couldn't read books or comics, enjoy or create art, look at your loved ones, watch television, play video games or most sports, browse the internet and you would be all but helpless at first and only ever receive a fraction of your independence in time, whereas you could eventually operate with only a relatively small reduction if you were deaf.
I would have to go with deaf simply because my sense of touch is dulled to the point I would NEVER be able to read braille.
I love to read and write too much, I could not live without my writing.

Blind. Some of the most badass people are blind. Daredevil, Kenshi (Mortal Kombat), Eli (Book of Eli), Neo (The Matrix), Raizo (Ninja Assassin - he wasn't blind but dammit he could fight blind!). Who's deaf? No one!
+ I can still listen to music
+ I can still communicate effectively face-to-face
+ Enhanced senses

Let's see you survive the zombie apocalypse without functional eyes, mudda trucka.
And Echo was deaf lol.
@makhai: Zombie apocalypse ain't got sh*t on me!
Echo ain't as badass as the people I listed. And what an ironic name for a deaf character.

QFT.
Although I do agree that no longer hearing music would be sad. It'd also suck to not hear your significant other's voice,

Alright, I'll let you run with me when it all goes down. If nothing else, I'll need someone to distract the walkers from my escape.

Pft. I have 360 degree awareness, you'd have 180 degrees. Watch your own back!

You won't be able to tell that I've tied your shoelaces together until it's too late, meat-shield.

You won't be able to tell that I've positioned you between myself and the zombies approaching from your behind... meat-shield!

I wear shades with rear-view mirrors in them. And your shoelaces are still tied.
@makhai: No you don't. Liar. No one wears shades with rear-view mirrors. Its impractical. I on the other hand wear laceless shoes, I feel you feeling around in my shoes and kick your supposed "rear-view shades" off your face. I hear zombie screams as they advance towards the position of noise. I focus on my sense of touch, smell and hearing to navigate around the abandoned warehouse where this fight was clearly taking place. I hide and stay quite. You try to look for me, unaware that zombies are on approach. Your footsteps are loud. Zombies see you and begin to approach you. You run out of the warehouse.
A kid zombie approaches me and asks "Why are you hiding?". I explain that I am blind. The kid zombie feels sorry and I make an alliance with the zombie horde. The zombies need food and I tell them that I can track you. My senses are more focused than theirs, so we agree. We visit the place where they lost you. I sniff around like a bat or a mole rat and pick up your sent. I follow your sent all the way to where you are. You're sleeping. What an idiot. What kind of deaf person has time to sleep in a situation like this? The zombies feast on your brain.

I hate you.
It's a lot easier to function without hearing, and I can still read comics. Living without music would be soul crushing though.
@tomofukuoka: You use your other 4 senses to "hear"
You still dont get it? What has being blind have to do with not being able to hear? If Your blind u use other senses to see not hear... LOL
SO yeah ur original message makes no sense:
Blind. You could use other things to let you "hear"
You should say see not hear.

Deaf. I think seeing colors, shapes and all the beautiful things in the world is too much to let go. Plus, I heard technology for those with hearing impairments is really progressing. I once saw on tv someone who was deaf all his life finally heard himself because of our technological advances in that field.

The same is coming for blindness. Scientists predict we can restore most sight by 2017 IIRC.

I'm serious. I read about it somewhere. I can probably find the article.
@artyom: Never mind, you were right. Praise Baby Jesus for scientists and technology.
