why would you people be blind, think about it, no more armor games, movies, TV, video, you wouldn't be able to read. You still could use the audio book thing, but i'd rather read. I would much rather be deaf, it would help falling asleep at night, and block out annoying siblings.

Read the last sentence of my post above yours.

Even though I'm an amazing reader, I hate reading, so points there for blindness.

it would help falling asleep at night


I have trouble falling asleep, but it's not because of noise, and I live next to an extremely busy road in a creaky, 40-year-old house.

and block out annoying siblings.


I've come to enjoy my siblings for the majority of them time.

Sorry to tell you this, but life doesn't have subtitles.

Whoa, and that doesn't have anything to do with noise? Okay.

Oh, I beg to differ.

The road around my house is busy 24/7, and believe me, cars can be LOUD. With them blasting music, revving up their engines, sirens, motorcycles, a lot of noise is generated from a busy a busy street. Anytime someone moves in my house, you hear it as if they're right next to you, which would also cause noise because if you can hear someone walking, just think about someone flushing the toilet or taking a shower. So yes, it has a lot to do with noise.

And, deaf people can hear, right? I said if you are deaf you can't hear. Do i need to yell?

No? Since when could deaf people hear? I was saying that noise doesn't keep me from sleeping, and knowing how the world works, I'm definitely not alone with this. No need to to yell, yelling's rude, especially to a stranger over the internet

you can have different 'strengths' of deafness like you cant hear well and the same with blindess like you cant see well but most people mean they cant hear/see at all when they say blind or deaf.

and I would rather be deaf the thought of not being able to see scares me.

I'd rather be blind. If I could never hear music again, I'd be lost.

This is a hard choice... I think I would rather be deaf. I would hate not being able to see anything. The only problem is I wouldn't be able to hear music

Deaf, since you can still see the beauties of this world, and your not as susceptible to pranks.

I would rather be Deaf. Although I couldn't listen to music anymore, and I would have to read subtitles, being blind would be much worse. While deaf, you can still communicate. While blind, you cannot really get a job or anything.
