What would you rather be?

If you were blind you wouldn't be able to visit this website or any other website for that matter, your computer would be an almost pointless tool and your TV wouldn't get a lot of use either. Also, you wouldn't be able to play computer games and that would be another big blow for me.
If you were deaf you'd still be able to use the internet and watch TV and DVDs because of the great invention that is subtitling. I'd imagine that sign language or lip reading is easier to pick up than braile readind aswell. The main problem with being deaf though, you'd never be able to listen to music. In some ways that could be a blessing (the cheeky girls) but in the main it would be terrible.
Personally, if I had to choose I'd rather be deaf but I think the music thing could sway a lot of people. I hope that neither of these things happen to me and I do feel sorry for those with these disabilities but I'm interested to see everyone else's views.

But let's imagine that you're so deaf, you can't even talk. Can't hear the loudest of sounds. Would it be worth never actually hearing the words, "I love you"?

Still better than being blind, though.

Yeah. If you're deaf, you can still see loved ones. If you're blind, you can't and life is a guessing game.
