Would you rather go blind?

| Most people on here are quite fond of music. However, if offered a straight choice between blindness or deafness, how many would take the blindness option? |

| Certainly not me. I don't like to think about it. |

| I would not want either for even a second,who would?However,what possibly would be worse than both of those horrible realities would be to get stuck in an elevator for 24 hours with nothing but rap music coming through the sound system of some business. |

| I'm a painter (art, not houses!), therefore blindness is the more horrific of the two for me. Also, I hate noise and someone somewhere is always using a chainsaw or an anglegrinder or playing techno/rap/crap, so there'd be a small advantage in deafness to offset the huge loss of pleasure. I had a distant relative who went deaf fairly early in life, and in later years lost her eyesight too. What a nightmare. |

| I like music a lot. I have music on most of the day. But I couldn't do my job if I was blind. I think deaf people probably can function better in our society than blind people can. |

| Considering what I've been doing since I was 12, I should have been blind long ago (according to the old wive's tale)! Anyway, much as I truly love music, if presented with a choice of blindness of deafness, I would prefer "Going Deaf For A Living" (thanks Fischer-Z). Ric |

| Hilarious post ric.I wonder if thousands are losing their hearing every time i see any recent top 100 lists of cd sales in rolling stone magazine. |

| When I was a working/starving musician, I would have chosen blindness. Now that I don't play my own music, I'm not that interested in anybody's music to any great extent- I think I immersed myself too deeply into the scene and burnt myself out. So I would choose deafness. |
