Would you rather be deaf of blind? I'd choose deafness. Mozart still got his shit on.

Deaf - more intellectual pleasures: reading, watching movies, going to art galleries.
Blind: Better and more active sex life. 100% invalidity insurence.
Mmmhhhh decisions decisions...
Besides beethoven went deaf I belive, not mozart...

Wait, wait, how do you figure blind=>better+more active sex life? Just that because you can't see who you're fucking, you'll be less picky?
I'd choose deafness, I suppose.

It would have to be deafness. Not being able to walk about without hindrance would be a pain in the ass. There's also the issue that porn is a lot better when you can see it.

a few weeks ago i was sitting at a 4 way stop behind another car, who happened to pull way out into the cross walk. this blind lady comes strutting down the cross walk with her cane and bumps into the asshole, smiles and waves and walks around him in the intersection...blind would be tough, i really like music and all, but i would lose all the fun of getting dressed.

I've had a few blind customers call up with those talking computers and they whizz around it faster that most people with 20/20 vision do ! They rock
Type talk (deaf) customers are a pain though

the worst is when i know what the person is doing wrong, but i'm not allowed to interject in any way! frustrating! lots of times they type like they're using their nose or something, too.

well, i work for an ip relay service, so really it is available to anybody with a computer and an internet connection..so do we ever! tons of nigerian scammers...they order tons of merchandise with fake credit cards posing as deaf people. lots of people fall for it; there are even forums all about this stuff online. plus teenagers who want to prank call their friends, or make the operator swear and say sexy stuff or whatever. pretty obnoxious. but it's a nice service for the deaf/hoh/speech disabled, because they can use it with their mobile pages as a sort of cell phone thing.

Wait, wait, how do you figure blind=>better+more active sex
life? Just that because you can't see who you're fucking, you'll be less picky?
That's a reason...
Also because women usually feel more sorry for blind guys than for deaf ones...
Also women will be more friendly with you as they won't think that you are talking to them just because they have boobies.
Also you won't know if you are good looking or not, thus making you much more confident on that side. (Besides that such confince will count double as you are an invalid)
No one will blame you for not having a sense of style.
You'll never make the mistake of looking at another girl's ass.
Being blind creates this barrier that neutralizes all of women's defense mechanisms. You are not a guy trying to hit on her but just someone that wants to talk and that eventually can fall in love with her.
Obviously these are stereotypes.

I'd prefer deafness, if it came to that. More of my interests can be enjoyed without sound than without vision. Life would also be slightly less dangerous.
I think it's a moot point anyway, since I'd probably be driven to suicide if I couldn't listen to music anyway.

Only about 5% of blind or visually impaired people can actually read braille anyway. My mum used to work at a centre for the blind, and old blind people lead pretty depressing lives from what i've seen. It basically revolved around knitting and waiting to die, interspersed with incontinence.
