Would You Rather Be Blind Or Have No Arms ?

Pat's Van · May 4, 2013

So if you had to choose or something, what would you go for ?

If you're blind then you'd have to rely on like your spidey senses becoming more effective and that

but if you're unarmed, then you have to learn to type with your feet and do other stuff

what say you ?

Hmmm, tough one. But, I can't really think of anything worse than being blind, so I'd lose the arms

Nice thread btw, if you had to kill your son or daughter who would you pick?

The arms would go, prostheitcs added and then it would feel like someone else was tossing me off.

Would hate to be blind. On the plus side though, it'd make it easier to shag the wife.

I'd rather have arms.

well I have a reason for posting this thread

mulled over adding it to the original post but decided against it as didn't want it to influence responses so checked it with the mods instead

I have no disabilities whatsoever BTW, others however, aren't so lucky

No arms any day. I imagine being blind as horrific.

Blind - I reckon it'd be much easier to adapt.
I've seen elderly relatives with ARMD ( Macular Degeneration ) who've coped amazingly well.

I understand the sentiment, been in a similar situation here, and it must be awful not to be able to see your grandkids, but at least she can give them a hug.

*backs out feeling a bit sad.

I know an old chap, 65, who has been blind since age 25. I asked him why he seemed so unbothered by it, and he told me in his eyes his wife still looks 22 to him. Pretty touched I was.
