For me, it's a tossup between mobility and speech. I need to be able to see, because I love to read and write on the computer. I need my sight to design and create, need it for my future vocation. (digital animation/game design) A silent world wouldn't be terrible, but music is just too precious to me, as is the ability to communicate with others. Learning sign language would be tedious for me, and making others write down what they need me to hear would be unfair to them. I've participated once in the day of silence, and I didn't say more than 5 words (by accident :/ ) for some 7 hours. It was intensely lonely. I felt so badly for all the people I knew who didn't speak up because they were afraid or shy. I know what it feels like to have something to say but be unable to say it, and it really is very lonely. So that leaves mobility. As terribly guilty as I feel saying this, I don't move around a lot. I spend a lot of time at the computer. I spend a lot of time sitting in cla.ssrooms, driving around. I would miss riding my bicycle with my dog, but I'm sure I could train her to a wheelchair. Life would be a little more of a ha.sse, but I think I would choose to be unable to walk over all the others. Plus with a wheelchair I could train Pepper to behave super nice and take her to cla.ss with me. Epic win.

Sudo (pet is Wertymgh). If I had to lose one ability, it would be sight for sure. Getting to imagine what everything looks like on your own instead of seeing it every day actually sounds kind of appealing to me...Plus, I could get a seeing eye horse or something (I saw them on Oprah!).

Sudo: I would pick unable to walk, because I sit and draw in my free time anyway. I also tell people stories, funny stories so if was mute I woulnd't be able to say my ideas, and if I wad deaf I wouldn't be able to hear people laugh. If I was bind, I woulnd't be able to draw. Also, some days I wish I could cut off my legs because my job makes me stand for 4- 7 hours each day. It makes me tired. And I would be able to pimp out my wheel chair.

Sudo<3 If I had to lose an ability, one of my major senses or the ability to walk, I would choose going blind. Without being able to hear, I would go crazy, my life depnds too much on music to lose that. If I couldn't walk, I couldn't run or rollerblade, two of my other p*censored*ions in life. Without being able to speak, I couldn't be in coir, once again, my life depnds on music. If I was blind, I couldbetter detect when my tune was off in choir, I could read braille to gt my notes for music, and I would still be able to read.

I would rather live without sight because sometimes your other senses get hightend, besides when your blind you dont see what people are but who they are. Sudo

Without hearing, I would be so useless. I can't move without hearing, for some reason. My hearing was damaged once and I just sat there for days, too weirded out to move. I would lose either my ability to walk, or see. Sudo~

If I had to loose one of my senses I would choose to be mute. Honestly I am quiet anyway, but being mute gives me a reason not to talk to people. It would also save others from me snapping at them if they say something to offend me. I aquired my mother's power in using large words to confuse an angry person which makes them sort of helpless so it would be doing a lot of people a favor for me going mute. I once participated in a day of silence for a cause in which I shall not explain because it is way to long, so I think I could live with being mute. I could totally tell them off by writting. I'm good at writting poison pen letters. ^.^ I couldn't be deaf because music means everything to me. It is my connection and the whole reason I am sane. I couldn't be blind because sight means a lot to me too. I would die if I couldn't see my neices or the lovely nature surrounding my house. Sudo. And my pet is Chimby.

If I could choose what I had to lose, I would choose being mute. Here are my reasons: 1. Through writing I can express a lot more, and speech has never really been my strong point. 2. I could still hear what people are saying to me and communicate in different ways. 3. I need my eyes for art and writing, and I need my ears for music for it is my favorite thing in the world, and I want my legs because walking helps me think silently. Sudo :) To add one thing, I've participated in the day of silence for all those who could not speak out and be open about themselves and it was extremely hard to go all day without talking, but I did manage to communicate with my teachers and others in better ways, I find. But it was hard indeed.
I will not be on often, only to chat with friends. I am not selling any pets. Only giving them to close friends.

WE TALKED ABOUT THIS IN TOK D<. Anyone who's studied TOK will understand that every single lesson is like this: - 'We have [insert number] ways of [insert verb]: ________, __________, and __________. If you would give up any one of them, which one?'
- Reply '[insert one of the options]'
- 'OMG U PEEPLE ARE SO SILLY' [do excersize to disprove you]
- 'See? You can't live without it. Now choose again'
- Repeat 2, 3 and 4 until all choices are just disproved.
TOK's supposed to 'open your mind'; but in the end, it's just fascist. I would pick losing my legs. 'Cause I'm really physically inactive.
I (HATE)' YOU
