would you rather: a)be born blind b)go blind at age 12

tinser Sep 18, 2003

ohhh, thats a good one...i think be born blind...that way you wouldn't know what you're missing out on. Ignorance is bliss

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002

to someone born blind, how would you explain "white"?

tinser tinserOG 2002

hmm, perhaps not knowing wouldn't be so great. Your view of the world would really be narrow (obviously i didn't mean literal view...since it would be nonexistant). But, maybe it wouldn't exactly be narrow, just different....whose to say?

Well, your other senses would be enhanced, not because that naturally just happens when you're born blind, but because you learn to depend on them to see things.

As an alternative, you can have chemicals thrown on your face so you can become a blind super-hero.

i read this and thought, i dont remember Jim Carrey ever doing that

malibu malibuOG 2001

no, its this really old movie with cher and this boy has a really messed up face and he is a camp counselor for all these "special kids" and he falls in love with a girl his age who is blind and he wants to make her see so he does the above experiment and it works.
