Hypothetical Situations

A friend of mine and I were discussing some hypothetical ideas/questions today, thought it would be cool to ask you all.

-Would you rather lose an arm or a leg?

-Would you rather lose two of chosen limb, or one of the other limb? Why?

-Would you rather be blind or deaf? Why?

I, for example, would rather lose a leg, then both my legs, because its easy enough to get prosthetic legs, but creating prosthetic arms with fully-functional hands is nearly impossible. Also, I would rather be blind because I am so much of a music addict that I couldn't live without my tunes. Granted I would be losing all ability to play video games, I rely on my hearing in those games as well (tracking a lone rambo through some hallyways), as well as to hear all the action and chaos.

What about all of you?

    I'd rather lpse a leg.
    I'd rather lose both legs than 1 arm...
    I'd rather be deaf. I'd also lose my System Of A Down...but Video games are really a passion for me, as nerdy as it sounds. I do what I like because I'm happy. I wish more people could do that <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I would rather lose a leg. I love my hands, and I'm not very physically active n e ways.

    One or both my legs, so long as my arms don't get hurt.

    I'd rather be...deaf. I can live without all the noise that I have to hear. My eyes, however, are very sensitive to movement. Though if I had to live without games, i'd rather be blind. I can tell distances very well with my eyes closed.

    leg and both because though I like them I don't want to draw/type with my feet =P
    There's always prosthetics too ^^

    deaf... i need my eyes to draw and look at pretty stuff but I'd have to relearn how to play games considering how much I rely on sound =s

    both legs, because they can easily make prosthetics. deaf, because it is easier to replace an ear than an eye (and TV has subtitles)

    If I had to choose I would rather have my arms cut off so I could have stubs and I would get a golf club put on the stub so I can still play golf.

    If I really had to choose I would rather have my brain placed in a robot body, then give up my arms or legs.

    I would rather get my legs cut off because as was stated prosthetic legs are common these days.

    As far as the deaf or blind I'd have to go with blind, because becomming deaf eventually leads to not being able to speak properly.

    Plus if you saw Once Upon a Time in Mexico you know that being blind doesn't stop you from being a badash gun wielding sex pot.
