The Senses

I'm surprised Sight is ahead as it is. I should have rephrased the poll.

If you lost a fight against Raiden, and in his mercy he allowed you live, but you must sacrifice four senses to keep one, which sense would you keep?


Would everyone really want to see if they couldn't touch, taste, hear or smell anything??

Who the fuck's gonna pick smell? Honestly.

Anyone who picks anything other than sight or sound is stupid.

Question #2, I'd give up everything as long as I could still hear music.

gotta smell that pussy before I bury my face up in there.

I'm not sure how important touch is to survivability. What does it mean exactly to lose everything related to the sense of touch? Could you still sense pressure, pain? If not, you would probably develop a form of leprosy and die. I'm not even sure you could swallow and digest food properly...you couldn't tell if you just crapped or not, etc. It would just be too bewildering, especially in conjunction with all the other senses you lost (against the one you decided to keep).

Okay, you keep hearing but lose sight,touch, taste? Good luck getting food into your mouth, you'd have no way of knowing. I suppose if you just had sight, you could get visual confirmation on everything...you could still read and write, but you'd be in the hospital all the time for little body issues that become problems because your body can't feel them to know to fix/heal it.

So, out of sheer practicality I vote touch.

I vote suicide.

I chose sound becuase you can't make a movie without it, not even a "silent" one. And two, I use it to motivate me through daily chores.

I like the picture I chose in the OP. I was googling google and flickr for bliss, euphoria, nirvana and came up on it. It covers all bases:

Sight - It's a picure dumb ass
Hearing - it's a band, Nirvana
Smell - Novoselic's smelling the weed, Channing wants you to smell it
Touch - you can almost feel those prickly weeds comming out at the front and scratching your face
Taste - the photo's in b/w and you're just waiting for Skittles Rainbow to bust out so you can taste it.


So maby that means sight is the greatest?


true story.


EDIT: Nevermind, can't argue with Fury's logic.

Makes sense logically, but I don't think anyone would choose that for the simple sake of keeping your useless body alive as long as possible. You'd just be in complete darkness, not knowing what's going on around you, except that every now and then you can feel someone feeding you.

Nah, if all but one of my senses were taken away, I'd live with what short time I had left enjoying the sights of life. I may not be able to smell, touch, taste, or listen to anything new, but there's more than plenty to see to keep the brain entertained through such a sad existence.

Man. Raiden's a dick.
