Nearsighted glasses... Is it because a lot of us are Asian? (I'm both, haha)

PS: I just got back from watching Iron Man 2, which was worth it~

btw this poll was all over the place, i feel like this next one will have more interesting results.

Lol, interesting new poll~
Seems like most people would give up smell so far.

I almost voted that too, then I thought of it...
"Yeah, if there was a gas leak in my house or something... I'd die."
Voted taste instead. xDD

None. This topic is too morbid to think about.

Not answering. My senses are already horribly dulled.

Sight and hearing would suck for obvious reasons.. I don't think the people that choose touch realize that they would be losing sex... Cause I don't see how people would rather lose sex than the taste of food tbh. I choose smell. Even though I would also lose about 50% of my taste from it as well. As for not caring about smelling. You can just buy a shit load of those gase detecting devises and put them everywhere in your house.. I much rather be able to taste things.

Me, too.
I voted for taste.
Same reason.
LOL. Though, I would rather not lose any senses.

I'm not asian and were glasses for my short-sightedness. Only when I have to mind, I hate them. But I have a phobia about my eyes so can't waer lenses or get laser surgery.

I'm suprised anyone chose sight or hearing. My hearing sucks but I couldn't imagine a world without music. As for touch it isn;t just the sex aspect but what about pain, you could burn yourself and not realise. Or never feeling the cool breeze on a hot day. I couldn't lose taste either, Somedays all you need is a cup of tea and a bar of chocolate to make the world right again. I chose smell, not that I want to lose that either, but I think I could manage without it better than any other sense.

I'm just gonna throw this out there and say that most of your sense of taste comes from your sense of smell.

yeah, that's why I picked taste. Food for me is more about the aroma and texture.

for everyone choosing small, you also lose taste. It's a very depressing situation to be in because you can't taste flavors any more... hope you like the black and white tastes of salty, bitter, sweet, etc and food texture because that's how it'll be

I wouldn't want to lose sight or be born blind. :/ It seems suckish to me. Not being able to read manga or see all the art that I love. It would be pretty hard to use the internet if you blind :/

________________

As I already lost smell, I can easily give it up.
I guess giving up smell is the least disadvantage. Hearing and visual are mostly used for communication, so would be bad to give those up. Touch would also be stupid to give up, but that is not so obvious. For example you could lose limbs because you didnt notice it got infected and similar stuff. Besides touch is also used for orientation and other stuff. Smell seems to be the only one which is only minor in all areas.

Better than being able to smell your food but not really taste it
