probably touch.
life would be weir dwithout a sense of taste, sight, smell, and hearing. touch i could probably get used to easier :P hahah
idk
Mmmmmmmmmmmmm smell, as long as it didn’t take taste with it. I need to read and to listen to music to live.
My Hearing. I’m preparing myself for that so I may as well get used to it. LOL.
Taste means almost nothing to me compared to the others.
No one has said sight yet.
Which would you choose PrinzeCharmin?

having no taste doesnt mean you odnt have to eat lol :P
Angel, you’re right. That one IS easier to adjust to not having. Laina, my feelings exactly, even if we had to deal with a few stinky farts. Personally, I’m Italian. So, taste IS pretty much ALL Italian, and even if I were to still eat food - I could never enjoy the unique flavors..

but means you don’t eat because you don’t see anything nice abut it…i mean, you don’t feel the taste of things…you wouldn’t eat chocolate for ie if it didn’t taste like that =P

Not rly!
you wouldn’t know when to stop doing something, if you’re having a heart attack, or anything at all, so you’d need someone to look after you always =P
And I’m argentinean and italian too =P
lol

I don’t know… I can’t imagine not tasting the burn of jalepeno peppers and spices, the taste of freshly cooked bread, the way watermelon tastes on a summer day or… well, you get my point.

That could apply yeah…for example playing a game or something—it’s be like being anesthetized the whole time

I don’t think so either.
I’d go crazy if someone was holding/hugging/kissing me and I couldn’t feel it. That one is second most important to me. :)

i dont get it…….lol
Isn’t there some sort of thing where a person can’t feel pain. Like it’s a proper diesease type thingy….I forget the name of it though….I think it’s quite dangerous to have though.

Yes, there is, I think it’s like CIPA, something like that, Chronic Insensitivity to Pain… something.
haha I’m glad to see people thinking about relationships. What IF we couldn’t see our significant other, smell their unique smell.. taste their lips against your own, feel the warmth or actually feel the hands we hold onto .. ? And most importantly, hear them whisper sweet nothings into our ears? Which allows me to realize.. body language is not to be heard, but to be seen .. or then again, not to be heard nor seen, but felt… and language of its own, has caused the clash between civilizations .. so hear, would definitely be one to achieve more peace in life..I must agree with. =]
Yeah Laina thats the one! That must be soooo scary to have.

but make sure to use “see” more often, to avoid realizing last minute, that you’re in the middle of the road ..

I think people would be more cautious and aware of life if we had lost the ability to hear. Maybe, understand other cultures better, realizing that racism is more by what we hear, rather than what we see.. ?
Taste I would lose because I can barely taste as it is and would rather eat for sustenance rather than pleasure anyway.

Really?

why can you barely taste?
I don’t know. I just cant. Could have been the nose bleeds as a child, or something wrong with my mouth. Most things taste the same to me, and it is more their texture and temperature that tell me what they taste like.
See Laina, every day you find out I am more messed up then you thought XD
smell…I don’t mind if I can’t smell perfume. There are only few scents that smell good by nature. I don’t really need the sense of smell to do my work and live my life. It’s like having colds everyday… You couldn’t smell the bad things nor the good things but it doesn’t really make a grave impact.
i thought this was easy when i first read it but its realy hard i need touch not to know if my sons were going on to somthing soft or not would be scary we dont always see dangers but feal themlike if somthing is hot or cold my sight is very important seen my sons smile is priceless so it would have to be smell taste or hearing in this age i dont think i could cope without hearing lafter is a grate sound so 2 left taste has grate things but i could do with liking the taste of more thing so it must be smell but then that would mess up the taste and what if there was a gass leek!!!!!!!!!
Thank you everyone for participating. It was great to really see others who actually understand that I was not just looking for an answer, but to analyze the question, actually think it over, and then respond. =]
sight
The sense of Sight, Smell, Taste, Hearing, Touch.
First, the senses have been provided for OUR SURVIVAL. As an additional bonus, it helps with differentiating between pleasure and pain - warning and delighting us at the same time. In the worst case scenario and given the choice, I would give up the sense of smell because I am aware of what its like and can imagine that when I see a flower or raw earth in the rain….Its gonna be tough, but there are some people living without essential senses like Sight, Hearing or Touch…I am of the personal opinion that losing the sense of smell is not as bad as that.
