I would also like to thank you for rubbing said stupidity in my face for several posts, it gave the wife quite a laugh. I hope you all develop hemorrhoids and they get infected.

Well, the bright side is someone got a laugh out of it. Now, go enjoy those awesome Postal speed runs.

There are definitely different gradients when it comes to colourblindness.
All three that I mentioned don't see the colours as regular people do. My roomate has difficulty with purples and blues. He'll sometimes check with me to see what colour a shirt he's thinking of buying is.
The other two I wasn't sure of specifics, but I know that they just generally had problems distinguishing colours, particularly from others.

Ha! Yeah, it's good to be of sound body.

To bad your pun couldn't involve sight rather than hearing. I guess it's not really a pun then? Perhaps I should say that I wish you would have accomplished a pun?

Yeah, that's what you should say. I was just appreciating not having any disabilities.

What be so awesome?

NOT BEING BLIND.

Wrong thread!

Although, I'm glad I have nothing beyond minor eczema and astigmatism.

I know, I'm segueing into it.

I'm glad that I have nothing beyond minor stigmata.

That's nothing compared to double stigmata. Loser.

Exactly. I'm glad that I have the less severe version of illness. There's nothing to be proud of in being more disease-ridden than all of your fellow classmates, except for the trophy I got.

Well, you're only half as cool as double stigmata boy! So, nyeh!

I've always wanted to be blind. I know realistically it would suck, but the idea of never being able to maintain judgment in appearance is pretty beautiful to me.

I have actually entertained this idea before, but I never articulated it because I thought it would sound way creepy.
(I still think it sounds less creepy coming from you than from me.)

Ah, the innocence of a child!

I don't entertain these ideas for very long, because I can't ever really get past the thought of the day-to-day difficulties that would arise. Upon your thought, though, wasn't it Ahmet the Wise* who said that we'd just find other ways to judge people if we all looked the same?

*I guess that's not really what he's called.
