Definitely. I don't think I'd care if I never had to speak again.

@Fear: I meant taste/sight/smell/touch/sound. Sorry for the confusion. :-)

Ah, I'd keep my sense then! Though now that I think about it if it were my 'smarts' I would keep those over language too.

Sense are better because I don't think I would have much problem with not having language. I could just go off into the woods build a shelter, hunt turkey, deer and bear and gather berries and be perfectly happy by myself. I wouldn't need to talk!

How exactly can you have language without senses? I suppose you could have it in your head, but how would you communicate?

The movie that song/video’s based on is depressing as hell.

it would suck not to be able to write.

then again, without senses I'd have nothing to write about.

I'm keeping senses.

You couldn't speak without your senses.
You couldn't read without your senses.
You couldn't use Braille without your senses.
You couldn't use sign language without your senses.
You couldn't write without your senses.

Could go on and on.
