The Amputation Question!!!

The South Islands

Which would you rather lose, an arm or a leg?

I'll give up a leg over an arm anyday.

Yeah, leg. Mostly for the sake of reading books and playing nintendo. IF it came down to two legs or one arm though, then I'd have to ditch the left arm.

This is one or the other.

Leg (or legs) my arms are my third most valued possession.
Don't get me wrong, legs are cool and shit, but they just don't rank that high on my list.

I honestly have to wonder how that works exactly for women. Like... carve it out? Sew it up? What?

Genitalia: Arms trump penis.
I can't become "a man with nothing to lose, out on the dark city streets, looking for revenge" using only my penis.

I'm surprised so many people want to lose a leg. Unless you had a prosthetic replacement (which may not necessarily be top-of-the-line, depending on money/health care/etc), you'd probably end up in a wheelchair for the rest of your life or such. Losing an arm, on the other hand, doesnt necesarily mean lack of movement abilities. Of course, the main question is whether you're losing the dominant arm or not...

No and I'm positive there's a reason for that. See, the point of having sex is not to damage your partner beyond repair so that the option to have sex again is available. Unless you're a necrosadist in which case I guess it wouldn't matter much.

A Necrophile doesn't act with the goal of damaging anything. A number of them also had "extended relationships" with their "partners." A necrosadist is the sort that acts with violence and the goal of destruction. They're the sort who dig up corpses and jack off on the remains.

This thread has the Goofball Seal of Approval! :D

I'd rather lose an arm. True enough I have a spare leg, but using it for more than a few steps rather stings. With one arm, I can still stealth-tackle them while they are delivering my mail or trying to 'save my soul' or any other combination of violence and total strangers that relies heavily on the rapid contact of a flying body. :)

All my limbs or my genitalia? Limbs. Why? Becuse then I might become the Bionic Goofball. If I lose my genitals...well, let's just say that has already been predicted by people on this forum. :(

I have messed up my leg pretty bad before and couldn't walk on it for a month so, I guess being in a wheel chair all that time I kinda figured out what it would be like to not have use of a leg. (although it would be different not to have one at all) I have had a broken arm before too, and couldn't use it for about 4 weeks. So given my experience (which I suppose doesn't mean too much)

I would go leg. Other than the fact that it's a pain in the butt to try to get around in a wheel chair, I don't see much of a downside when comparing it to losing my arm.

I need my arms (both of them) to do lots of good stuff (like hug my kids)

There's more options for the lack of a leg. Prosthetics, crutches, wheelchairs...

As for the other question, I'll keep my limbs.
Evenrue
19-12-2005, 15:14
I'm actually an orthotic and prosthetic technition so I actually make arms and legs. Personally I would loose both legs before I would give up my arm. I know that to loose a leg you can actually live a very normal life. With an arm everyone knows you're different and small menial tasks become damn near impossible. Plus I beleive legs cost less than arms. and are easier to maintain and are easier to make.
I actually would be to broken up by loosing a leg. I would be upset at first because I have nice legs but it wouldn't be the end of the world...at least my legs would be the same length...lol
SoWiBi
19-12-2005, 15:33
this really suprised me.

i would go for losing the arm over the leg anytime.
apart from having one arm rendered, well, let's say less useful due to lack of a hand, i'd generally say that losing an arm leaves you less impaired than losing a leg.

as in: legs, i use mainly for walking/running/etc. loss of one of them would make it completely impossible to do that at all.

with arms, there are few actions, compared to that, that require you to use both arms in order to do them. hugging you can do with one arm, riding a bike is just fine with one arm, you may be able to carry less but carrying you can still do that, with avery small adjustment that costs you about 70$ you can drive a regular car, etc
