Dumb, you wouldn't require as much assistance then if you were deaf or blind, you could get on with your normal life except...you'd just need one of those etch-a-sketch boards with you lol (or learn sign language)
P.S. People would think you were a great listener lol

Dumb.
1- I don't want to lose either of the other senses
2- I can still communicate by writing on paper
3- If I was deaf, it wouldn't even matter if I could speak, because I wouldn't be able to hear myself.
4- People might THINK I'm deaf, and then I can eavesdrop of their conversations and get all the gossip!

I would be dumb. Because there are ways of talking with out words. But it would be hard to never see my friends, family and all the beautiful things that are in the world. And it would be really hard to never hear someone say my name or anything again.

Blind cause there isn't much that I want to see in this world because things are so messed up in the world and I don't like watching it

A person who can't talk isn't called a "dumb" they are called a "mute". I'd rather be mute.
