A very bad cold, I'm talking about stuffy and runny noses, deafening sneezes and violent coughing, sore throat head aches and clogged ears. A very bad flu, I'm talking about throwing up, diarrhea, aches and pains and fever.

For me, I'd kinda have to go with the cold. I wouldn't want either, but I really hate throwing up and diarrhea.

I'd rather not be violently expelling liquids and solids out of both ends. I pick the cold.

The cold, I caught it back in January, but I still threw up anyway. The flu is awful, I caught it three times, worst disease ever, expect for the ones that are known to kill very well.

The cold. At least with the cold, I wouldn't be stuck in bed. With the flu, it's pretty hard to motivate yourself to even sit up.

A cold all the way. The flu can last for way too long.

I had a very bad flu in November and almost died because I couldn't eat or drink ANYTHING (I mean I'd puke up water three minutes after drinking it)

I was in the hospital on IV for a couple days and solidly sick for 11 days, then it took another week or two for everything to get back in function

SO I'd much rather the cold

cold, because i don't think the symptoms are as bad as the flu, and i can just take meds so it's not as bad. actually, i nearly never get the flu, i don't remember the last time i got it (and i've never had a flu shot).

I pick the cold. I just got over the flu, worst disease I have ever had. I couldn't sit up for a couple of days, and I was worn out for the rest of the day just getting up and walking to the bathroom.:cry:

This is an odd question, it's almost like saying "Would you want a very bad cold, or organ failure?" because Flu is so much worse than a cold, hell, it's got all the symptoms a cold has and more.
