I'd never go to the Sharing too ^_^' I don't like this kind of clubs... I'm too "antisocial", as said my teachers...

Without the war, to have a Yeerk in his head may be cool... think about the twin of Visser 3... He made money by using the Yeerk technology in Human society ;)
But of course, if you don't like your Yeerk or if he doesn't like you... it wouldn't work! lol

If the question was would I want a yeerk, probably not. I hate needles, and I imagine I would freak having a yeerk crawling in and out of my ear, injecting itself into my brain.
Until then we fight.

Not only does it depend on the Yeerk, but it also depends on what the Yeerk offers me. I mean, if they tell me that I must have a Yeerk in my head, or my Grandmother would be killed, then I'd choose infestation. However, I'd really hate to turn against my own race...

definitely voluntary if it was a peaceful one, such as in #29.
giving the gift of eyesight and hearing is always nice.

of course, the best action would just to give the yeerks the morphing power, then they could morph humans (and to avoid duplications, they could do Ax's technique in book #4)

I must admit that if The Sharing had been a club when I was in high school I probably would have joined and probably would have been tricked into becoming a voluntary controller. I just had that sort of personality. I kind of went with whatever my friends were doing, and I didn't want to be the dissenting voice. Since we were all very active in the school I see us joining The Sharing and becoming full members together, not realizing our plight until too late.

Now, it would depend on the situation. As was mentioned above, it depends on the situation. If someone had a gun pointed at me or someone I loved I would take infestation. If I was guaranteed a YPM Yeerk I would probably accept infestation. If I were in the Sharing nowadays and got to the "full member" bit I don't think I would become a voluntary, but at that point its too late for you regardless - I'd just be involuntary.

So basically, no matter how you look at it, I'm screwed.  :-\

I would never be a voluntary controller; the chances that I would have become one, not likely. I really don't join any clubs, no matter if I want to go or not so I defintiely wouldn't get tricked by joining the sharing. but I am one of those sad lonely people, to be honest. I don't get along with a majority of people, so I'm really ignored most of the time. I sound along like one of those people who would have went to the sharing if nothing else worked out.

um...this is beside the point, but does anyone notice something wrong with the poll. 7 people said yes, 25 people said no, and yet it says total voters: 31. Last I checked 7+25 doesn't equal 31...

Maybe it just doesn't include yourself as a voter.

Anyways, this is off topic.

I have a question relating to the topic. Does anyone see the benefits to being a voluntary controller? Besides the fact you don't get locked up in a cage and can watch TV for a while on your own.. thats not a very good benefit.

You don't get your butt kicked for trying to fight against them, although you are pretty much handing the Yeerks your life and a little extra freedom whereas to them you're still just as expendable.

If you had reason for access to Yeerk tech, like Taylor and all the reconstructive surgery she had, then I can see someone wanting to be voluntary, for sure.

No.  I would not.  I don't like someone dictating what I can and cannot read, much less someone dictating how I move, speak, and whatnot. >:( :fighting0040: :sign0195:

I can be very willful, stubborn (a hallmark of my family) and . . . I have a temper.  Poke a tiger repeatly, and you get the gist.  I'd fight everyday.  I wouldn't relent.  Of course, if one of my loved ones (I have precious few now) was threatened, I would accept a Yeerk, but it wouldn't technically be voluntary.  I would not break -- and I probably be killed instead of being infested.
