Which is worse clutter or dirt?

Dirt. Clutter is easy to pick up, rearrange, organize to look more like organized clutter but dirt is just dirt. Gotta be swept up, vacuumed up, cleaned up...and I hate vacuuming.

I suppose dirt is worse but one of my mottoes is "Cleanliness may be next to Godliness, but neatness is next to cleanliness." I HATE clutter but dirt, well, I can live with that.

Dirt is worse. Sometimes people (like me) are very well organized in all their clutter. Dirt is just ... ewww....dirt though.

dirt. I can live in clutter but filth is unacceptable.

Dirt, I think, although clutter tends to get to me.

definitely dirt!! it's harder to clean up.

I don't think either's that bad. Clutter is comfy, and dirt is natural.

Personally unless the dirt is reeking, unsanitary filth, I'd rather have dirt than clutter. A reasonable accumulation of dirt can be ignored. Clutter cannot.

If I can see it (dirt or clutter) it bothers me. Unseen clutter and dirt less irksome.

Definitely clutter. Dirt is easily cleaned away, but clutter you have to sort through and determine what it is and what to do with it.

I'd have to say dirt. You can easily get rid of clutter. Dirt has to be scrubbed, vacuum or otherwise gotten rid of!

Dirt, clutter can be cleaned up.

Dirt, absolutely. Clutter can be moved. Dirt can only be cleaned.

Nicci, 27

Both are bad. I tend to create more clutter, and I find it hard to work in clutter, so I spend more time clearing clutter.

where is the dirt?

Clutter, dirt fits in the vacuum cleaner and no one's willing to fight for it.

Dirt. I have a philosphy about my house -- it can be as cluttered as you want biut not dirty. Dirty to me pretty much means unsanitary.

Dirt. Clutter is just out of place. Dirt doesn't belong there.

Dirt. Definitely. I am surrounded by carefully dusted and washed clutter, and I like it that way.

This hypothetical situation seems unnecessarily complicated. Because terrorism exists, innocent people all over the world are in danger. Because we are fighting terrorism, our warriors are in danger.  All the same, terrorism must be confronted and punished.

Dirt is definately worse. Atleast clutter can be clean and sometimes organized.

Stephanie, 25

They both suck, but dirt is worse cause its dirty.  You could have a room full of clutter but at least its not dirty.
