VS.

Stairs because

Side Score: 19

Elevators were invented for a reason, it was for convenience and ability to build tall buildings. Imagine walking the stairs in the Burj Dubai.

Elevators because they are convenient, fast, and a way for humans to get transported between floors without wasting energy. I understand people who want to use the stairs for the leg strength and cardio and whatnot; however, elevators are just simpler and easier.

I prefer stairs.

Elevators are made for people with trouble walking, and baby wagons, when you have a lot of baggage or if there is a million floors.

People with perfectly healthy legs, like myself, should learn to use the stairs, when we can. I know people who take the elevator no matter what, and I think it has become a bad habit.

But don't get me wrong, the elevator is an amazing equipment, and is a good tool for people in situations like broken legs and all the other stuff I mentioned above.

But We have to learn not to abuse it.

So, if you go to the Willis Tower or One World Trade Center, you are taking the stairs right. Only 100 stories.

No I wouldn't.

Look at my argument again, I believe I said this:

Elevators are made for people with trouble walking, and baby wagons, when you have a lot of baggage or if there are a million floors.

If there are a million floors, I would take the elevator, but I'm not afraid of a challenge ;) So if someone challenged me to take the stairs all the way up to Wills Tower, I would definitely try

i prefer stairs, because then your not stuck with some weirdo in an elevator. or someone who may not smell to good, maybe forgot deoderant (it has happened to me, and i swear to god, i almost DIED!). your not at risk at getting stuck in an elevator. by going up the stairs, you will have your excersize for the day.

I have seen several accidents on elevators and 27 people die from them every year. I've also seen Terminator and Die Hard, so I wouldn't want to be stuck in one.

Stairs because I find myself claustrophobic easily so lifts (or 'elevators' in america) are not ideal.

Taking the stairs is also a good way of exercising. It keeps you fit and strong.

We got made legs so we should use them elevators were made for people who can't walk long distances or elderly people or people with lots if baggage and with babies trolllies but if they were millions of stairs I would use the elevator. Also the stairs because I wouldn't want the elevator to break down while I'm in it

Taking the stairs is a good form of exercise and this generation is becoming too fat and lazy to do anything. Using elevators is justified for people with lots of baggage or people with prams etc.

I personally prefer stairs. I like to run quickly then jump up several of them. And on par with my desire to fly, I take a few quick steps, then one large one down them.

I wear good shoes to take the impact.

I can now make it clear up 8 six inch stairs and down, 16 of the same width.
