have you noticed how the world is completely against left handed people?
school desks- as if those desks arent uncomfortable enough, lets just put the arm rest only on the right side, which makes writing with your left hand completely akward sissors- cutting with sissors and getting straight lines or good curves is just hard computer mouses/mice/meeces- theyre on the right, which although over time you adjust, it still makes drawing steadily difficult, especially when vectoring, which might just account for part of the reason im so terrible at it writing left to right- with our writing system, moving you hand left to right with your right hand is quite easy because you can pull it along, where as lefties have to push their hand along the paper, which takes more energy, is slower, and it gets the side of your hand rediculously dirty because it rubs the paper and smears the lead/ink see, its not easy, and its not fair. we should start a left handed peoples support activist group, or something of the sort. i mean sure, i may be able to get a scholarship for it, but thats about the only advantage. this unfair treatment of left handed people is unjust, and at the very least they should provide some lfet handed desks |

Yea the thing about left handed dying soon I have heard. I heard it is because they are more prone to accidents since things are built for the right handed people. So like lefties using chainsaws will hack off their parts cuz they can't control it. Sad really. It does always make me mad when I find a cool guitar and it is for a lefty.

Yerp, I'm left handed too... But then again, it's not as uncommon as you might think. There's at least 6 or 7 people in every one of my classes who are left handed, and they have the same problems as the rest of us living in a right handed world. I wish I could write with both hands... or maybe get some smudge-proof pencils or something... Heh.

yeah..
I'm left-handed. Alot of my teachers felt bad for me when it came to writing a paper, so they let me type it. well, most of them, anyways... Do you know that 2,500 lefties die each year, from attempting to use right handed products, 'cause it was the only thing there? I agree that we should start an activists group.  Great idea, Nikki(I hope that's your name..) |

I have heard that left handed people die on average of 10 years sooner than right handed people. Don't feel left out! Did you know all polar bears are left handed?
I'm glad i'm a righty, i've tried to use my left, but it's just... too hard... |

I'm a leftie too. I hate it when the ink gets all over my pinky...it sucks. I hate writing in notebooks too, the spiral part always gets in the way. They should make a left-hand store for us...haha. ( you probably don't get what i mean by that but oh well.)

I'm a righty...
But my friend is a lefty... it's kinda weird how she writes...  And I don't think it's fair for lefties, either... For field hockey, u have to hold ur right hand on the "shaft" (hehe) and ur left on the top of it... and u hit with the flat part.... but if ur a lefty, u have to do the same thing... not the other way... And i wonder what you do when you play the violin/viola/cello.... since u have to bow with it with ur right hand... |

It's not that hard to play the violin if you're left-handed...not for me, anyway. when i was little, my uncle would always ask me why i would always make my paper go diagonally when i wrote, instead of making it straight...so whenever i would try to make my paper straight, my handwriting would go really bad...>< |

i'm left handed! =] I'm unique. YOU're NOT!
But I'll die sooner in a car crash because my right hand couldn't pull on the gears correctly. XD |
