lefties, no, not politics Options

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

Actually being left handed in China is very very bad. You would not be able to function correctly to the extent that parents have to smack the "leftness" out of you when you're a baby.

And it's like, 300% harder to write characters when you're left handed, as strokes are made from left to right. That makes writing characters extremely frustrating and yucky!

I don't quite agree with this. Hello, at least the ink won't smudge that way when you're writing from right to left... lol. But nowadays even Chinese write horizontally from left to right... too bad for lefties.

Although I'm a rightie, but I remember I sat with left-handed people a few times in school... with me on the left and the leftie on the right. You can picture that now. So, everytime we need to write something, our elbows crash and both of our handwriting gets all fudgy and messed up. lol
