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 |

QUOTE(DaTru KataLYST @ Nov 21 2004, 5:19 PM) 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  Hahah what a dork. WAIT.. MOVE TO JAPAN, Jeff! The driver seat and wheel is on the right side of the car, thus the stickshift thingy (I don't know what it's called) will be on your left side! SUCCESS! *feels smart* Moo har har! Anyway, I write with my right hand.. but I cut with my left hand. I can't cut anything straight with my left hand because the scissors feel wierd on my hand. Not only that, but I once bought a pair of lefties scissors. And my question is.. Why do lefty scissors NOT cut?!?!. Especially at school, the lefty scissors I use never cut.. they just bend the paper... Haha. It's strange...  You see, they are trying to get lefties to change to righties!I think I might get arthritis at an early age from writing so much with my right hand.

I write with my left hand, but pretty much do everything else with my right hand, like throw, cut, etc. Yeah, I hate writing in spiral notebooks... I use wireless notebooks when I can. But other than that, I don't mind writing with my left hand. Lefties are cool.

QUOTE(Idyll @ Nov 21 2004, 2:56 PM) don't lefties also have to deal with the wires of spiral notebooks digging into their hands? i'm glad i'm a righty.  Right-handed people deal with the wires of the spiral notebooks on the left side.

I'm both, but the majority of the people living are right-handed. Basically, they still give out left-handed junk for lefties.
o.O And they die? Just read it, too. ummm.. that's sad. we should do something!! =] I heard that lefties were more smarter and creative.

im' not sure what to call myself!
half the things i do with my left and half the things i do with my right but its weird. like i would write, brush teeth, use spoon with my left. but i throw, kick, jump, punch, use scirros with my right. although when doign the highjump i'd jump from the left, which is where lefties jump from. oh well i consider myself left. i'm not asian... and i take chinese and i was told that writing would be very difficult. but its never been a problem so i have no idea what people are talking about. whoever said that lefties die 9 years sooner than righties? wtf. how are you suppose to calculate that? people die at different ages. do you just assume that when a leftie dies that they could have been 9 years older? wtf!? it makes no sense. also, whoever said that lefties die sooner because they use the wrong side if their brain is a dumbass. since when have humans used that side of their brain that they use the most? thats not how the brain works. everyone uses both hands in their life, i doubt being lefty or righty has any effect on your life at all. unless you are so stupid that you kill yourself. and with the whole smudgin ink on the hand thing. that use to be a problem for me in elementary school but i dont really hold my hand in a position to do that anymore. so its cool |

QUOTE(autumn. @ Nov 21 2004, 10:37 AM) left handed people die sooner. it's true. Agreed. Righthandedness is a dominant gene that will eventually cover out lefties. In reply to your rant... The world is mostly filled with righties. It is just a hassle to set aside 10% of your materials just for left handers. I mean, if I had the time and patience I would allow this space for lefties, since it's not their fault they use their left hand. But this is reality. Left handers fix things up themselves. maybe that's why many organized leaders are left handers. |
