I know quite a few dim-witted left handers.
It’s nice to know that right handers live a bit longer, but how is it accurate to say that left handers are more intelligent and artistic?
I know someone who can’t spell, do math or draw to save her life.
I wish there were a site that would say “Out of a SELECT GROUP, a larger amount of left handed people are intelligent and artistic than the right handed poeple assessed.”
It’s not like they’ve tested the whole entire population.
There really aren’t many of those sites.
I know most left handed people are proud to be called smart, but please don’t rub it in the faces of the apparently “less interesting” righty’s.
It’s cool you’re different, be proud, have fun. Just please keep it to a minimum.
Now, I know i’m going to get snarled at for this, but hear me out..
I’m savin’ some sensitive righty’s here.

Oh, and left handers really DO deserve a day for themselves. It really is a tough world out there, those viscious right handed tools and what not.

Good luck!

This is generally offensive.

No one should make a person write with the opposite hand!! That is ludicrous. There is no basis to do this.

Secondly, the old saw about shorter life expectancy has been long disproven.

Go left!!

PS the “sinister” had to do with approaching with your RIGHT hand extended in apparent friendship, while your LEFT hand was concealed, holding a weapon. SO, LEFT handed persons were actually not the sinister ones….

i’m 14. i was naturally born a lefty, but my dad found out we die at an earlier age, so i had to switch. it’s funny though, because many, and i mean MANY people from southeast asia are born lefties.. more than in other places. my dad made me switch but it wasn’t too succesful, because starting first grade i wrote with my right hand, colored with my left, ate with my right, brushed my teeth with my left, etc. i can now eat/press spacebar(hey it’s confusing sometimes)/write with both hands. most of the things i do subconsciously, like brush my hair or using a knife, i do it with my left hand ^^ too bad my life will end early. oh, and being able to write with both hands is great! i can write with any hand if i hurt the other or i can write while using the computer mouse. my dad was a natural lefty too, but he’s at least 97% completely righty. i have no idea how he did it.

as in writing left and writing right at the same time in one person, being able to use your other hand doesnt mean your both, it has to be as tough as writing only

I`m not for sure just what all this means or what but I was using both of my hands at an early age I learned to write draw and use all objects with both hands . Although they say I was predominately left .

well, i’m a natural righty, but due to an injury when i was 5, i learned to become ambidextrous. My father is left-handed and my mother is right-handed. Their three children are: my brother(20) is left-handed, my sister(23) is right-handed and i (17) am ambidextrous, but unnaturally ( Or so i’m told). I’m just glad that i can use both hands to do anything rather than being limited to just one dominant hand. I feel bad for some one-handed people because there are many activities where ambidexterity is a positive thing ( Sculpting, fishing, playing piano, typing etc…). I have always been interested in handedness ever since i was like 10 when i did a report on the disadvantages of being left-handed ( At the time, i was mainly left-handed ). I don’t really know the disadvantages by first-hand experience, i still can understand the difficulties. But, due to lefties’ durability, those difficulties can be overcome. LEFTIES and AMBIDEXTERS RULE, lol.

well im a lefty and i was just looking for somewhere to read what other people have to say because i have a right handed friend who basically got mad at me and used the whole “you are going to die sooner” thing against me as if it were a threat. I have read somewhere that it might not even be true! I play volleyball and since i was little the people who taught me pretty much made me to be right handed so now i hit and serve right handed. I wish I had been given an equal opportunity to learn laft handed if not then both. I do have two friends who are left handed so that’s awesome. I’m not discriminated against by my family. ROCK ON LEFTIES!
