I ask you, Can we live in a world of Disparity among Left handers?YES WE CANCan we climb this mountain and reach the pinnacle of living in a world meant for equailty?YES WE CANCan we build it?YES WE CAN
Just too funny. Reminds me of the racism workshops in elementary school where you're taught to hate the "brown-eyed" people to illustrate a point. At any rate, I've been asked many times over the years if I was "right handed" and I always say yes. Yes, I'm right handed - I have two hands and I use two hands. I'm ambidextrous and I have my father to thank for that. When I was only four or five, I was left-handed. It was honest prejudice on his part that punished me for it until I became right handed. Of course, the joke is on him because, as an ambidextrous person, I have fewer limits on me than most and I'm more talented than I ever would have been. Some day, I will place two handprints in the dirt of his grave. That will be MY unambiguous point.
OMG, never has an issue so affected me before. I suffered my first discrimination as a left-handed person when I was first learning to write...with crayons. *sob* (I may need a minute here. This is hard for me.) It was the early 70s, I was at my grandparents' house, I was coloring with my left hand, it was instinctive. I was doing it naturally. How could a 4-year-old know any different? My grandfather grabbed the crayon from my left hand, slapped my left hand, said "NO!", and put the crayon in my right hand. I clearly remember my mother swooping down on me and defending me. "If he's a leftie, he's a leftie. You will not change my son!" *sob again*She kinda did the same thing when I told her I was gay. :)
I have a left handed friend who is definitely into music, both writing and singing. Also he is very perceptive and well in touch with his emotions, and I think genius fits as well. I think the theory should stay.
all right you ass h**es, this is more outrageous then racial segregation. What was with that comment "I want to be able to get along with left-handed people, but I don't want to go up to them and say "Wattup, my leftie" if that's going to offend them." What a douche bag. Its just totally out there that only this guy would think to say that crap

"Right Hand Challenged" is also acceptable.

It's okay, I don't mind if she uses her left hand.

I don't know why you're being dugg down. If you have two hands and play baseball, you're going to put the glove on the hand that doesn't throw.
