    if you had a choice when you were born would you have preferred to be left handed or right handed....


    im a rightie but if i had to choose i would definitely prefer to be a leftie. it just seems so much cooler. i suppose its an enigma of sorts.


    what do ye think.


    also, should there be a forum for left handed people, where they could discuss all they problems they might face on a daily basis etc etc...
    :D

    But I bet you feel better since she forced the Devil out of you...I'd be left handed as its supposedly linked to the creative side of the brain.

    Cackhandedness is clearly a genetic defect that is found in roughly 10% of the population.

    I think masturbating with your left hand would be weird.

    Try it out. Then try switching hands mid way without missing a stroke. You can thank me later.

    Right handed?
    The Latin word for left is sinister, that will tell you what they thought of left handed people.

    I'm left handed and this is a right handed world from power tools to a scissors, checkbooks, the old school desks with the inkwells, even tea cups.

    I play music and try get a left handed instrument in most diciplines is difficult. I have never seen a left handed player in an orchestra. Golf for a left hander must be interesting (I don't play). When I was an apprentice I got caught up in a maching because I was left handed so being a leftie in a right handed world is a bundle of laughs.

    Us lefties think differently, we see things differently. The best description of left handed people I have heard is to imagine a troop of soldiers marching in fresh snow. They all march in the same footsteps. We reach the places they don't.
    Would I change - no.

    I'd only need to switch or use both hands if I was eating a sandwich at the same time.

    I'm right handed, BUT use my left for fapping.

    Think lefties are a bit odd. Creative me left nut. They're just strange, and trying to decode that chicken scratch handwriting is a pain in the bumhole.

    My children better not be left handed or Welsh, for their sakes!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 345 ✭✭Randy Shafter


    Right handed?
    I'm left handed myself. Strange thing is i cant play a guitar set up for a left handed person. I find it impossible. Yet i can play a guitar set up for a right handed person no bother and i prefer it that way for some reason.

    life is fraught with danger for us lefties,a lot of workplace accidents taking place when lefties use right-handed tools.
    i see someone is bringing out left-handed underwear so we no longer have to strain ourselves when trying to have a pee. finally!

    I'm left handed, something simple like using a scissors is a right pain.

    The Irish for a left-handed person is ciotóg, which is also the word for an awkward person.

    Must have been invented by a right handed person watching a left handed person working with right handed tools.

    Another lefty here.

    The only awkward thing was my handwriting. It's terrible. Found everything else ok..........OH GAWD I'M A MONSTER!

    Who cares?

    We're all just trying to crawl to the top of the human sh1t pile, how much does it matter which hand we use to get there?
