    Left Handed Presidents
    Ronald Reagan (1911 - ) 40th
    George H.W. Bush (1924- ) 41st
    Bill Clinton (1946- ) 42nd
    Barack Obama (1961- ) 44th

    There's one president missing from this sequence .... :confused: .... oh yes, that's right. :)

    My father was left handed when younger but they beat it out of him in school and made him write with his right hand. Common enough occurance apparently.

    I noticed in work the other day that about 75% of the senior managers are left handed.

    Is this just a strange coincidence or is this a common thing. Are left handed people more driven towards success?


    There all called ******s

    Possibly ... I trained in drama and there were shedloads of them! Got a bit freaky actually! :pac:

    It's kind of a cool quirky thing though.

    Ok I have to stop reading the Lost threads, coz I read that as "I trained in dharma"

    I, for one, welcome our Leftie Overlords....

    I'm a leftie and damn proud to be one too!

    When I was younger, my school mates use'd to say to me "How can you write like that?" and I would say "Well, how can you write with your right hand?" (Damn righties wouldn't be able to answer) 1-0 ME :)


    On my mothers side of the family all her brothers (5) have a child who is a leftie and now my 3 brothers all have kids and two of them have a child that is a leftie!!
    My Father and Brother in law are also lefties!!

    "BECOME A LEFTIE.....ITS A NEW WAY OF THINKING!!"

    I'm a rightie with a leftie kiddo.

    She's a total clutz, you've only to look at her and she falls over and she has zero co-ordination, can't kick a football to save her life and has serious problems multi tasking. She's a messy eater and seems to always have food on her clothes and in her wild curly crazy hair.

    She is however, a genius. She reads at an 11 year old level (she's 7) and she's in the top 98 percentile for maths and english.
    She asks the most scarily profound questions and quite frankly, she scares me :eek:

    I think she'll become a mad scientist. She has the looks for it anyway. Think a younger female Dr. Emmett Brown from back to the future.

    :D

    pff I can use either hand for most things.

    Anyone who can't is defective in my unhumble opinion


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,630 ✭✭✭Oracle


    I think many left-handed people seem to have a prodigious talent in one particular area, so it maybe art, music etc... but could also be business, social work, nursing etc... I can't claim to be left-handed, although I do use cutlery with the opposite hands to most. The fork in the right hand, knife in the left. It's more comfortable for me that way, fork in the left hand is crazy.

    I know a fair few gay guys and they are all bar one left handed. My mother is left handed and used to be beaten by the nuns in school because of it.

    I am right handed but when eating dinner I put my fork in my right hand and knife in my left.

    Are you saying your mother was a gay man until the nuns beat it out of her ?

    Left handers are almost as bad as gingers. Fairly sure they only have half a soul. Perhaps the sold the other half to Satan in exchange for success.

    My daughter is a ginger leftie >.<

    I never got left handed people.

    Why don't they just cop on and use their right hand?
    I do. ****, bat, play instruments etc. right-handed.

    Can cut with left or right, but can only write well with my left hand

    Ha ha. Well I am gay myself but right handed so who knows. There is a high proportion of left handed gay people though. I remember reading about it just after I came out and one night I was in a gay bar and I decided to put this theory to the test the amount of left handed people was unreal.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,132 ✭✭✭novarock


    it just angers me when it comes to buying guitars.. Zero selection in any civilised country.... the worst thing is all I do with my left is write and play guitar. Everything else is righty.

    That's because we are superior.

    Us leftie's are nothing but a bunch of sinistra cnuts to you wrighties... :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 977 ✭✭✭Abrasax


    Lefties use the right-hemisphere of the brain more, which controls the left side of the body, using both hemisphers to process data, whilst righties generally only use the left-hemisphere, which is why lefties are a little more special.
    The right hemisphere tends to specialise in the more creative side of life; music, expressing or reading of emotions (which may help those businessmen and politicians get ahead) and artistic ability, while the left side (right handers) of the brain is more given to logic and mathematics .
    Given their ability to use both hemispheres would tend to suggest that lefties are a more evolutionarily evolved section of society and despite the best efforts of right-handers to villify and stifle their abilities, lefties, as suggested by their prominence in business, politics and the creative side of life, are coming to the forefront of mankind.

    The best description of us lefties I have come across is to imagine a regiment of soldiers marching through fresh snow, they all walk in the same footprints (that's you rightys). Us left handed folk hit the bits you miss.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,836 ✭✭✭TanG411


    I'm a lefty for everything, including my legs, but I don't think I'm creative.

    I cannot play an instrument, I cannot draw or paint. I'm okay at sports like football or darts but nothing major. I'm useless at imagining stories, but I am good at planning. That's it really.

    Gonna work at McDonalds for the rest of my life now. Probably flip the burgers wrong or something.

    In fairness. They really believed any old ****e back then didn't they ? Left handed. Witch!!!!!!!! Burn him!!!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 850 ✭✭✭SoulTrader


    Should leftie couples be allowed to adopt children? I don't think it's fair for a child to grow up without any righty influence.
