The "Lefty" thread (not political)
 
It seems to me that even in today's politically-correct environment, where everyone gets consideration, legislation, and even compensation for being in any way different from the majority, an important group that is a critical part of our culture, even our humanity, is being ignored.

Worse, they are often derided with belittling slang terms like "southpaw" or "wrong-handers". Is our society above the ignorance of discrimination or is it not? The world doesn't think in terms of black and white, so why is it still acceptable to think in terms of right and left?:nope:

Yes, the right-handed majority claims to acknowledge us; they even "graciously" allowed us a day to celebrate left-handedness, not that they even know what day that is! But what have they really done for us!? Virtually everything is made for right-handers. Sure, you can buy left-handed equipment, but it costs more!:down:

I, for one, am tired of being in the silent, shunned minority. I am tired of having a hard time with scissors! I am tired of being the goddamn pitcher in every baseball game! I am tired of people giving me that quizzical look and saying "You're left-handed?" and saying left in the same way one might say "ewwww..". More than anything, I am tired of being hit in the face with my own spent shell casings!

This thread is a place for we, the left-handed, to stand up and proudly say that we are indeed in our right minds. It is a place for us to remind the right-handed world that though we favor the left, we still have our rights!

I, gentlemen, am a left-hander, and I am proud to be called one.

Say it loud, say it proud. Down with right hander oppression!

I'll join the ranks of the Lefty Liberation Front. Stand together my brothers. That is, unless the mouse is on the right-handed side of the keyboard. Then it's too hard.

Left handed, and proud to be:salute:

I got round that, by getting a ergonomic mouse that can be used left/right handed.

"There is something I must tell you... I am not left-handed."

My God, they're everywhere.

I'm watching my damn canopener!

Lefty Liberation Front. I like it. Makes me wish I could go back and put it in the thread title.:up: However, I have concerns about the acronymn "LLF"; maybe we could come up with something that forms the acronymn L.E.F.T.:hmmm:

Let's wait for some more left-handers and get some ideas and then we can decide whether to refer to ourselves as such.

I use my left hand to talk on the phone, on account I'm about 85% deaf in my right ear. (I can hear certain inaudible frequencies, like silent dog whistles)

but hey, I have left handed friends, and I even dated a left handed girl.
more rights to the lefts!

:up:
(left handed thumbs up!)

MaddogK 03-09-11 04:36 PM

Yes, we should form a reactionary righty movement to counter the coming uprising of militant leftyism.
