I tried out various things such as scissors, can openers, etc. I can see why they would want such things. For me, they were extremely awkward, and some were downright painful to try to use.

Yes! Down with the Right Handed oppresion!

On a similar note: For that we lefties are supposed to be 'rare', there sure are a lot of us. Most of the people I personaly know here in the US are lefties too. Very odd..

I've heard that leftists tend to gather into groups or cells.

I'm left handed and have been since birth, but do many things right handed.

Through school I alway wrote with my hand curved over the paper, took me forever to break that habit. When I went to school, they never really taught us left handies how to correctly hold our hand.

Of course. This rightist world forces you to adapt! It forces you to be someone other than who you are!

Same here. My handwriting is still terrible and I often smudge what I have written with my wrist. Thank heavens for keyboards.

What else do you want? You have your little special shops to satisfy your perverted demands! Where does this end?
Next those sick lefties want to ride in the same busses like normal people.

Right is alright and brightens the day!

Just take a look how elegant, sappy and powerful he swings his right leg and arm and how wimpy his left arm moves and how he hobbles on his wrong leg!

Your attempts to demean us will not destroy our resolve. Besides, conflict does not determine who is right, only who is left.

edit- I have a homework assignment that needs working on but I'll be back to join the revolution later.
