Since there were so many complaints about the "leftie" thread not being about left-handedness, and since I happen to be left-handed myself, I now want to know who else here is left-handed?

So, hands up, lefties!

Yup.

Handedness-wise and political-wise LEFT!

Me! ^^

Another reason why I love the character in my avatar.

Lefty and proud!

left in writing ,shooting and guitar

What if your right-handed?

*raises hand*

My right-handed what?

Sinister

Left-handed for most things - though I play guitar, mandolin etc. right handed.

I find that we left-handers tend to be more competent at using something like a drill or a screwdriver with our right hands than right-handers are with their left hand. I suppose we get more practice because we are forced to more often.

*makes wanking gesture with right hand at lefties*

Left handed, althought I can spin my pen with my right hand and not with my left.

I suspect I've had more practice. I did come with all the necessary equipment from the start.

Hands, check
Penis, check

PROFIT!!!!

Well, I've got the stamp and signature :p
And I practice whenever I can...

I wonder if I could get a cert, extra qualifications never hurt anyone.

Seeing as I got it from my BF, and it involved a practical exam... I'm not too sure he'd be willing to issue one for you, sorry.

Left handed

I would have to agree with this. I swing a tennis racket, a golf club, throw a ball and even use a tool with my right over my left. Mainly because that is the way I was taught.

I eat left handed!? But that's about all. Everything else I'm right handed.

Bolded for emphasis on being correct.

I write left-handed. I can operate tools like screwdrivers and soldering irons with both hands, actually, which can be convenient. I'm quite unable to cope with scissors, though.

So, hands up, lefties!

Yo.

I am right handed, but my father is left handed. He was forced to learn how to work with his right hand though, since using the 'sinister' hand was actively discouraged in his schooling. He can use both hands well enough, but he uses his left hand more.

Right handed, but I can use my left hand with some amount of skill.

*Notes down names, writing with the RIGHT hand*

Left-handedness is deviant and wrong, and can only be evidence of demonic possession. Go to your local church and ask for the exorcism. They might choose to burn you as a witch instead, but to be quite honest, its what people like you deserve :p

Being possessed is not so bad...you should try it. I'll ask my demon if he has some buddies looking for a job :p

Be gone, Satan! Also, I feel I must warn the god-fearing right-handed majority of the danger posed by the ambidextrous. These crypto-lefties often seek to blend in to ordinary society and bring it down from within by working with pure left-handers and other deviants. In truth, the best response would be to set up an Inquisitorial system, but apparently the Inquisition has been given too bad a press of late for this to be a feasible option. So stay on your guard, and if necessary form lynch mobs. They can be fun.

I hope you drive on the left hand side of the road? :p

It's the same reason why we shouldn't let left handed people marry each other. It only makes more left handed people.

No comment, heh. :tongue:

I'm right handed. And uhm.. don't have anything else to add.

A lot of people falsely assume I'm left-handed because I do a lot of drawing, and are quite surprized when I point out that I'm not.

What?

What?

There is a stereotype that left handed people are more creative and have a bigger drive to achieve because the right side of the brain is dominant.

Yes. BECAUSE THEY ARE INSPIRED BY SATAN AND HIS DEMONIC MINIONS! :p

Oh I tend to forget about that.

All lefties should die of leprosy! Or some similar horrid disease that rots your flesh.. arg.

Oh ok I thought it was only the left side of the brain being the dominant side that led to more creativity.

Unlikely. Its the left-handers, along with the Jews and Muslims, who over the years have introduced all diseases to society through well-poisoning. They themelves don't get ill, having created a cure for all ills from the blood and bones of the Christian babies they jointly kidnap and murder.

The left side is the reasoning portion, and the right side is the abstract portion. Logic and such are controlled on the left, and music and such are on the right.

Whatever shall we do?

Mass murder of course.

Sorry that's what I meant to type, I was confusing myself.

I'll bring the matches and the firewood, you bring the stake. Not the steak, there was a rather embarrassing incident a few months back when an intended cleansing of society ended up turning into a friendly communal barbeque and the peasants being overfed, raising their expectations and provoking food riots. Then of course, everyone in the entire village died from the plague, as the deviants in question had rather inevitably managed to poison the food before making their escape back to the East, from where all deviants originate.

You managed to confuse me too :p.

Right, stake.. not steak. But why not both? We can kill two birds (one being lefties and the other being hunger) with one stone.

No, you got it all wrong. We don't just go around murdering babies, we pick the best and eat them. In addition to preventing us from diseases, they taste great too, especially grilled with garlic! You should try it!

Now that I think about it, I'm not ill too often, really. And yeah, I'm left both handly and politically. But all this talk about babies is making me a bit hungry.

What if your right-handed?

That means you are more physically able/dominant doing menial tasks with your right hand, as opposed to your left.

Because they'll poison the food, silly! No, the more I think of it, the more I realise that even touching them risks contamination and becoming unclean. We must take a more modern approach or health and safety will be on to us in a flash. Send in men in anti-contamination suits to beat them to death with sticks.

Dumb Ideologies?

When the operation is done can I get your phone number? :p

I'm right-handed when I write, but my left hand has some skill. Both my parents are left-handed.

Now isn't that a peculiar result...

It sure is... I would have expected more foot-typists.

Exactly! But you can never know...I've been typing with my feet for years, and I thought it would have caught on by now!

Another leftie here, in both meanings of the word.

I write with my left hand,
but can do pretty much everything else with both hands to a more or less successful degree.

What is this phone you talk of? I'll have you know, I communicate with the outside world solely by carrier pigeon, or in emergencies through a dwarf who I fire in the general direction the message needs to go using a giant catapult.

Raises left hand

We have another Southpaw here.
