lefties bragging? - By rosetree
8th March 2008 - 5:47am

well,i'm a lefty too but i don't think this club is to brag about how superior lefties are compared to righties...it's more about acknowledging certain characterstics that lefties have and heightening the awareness of it amonst one another because the truth is, being a lefty actually does make you feel like an outsider every now and then...left-handed ppl's minds have a particular bend that can be really great if it's fully utilized but if not, it can be like a weird jinx and make you go backwards at everything. i myself have gone through a lot for a long time thinking that i was not quite like others-if i'd been more aware of the particular traits of my left-handed mind, i think i would've gone through a lot less pain~ so this sort of society has its purpose that's a lot more than just bragging ~~

I dunno sometimes its fun to boast, but i agree with ya, I mean I'm quite artistic, but I suck at math, its just the fact that its more unique then being a righty is something fun to express

what's the big deal? - By snoopy

im a lefty but i think its stupid to have this sort of "club". i mean it's as if you're you just rubbing it in right handed people's faces by bragging about how lefties are smarter and more creative blah blah. some of this stuff hasn't been even proved true. my brother is also a lefty. he's good at sports but got a D in maths in exams. what is the point in this site and showing lists of famous left handers? what's the big deal with which hand is your dominant hand?

marilyn monroe wasn't left handed! - By dan

marilyn monroe was right handed.i'm a lefty but everyone stop taking the piss out of right handed people. saying stuff like right handed people drink their own scrotal fluids is just un-called for

Where Is Judith Fitzgerald? - By JoJo

What a grand website you have created here. (the sound of left-hand clappings)

Both my brother and myself are southpaws. We are wondering why you have not included Canadian poetess Judith Fitzgerald (born Nov. 11, 1952) in your lists. She's a leftie!

Write on! (groan)

Bill the lefty spaceman Lee thinks lefthanders are the only people in their right minds.

We agree! We are proud to see Marshall McLuhan here also, though.

Cheerio, JoJo

Obviously left handed people should be assigned to be millitary leaders.
they have better creative abilities, so they can create pretty pictures.

also right handed people drink their own scrotal fluids. haha

This is for SunSetAngel and Lissie: There has been alot of left and right handed people who have suceeded in the same profession. However the fact that most geniuses were lefthanded is not only a mere coincidence but the fact that if you were to read into it more you would find that lefthanders use their right side mind which is consisted of creativity, music, artistic, genius, etc... I'm new to this website and even I know that there's something more than to just be lefthanded. All I'm saying is look into it more that's all. Look into how many famous people are lefthanded and tell me it's just a coincidence.
