My dad wanted me to be left handed since he thought it would be funny since MIng is right handed.
(actually because he said if you want to play first base, you have to be left handed despite my not wanting to play first base)It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

The Universe is right handed. I still laugh when I remember kids holding up their left hands during physics tests.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

I'm kind of bihanded - writes with the right, eat with the fork in the right hand, shoot hand weapons with right hand but rifles on the left.With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things.

I'm generally a lefty, but I was taught to golf, play guitar, and swing a baseball bat right-handed. And still do. With golf and guitar, it was about the available hardware. For baseball, it was just how my Dad taught me. I throw left-handed.
In Catholic school, the nuns did try to force me to write right-handed, especially when we learned cursive. I found it was easier to learn learn an overhand grip so my letters would "lean forward" the way they wanted.
This is a classic example of how left-handers tend to be more adaptable.Last edited by -Jrabbit; August 13, 2018, 18:54.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

At the Catholic school I attended the nuns would rap your hands with a ruler if you didn't hold the pen EXACTLY like they wanted.
So I took piano lessons from one of them so the rest weren't allowed to touch my hands again. I still hold the pen wrongIt's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

Fun facts: Roughly 10-11% of the population is left-handed. Yet since 1968, the majority of US presidents -- all but Carter, W, and Trump -- have been left-handed.
In the past hundred years, the U.S. presidency has veered more and more to the left — not in policy, but in handedness. Barack Obama is the latest to join a long list of left-handed presidents from the 20th century: James Garfield, Herbert Hoover, Harry Truman, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton were all southpaws.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011
