My little brother is ambidextrous. The reason why is because he broke his
right hand when he was a couple of months old. It is freaky to watch him
change hands while wrighting and not a change in his quilitty. But if he
throws some thing at you in anger(baseball, brick, knife) stay still and we
can't hit you as long as you are father than ten feet away. Move though and
it is a 80% cance of getting hit. I have never met any one that is born
ambidextrous. Is ambidexty a fluke only thing or can you be born with it? ____________________ i am a misunderstood genius... Nobody understands that i am a genius! |

Ambidextarity is great, especially for masturbation.

Not necessarily. Have a little trouble using the left hand here. ____________________ "People always say what we are looking for is a meaning for life…I don't

My right hand takes a bit more effort when it comes to writing. Besides
that, I would like to think I use it okay in other stuff. |

As a "southpaw" myself,I would like to point out that us "lefties" are more
likely to be genius level IQ than "righties" - Albert Einstein,Sir Isaac
Newton were both left handed.I think most of the prejudice against us comes
from the "Christians",having been "educated" in their schools and
indoctrinated in their ways since I was a baby (despite my mother never
going to church when I was a child-classic "do as I say,not as I do!!) I
was always being told to use my right hand instead of my left.I even had
one nun in infant school who used to strap up my left hand to stop me using
it!!I was actually ambidextrous then,bur started to favour my left hand
because even then I had an aversion to being told what I could and could
not do,especially if they couldn't give me a good reason to do as they
wanted! I could also write with the pen held in my toes,either foot
-haven't done it for a while,but I can still just about manage it. ____________________ Between the intent and the act falls the shadow. |

This may be the wrong forum for a rant,but it's about being left handed in
a world full of right handed people,so here goes! WHY IS IT SO HARD TO FIND
LEFT HANDED THINGS? ANY SORT OF THINGS,FROM SCISSORS TO CHEQUE BOOKS TO
EXERCISE BOOKS,EVEN HANDBAGS ARE THE WRONG WAY ROUND!!AND IF,BY SOME
MIRACLE YOU DO MANAGE TO FIND ANYTHING LEFT HANDED,WHY DOES IT ALWAYS COST
DOUBLE THE PRICE - AT LEAST? As an example,I needed a pair of dressmaking
shears,plenty of choice if you are right handed,try even FINDING a left
handed pair!I managed to track a single,solitary pair down,they cost me
£30!!And this was around 10 years ago,I dread to think how much they would
cost me now!!(Just as a comparison,right handed pairs were only about £10
at the time)
I think we should rebel and force "righties" to use their left hands,see
how they like being forced to try and manage in a world not designed for
them! ____________________ Between the intent and the act falls the shadow. |

I'm somewhat ambidexterious from all of my years of guitar playing. That's
one thing i know that lefties have the advantage over, the dexterity in the
left hand. I know that they sell "left-handed" instruments, but my old
guitar teacher is left handed and said that it was actually very easy for
her, and her one left handed student, to learn on a normal guitar because
she already had the strength in her left hand. That's something that is
very difficult when you're first learning the guitar if you're right
handed. It's only after you get enough strength in your left hand that you
can work on better speed/bends/hammer ons, ect. Left handed guitars and
basses are a rip off because they always cost a shitload more when a
southpaw beginner can do better than a rightie at the same level. ____________________ Fuck the Rest of You.

I am ambidextris.....i cant be bothered correcting the spelling....I write
left handed...play most sports right handed...kick footballs with both
feet.....i dont have a preference with sword work. Apparent a left handed
person is more likely to be a geniues or insane....that makes me feel
better. ____________________ "It is said that we loose ourselves in rage, I think I find what is

I'm sure there is a reason left handed supplies cost more than right
handed. If you can find a ratio of the number of left handed people to the
number of right handed people you will see why your supplies cost more. If
there are more right handed people then there are more people manufacturing
right handed objects. If there are less left handed people then there are
less people manufacturing left handed objects, therefore driving up the
price because there are less available and they know you need them and that
you will buy them at whatever cost. The same thing goes for those who
cannot have dairy products. Non-dairy products cost extra and there are
not that many available while there are plenty of dairy products on the
market and they cost less. Lucky dairy drinking bastards have store brand
while non-dairy drinking and eating people do not. ____________________ "People always say what we are looking for is a meaning for life…I don't

and on that day the ambidextrous shall rule all. as those lefties who have
been forced to use their right hands struggle with confusion upon finding
the world an easier place to live. without the tyrannical opression of the
righties they will run amok, using their left hands for everything and
getting thoroughly carried away. the right handed ones will be rendered
helpless as they find themselves unable to use doors, and incapable of
removing the corks from bottles. only the the ambidextrous, with a muttered
'huh' at the commotion caused by the change will carry on as normal, get
promoted and take over.
yay for ambidextrousnessnessness. ____________________ Eritis sicut Deus scientes bonum et malum.

Abbadon - you chastise us for being harsh on new people? Clearly this is a
case of the pot calling the kettle black. So pale-face spelt easier wrong.
Well, they got ambidextrous right, so maybe they aren't completely
illiterate. We all make spelling mistakes at times. I'm sure even you
do.
You know, it's one thing to be harsh on newbies, and maybe some of us go a
little far at times, but it's an entirely different thing to slam others
for being harsh, and then turn around and do it yourself. It's just a tad
hypocritical.
And this is all said on the assumption that you were actually sincere in
your chastisement of the newbie-disciplining ranks. If your intention has
always been merely to stir up trouble, then I apologize for the rebuke, and
will continue to ignore you like any other mischief-loving troll. ____________________ "You can tell by the scars on my arms and the cracks in my hips and the

anyone considered a chastisement thread into which people can put their
boring comebacks to other's mundane put downs?
then we could see some fun arguments, and some rubbish ones, without the
annoyance of having a well thought-out and interesting thread ruined by
petty bickering over old issues. ____________________ Eritis sicut Deus scientes bonum et malum.
