Well... why not? I figured since everyone else was hitching up a discrimination thread, I thought it might make sense to discuss a bit of 'leftism' while it's fashionable. Are you a lefty? Hate having to use that godawful 'right-handed' alphabet? Disgusted that left-handed peopoe were discouraged from their ways by the whole sinister thing? Down with the right handed oppressors! New World Alphabet!

Sorry, I switched off for a second. Seriously. Are lefties 'discriminated' against? Are their '
needs' met in the same way as others?

P.S. For the love of God, don't take this too seriously. I may be a disgruntled lefty at times, but just have some fun. Please.

I've heard that lefties supposedly don't live as long but I don't see why that would make any sense at all.

It could just be that left-handedness correlates with another variable that causes a reduced life-expectancy. The issue is that this other variable seems to be unknown in this common knowledge.

This is correct, lefties do empirically have a lower life expectancy. The exact reasons why are still not really known.

Nah, several independent studies in various universities around the world confirm that it's not true. No, I don't have a source, but I don't need one, I'm left-handed!

But supposedly a left-handed clumsy Aspie has a higher change of killing himself by accident with a scissors made for right-handed people ... :wink:

It's discrimination, I tells ya! It's a secret plot by the lizard people to bring us down and secretly exterminate us all with rheumatism and silly accidents.

Hmmm... I'm left-handed, clumsy, aspergers, insulin-dependent and old. Guess I shouldn't be applying for life insurance.
