I don't get it... Is it supposed to be a farce or something of the like?

One of my friend's mother's has scars across her left hand from where she was beaten with a ruler for being left handed at school.

Ahh, human beings. What do we hate? DIFFERING FROM THE NORM.

I'm so very, VERY glad I didn't live in a time period like that. If you add being left-handed to the list, I'dve probably been beaten to death for at least three different things.

Nope. It's an article from a children's magazine from a time when being left-handed was frowned on.

Ahh, ok thank you. I thought it was something like that.

I'm left handed. Like me, Bill is probably just biding his time.

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, didn't read any of it, make your messages shorter

The word "sinister" is Latin for "left hand", and by extention "left-handedness".

I'm left handed at writing but right handed in sports.

 

[SenseOfTumour]

Heh, sounds like it'd fit in well with the tales of the black slaves and the wives cooking and cleaning for the man of the house.Damn, we might screw up sometimes, but I'm pleased we've moved on a lot!

Yes, I'm a leftie too.

I'm left-handed. My dad was supposed to be left-handed too but they made him switch to being right-handed.

What a weird story- ok so they're trying to say that left-handedness is wrong, but the story doesn't go anywhere- him being left-handed is never related back to the whole garden story...

I personally believe that left handed "children" are in fact demon spawns sent by the Satan himself to torture their parents and people around them. There is no redemptiom for this abominations, only fire can cleanse the earth from their unholy presence.

I've always thought they were special but not for the "reason" (if you could call it that)
that you've outlined...what a load of shit..."Demon spawn"!..and my Mom is a lefty..so HA!

Its obvious that Left handed people must be hunted down and killed, why? Because their different.

 

[InProgress]

Woot! I'm a demon spawn by Satan himself. Why are you people coming towards me with torches and pitchforks?

I understand the fact that the writer hates lefties, but seriously now, how can you be offended by that? As a lefty, I really didn't care what that story said about being careless and left handed. Carelessness is a trait common to people, left handed or not.

I'm going to assume you're right handed?

Congratulations, you just scored postitive on the moron test (that means you failed).

[Straitjacketeering]

Yeah i'm left handed also, i'm just too cool.

How do you manage to live with absolutely no sense of sarcasm?

Well...seeing as it is the LOWEST form of wit....quite happily! I could ask you how you manage to live being a sarcastic little twat....I mean, you must exist as a punchbag for somebody??? Right...thought so ;P

Kukul, apparently they are rather cranky I'd say.

Anyways, that article was ridiculously simple and quite patronizing...even for children.

Left-handed people, a tiny difference from the norm not being tolerated back then.
It's rather sad.
