      It's a fact that Left handed people die first. True Story.

      Emily - they die first because lefties tend to be better/more creative thinkers, as well as risk takers (and risks are risky). Scientific fact.

      If I were left handed then I would have to use my right hand for a lot of things anyways considering the ratio of left to right handed people. I would become more ambidextrous because of this. I have some left handed friends that validate this.

      On average righties live 9 years longer than lefties.

      righties live longer because all tools (including, you know ALL CARS) are designed for right-handed people. because tools are not typically designed for lefties, they tend to have more accidents. Lefties tend to be more creative, so I'd rather lose the last 9 years of my live to be more interesting.

      Nikolai

      10 years ago

      Righties tend to live longer because things are made for them rather than us lefties because there are clearly a lot more people that are righties. So the really important things, like cars, aren't built for lefties, so more accidents occur on our part. And while lefties tend to be more creative, that's because the right part of the brain controls the left side and vice versa, and the right part of the brain is the creative side and the left is the logical side. However, I'm weird where I'm creative only with words and everything else is extremely logical with me. Also, I'd prefer to be a righty because while most things are more beneficial towards righties (hell, it's even easier to not smudge ink while writing if you're a righty), sports like fencing and boxing are tilted in our favour because righties in these sports don't usually come across them, whereas we usually come across righties, so we know what to do while they don't. Also, while most things come easy for righties, that gives us a bit of an edge in things as well, because we are more adaptable in that way. If all lefties couldn't drive like righties, the crash rate would be unbelievably higher than it is, where if righties were to try and drive lefty, their crash rate would be substantially higher because they rarely, if ever have to switch from their dominant side, like we do almost all the time.

      just cause lefties "tend" to be more creative dosent mean YOU are. and i read the stuff about lefties dieing early. its not an accident thing but a brain thing. you simply have lower life expextancies. and the lefties i know are all dumb as fuck. google it

      The way lefties and ambidextrous people think uses more of their brain, resulting in more creative people, however, with extra strain on both sides of the brain can lead to lower IQ levels or did lexis. CAN, not necessarily does.

      Sources? No? Well I have a source: marginalrevolution.com/ma...young.html Conducted in 1991 in England Halpern and Coren published a famous study in the New England Journal of Medicine.This said that right handed people were most likely to live longer than left handed people, this was probably due to the fact left handed people were discouraged from being left handed and were forced to be right handed, however some of these people didn't abide this, possibly the poor due to their lack of writing any ways. Also left handed people have the advantage in sports.

      lefties are not better than righties. They're not more skilled, they're not smarter, or faster, or more imaginative, they're just assuming that because they're a lot more uncommon. It's pretty stupid. I'm a righty, and I don't care whether you are a lefty or a righty but that doesn't change my skills. How do you think it would make you look if an ambidextrous called us all lame because we only have one dominent hand?? They'd look like an idiot.

      my left is stronger than my right.....yet I mostly write with my right hand. I use my left hand for a lot of stuff but I also use my right hand for a lot of stuff too. I might be ambidextrous since I use both but thats probably not for me to decide lmao

      We aren't better than righties but scientifically we are more creative and stuff and yes it is true that we were thought to be evil. People forced lefties to use their right hand because they thought that they were demons by being left handed

    I'm ambidextrous so I wouldn't really care. Picked righty because it's less of a hassle. (more right-handed stuff being made than left-handed stuff)

    I'm left handed, and many of my friends are as well, but the following are disadvantages of left-handedness.1)Though I've never had problems, it is harder for left handed people to draw or write (smudging/ often sloppier handwriting). 2) Left handed people statistically die quicker( 9 years sooner), for a multitude of reasons. Partly because of a change in blood flow (left hand in correlation to the heart, risks of strokes and what-not), and lefties are more likely to fall to death (at least in America because people use the right side of the staircase, and thus only use the right railing, which lefties are less inclined to use). 3)May schools still punish kids for using their left hands, or in many cultures the left hand is considered "unclean" (right for eating, left for toilet) However, most political leaders are left-handed (including presidents and candidates, and other political leaders in other nations). Left handed people are also better at dealing with stimuli as the connections between the left and right side of their brains. Other fun facts: 10-20% of people are left-handed, men are more often lefties. Aug. 13 is a holiday for lefties. Lefties are more likely to be alcoholics schizophrenic, or dyslexic. Left handed people tend to include the greatest and most hated people in history (Osama Bin Laden and Jack the Ripper vs Benjamin Franklin and Einstein). We also draw people facing the right more often, and lefties have higher odds of scholarships. Wedding rings are worn on the left hand so they are closer to the heart. I now regret my choice on the right side... I forgot some of this information and double checked it... lefties may die sooner and have more troubles, but they do experience things more fully due to mental activity.
