Snowboarder Rescued, this guy is very lucky
ExiledInIllinois replied to Greybeard's topic in Off the Wall
Getting too close to a tree well. Big snow will form a tree well... Like literally falling into a well. Snowboarders can't release from their bindings as easy as skiers... Even worse if inverted I suppose. -
Yeah... But how many of you wipe your ass left?

I have my take on why lefties were forced to write righty. Think about it... The ball point pen wasn't invented to about the 1930s... Even then and after, fountain pens were still common. Writing lefty with a fountain pen OR at least teaching a child to write with a fountain pen left handed would have created a terrible mess, smear... Watch a left write and they kinda hook their hand over as they move left to right. Is penmanship really a thing anymore? Same with drafting... Line quality and inking a print. It's all done on computer/CAD now... FWIW. I don't think the old days were as nefarious as they are made out to be. More just economical and practical concerns. In the days when penmanship counted, probably easier just to teach the other hand. Today... We have everything for both hands. My older sister is a lefty... We ate as a big family at a large table. We parked her on so she would bang elbows with others. Same with her softball mitt... She just learned to play putting the mitt on backwards. https://potus.com/presidential-facts/left-handed/ "Eight presidents have been left-handed. James A. Garfield was the first left-handed president. He could write in two languages at the same time - Greek with the left hand and Latin with the right. #President 20James A. Garfield 31Herbert Hoover 33Harry S. Truman 38Gerald R. Ford 40Ronald Reagan 41George H. W. Bush 42Bill Clinton 44Barack Obama" Interesting it took all the way up to Garfield (1880s), then Hoover @ the advent of the ballpoint pen...

Name a Right Wing Position

Stupidity. /EndThread [I'll be here all week, chef says try the borscht!] -
Yup! That about sums it up! Society is a pecking order with conservatives. Pack animals need an alpha dog. Like the time my conservative sister inlaw came into my work... First thing out of her mouth: "Now who's above who here?" I pointed 👉 to the chain of command photos on the wall in the lunchroom. /smdh...

Are they harming you any different than others? Don't worry, you're not going to hell. Why not steer the world to accepting everyone, equality. Why not embrace differences with people. Unless, you like division among people. I simply don't understand why differences and accepting those differences bothers people. Is it order? Control? Creating underclasses of undesirables? Or just wanting to view life and society in an orderly manner. It certainly can't be about money and economics, because why would anyone alienate a paying customer? "You get more flies with honey then you do vinegar" if you really simply just oppose the agenda.
