Wow. So I was on this blog reading a post about left handed people, and I was appalled. The link is this <http://iandenny.blogspot.com/2008/02/best-bloggers-are-left-handed.html>
This guy talks about how left handed people are better bloggers. Well, it has been researched that the minority of lefties are generallt more creative, but this guy takes it a little too far. Instead of just relating facts, he goes on to say that lefties are SUPERIOR. I’m a righty, and I’d like to think that I’m pretty darn creative. I appreciate the effort, Ian Denny, but you’re starting to sound a little prejudiced. Just read a reply from him to a commenter that was angry about the post:
I really do feel sorry for right handed people. My left-handed ancestors were ridiculed and social outcasts.
I was hoping for more tolerance of our superior creativity. How can we still be hounded so in this day and age just because we’re paid 15% more and have to bear this cross of superiority?
Sound pompous and prejudiced yet? He also tells us that right-handers are “afflicted” and lefties are “gifted”. But of course, he’s not biased at all. He also says, quote, “And if you are left-handed, I look forward to the intelligence, wit and creativity that will flow through your prosaic words!” when referring to commenters and their blogs.
I left an angry comment. Hee.
