They say that lefties are original thinkers. I'd like to hold on to that nugget, and wouldn't go as far as saying superior...well, we are one of the most discriminated people. Especially in places where the right hand matters, like India. Slurs, such as "sh@t handed" arise among the schoolboys. The wiring is definitely different, especially if a lefty is forced to change to the right. How about the statistic that more lefties are more likely to cut themselves when they use serrated knives more frequently than right handed people?! I'm just glad to have hands. LOL

Well, no. Now, don't get me wrong, I wouldn't say that right-handed people are superior to left-handed people either, but think about this: there are more right-handed people, so if there was ever a giant war (right-handers vs. left-handers) the right-handers would totally win. Not only because there are more of us, but the scissors on on our side too.

I've read a lot of trivia regarding left-handedness, that most architects are lefties, and that we apparently live 5 years less than righties, etc, but I think the answer is no, we are the minority and therefore special. So equal-handed rights I say.

No, but most superior people through history were lefthanded...

Not true. Most equipment is designed for right handers, and for everday activities those who are dominant in their right seem to excel.
Although for athletes, as there are not as many left handers, it would be much easier to join up with a professional league, especially if your a left handed pitcher.

They are more talented and artistic. But, not superior.
I am left handed. I have had one top 10 record and paint in oils. My pictures are not worth millions. However, they are very good.

Hm, I believe if you are left handed, the right side of your brain is dominant. If you are right handed, the left side of your brain is dominant.
13-30% of the population is left handed, so they are not the majority.
Apparently left handed people have an advantage in bowling.
I'm rather ambidextrous.

I think the folks that are ambidextrous would have the advantage.
