Actually, I really can’t help myself. I was born left-handed. And my parents accepted this as a natural fact of life. I’m one of ten children born to Catholic parents. Six of us are left-handed.
It did help out a lot by the time I got to high school because I was a star pitcher on our baseball team. When I was eighteen I could throw a baseball 90 miles an hour. And had a natural curveball like most lefties do. I even got drafted twice in the same year. Once by the Cubs and once by the Army.
Still, can you ever forgive me for being a leftie?
I hate stereotyping titles. Only dishonest people use them. Why do so many people in Yahoo use them?
Politically, I pretty much moderate. Conservative on some issues, more progressive on others.

Even in a silly question like this the stereotypers won't let up. Dishonesty has no barriers, I suppose.

My Dear Dr. Watson~You know that stereotyping has virtually nothing to do with dishonesty, only mean, poor spirited creatures, &/or ignorance. Either side of the aisle.
Liberal, outside the political arena, favours tolerance, constructive change, freedom & you know the rest. In this context, do you think anyone would DARE to say they oppose it? Nope.
Ah, but politically! Here we have the pejorative "leftist" (the antithesis of right-wing; do republicans have "wings"?) who (primarily) favour deep pockets of corporations who thus dictate (obligatory) laws that deprive the majority of the US of essentials to life itself. Not all republicans mind you, but it's difficult to sort those who have sincere, humane interests, from those who have jumped ship for fear of political association with the burning bush.
I have leanings, but I have no label.
Silly question? No. Humourous? Yes. Remember that silliness (such as stereotypying) is the last refuge of the doomed.

Hell no! he's apologized for Anerica's so noted as imperialist behaviour. that is disgusting. he's acquaintances with Putin, Chavez and had suggested no longer something about North Korea's missile attempt. he's even speaking about taking away our nukes. the guy is a clueless fool.

I'm a righty (although I can hit a baseball harder left-handed). Politically, I'm free. I choose my own dimension; there's no good selection with left, right, and moderate (I'm not saying they're wrong). Three choices? Come on. There are more brands of paper towels in a grocery store. What ever happened to transcendentalism? And I don't mean drugs.

I've actually always wanted to be left-handed so of course i can't hold anything against you b/c then I'd be a hypocrite. I'm ambidextrous now b/c I've myself to use my left just like my right with the strong determination to be left-handed.

I was born Left-handed and switched over to my Right-hand and I've been Right-handed ever since.
Another freaky fact is that I break my natural nails more on my Right-hand than my Left.
I hate stereotyping as well, you should accept people by their personality only.

I like this. Very smart, very funny...
I hate stereotyping titles too and I TRY my hardest to not use them. Though occasionally when I read enough of the stereotyping I do lash out at whichever side looks to be doing the most of it... to even the score, I suppose. (Hopefully you can forgive me of this...)
I'm about with you on the political standing too. Though I call myself "independent and middle-of-the-road".

I can and will ALWAYS tolerate the truth. I don't care where the truth is coming from, as long as it is just that.

You were born left handed and that's not a big deal. The people I really feel sorry for are the ones born with a brain disorder that leads them to the socialist party.
