Ignorance

[BorgQueen]

An friend on Facebook's post today:

"I just noticed Obama is left handed. This explains a lot."

Seriously such an ignorant thing to say. People are dumb. I'm sure lots of right/left/ambidextrous handed people voted for Obama.


Do you have any tales of stupidity we can laugh at?

Were they really serious? My Dh is left handed
I don't have any funny stupidity ATM

[BorgQueen]

Yeah I've been arguing with her but she's totally serious. She says he likes basketball and the spotlight. What? I'm a lefty and I don't like either of those things lol.

Um OK then...this is a great example of correlation does not equal causation

Well I've had my dumb moment. DH realized last night my registration expired in November. Seriously! They never sent me the form so I spaced it. Of course I can't pay it online because I need the code that was on the form that never came. They said the mail was returned to them twice. Two years in a row?
Grrr. I guess I need to set a yearly reminder since I never get any mail from them.

 Look at the stereotypes people put on truck drivers. Think its the same thing. I have heard that before, that lefties don't think like "the rest of the world".

I read somewhere that is at least partly true. Lefties tend to be right brained and righties are mostly left briained people.
But
I don't believe in the who "wrong handed" belief. My mom is a leftie and my brother is ambidextrous.

There are many differences...like how artistic I am and how my husband is very good with math. It shouldn't have anything to do with a persons abilities. My sister writes with the opposite hand and is equally artistic. I'm sure any failure or success of the president has little to do with which hand he writes with.

Just saying.

Completely agree.

My MIL keeps making comments about my breastmilk not being good for the baby. Her arguments are completely factless and go anywhere from it's too thin and she gets hungry too often (2-3 hours is normal for a baby less than a month old) to it's too rich and causes diaper rashes (Dr said it's from pooping so much and just use cream to protect her skin). I finally told DH that if she calls him about it again to ask her who knows better, God or the formula companies? That should at least give him some peace.
