“In ancient China, the left has been the “bad” side. The adjective “left” (Chinese character: 左, Mandarin: zuǒ) means “improper” or “out of accord”. For instance, the phrase “left path” (左道, Mandarin: zuǒdao) stands for illegal or immoral means.”
Wow the ancient Chinese had the bible. (rolls eyes) The saddest thing in the world is a dogmatic atheist.
Damn, Bits and Pieces is the only site on earth to link ignorance in South Georgia to ignorance in China via prejudices against left handed people through a comment.
I love this place!
The word “sinister” originally meant “left-handed”.
MC!
I knew that one.
I was whacked with a ruler for using my left hand in school but they just couldn’t cause me enough pain to go right.
heh heh heh
I know someone who’s daughter was in a lesbian relationship. In her atempt to accept this fact she used to say “I mean there is nothing wrong with ‘it’. ‘It’ is just like being left handed!” No it isn’t. ‘It’ is just like being gay. My husband and I now refer to gay people as being left handed. It saves a lot of questions from the kids!
p.s. The daughter ended up finding a nice boy and is now married. Much to her mother’s relief. Not that there is anything wrong with being left handed! LOL!
Bitsy….you mean I’ve been a Lesbian all my life???….Wait til I tell my wife!…Maybe that’s why I’ve never been attracted to a man! (On a more serious note(?), many years ago, my mother heard someone was Lesbian and asked me where Lesbia was…)
I grew up there.
That’s South Georgia.
North Georgia too Mike.
hmmm from wikipedi
