Showing solidarity when political allies make mistakes...

A political ally extremely poorly defends a policy you agree on. Do you:

1. Stay completely quiet out of political solidarity.

No votes
2. Correct or add to the political compatriot's posted argument in hopes it will strenghten it.

3. Stay quiet. Prepare for the other side's attack against the poorly reasoned argument by referencing poor arguments from the other side.

4. Nothing. I don't accept the premise that someone else's poor defense or advocacy of my own beliefs, amount to my beliefs being untruthful.

Umm but that's wrong though. Right eye to scope is right handed. How are you looking down a barrel on your left side through your right eye?

Wait no... maybe that's right. Damn it's been a minute since I've shot a gun.

Yeah that's right.

Also for whatever reason I squint my right eye slightly when I'm finding the sight picture on a handgun. Might be why I'm being retarded right now

The neural wiring isn't connected between them. The stuff that makes you a leftie is different than the stuff that makes you right eyed.

But why do I shoot pool like a lefty, but am right-handed? Why do I naturally box left-handed?
As far as naturally boxing, I don't know. I do know that a lot of tasks can be learned with the non-dominant hand. For instance, I use computer mouses with my right hand, among other things; maybe your pool-shooting is such a case. Did you learn to shoot in a certain way?

Just learning as a kid. I did what was natural. Fighting is the hardest part because correctly boxing is difficult for me. Although, I suppose it would be confusing as shit if I just stuck with it in my own way and got good at it. My footing and hands would be the opposite of what an opponent is likely used to.

But, fact is, I am still right arm dominant, and my punches with that arm are stronger, so using it to jab and block is a bad idea.

Dragging your left hand across the graphite leaves you with a marker for how much you've written on a given day.

I'm the opposite. Right side dominant in everything except writing and one other thing.

Having the right side of my skull caved in in the army really fucked things up.

My right arm was always stronger, but being left handed seemed to make it closer to the right arm than other people. Arm wrestling as a kid, I almost always won with my left.

I too am a southpaw. Have had hot brass burn my face in the Army. The A1 doesnt have a block on the back of the ejection port. But then again all that did was burn my arms and hand.

Right-handed, left-footed, like a normal human. The rest of you sad freaks will be eliminated from the gene pool.

Being a southpaw boxer is an advantage like being a lefty catcher

Hell, being a lefty pitcher is an advantage as well; if you can figure out junk balls you can have a long career as a middle relief specialist

Correct on the pitcher but a consistent low 90's fastball is the building block, absolutely wrong on the catcher.
