Saw this on facebook the other day.

clockwise = right brained peeps.
 
More likely the case is that they live in a right-handed world.

This makes things like driving cars (where's the shift stick?) more difficult and they are less adept at responding.

Probably not; I'm left-handed, and the last really "difficult" thing I remember is using the kiddy scissors in kindergarten... until my teacher produced a pair of green-handled lefty scissors that worked just dandy.
I guess writing is a little more difficult; my hand tends to smear the ink/ pencil. It also gets cramped-up after awhile, because of what my husband calls the "tormented" position I hold it in to write.

Driving, I'll admit, was difficult for me, and I didn't learn to drive until almost age 30. And I still don't drive very well.
But I think that has less to do with being left-handed and more to do with some weird form of dyspraxia or other spatial disorder; I can't tell left from right instinctively. If you ask me out of the blue which way is left (or right), I have to sit there and ponder it for a good 10 or 15 seconds before I can tell you, and if I feel pressured or try to answer quickly, I'll get it wrong. This made learning to drive pretty difficult.

But none of these difficulties stress me out to the point that I feel it's likely to raise my cancer risk five-fold, or make me die a decade sooner than "normal" people.
Like I said, either left-handedness is a physiological abnormality (and is accompanied by other, as yet undiscovered physiological abnormalities which increase one's risk of various diseases) or else the studies are flawed, and I'm banking on (or at least hoping for) the latter.

Everything's relative. What you "feel" or "sense" to be simplistic to you may very well be. But what does your response time with your right hand compared to that of a right-hander show?

Throw a ball with your left hand. Find someone who can throw a ball the exact same distance with their right.

Then you switch hands and have them keep using the same one.

Tell me who's going to win this contest.

You may perceive things to be simplistic - and perhaps they are for the most-part.

But when push comes to shove, you're living in a world built for people who are not like you, and we're better with our right hand than you are with yours.
