So, you are saying that because you didn't think to turn the paper a little and get your left hand out of the "n" shaped curl to keep yourhand from getting charcoal or erasable pen all over it as you drag it through what you just wrote, we are supposed to feel sorry for you.Get real. I am a left handed person and living in a right handed is not that hard. It is called being ambidextrous..look it up..(it is beneficial for every one..) depending on where I am, at someone elses computer trying to help them (where the mouse is most likely on the right hand side) or at my own computer where it is on the left, as I prefer.. it makes no difference. I don't even think about it anymore... it is simple, no matter which hand you use, the index finger is select, the middle finger is click.. not hard people, not hard at all.
"truth be told I can use both. but it doesn't negate teh fact that it woudl be nice" Sure it would be nice.. lots of things would be nice.. but don't wait around for people to make things that cater to your every need. If you think an ergonomic left handed mouse is necessary, manufacture one, otherwise, get an ergonomic mouse pad and stop complaining. "learning pool is a Trip" pool is hard for anyone to learn, even with thier domonate hand, if you were smart you would learn equaly with both right and left so that you could make more shots when the ball was in an uncomfortable spot for a right handed shot...
Stop complaining about people not making the world easier for you and start making it easier for yourself..
So they are sending these organisms out into outer space to see if they can withstand the natural forces of outer space in order to prove that life "might" not have originated from elements native to earth? Assuming evolution is true, (or, rather, since so many of us disagree on or can't accept the word evolution, assuming traits come and go depending on their necessity of our survival in our environment is true), any organism or life form that would have come from outer space and been strong enough to survive the travel from wherever it came from in the strenuous conditions space provides, would no longer have those traits while living on earth as it no longer needs those traits. Especially since it has been so long that life has been on earth. These people are trying to take something they think "came from space" and put it "back" into space without any of the protective traits it "might" have had when it "was" living there. This makes no sense what so ever. It seems to me that they are setting themselves up for failure. They would have to "train" an organism and let it "learn" survive in increasingly more strenuous conditions closer to that of space over years and then maybe the organism might be able to survive. Even then, it would not prove that life "might" have come from some other source than the elements of earth, it would only further prove natural selection. What a waste of time and money, unless they are trying to prove natural selection (which we know already exists.. )
