Toni, your talking crossed purposes.
My reference to left and right, if you go back and have 'mummy' read, you will see I am referring to the 'meaning' of the words.
You can refer to whatever medium you want, I'm not taking your word that Google is wrong, what a long bow, mate give it a rest, I gave my reference to what 'I' was talking about, that's it end of.
Mate I have no idea what you're on about the French and politics and url's, etc,etc.
Do you now understand that my line was that the left means sinister, evil, bad, do you get it now?
Because I really don't care to have to elaborate further.
I'm not arguing or contesting whatever it is you are suggesting, I'm sure you're right, but we are talking about two different things, OK?

Tony Lavis is in fact close to the truth
A very very real danger to mankind is not the invisible left
It is in fact a right that openly has abandoned all links to truth
Why have they done this? have they conned their followers
Just maybe if that right ever achieved its target those followers would become first victims
Those targets include cheap labour/lower living standards for most
And more profit for the very rich
Breath easy
They are on the way out, lead by Americas Trump, they never existed in numbers big enough to control this country
Even in their natural home Queensland
After the election it will be seen even by the strongest supporters, the roll they played in removing the Federal government was and is toxic

Toni,

"Why did left-handedness - the original meaning of the word sinister ...come to be associated with evil?"

First, I think you're wrong about people using their left hand in battle. In ancient warfare, at least in organised, disciplined armies like Rome's, everyone carried their shield on their left arm and fought with their right. The army needed to present a wall of shields and that meant each man was partially protected by the shield to his right. Someone placing the shield on his right arm would have caused a gap in the shield wall. (Note this applies to the pre-Marian army but by then the suspicion of lefties was already established.) For more check out phalanx battle tactics...eg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phalanx#Shields

So why the distrust of leftness?

Its to do with individual safety and personal attack. Most societies develop some method for people, when they meet to demonstrate that they aren't a threat....handshake, the roman salute (raised right arm), the military salute (right arm to the forehead), even the Amer-Indian half raised right arm. All were about showing that you were benign..ie I am no threat and here's my empty right hand showing that I'm not hiding a weapon. But lefties could show their right hand but still be able to wield a weapon in their left. So they were devious...sinister.

//Because seriously, you're sick.//

Cry me a river, ya big Jessie.

What a sad case you are... happy to bully, abuse and harass all and sundry, but as soon as anybody says something you dislike you turn into a sooky little girl. Where's all your bullying bluster then, eh ALTRAV? Just pathetic, mate.

//Toni, there is no need to be so belligerent, when I slag off at someone it's because they're talking sh!t.//

Given that all you ever do is talk sh!t, ALTRAV, it's a wonder that people are as nice to you as they are.

//you will see I am referring to the 'meaning' of the words.//

Yes. So was I. You just seem to think that the definitions I've referred to are incorrect; although you've made no attempt at your own argument, nor cited any others, to explain why we should consider them incorrect. It's not me you need to try to shout down; it's wikipedia.

//I'm not taking your word that Google is wrong//

Seriously, you can't possibly be that thick. Stop pretending. You know the difference between a search engine and a website.

//I gave my reference to what 'I' was talking about//

Where? All you've done is say tell me to google it. But as has been explained to you, that isn't a useful reference. A useful reference directs a person to the SAME SOURCE you got your material from. A google search won't do that, because google doesn't produce the SAME results for everybody. It prodcuces DIFFERENT results for different people. So how am I supposed to look at the SAME SOURCE as you, when google gives DIFFERENT results?

Jesus mate, it's not rocket science.

Toni, your just another stubborn hard headed petulant.
Are you related to Foxy by any chance.
You see Toni, seeing as how I come from a 'proud' people I thought I'd look up your beloved Wikipedia.
Typed in the word 'sinister', and shock horror I got the same result only with fewer words, so not as descriptive as Google and therefore not as informative.
You twat, next time you want to impress your followers do some actual thinking.
Just because you have an aversion for the truth doesn't mean I, or anyone else has.
Wiki wrote, and I quote; "Sinister, commonly to: Evil, Ominous, Sinister may also refer to: Sinister, for the direction, "left"." unquote.
So Toni, as I said and I'll say it again I was talking about the difference and distinction of the meaning, and the origins of the 'WORD', and how it described the labour party, either by choice or by accident, the labour party has always been described as 'left', at least for as long as I have been alive, therefore being that they are 'left', means, by definition, that they are sinister or evil.
I saw no reference to the French or any such thing you were on about, so I'm not sure which Wikipedia you were referring to but the one I used gave me the same answer as Google.
How many times do I have to say it, If I make a comment, it is because I have come to know about it through one or more of the many mediums used by man to communicate, I don't just pull it out of my arse like some on OLO.
So Toni, I'm right again, so sit down take a deep breath and work on how your going to stop badgering people in opposing everything they say just for the sake of trying to look like you know what your talking about.
Obviously you don't as your continually referring to Wiki for information.
I on the other hand know what I'm talking about and 'sometimes' refer to Google for 'confirmation'.

ALTRAV,

"...How many times do I have to say it, If I make a comment, it is because I have come to know about it through one or more of the many mediums used by man to communicate"

You still need to give a reference, even if only through common courtesy, (except for things of common knowledge, such as 'The sun sets in the west').
