Things you just don't get

[Aries_Split]

I don't understand how people can believe there is a giant bearded man in the sky that supposedly loves everyone, floods the earth, and hates gay people.

I have yet to see a Christian find a witty comeback for that sentence, which single handedly dismantles their ultimately crazy religion.

You live.

Then you die.

Game over. And no, there isn't any cake.

You stole my phylosiphy.
This is life. Born. Live. Die.
The universe will end making everything you do pointless so why bother.

Going by my last statement.
I don't get anything.
Seriously why bother with anything?

Oh and there is cake I just stole it all.

Jewellery -
Hey, guys! Let's hang shiny metals off our ear lobes!

Hmmm. Not good, not good at all.

Good god people... is it really so hard to exersice your minds a bit and at least try to understand? My summary of the first page:


Earrings Looks pretty.
Religion Because people get depressed thinking they're nothing but a sexually transmitted disease that happened to become sentient.
Fashion Because people look better fashioned up than being slobs in washedout holey t-shirts and frayed jeans.
Piercings Looks pretty (to some) and feels pretty damned good (to some) after it heals and it comes into good usage, such as during sex.
Getting intoxicated Because some people have more fun that way. I'm one of them.
Makeup Looks pretty part of the time.
HALO 2 ending Because not having an ending would be kind of weird. Then someone got uncreative as deadline approached and had to force it.
Dane Cook Who's that? Well I don't know... humor is subjective. Even if you don't like it, someone else does. Go watch something else.
Customer Service What's not to understand?
Comedy of the past 5 years Again, humor is subjective.
Role-Playing Games Because being creative yourself and making up your own story in collaboration with friends is a whole lot more fun than getting stuffed pre-chewed, pre-digested shite from TV.
Coding Systems no one uses Was there a question here?
Programming Code in general Because it's a helluva lot better than programming in machine code.
Fetishes So you're saying you're not getting turned on by anything and that you have no preferences at all?
Internet Memes Because there is humor in repetition.
The Government Because you're too lazy to care about actually governing things.
Video Game or Movie Criticism Clarify please.
Porn It gets people horny.
Rings Looks pretty
Tatoos Looks sexy (to some)


See? It's not hard, just start thinking.

WOW!!! You must a riot at parties!!

Will Ferrall? WTF!?

 

[Vortigar]

I really don't get smoking. Or more specifically tabacco smoking. I know why it exists and persists of course (economic, societal and status issues).

The stuff itself should be just as illegal as any drug because of its addictive nature. It does loads of damage to your health and the health of people around you. Nobody liked their first few cigs. Plus it costs money, and in the long run a heaping lot of money.

but despite all of this it is deemed 'cool' or something. How can something so stupid be cool? That's probably the essence of what I don't get. It's one great big sign that says 'BAD DEAL' and people just buy it anyway because of some grand pretention. It truly is the brightest example of mass delusion.

aside:
At the risk of sounding like an atheist of the highest order. Religion was most aptly explained by Randy Newman I think:
"The invention of an animal that knows it's going to die." (From the musical Faust)
PS. I've got nothing against faith or God. I've a raging hatred for religion though, or rather the controlled closed societies it creates.

aside 2:
I also don't get the companion cube love. I got the achievement thing for killing it instantly the first time around. Someone said it screamed? I thought that was Glados messing with me. And who the heck didn't notice the fact that Glados was a bound woman hanging from the ceiling? Are you blind?

Please, explain women.

 

[s-l-u-g]

The whole "Let's just be friends" bullshit line and just girls in general.

Well if you ask out a girl who you don't know all too well and they say they just want to be friends, they just don't want to go out with you. It's an easy way to let you down. And if you've been friends with a girl for a while and she says something like that, she really just has no interest in you in that way. I'm sure you've had female friends who you had no intention of ever going out with, it's the same situation.

The one I always get is the "I'm having boyfriend problems right now.." or "I just got out of a relationship." -.- goddamn./

I don't get why both genders think the other one is so different. There are easy explanations to any problem you have.

 

[Crystine]

I don't get why people buy cars they cannot park/drive. Or why people cannot park right. It drives me INSANE when I see someone parked too close to the next car, or their wheels are on/over the parking line and it forces everyone to park crookedly so they don't get a door slammed into their car when the asshole gets in his....

I'm really worked up about this subject. Maybe it's just my OCD? Or is it that most people now either cannot or do not care to park right?!!?

Better than building a 27 kilometer rail gun just to prove there isn't?

 

[aswiftlytiltingreality]

I don't get why people wear those retarded croc shoes. They look ridiculous and they always wear the ones in the loudest colors imaginable. I don't understand how someone could see those and think they would look awesome wearing them.

 

[Jamash]

I don't understand the word "addicting". I've only seen it is the past year or two & it seems like a misuse of the word addictive.

You wouldn't describe a Ninja as being "decepting", you would say deceptive, & you wouldn't describe Christmas as the "festing" season, you say festive, so why describe addictive games as "addicting"?

If I was at school & used "addicting" instead of addictive in an English exam, then quite correctly, I would lose marks.

To me it seems like the kind of uneducated mistake a child would make, it just doesn't seem like a proper word.

Things you just don't get

One thing I don't get is why people would wear earrings. Putting a hole in the weirdest part of the body to hang shiny metal from it? Strikes me as odd, and if you really look at them they just look silly.

So what don't you get/understand?

The ear isn't the silliest part of the body to stick metal through, that would be the lungs.

As disturbing as that sounds I bet that you could find some with that on the internet within 2 minutes.

Getting drunk. Seriously, I could write entire essays on why it's the most senseless form of punishment for your body. What do you honestly get out of it? Most people I talk to hate the taste of hard liquor, but drink it anyway. They hate waking up with a hangover, hate embarrassing themselves when they're drunk, and so on and so on. Yet so many people, even on these forums are all about getting hammered/plastered/whatever you want to call it.

I just don't get it.

The reason I've chosen to never drink alcohol is because it tastes nasty and nothing good ever comes from drinking. I agree 100% there.

I have chosen not to drink because I hate the taste of liquor. Limited consumption of alcohol is actually good for your body, it works the liver and makes it stronger. Only drink in moderation, a couple of beers, a few glasses of wine, or just one or two shots are all perfectly acceptable. heavy drinking has the adverse effect.

Why everyone seems to go apes#!t over 'The Hills'...Seriously, why does anyone give a rats ass about Spencer/Heidi/Brody/or any of those spoiled tools, let alone give them 'celebrity' status. For what I scream?

What I don't get is how you know all their names...

But yeah, I agree. I don't really get the state of celebrity today in general.

 

[ElephantGuts]

I'm sorry, I stopped reading the posts on this thread after I read somebody say that they didn't get porn so that I could post, "I'm sorry, did someone just say they didn't get porn?" So here goes.

I'm sorry, did someone here say that they didn't get porn? I was trying to think of what to say I didn't get, but now I have my answer.

I don't get how someone could not get porn.

Seriously.
