I don't get children who rip animals from the wild (or see one and ask for it as a pet) and try to tame it down to be like a regular cat or dog. Lizards, for example. They scream at their parents to buy these monitors or other species, mainly because they want a large scaley pet dinosaur dog, their parents fold and get them one (as a hatchling, cheap and wild-caught at the petstore), then the poor creature dies in under a year because it was under stress, cramped conditions, and not cared for properly. Or the lizard bites the child's fingers off. The same instance could be said for a wolf that the parents thought could be tamed and let their children play with it. This also includes smaller species, such as small wild cats, raccoons and similar species, small marsupials, geckos, and the list goes on - except less of a problem for the owners and more fatality to the animals.
I don't understand it whatsoever.
But if I am one to ruin the moment of the thread, I also don't get:
Emaciated women
Assholes on online games (cheaters and the like)
L337 speak
Religious pricks
and over-rating games
Alcohol is great for getting over stress, as it relaxes the muscles. It should not be drunken by everyone, especially those who do not have the brain to know when to stop, but I find it much better and less addictive than smoking, and less painful than hitting trees.
