<p>Oversized pants worn halfway down the butt.</p>
<p>Could be dangerous to your health too</p>

<p>Comedians who think they have to use an obscenity every other word to make their routine funny.</p>
<p>What roshke said.</p>
<p>^^Along the same lines: fart jokes. “Humor” based on flatulence just doesn’t seem the least bit funny to me.</p>
<p>I don’t get why people feel the need to come to my door to annoyingly try to get me to join their religion. And when they see me, why do they think someone my age would suddenly want to take up their religion as if I had been waiting all these years for someone to waltz up and invite me to join and I’d just say - okay sure! However, I suppose they must get some people to join or else they wouldn’t keep doing it (over and over again).</p>
<p>ucsd - I don’t get that either, and I think the deal may be that the effort counts more than the results.</p>
<p>Another thing. Blasting music through headphones so loud othes can hear it from a distance. Why do you think I want to share your sucky taste in music?</p>

<p>You have destroyed me. I love all of these things, no joke. :(</p>
<p>Men wearing baseball caps and not ever taking them off.
Large tattoos.
“The Office” (don’t tell my kids I said that).
Lots of other things but I can’t think of them now.</p>
<p>^^ I was going to say that about the baseball caps. My son does that. I don’t know why the cap can’t come off inside.</p>
<p>You’re asking me why shouldn’t marijuana be legalized? I don’t understand why it should be legalized. I like the status quo…so the burden is on those who want change to explain it (this is the “I don’t get it” thread so please explain it to me).</p>
<p>My reasons for wanting to maintain the status quo: It’s not healthy, it impairs a person’s ability to do things like drive, etc. How would you regulate marijuana use? Would you want your surgeon to show up on the day of your surgery potentially stoned and you wouldn’t even know it? Do you want the guy driving the tractor trailer behind you on the interstate to be stoned? </p>
<p>What is the advantage to our society to have marijuana use legalized and does it outweigh the risks? The only advantage I’ve ever heard is that it is then taxable. So, people who want to use marijuana want it legalized so it’s easier to obtain and therefore it will be taxed. That reflects the worst part of the legalization of both tobacco products and alcohol, they are more readily available so that people can legally choose to do damage to themselves. We pay higher taxes on tobacco and alcohol because it inhibits use of those products because they damage the human body and to pay the costs to society that are incurred by people legally using tobacco products and alcohol. Why would we want to add marijuana to that list? So, yeah…I don’t get it. :D</p>
<p>^very well said, Centh</p>
<p>Free country, supposedly. My body, not yours. What I put in it, my choice. It should all be legal, if we really are free. Are we?</p>
<p>Gee, the more I read of this thread, the more it drifts into the “I don’t LIKE it” thread! ;-)</p>
<p>But what I personally don’t <em>get</em>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Women with lip injections – and the men who think it’s sexy.</li>
<li>Why I can’t find a pillow that says nice and fluffed up for any reasonable period of time before becoming flat and literally useless.</li>
<li>Drawn on/tattooed, unnatural looking eyebrows.</li>
<li>The wrong style bra worn with the wrong style top (i.e., regular bra with a racer back tank).</li>
<li>Solicitors who ring my doorbell even though I have a “no solicitors” sign on the door.</li>
<li>Mean people.</li>
</ul>
<p>Talk-show hosts who accept calls from people who are completely inarticulate, unable to formulate a thought, stay on their OWN topic which they, the callers, brought up. (Not referring to any language or accent barriers or speech impediments.) There’s no mute, silent, or hang-up switch? </p>
<p>And why, callers, would you want to call in when you are not understandable apparently to anyone outside yourself? (Or maybe even to yourself)</p>
<p>I wonder why any talk-show host with a very large bank of callers & a huge audience would think that the listening audience wants to hear five minutes of stammering and “um,” mixed in with apologies every other sentence or phrase.</p>
<p>Please forgive me on this one, because I’m not trying to offend anyone; I just really don’t get it. There must be a reason I haven’t considered:</p>
<p>Why does a committed couple have a child together and not marry? Why is having a child together less of a commitment than marrying each other?</p>
<ul>
<li>luxury pickup trucks </li>
<li>lawns (unless you have livestock to graze)</li>
<li>bottled water</li>
<li>individually labeled eggs</li>
<li>decaf coffee</li>
<li>all those little island countries marching in the Olympics</li>
<li>pennies</li>
<li>You must first dial a 1 </li>
<li>alpha+12 license numbers (enough letters and numbers for 26 trillion Maryland drivers!)</li>
<li>Lockheed Martin ads on TV (so where do I call to order my fighter jet?)</li>
</ul>
<p>“Why does a committed couple have a child together and not marry? Why is having a child together less of a commitment than marrying each other?”</p>
<p>Marriage<>commitment </p>
<p>Then there are those who the government won’t allow to marry, but still would like a child together. (See gay marriage)</p>
