I don't know if I did this on these forums or not. I don't think so, so here it is. A thread where you can't state and comment on Things You Just Don't Get!
I'll start...
The male fascination with Female on Female. I've heard the "Becuz its Hawt" argument and the "1 + 1 = 2" argument. Neither of which really makes sense.
Also, people in stories and real life who are always seem surprised when a scientist or educated person does something evil or just plain stupid.
I put it down to biology:
A male seeing two females becoming sexually aroused presents him with two possible mates to pass on his genetics. Two males, propagates a genetic end to a species so an attraction to two males in "action" would not generate the same response.
Keep in mind please I am not anti gay I am just trying to put a logic to the male mind set and its views on visual stimuli. And it is sad that I have to put that disclaimer in my explanation.
What would you suggest as an alternative?More seriously, eliminate offsides and alternate set pieces from set marks such as 30 yards out, that way the whole team is involved in each play and the action continues. Have a clearance line, maybe 40 yards out, and if the defending team clears than it flips to a set piece for the other team. First team to score wins.
Too complicated. After, 30 minutes overtime, it would simply take too long and would put too much strain on the players.
You also seem to have no idea how intense and nerve-wrecking a penalty shootout is.
Modern "art"
Interior decorating... how THIS is an actual thing...
Haiku's in english
Why everything eastern is automatically considered more spiritual.
You also seem to have no idea how intense and nerve-wrecking a penalty shootout is.
How uninformed of you to make an incorrect assumption like that, I've been watching the quality leagues (you know, EPL, Spanish Primera, and Bundesliga) for many years, as well as watching the major tournaments, so yep, I've seen plenty of nerve wracking shootouts. Having a game decided by 1 on 1 in a team sport is lame, almost as lame as Matterazzi, but not quite. :P

Then you would hate quidditch...

Just release lions onto the field. Lets see how real that "injury" you got from being slide tackled was. Your academy award can't save you now!

I don't think that anyone should have more th[a]n two kids anyway.How many children do you have, Hama?
None as of yet, and I don't plan on having any in the near future also. And when I decide to have a child, I'll stop at one. Maybe two, but that will be a tough call. I will most certainly not go above two.

I fully support parenting licenses as long as I am the only one authorized to grant them.
If it improves the life of just one child!!!!!As opposed to "you can't help everyone so don't bother"? Ya.
Not at all. It's a risk analysis.
What do we lose vs. what will possibly be gained."Just one* child" isn't enough.

Well for the most part. Several people have 'noticed' Suh...
I take it you don't have a child.
But He did stay at a holiday in express...

Obviously you just don't understand things are the necessary level to see why core only is the only REAL way to play the game, Icyshadow. =)
Madame Sissyl is hawt.

I didn't know a child was required for basic math...
You have yours count it's fingers for you?If you're implying that if I had a child, I would be willing to have more government intrusion in everyone else's life, just for him/her, you'd be mistaken.
Big picture, and all that.

That's the "1+1=2" argument.The male fascination with Female on Female. I've heard the "Becuz its Hawt" argument and the "1 + 1 = 2" argument. Neither of which really makes sense.I can attempt to answer this. Straight men like to see hot women. Two hot women are better then one hot woman. And if they do something erotic, even better.
I know quite a few women who are into man-on-man. (Slash fiction is predominately written by female writers.) Honestly, I think 1+1=2 is about as simple and obvious an answer as it'll get. I actually don't get what's hard to get about it.
Things I do not get:
-How anybody could enjoy the program 'Dads' enough that it survived past the pilot
-How we first discovered that pineapples are edible. That is a fruit that seems to shout in big bold spines, "DO NOT TOUCH ME"
-The intelligent people I know who are also religious fundamentalists

Then the team shouldn't let it get to that point, eh? :)You also seem to have no idea how intense and nerve-wrecking a penalty shootout is.How uninformed of you to make an incorrect assumption like that, I've been watching the quality leagues (you know, EPL, Spanish Primera, and Bundesliga) for many years, as well as watching the major tournaments, so yep, I've seen plenty of nerve wracking shootouts. Having a game decided by 1 on 1 in a team sport is lame, almost as lame as Matterazzi, but not quite. :PFrankly, I think teams should play until resolution (in situations where a draw is inconclusive). You don't even need an overtime period. If after 90 minutes and extra time it's still knotted, keep going until one side scores a Golden Goal. This would favor the team with superior conditioning.
They tried Golden Goal and Silver Goal. It was terribly unpopular. Also, the strain put on the players would simply be irresponsible. Many of them have muscular problems after 120 minutes already.
If you had a child you'd understand that basic math doesn't mean near as much as you might think. But to each their own, believe what you want.I take it you don't have a child.If it improves the life of just one child!!!!!As opposed to "you can't help everyone so don't bother"? Ya.Not at all. It's a risk analysis.

I will and I do! You as well.

Any child of mine is precious... but not only for being cute as a child. I won't stop caring about that person just because he/she grew up. Since the things I am most grateful for are that there are LIMITS to state power over me, that I can vote, that I don't have to fear being disappeared because someone in government doesn't like me... that is the society I want my child to live in, same as I have. What would be the point in destroying that, knowing that dictatorships are far more dangerous places for children? Stupid people keep bleating that "if something could happen to ANY child in a democracy, we need to go dictatorship to PROTECT THE POOR CHILDREN!!!" In truth, all they prove is that they are ignorant at the most basic level of politics and history.
Harems for our top scientists to improve the gene pool. Paying a lot more for sperm donations would be more effective but they voted in this option for some reason... (egg donations.. not so much)
I've heard that Princess Anne's comment on this was 'It doesn't work in horse-racing'
I don't think the genetics are that straightforward.

They keep approaching Nobel prize winners about sperm donations. One of these targets told them (paraphrased): "If you want children that become Nobel prize winners, then you should have talked to my father, who was a cobbler in Queens. My son is aiming for a career in playing the guitar and hanging out with his friends."

I don't get why people don't understand cricket it's simple:
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side thats been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay all out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!

All this in and out talk sounded a lot less like a sport and a lot more like teh intercourse.

-How we first discovered that pineapples are edible. That is a fruit that seems to shout in big bold spines, "DO NOT TOUCH ME"
-The intelligent people I know who are also religious fundamentalists
Dads - it's more of the same crude humor of Family Guy. Seth macfarlane is, dare i say it, an acquired taste. :D
Pineapple - my theory is that, if it exists, a human has tried to eat it, shoot it, or have sex with it - or sometimes all three. Just like we figured out pineapples, coconuts, and psychedelic mushrooms, we also figured out from the Darwin Awards that eating nightshade is deadly, live crocodiles don't make good sex toys, and flinging yourself from a trebuchet is a bad idea.
Religious fundamentalism - contrary to conventional opinion, devout belief and scientific curiosity aren't mutually exclusive - otherwise, we wouldn't have Newtonian physics, genetic theory or certain key theories of electromagnetism (or we'd have had them much later than we did). It takes all kinds, and most importantly people understanding that ignorance and stubbornness is not the exclusive province of any group - idiots abound from Sea to Shining Sea. :)
Oh, yes - what I don't get:
Trying to "change and improve" significant others - it makes Sisyphus look like a Man with a Plan
The appeal of "Reality TV" - I understand that Schadenfreude is the main component, but its like Pro Wrestling without at least the wink and acknowledgement that its all fake...
Well, you know, Sisyphus rocks on!
But reality TV... You are wrong. It's more like japanese eel porn (please don't google this...), only with people-shaped entities.

I love japanese eel porn- don't insult it by dragging it to the level of reality tv!
Sisyphus got good exercise.
I don't get Batman fans. I also don't get Cthulhu fans.
However, this only applies to the more aggressive parts of both fandoms.
You know, the ones who consider you an inferior being for not liking what they like?

Please tell me that you just made that up.japanese eel porn
of course not!

he's in great shape, that guy.

after the bad experience I had with the guys who ran a cthulhu game once, I'm right there with you. Batman fans get stuck in their interpretation of batman and hate everyone else who likes anything different.

Thank you for explaining succinctly why baseball is inherently superior.I don't get why people don't understand cricket it's simple:

The game where the players wear pyjamas and have a special glove to make everything easier.
I don't get Batman fans. I also don't get Cthulhu fans.
However, this only applies to the more aggressive parts of both fandoms.

I don't get either of those two groups either (even the ones that aren't violently passionate).
I mean, when you're watching guys who can lift up buildings, or destroy missiles with a blast of energy, or deflect bullets, or run so fast as to travel through time, and then you got one guy who swings around on a rope throwing boomerangs, and yet he is the most powerful of all of them in their eyes...
Just doesn't make sense.
I don't get Batman fans. I also don't get Cthulhu fans.
However, this only applies to the more aggressive parts of both fandoms.

I don't get people that are fans of both. If Batman > Everything and Cthulhu can't die, who the hell is going to win if they fight?
