    Given enough time that is precisely what Democrats will
    accomplish.To Ban the United States of America.
    I don't know what they would end up calling our Country.
    Maybe ... La La Land.Which is where the Democrat Party now
    is headquartered.Californacopia is halfway thar.

    Adults that act and dress like kids.. I don't get it and they are not fooling anyone but perhaps their selves.. I long said that many in my generation never grew up. (end of the Boomers)

    Body modifications... like gauged ears, scarring (because tattoos won't suffice apparently) sharpened teeth, implants that make it look like you have horns.

    I don't understand people who are loud in the house. Yelling their conversations at 5 feet away from their other people in the conversation.

    Also, leftists, I don't understand people who advocate for communism.

    I don't understand people who always have the TV on "in the background". Are they afraid that they are going to miss something or are they just afraid of having to deal with the thoughts in their own heads?

    Hey, you pay for 24/7 feeds of stuff you will never see, might as well make sure that some of their dibble comes out of a speaker once in a while.

    I don't understand people who pay for cable in this day and age.

    Something I really don't get is people who support taxcuts for the wealt
    Cut the cable years ago and never looked back. Everything I need is on the interwebs and I can choose what and when I watch or just read an ebook instead. I find reading to be way more satisfying with few exceptions. For example one of my favorite books of all time is Good Omens. I was skeptical of the series but since Neil Gammon was involved I decided to try it and I was impressed at how close it was to the book.

    Things you simply don't get...

    - Why does 'Woke' connote a politically liberal / progressive bent? I perhaps mistakenly have used it diametrically for my own conservatively nationalistic / Constitutionally textualist etc. rants, lol. - Why can't it simply mean 'the realization of', the 'fervor renewed', 'ardor harnessed', 'convictions unleashed' etc. :). And if it can't be used & claimed generically by all partisanly ideologic stripes - what would the 'conservative' connotative equivalent word be...?

    I'm not certain we want a grammically incorrect equivalent for this.

    Fair enough, lol... Some of us like to augment & explore 'creative expression' as we attempt to encapsulate the faceted nuances within. Imho, the Urban dictionary & evolution of informal cultural inference is a tool to be embraced; preferably there & not (for instance) w/ sacrosanct rudiments of our founding documents. - 'Living' / 'breathing' amorphism has no place in the latter but arguable does w/ the former...

    Algebra. I am a strict segregationist. Numbers should stay on their side of town. Letters should stay on theirs. They should not date, marry or ever have children. Schools that teach algebra need to be stop. Algebra is nothing more than unnatural symbol mixing.

    I don't get people who don't love math. :D It is the purest form of logic ever devised by humans. As for mixing numbers with letters, without that we never would have had Shakespeare. 2B or Not 2B.

    So what kind of math exclusively uses only Zeros and Ones.
    Dumbass math ... True or False.
    I mean,how smart does one have to be to not need to learn how
    to count up to 10.

    Heh, I can not only think in binary, which answers your question, but also octal, hexadecimal, and of course, decimal. There was a time when I could generally convert numbers in my head fairly easily.

    And you can count to 10 in binary. It goes 0, 1, 10. See, not hard. In fact there are 10 kinds of people in the world - those who understand binary and those who don't.

    Modern "art"... guess im just old fashioned in that sense. I'm impressed by hyperrealistic drawings, paintings, and sculptures... Salvador Dali type stuff, old architecture, classical music, but I absolutley do not understand much of what passes as brilliant and amazing today.

    Professional wrestling. I am not clear whether fans realize it is entertainment that is contrived for them. Or maybe fans see it is all just a Show put on by showmen who are gifted athletes and they like it for the show it is? However i look at it, it seems idiotic to me.
