    That seem to be popular with everyone else but for some reason never you.

    For me it's country music - minus Johnny Cash.

    And I have tried, lord knows I have, but it ain't ever going to happen.

    "There's a lot of things you're *** don't get.

    Yea, like ***** , and respect."

    Not you personally, man. But I had to take advantage of that set up.


    But yes, country music is a mystery. That's putting it nicely.

    - Emo/goth/metrosexual

    - Rims that cost more than the car they're on

    - Feelings, and most explanations that the other sex has to offer about them

    - Nascar and any other form of it

    - American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, etc., etc.

    - Skinny jeans (sorry, Aqua)

    - Religious nutjobs

    - Guys going tanning (see metrosexual)

    - French/Canadian people

    Good answers all.

    And here is another one that pops into mind - crappy reality TV shows. Like Survior, The Apprentiship - hate it so much I could care less if I spell it right or not - and American Idol.

    And that's just scratching the surface. It's this simple for me, if you were not famous before these shows, I could care less about you and your 15 minutes of sucky fame.

    I think I just made a less offensive list of things I don't like.

    Eh, I suppose it's close to the same.

    -People who order the triple quarter pounder and 1 pound of french fries and then have a Diet Coke with it.

    -Women who listen to urban/rap music that call women pretty much every demeaning thing imaginable, to me it's like listening to oneself being insulted over and over and over again..WTH?

    -Country Music..

    -People who cover themselves in tatoos

    -Music Groupies

    -People who obsess about their lawns and their yards

    - John Madden

    -Colin Cowherd

    -Vanilla Ice cream with no sprinkles

    wind... doesn't make sense, very annoying, especially relentless wind that just doesn't stop... it just doesn't make sense, yeah i know high and low pressures, blah blah but its just air, air we cant feel unless its all of a sudden moving... dumb...

    traffic on highways... if there are no lights there should never be a dead stop on a large highway unless there is an accident or lane merge... there just shouldn't, whoever is in the front of the traffic just keep going...

    I liked his very first half-hour special -- and really nothing since.

    Emo and Goth are *not* the same thing. The latter actually had some pretty cool music going for it.

    I actually find a couple reality shows compelling. I *love* Amazing Race, and I find Survivor pretty compelling as well.

    Amen. I've really, really tried. And I *love* science fiction.

    Rubbernecking. Why, or why, is it that people feel compelled to slow down to see the scene of an accident?

    Well thats not really fair to just say anime, because anime isn't a genre. It's just the Japanese form of cartoons.

    So there are a lot of different genre, saying it in a broad spectrum like that is like comparing Dora The Explorer to Family Guy as far as American Cartoons.

    That's a pretty broad category with multiple genres within it. There are plenty of animes that are just like any other show on tv, they just happen to be animated for one reason or another.

    Not getting anime to me is the equivalent of saying you don't get books, or magazines, music or any other tv shows.

    Saying you don't get Full Metal Alchemist or Cowboy Bebop (shows I like for example), is certainly a valid point of contention. Hell, I don't get some shows, particularly hentai. But I can say that about American Idol as well, I don't get it.


    But that's just my opinion on the topic.

    My Jack Russells are small dogs, should they be moved to the rodent list? They seem every bit a dog to me. They are loving, playful, smart, etc. They just happen to be 12-15lbs. But that's because they were breed to be that size and be able to burrow into holes and get hunted animals out.

    Yeah my family has two Chihuahuas and they are 100% dog. They fetch, and sit, and enjoy treats and walks. Are extremely loving and protective.

    I don't understand why they arent dogs.

    Thats one thing I understand, why a bigger dog is somehow better.

    wireless anything, wifi, keyless remotes, etc... i mean its not that i dont get it, im just still amazed by it... im amazed that im at a mall with 2000 cars and my keyless entry will only register on my car, will there ever be a point where a code is duplicated or something, eventually we have to run out of these individual codes that are used for each car... im amazed that all of this information and data are traveling in this air (that we cant feel unless its moving, aka dumb wind) yet it has no effect on our bodies in anyway (hopefully)... i can be on my cell phone driving 100 MPH with no problems, is some magically wireless tunnel of data traveling that same speed as me... its just a lot...

    the theory of god... i mean i guess i believe in some higher power, but im also a logical thinker and I cant wrap my head around something that doesn't have a beginning or an ending... so basically i know all of this couldn't have come from nothing, but if it came from a higher power, where did he come from? everything HAS to have a start point...
