Things that don't make any sense to you

What are some things that have NEVER made any sense to you?

Aside from the whole Vietnam War? (It's not a war, it's a police sanction, everybody's just going over for training but we're drafting them so there's a gun to their head that they HAVE to go where there ain't no war or else they're a traitor to their country), how about that fruitcake Johnson signing a law that draft card burners go to prison for 5 years? For all they knew back then, by the time they got out of jail the war would be over so what would be the point of that? They don't want to go to war so you punish them by NOT sending them to war and putting them in jail instead? Sure I get there's that traitor to the country stigma attached to it but if they were worried about that they wouldn't burn their cards in the first place.

Things that don't make any sense to me? Sorry, Hun but that preceding paragraph for one thing.

SN... they actually gave men the choice -- go to jail or go to war. My uncle stole a car, was offered 2 yrs in the army or six years in prison. He went to vietnam, then when he returned, they wouldnt give him leave to come home to philadelphia from california. so he went awol.. came home.. and then was not only sent BACK to war, but when his 2yrs were up, he went to jail for two years for going awol.


As far as not understanding. I do not understand the ppl on FB that post EVERY little thing they are doing minute by minute. Or write to their SO's or kids. Why write, "I love you kayla, today is your first birthday, mommy loves you so much"??? UM, the baby cant read it... and u are just trying to prove to others that you are a good parent? crazy

Top of the list of absolutely senseless things is why Cannabis (Marijuana) is illegal? On several fronts. It is no more dangerous than two legal substances (tobacco & alcohol) and the "Great Experiment" of alcohol Prohibition failed miserably and increased organized crime in the 1920s, just like drug prohibition today has put the cartels on a par with national defense in Mexico and other Latin American countries (and is spilling into the U.S.)

Why does the FDA insist that men who have had sex with men even once since 1977 can't donate blood? Those are not the only ones at risk of contracting HIV and the blood is tested for the virus anyway. Many medical doctors have stated this as fact, yet the FDA does not waiver in its discriminatory policy.

Why do impoverished, ppl who are being ripped off by the 1% of monied elite still support and vote for Repugnicants who are paid off by them and represent their interests? I guess this doesn't make sense unless you factor in that those pple who support their oppressors are senseless.

As Roseanne said, "2 weeks at home watching TV, boy that'll really make them maaaad."

Mouse flavored cat food!!!

i dont understand why people get pets not knowing anything about the breeds.

Every time the movie 101 Dalmatians came out, all the parents went rushing to get puppies... without knowing anything about them. They are a high energy, intelligent and stubborn breed. If you put a dalmatian in an apartment... it will be destroyed by the time you get home.

WHY would ppl not do research on such an investment of time, money, emotion????

Life in General.

Ugh.
I think I lost a friend recently. They keep getting dogs till they get one small enough to please their daughter. Ugh. She doesn't like any of the FOUR cuz they are not "purse dogs." Simply awful and this friend is no longer on the top list at all.

Purse dogs, seriously? When I was a kid all that was necessary for a dog to be good was to be a dog at all and be ours.
