Kejott's list Of Things That Don't Make Sense (to me at least)

Dancing-What the fuck IS dancing? Oh look at me I'm moving my body around in a repative motion and thinking I'm actually doing something worthy of my time, but in fact I'm just moving around for no particular reason.

Music-You KNOW someone was bored when they created music. Music is great but holy shit does it make sense? A set of sounds that we play over and over again in different order and people seek these peices of noise out as highly prized works of genius, when the fact of the matter is musicians are just making noise.

Revenge-Why do people feel the urge to "get even" when in fact it solves absoloutely nothing. Getting even with someone has no productive value, it does nothing what so ever besides make everything more complicated.

Chewing Gum-Why the hell does something exist that's specifically for chewing and not for consumption? According to some religions wouldn't that be gluttony because you're chewing for taste and not for the nourishment?

Hugh Grant-At first glance one would assume that he's the greatest actor ever because he never breaks character...that is until you watch his work and realise they're different movies. He acts COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY EXACTLY THE SAME in every single god damn one of his movies! He never even goes outside his little romantic comedy comfort zone. Sheesh hasn't he ever heard of any other genres? Be in an action movie Hugh, for christ sakes! You can even be in a documentary, PLEASE do something else! PLEASE be someone else other than the same person over and over and over, just put in different (not even THAT much different) situations!

Dancing-What the fuck IS dancing? Oh look at me I'm moving my body around in a repative motion and thinking I'm actually doing something worthy of my time, but in fact I'm just moving around for no particular reason.
I'm kinda with you, really. I honestly cannot tell if it's good dancing or if I should put a wallet in the persons mouth. Don't get it. I hear them say, "You have to have rhythm" but the music is pounding out BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM. At that point snakes have rhythm.
Music-You KNOW someone was bored when they created music. Music is great but holy shit does it make sense? A set of sounds that we play over and over again in different order and people seek these peices of noise out as highly prized works of genius, when the fact of the matter is musicians are just making noise.
Rather than explain how it works and reveal myself for the total music nerd that I am, I'll just move on...

Revenge-Why do people feel the urge to "get even" when in fact it solves absoloutely nothing. Getting even with someone has no productive value, it does nothing what so ever besides make everything more complicated.
It fills a temporary sense of justice that usurps the feeling of helplessness that happened when they where wronged. Until that person reacts to their feeling of helplessness, and soon everyone's blind.

Chewing Gum-Why the hell does something exist that's specifically for chewing and not for consumption? According to some religions wouldn't that be gluttony because you're chewing for taste and not for the nourishment?
You know, you've converted me. I chew gum every now and then and I always find myself two minutes in going "Why the fuck am I doing this?" and then it's the subtle search for a way of disposing of the gum so that the person who gave it to me doesn't notice. Fuck gum, dammit...

Hugh Grant-At first glance one would assume that he's the greatest actor ever because he never breaks character...that is until you watch his work and realise they're different movies. He acts COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY EXACTLY THE SAME in every single god damn one of his movies! He never even goes outside his little romantic comedy comfort zone.

Hugh Grant is the guy you noticed that with? The bigger the name of the actor the less likely they are to act so much as act like themselves with different names and costumes. That's why you watch movies with hungry unknown actors before they lock themselves into an image.

I never understood the concept of catch-and-release fishing. I mean, when I go fishing, as it may be said I do at least once ever year, it is to satisfy a craving for fresh fish, and what kind of odd person does not like fish? (Do not answer that!) God put the animals here and let us have dominion over them so we could sustain ourselves, not so we could traumatize little creatures by hauling them from their natural environment just long enough to snap a little picture and toss them back into the wild.

To be fair to Hugh Grant, why the hell would he want to leave his romantic comedy comfort zone? That comfort zone is making him a rich, rich man. Screw professional pride or integrity, there's money to be made and he's making it by the truckload.

As for dancing... I dunno, I'm not very into it myself. But people do it because it makes them feel good, I suppose. Modern dancing looks pretty ridiculous, though. As one of my classmates back in high school put it, "they look like trout with their tails nailed to the floor." So true.

Music is another "because it feels good" thing. The sounds are pleasing, basically. Same for revenge. It's not actually very productive, but damn, it makes you feel better. Same with chewing gum, I guess? I'd rather eat something though, since I'm not too big on really sugary stuff and chewing gum is just chewy sugar and artificial flavour.

God put animals here and let us have dominion over them? Whoa, some nice religious arrogance. We did the dominion bit all by ourselves, and we don't need animals to sustain ourselves any longer. Why do we still do it? Because we like it.

Many people fish for the sport, not for the killing and the food. Frankly, if I was a fish, I'd rather be given a shock and then let go, then be given a shock, left to suffocate slowly on a boat and then dismembered and eaten. Unnecessaily doing this to fish is bad, but it's a damn sight better than unnecessarily killing them.

For myself, here's something that doesn't make sense to me:

Fashion. As in, clothes. Why the hell is one thing 'cool' now and in a few years totally 'uncool'? And why do we let idiots dictate what is 'fashionable' and what's not?

I don't understand small airborne insects like moths or daddy long legses.

Honestly, whether you believe in Evolution or ID the design of small flying insects is irrevocably idiotic.

Why you ask?

Because if they land in water... they die!!

What kind of idiot would design a species that undergoes mass genocide each time it bloody well rains??

Whatever.

Your descriptions, especially that of dancing and music, clearly displays a derisive attitude towards them.
You did say you liked music, if so, how can you not "understand" it?

Whats not to understand?

Humans like music becuase of the emotions various songs induce or evoke from us.
Enjoying the experience is the entire reason to do it.
There isnt really much thought required.

Satire you say?

Hmm...I uh, couldnt tell.
Satire, you see, is recognizable as such, when read.

I thought you were just a bit of a douche.
Instead, it turns out you just need to hire Bruce Vilanche or something.

i hate dancing - it does indeed make no sense. surely someone will say "but its fun"... but thats the thing, its not fun for everyone. hence those people who find it fun and constantly encourage those who do not to come join in and dance (by saying "come on its fun") just don't get it and are being ignorant. grrrr *mumble mumble hate dancing mumble* :mad:

I'm a big fan of revenge, it's great with cold milk and extra sugar.

But in all seriousness, revenge is what it is, a natural response by a human being. You punch me, I stab you, you stab me I shoot you and so on and so forth. Revenge feels good and it feels even better if you can get away with it.

Music and dancing don't make sense because they are not meant to be explored on a logical level. Think of them as celebrations of life. Of course, if one is not enjoying life, the celebration of it is going to be a bit awkward.

the only thing i hate more ( apart from lossa other stuff. important stuff ) than dancing is people who try to force me to dance. and alcohol. I'll be drunk and I'll be dancing and my mind will be screaming at me to stop. I don't like dancing and this bastard liquid stole my inhibitions! I like my inhibitions.. bastards..

There are many things I don't understand but they don't bother me as much as things that I really wonder how they started

like drinking cow's milk- I mean were two guys sitting at the farm watching a calf nurse and said "hey let's try that too'
or bungee jumping- how bored do you have to be to say "hey what if I tether my self to something really high and just jump off?"

yeah i think that kind of crap all the time, too... the worst one is cheese. i mean, after they decided to go drink some cow juice - wich is weird enough - they must have said to themselves "i know, lets leave this around for a while till it goes off... and then eat it! what a great idea!" :headbang:

Piggybanks that have no way for you to get the money out. What's the hells up with that?

Learning long division. We have calculators - I don't need to learn long division! (I also don't get why I have to learn about a bunch of other stuff I'm never ever going to need and could not care less about).

"Mini" food. Like those mini chocolate bars. I want a whole one dammit!

People who eat rubbish and never exercise but stay slim. Self-explanatory.

Silent letters. Why? Also words that sound utterly different to how they should.

Oh and the person who said fashion, I definitly agree. They make no sense. What's up with ponchos? Or freezing cold clothes in winter? It's also infuriating when you're shopping and trying to get some normal clothes but can't because of these weird fashions.... I once went in about twenty shops and couldn't find a single plain black kneelength skirt for school!

i hate dancing - it does indeed make no sense. surely someone will say "but its fun"... but thats the thing, its not fun for everyone. hence those people who find it fun and constantly encourage those who do not to come join in and dance (by saying "come on its fun") just don't get it and are being ignorant. grrrr *mumble mumble hate dancing mumble* :mad:

Sometimes I love dancing and sometimes I hate it. I don't think I've ever tried to persuade someone to dance - I know how maddening it is when people keep trying to get you to something they think is fun. For me it's singing. Damn my lack of tunefulness...

Dancing-What the fuck IS dancing? Oh look at me I'm moving my body around in a repative motion and thinking I'm actually doing something worthy of my time, but in fact I'm just moving around for no particular reason.

The original form of dance, which does still exist to an extent, is a form of art and self expression, whether it be of reverance (crazy shaman-dude hopping around a fire) or love (two people dancing together), or something else.
Contemporary dance, however, is just the result of inevitable cultural degridation. It happened to the Egyptians (lotus blossom sniffers), it happened to the Romans (bread and circus), its happening to us.

Music-You KNOW someone was bored when they created music. Music is great but holy shit does it make sense? A set of sounds that we play over and over again in different order and people seek these peices of noise out as highly prized works of genius, when the fact of the matter is musicians are just making noise.

Same as above. An artistic, inborn way that some of us use to convey our emotion.
Also as above, most moden music (rap etc) is just crap.

Revenge-Why do people feel the urge to "get even" when in fact it solves absoloutely nothing. Getting even with someone has no productive value, it does nothing what so ever besides make everything more complicated.

This is an example of instinct meets intelligence and everything goes to hell in a handbasket. It is instinctual to eliminate threats in our enviroment. With the development of human intelligence and more advanced memory, this instinct became distorted and creates revenge, war and whatsuch.

Chewing Gum-Why the hell does something exist that's specifically for chewing and not for consumption? According to some religions wouldn't that be gluttony because you're chewing for taste and not for the nourishment?

Wouldn't this be the only thing that is gluttony? Food helps sustain and revitalize us, gum is just material desire for minty freshness.

I don't understand why after reading this thread I have a sudden desire to go get revenge on Hugh Grant (because he stole my best dance moves, the jerk) while chewing sum gum and listening to Funky Town. Then I think I'll eat some FUN size candy bars, do some long division and throw fish into the water.
I just don't understand it all, but I am willing to blame it on the Interweb! DAMN YOU, INTERWEB!

On a historical note, us humans used to eat disgusting stuff.
We'd regularly eat rotten or rancid meat, or drink off milk. But that was OK, because humans grew up eating and drinking that sort of stuff, so our digestive systems were much tougher.

These days if you try eating rancid meat you'll get very very sick. You just haven't built up a resistance to it.

So, for the people who regularly drink off milk (since they have no refrigerators, and still have hot days), there'd be a fair few who would be game to try the congealed milk. When they discover the process for making cheese, it gives them an extra food that can easily be produced.

Don't forget, also, that throughout history it was usual for humans to go through periods of starvation. People will eat just about anything if they're starving.

A few people mention music. I think it should be pointed out that musical appreciation is a learnt response. Children aren't actually born enjoying music (and how many enjoy classical music?). That's why the first time a westerner hears indian music they probably think it's awful noise, and vice versa.
Music is very intuitive, and as such has been developed by many cultures.

What is Pepsi's purpose?

To make money. People will buy what is familiar to them, and people can build up addictions to sugar and caffeine. Give someone that regularly drinks pepsi a pepsi, and they'll feel better afterwards. Give someone that regularly eats lunch a pepsi each day and they'll happily have one each day without thinking about it.

I'll give you a pot. and some bread. And maybe a few strips of meat each week. And some carrots. And some lettuce.

And I'll give you just that, each week, every week, for a year.

Then I'll give you a horrible tasting item, like an onion. And see how long it takes you to try it and discover it tastes horrible. And see how many different experiments you'll do to it, to see if it can improve, or even just change, the taste of the stew that you eat each and every day.
Chances are you'll try making chips from it, cutting it into slices, garnering your food, squeezing the juices, broiling, frying, etc.

It doesn't amaze me that people try new foods when they haven't got other options.

What amazes me is someone decided to put bacon and eggs on a hamburger. "I want breakfast, but I also want a burger"

You do have a point, but to be quite honest, if I picked up an onion and bit into it without knowing what it was, i'd likely think it was poisonous. There are other similarly shaped things that are poisonous...tulip bulbs, etc.

Dancing is so stupid.

Chewing gum was like cigarettes for soliders it kept their mind busy or something...(I think)

I know for certain you are wrong with that, at least partially. Hugh Grant was in a film called Desperate Measures (I think) with Gene Hackman. It was about fucked up experiments on hobos to find a cure for people with broken backs. It rated a 6.5 on the Suckometer. Hence, Hugh Grant has done more than RomComs.

I must seek out this film and watch it for myself, because I find that extremely hard to believe.

Oh no, another shall soon become infected because of my interfering tongue! What have I done?!

But seriously, just don't. Read a review, but DO NOT WATCH IT.

Also what about soda or any other kind of beverage that's not water. Some tea can help stomach aches and sore throat and all that good stuff, but what about something like Pepsi. What is Pepsi's purpose?

It's a Nazi weapon to eliminate black people. (Look what it did to Michael Jackson)

Dancing-What the fuck IS dancing? Oh look at me I'm moving my body around in a repative motion and thinking I'm actually doing something worthy of my time, but in fact I'm just moving around for no particular reason.

Originally contrived as a form of communication, dancing can now be used as a form of excercise. Although it is not a great idea for everyone.

Music-You KNOW someone was bored when they created music. Music is great but holy shit does it make sense? A set of sounds that we play over and over again in different order and people seek these peices of noise out as highly prized works of genius, when the fact of the matter is musicians are just making noise.

Everything about music makes sense. As a synesthete
(http://www.school-for-champions.com/senses/synesthesia.htm) I get more out of music than most people. Music is something that can take concrete objects and make the most beautiful abstract contours with. Music it what seperates us from non-sentient beings.


Revenge-Why do people feel the urge to "get even" when in fact it solves absoloutely nothing. Getting even with someone has no productive value, it does nothing what so ever besides make everything more complicated.

Agreed. Revenge is kind of a short term feel-good move. But it comes back on you, no matter what.

Chewing Gum-Why the hell does something exist that's specifically for chewing and not for consumption? According to some religions wouldn't that be gluttony because you're chewing for taste and not for the nourishment?

I will only defend this for people with halitosis. They REQUIRE chewing gum.

Hugh Grant-At first glance one would assume that he's the greatest actor ever because he never breaks character...that is until you watch his work and realise they're different movies. He acts COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY EXACTLY THE SAME in every single god damn one of his movies! He never even goes outside his little romantic comedy comfort zone. Sheesh hasn't he ever heard of any other genres? Be in an action movie Hugh, for christ sakes! You can even be in a documentary, PLEASE do something else! PLEASE be someone else other than the same person over and over and over, just put in different (not even THAT much different) situations!

A good point. But true of so many other actors (Owen Wilson for example). But people buy tickets to see their films based on Hugh Grant's "sexiness and swagger". If you think about the plot of a majority of movies you see there is little substance anyway.
