>I just don't get how people are against the war in Iraq but
>say they support the troops.
You can support the human beings they are and wish them well, without being 'for the war.' I don't get that people don't get that!
Another one: people talking on cell phones in public places, especially in a loud voice.

>Why GWB can't say 'nuclear' as opposed to 'neucular"
I don't know if it's true or not, but I've read that he made a conscious decision to mispronounce it, so he would sound more like 'common folks.' (That doesn't explain, however, his endless misuse and abuse of the English language in other ways!)

Ok - I will totally switch gears here. I do not get why at Labor Day firefighters across the country are allowed to stand in the middle of public roads, sometimes with flashing lights going on their trucks, slowing down or stopping the flow of traffic, asking people to put money in a boot for MD (a very worthwhile charity - no offense to it.) Yet if I try to do the same thing for any other worthwhile charity of any kind, I will get my a** ticketed and hauled into court. How is it they can do it and not even need a municipal permit of any kind, but I cannot?

*Why the government spends millions of dollars each year to fund in depth studies of the obvious like, "Eating too much linked to obesity epidemic."
*Designer clothes & expensive shoes on infants and toddlers
*The evening news teaser for an "exciting" story that is only like 10 seconds longer and has 0% more info. than what is in the teaser.
*Why my neighbor has a HUGE trampoline in the front yard for over 2 years & I have never seen 1 person jump on it.
*Star Magazine & The Enquirer. People really believe that this is real? Good for laughs at the checkout,though.
*Why people who don't agree with each other often resort to calling the other person an "idiot" instead of discussing the topic at hand

I don't get:
Why poodles are being bred with every breed imaginable and then being sold for outrageous prices. I've seen these for sale in the paper/internet: cockapoo, goldendoodle, labrodoodle, boxerdoodle, doberdoodle, maltapoo, yorkiepoo, pugapoo). If you want a poodle, then buy a poodle!!!
Why people wear white, chuncky socks with black shoes! Eww!
Why my neighbor (who I do not know) thought it was neighborly to bring my family a 1/2 eaten jar of peanut butter & jelly mixture (I believe it is called goober) b/c her brother bought it, did not like it, gave it to her & her DH, and they didn't like it. Strange people.
Why every radio station in my area keeps playing Fergalicious! That song is awful.
