Stupid shit that you can't understand still exists in this day and age

Wars. When I think about it, I can't seem to think of a single war where the aggressor actually profited from it in the long term. Seems pretty stupid to me.

Holistic medicine, psychics, mediums, tarot cards, acupuncture, SSRI antidepressants, anything that's supposed to rid your body of "toxins", ginkgo bilobo, etc.

You're thinking of Alternative Medicine.

In honour of this post, Randi exposing James Hydrick. One of the most awkward videos on youtube.

Edit - If someone could gif parts of this video - such as when Hydrick does his Gong Fu preparatory hand waving - the world would be a better place.

Awesome.

Maybe you're right. I could have sworn Holistic and Alternative medicine were connected somehow, but I'm not sure.

Racism...

How backwards can people be for hating a person for their bloody skin color?
I'm all fine for hating, but based on this sort of things... all I have to say is fuck you.

You?

Well fuck you to the persons following their racial stereotypes.
 
Fax Machines.
 
Violence towards others (First-world nations).

Seriously, we now live in an environment where our lives have never been better and we live the longest, yet people still squander the most rare and precious thing we have known as life over trivialities.

Honestly, I don't get it.
 
In addition to smoking that I said in an earlier post, I'd like to add one that I don't think GAF is ready to hear - Alcohol Consumption

This is definitely an "old people" thing, I try to get my mom to use a check-card or debt-card but she still walks around with her check-book.

I'm not a history buff or anything, but I can think of several in the distant past, which would probably be why we still do it. If you consider Germany as the aggressor of WW2, had they been allowed to proceed with their plans and not stopped by the allies, they probably would have profited from it.

Shoehorns

Now this is a really long shoehorn, but it's still a shoehorn.

Who the hell uses these things? I mean if you're having that much trouble putting on your shoe, seems like the shoe might be too small and you should try again with a different shoe.

:lol Shoehorns are used so you dont break and tear up the heel of expensive and nice shoes, typically dress shoes. I've never known a person to use a shoehorn on sneakers, thats just silly. But it makes perfect sense on expensive dress shoes/wingtips that you dont want to beat up from simply putting them on everyday.
 
:lol @monkeys.

Racism doesn't necessarily relate to hate. People can be racist without actually hating a race.

That said, I think I'm racist. I'm developing a pretty strong dislike for a particular culture and it's impacting on my ability to objectively see the people of that culture to the point where I think pretty poorly of that culture without really considering the circumstances.

Homophobia. It surprises me when I see normally rational and likeable people do a 180 when homosexuality is concerned.

No kidding... They act like they can catch it or something. I will never understand that phobia.
