I totally mean on the clock... I walk by and sometimes kick their desk if I don't like them,

Also you can be a gay republican hello Log Cabin Republicans? (American Dad)

I don't get how my friend quit her job and collects unemployment. You quit. When you quit working, don't you also quit getting a paycheck? And, not for nothing,but they were going to fire her because she sucked at her job. How dies one get paid for sucking and quitting? Oh and as for the gay republican thing, it's a shame that so many Republican candidates and politicians have made that a part of their platform. I don't agree with most Republican's stance on gay marriage, but not every Republican thinks that way. On the flip side, there are some democrats who do. There are sucky people in every political party.

On the religion note, I don't get the contradictory teachings. On one hand, you're taught God is a merciful being who dearly loves all His children, then five minutes later, you're told not to piss Him off because He's vengeful.

I cannot wrap my head around being afraid of someone who is supposed to love me.

Haha I get alot of glares. I am like "What? Sersiously you're sleeping why on earth are you glaring at me?"

dumdumfroggie · January 2012

I don't get why people use Foursquare or check in or whatever it's called to their own home. Seriously? Do you get to be the mayor of your own house? It's freaking annoying.

Perhaps that was more or an irrational irritation.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Things I do not get : Prioritization. Different things are important to different people.

<div>I can see that. Sadly though, I know people who pick their affiliation based on one thing (abortion, gay marriage, etc) and don't even bother to educate themselves on other issues. So I think that's really what I don't get more. But I do see what you're saying, for sure. </div><div>

<div>The pastor at the church I went to growing up once gave a sermon about how we tell kids "sex is dirty. Save it for someone you love." I don't remember details, but as a high schooler, I thought it was pretty cool that he was addressing sex at all, especially that contradiction.</div>

I'm a card carrying member of the Republican party and am also pro-choice, pro gay rights, and totally OK with people using food stamps to buy skittles. I'm sure a lot of people don't get that but who cares.

I do not get this ever. Cmon' does your car not have an ashtray? Do you think I want your butt back in my window? They start forest fires too. Okay, sorry, that one is close to home, back down off my soapbox. (I might have gotten a butt one time back in the window that burned my favorite fleece jacket.) Long story, fun day.

Birdie1483 · January 2012

I actually base my political affiliation on how much I dislike the other party's beliefs. Whichever one that I dislike less usually wins for me. But that's usually because I have stronger feelings towards issues that I disagree with than issues I am either indifferent or agree with.

Anna, I'm that way, too. I like to say "fiscally conservative, socially liberal". I am registered Republican and tend to vote Republican, but that is after I review each candidate's platform and decide which I like more (or least).
