List things you'll never understand

It's only a fairy tale from a non-believers point of view. the rest of us, which is roughly 80+ percent of the planet, know the truth. God exists

How people can be this stupid:

*The gun culture in the US. Living in a country where guns in general are illegal and legal gun ownership is very difficult, I can't comprehend the idea of it being normal to just be able to buy a gun. But I guess that's just a difference in culture and what you're used to.
*One more thing about the US, the extreme obsession with politics. It seems everything revolves around politics and the party someone supports. It's almost as if you pledge alliegance to a party and if you're not supporting the same party you're immediately an enemy. People defend everything their party says even when they don't agree with certain things. And people bring up politics in almost every conversation, even when it's not really related to politics or at least shouldn't be related, like science f.e. climate change. Actually the idea of only 2 main parties seems weird to me, but just like the first point that probably depends on what your used to.
*People who believe in the most ridiculous conspiracy theories that can clearly be disproven.
*People who can only watch a movie once and don't like to rewatch them, even with movies you love.
*People hating things (f.e. certain music or movie genres) without ever actually listening to it or watching it.
*Franchise rivalry, especially Marvel and DC. It's basically the same as the politics point, but here it's even worse. Sometimes the arguments between Marvel and DC fans ruin the fun vibe and hype surrounding a superhero movie for me.
*Not so much something I don't understand, but imagining living in a country without universal healthcare sounds scary. If something serious happens to you your survival basically depends on how much money you have.
*School uniforms
*Why I'm never able to sleep when I need to in the evening and I can't stay awake when I need to pay attention in the morning.
*2001: A Space Odyssey. But I guess that's kinda the point.
*Obsession with wrestling. I love almost every sport, but wrestling is the one sport I don't enjoy watching at all.
*The fact that Stanley Kubrick and Alfred Hitchcock both haven't won an Oscar.
*That it took Roger Deakins a bazillion times before finally winning best cinematography.
*The existence of The Emoji Movie.
*People who are afraid of flying. I know people in my family who are, but I personally love flying and the idea of being in a plane.
*The fact that sigarettes, which kill so many people per year, are still legal while many other drugs are illegal. I'd broaden it to the appeal of drugs in general. I've never felt the need to use drugs in the slightest.
*People who don't like Chinese and/or Japanese food. That's the best thing in the world (Italian and Mexican food is also amazing).

A little late then I guess, but happy birthday. I've never used a gun myself, but it sounds like something that could be fun to do on a gun range.

Things I don't understand:

- Donald Trump being elected President and that many people like him. Ever since his campaign trail, I never understood how any reasonable person could look at this imbecile and think he's presidential material. He makes me miss George W. Bush!

- Extreme gun nuts. I have no problem with those who wish to own guns, go hunting and attend shooting ranges, but I still feel there should be restrictions and control for those trying to buy them. I wish to live in a world where I don't have to worry for the lives of my family, friends and fellow citizens just because some nutcase feels he's having a bad day.

- People who bash all of hip-hop music for being sexist, violent garbage with no musical talent. If you don't like the genre fine, but to make such a generalization is ignorant. There's a lot of hip-hop that isn't like that at all and many rappers believe it or not are musically trained and can play instruments. The art of rapping is also harder than it looks and takes an amount of skill.

There's a lot of sexism and violent content in hard rock/heavy metal music, but I won't dismiss all of those genres just because certain artists revel in it.

- Snobby posters in film forums who bash on popular movies/bands/books just to feel "different" and "edgy"

- Racists/sexists/homophobes

- People who talk about how they hate 'political correctness', then use it as an excuse to bully/insult others based on their ethnicity, gender, orientation, religious beliefs, etc.

- People who don't have a desire to see a film based off its genre.
- People who boycott films because of the sin of a actor/producer etc... (Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey etc...)
- People who don't like films in general (I cannot comprehend how some people just don't care for films at all.)
- How people often don't like others based on their political views.
- How people take politics so fucking personally.
- How people sleep on their back. I've never been able to do it. I've always only been able to sleep on my stomach.
- Celebrity worship, and obsession.
- People who feel the need to control how other (law abiding) people live their lives by imposing their moral code on them. And this is coming from someone who's a Catholic and conservative politically.
- In relation to the previous one, there is one exception and that's on the subject of abortion (I hate bringing this up because it's such a touchy subject here in the states, people who rip you to shreds over it. Or at least where I live which is a top contender for the most liberal city in perhaps the most liberal state). I've never understood how people justify abortion as it's just outright evil.
- How people are okay with being late to things. I always am early to everything I attend.
- Kinda going off how people take politics personally, people who get offended by things that don't perfectly match exactly what their thoughts are at that exact moment. Or just people who get offended in general.
- Wes Anderson
- Modern art
- Why American football is so popular.
- How we don't have more fantasy movies out there. Seriously, there's LOTR, Pan's Labyrinth and maybe a few others? But that's it. It's my favorite genre, I want more of it.
- Snapchat. I mean, I have sc and I use it pretty much everyday. But I don't understand why people feel the need to snap every damn thing. Most kids my age have like a 700,000 snap score, or some ridiculously high number like that.
- The amount of luck it took for me to exist. Just insane when you think about it.
- Fanbase wars between the MCU and DCEU. 

That was the first thing that came to my mind when I opened the thread. Why do so many people who don't have any stake in it feel so excited at the prospect of movie A beating movie B in the domestic box office or on opening weekend numbers or in any other metric? Message boards for any high-profile movie are filled with such discussions. If you were not involved in the making of the movie, why do you care?

I see you don't understand life nor people also
