I half-expected this article in The Onion to make a reference to the author being a creationist – as in “I don’t understand that evolution stuff. It must be wrong.” About the closest they came was, “And don’t even get me started on complex and sophisticated notions I can’t possibly wrap my head around… I don’t like it in our schools”.
You Know What’s Stupid? Everything I Don’t Understand
For far too long I’ve sat idly by, twiddling my thumbs and respecting the right of others to form thoughts and opinions independent of my own, and I can’t take it anymore. I’ve got to speak up about the many things that annoy me or I’m going to go crazy. Take these new credit cards with the microchips in them, for instance. Man, those things really get my goat—trying to improve a device that was working perfectly fine as it was. Even worse are those wrappers on CDs that take forever to open. But you know what I hate the most? The one thing that makes my blood boil whenever I see it? Anything beyond my mental capacity, that’s what.
God, all the people, places, and things I haven’t made the least bit of effort to comprehend should just die already.

It’s in my face every day, doing lots of things I don’t have an immediate desire to do and saying things I can’t identify with at this stage in my life. How lame is that? I mean, what kind of pathetic loser would actually enjoy something that’s so incredibly not among my personal preferences? Not me, that’s for sure.
