Stuff you don't get.

[Amake]

Mob mentality is hard to understand unless you are a mob. Get 1000 people together and one of them is likely to do something stupid, and it easily escalates from there as people tend to feel they can absolve themselves of responsibility when they just do things they see someone else doing.

That's also a gland related issue. Those things happen when your body grows older. You just got to accept it. Think of it as practice for when you get really old and your bladder starts doing things all on its own.

Golf.

A lot of sports have grown from formalized rituals that have lost all meaning over the ages. To put it in perspective golf makes more sense than, say, royalty, or the concept of countries.

Drugs.

That's a little complicated. All known drugs have their own individual reasons to be illegal or not. Alcoholic beverages are permitted because they've been used regularly by large amounts of people since before civilization as we know it began, while for instance LSD is illegal mostly because Terence McKenna had a few too many groovy parties financed by schools. These laws stay unchanged for so long probably because it comforts parents to think their children don't get up to the same fun they did when they were young.

I'd theorize that generally psychedelic drugs are illegalized because the establishment fears an enlightened population challenging the state of affairs, and downers and relaxants are illegalized because it makes people less productive. Alcohol is the exception to the rule obviously, but notice that it's always more acceptable to drink in the evening, on weekends and on festive occasions, in other words when you're not working. Stimulants meanwhile are generally encouraged as they let you work harder; coffee and tobacco is practically required in most workplaces and while they are nominally illegal, stimulants tend to carry milder punishments for use and possession than the other two.
