People are Confusing Me...

In general, I have decided that people are just confusing..in short, I don't understand why some people make the decisions that they do. Here are some reasons why:

1. A year or so ago a man in Ohio shot and killed a kid who was walking across his lawn. Why? Because he was walking across his lawn. Uhhh...okay. Sure, the kid was labeled as a punk who was a smartass, and the guy had asked him a couple of times to not walk on his lawn, but the kids did it anyway. So, instead of calling to police, filing another complaint, etc., he went inside, got a gun and killed the kid. He then called the police to admit that he killed the kid. Crazy.
2. Roy Pearson is asking a judge to rethink and/or clarify her ruling that he shouldn't get 54 million dollars because a dry cleaner lost his pants--What made this guy think that he could get that much money just because the sign said "satisfaction guaranteed?" I'm sure other people have been less than pleased with service and have decided to go about their business, or maybe they asked to be reimbursed for what was lost or ruined--but no one asks for 54 MILLION dollars because someone lost pants. Unless they were worn by Elvis and adorned with diamonds and lots of gold lame, no pants are worth that much money.
3. Remember the woman who sued McDonald's because she burned herself on HOT coffee? Now McDonald's (and every other place that serves hot beverages) has to tell everyone "be careful, it's hot." Duh. And if it were cold, people would complain (and probably try to sue for 54 million dollars...or does that just apply to pants?)
4. In Cleveland a group of 20 somethings were setting off fireworks (since it was the Fourth of July). Their neighbor (a firefighter) asked them to hold it down and the kids refused. Now, nearly all types of fireworks are illegal in Ohio, so the guy should have called the police, waited for them to take care of it and gone off to bed. Simple, right? Wrong. Instead, the guy goes into his house, gets a gun and open fires on the kids. He killed three of them, went back into his house and sat at his table until the police got there. Logic? None. Craziness? Plenty.

There are plenty more, but I am having blogger's block or something. I'm sure I could come up with something witty about the fact Paris Hilton getting out of jail was hot news (why???) or that professional athletes make more than the President (???), or that more people recognized Sanjaya from American Idol than the presidential candidates.

So, people confuse me...I will never understand why some people do what they do or say what they say. Maybe it's better that way...
