I get how people don't learn but it always makes me do a doubletake when I meet people who can't swim. I realize it's not really fair to think this though since I grew up 10 minutes from the beach and had a pool in my backyard

True, but still you didnt have to go to the beach.

And for kids and teens without pools there is never a moment where they have to go to the pool

TIL having fun means you're an immature person.

Those people want childless millennials to never enjoy life and be as miserable as a
Married couple having NO good hobbies

I would punch that lady in the face and abuse her daily if she was my wife lol

Who said that married people and people with kids don't have fun, or lack hobbies?

The idiots who think that you have to be married with kids to enjoy Disney?

Lol at people on this board acting like not knowing how to swim or ride a bike renders you as a useless individual of society.

I just learned how to ride a bike last year, and I still have no clue how to swim. Sorry Im not as privileged as you white people in this country and can spend $100 on swimming lessons

This.

There is NEVER a situation in childhood or teen years that you are put into that you have to learn to ride a bike or swim

Ever. No one here can name a time.

Its all optional activities, I just did the main quest and skipped the extra fluff

And why does it matter?

nobody said "it mattered", thats all you. Don't assume I'm making arguments that I'm not. I don't understand why thats such a popular thing to do around here

You did too. You said its weird which doesnt matter cause who cares. We cant think of one reason WHY its weird and why it affects anyone ever

People who care are never worty talking to or being friends with if they care too much. They need to get over it that lots of people never touch a bike or go to a pool beach in the entire life!

And I never will! I dont need to go to a pool or beach ever and never ride a bike ever!

3DS FC: 4554-0309-4782

nope! That's a weird thing to be afraid of. especially since you and I can't name one instance where that would be something I would face. ever.

3DS FC: 4554-0309-4782

Don't need to be afraid, since I will never need to go to a body of water in my life.

its kinda sad if you're an adult who cant swim

its like those delinquents who thought it was cool to skip class etc and ended up not knowing how to read or write as an adult

Not quite

Reading and writing are necessities for everyday life. Swimming is not

That doesnt make it any less weird to not know how to swim. Its like not knowing how to ride a bike or drive a car. Sure you can survive without knowing, but its weird. And sad.

name ONE reason why it's sad? you can't.

In every scenario where its also sad to not know how to ride a bike

What scenarios are those? You and I can't think of any!

And riding a bike is also NEVER necessary or required at any point in life that we can think of. ever.

So? It's still something everyone knows how to do and the rare exceptions are weird.

Why is it weird though? And why does it matter?

It doesn't. And you and I can't think of a reason it would affect anyone

Humans are social creatures. Do people really talk about "fitting in" past age 18 though? Never seen or heard anyone past that age talk about that lol. By that age you (should) know right and wrong, and the types of people you mesh with and don't mesh with.

Some do, ones that worry about what they say in public or worry that their likes and dislikes would cause other people not to like them

I don't. There are 95% of people who won't like me due to my natural character! The good thing is knowing that and being happy. But some haven't matured yet to that state.

It does actually

Because if you're not interested in going into pools or water parks then who gives a fuck. You should find things that are actually important in day-to-day life to feel superior about

It will probably come up in conversation at some point and then everyone will be like "wtf? How could they not know how to swim lmao"

so? Only a freak would care

If they think negatively, then don't be friends with them? There are 6 billion people in the world. I'll be like "Uhh...I HATE beaches, pools and lake and outdoors! I like video games and anime FO LIFE!"

Pretty fucking sure swimming is normal. Not knowingbis what's weird

You said its essential in Florida

Florida is still a land based state. You walk around on land and dont need to swim to go to the grocery, go out to eat, buy things, etc

Imagine this scenario TC

You are on a plane, and the engine blows. You grab a parachute but struggle to get both arms in, the ground is getting closer, finally, in a last effort, you get your arm in, pull the chute, and with 2 seconds to spare, it opens and it spares you from fatal impact.

BUT YOU SNAG A TREE! Luckily there is water underneath you about 20 feet down. The branch begins to snap and you realize the waters underneath you are rapids. AND THERES A WATERFALL!

You plunge into the water, bumping rocks along the way and wash 30 feet down into rocky waters. You float down river as you come to, somehow surviving this entire ordeal.

But OH NO! the water is 6 foot deep and you are only 5 foot 10! You drown to death because you don't know how to swim.

Too bad that will never happen

I believe in ghosts, they do exist which a lot of people agree with

For those that don't, what makes you think they DONT exist.....??

Arent you a christian?

The bible states that ghosts do not exist

lol no I'm not a christian, not every american is!

if you follow any abrahamic religion or are irreligious you have no reason to believe in ghosts. the only people with an excuse are followers of some of the eastern religions like shinto or whatever

religion has nothing to do with it

I should take you to some haunted places.

You should go ghost hunting.

explain to me how or why ghosts could or would exist from a non religious perspective

Because they haunt things and fly around and shit.

Religion has literally no impact

Its dead spirits, DUH!
