I JUST DON'T GET IT
I just don't get why some parents spoil their children who do nothing to show they appreciate what their parents have had to sacrifice to get them the lavida loca.
I just don't get women who allow themselves to be abused by their so called men when they never saw such at home growing up. I just wonder what makes them resign to such degradation by another woman's child.
I just don't get people who live their lives to make other people happy(we do sometimes each succumb to this one) but i don't get the people who are comfortable with it.
I don't get the young generation (of which I am admittedly a part of) who don't appreciate their culture. I mean who are you if you cant appreciate your roots. I am not saying there is anything wrong with liking new stuff and moving with the times but give homage and respect to culture.
I just don't get men who claim to love their women and respect them and yet they go out to "buy" and also cheat with young girls who really have nothing on their wives, which really isn't within the point anyway.
I don't get people who are apologetic to people who have wronged them. I mean bitch you should be apologising to me not the other way around.
.......
Feel free to add anything you don't get

FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION

I do hope that one day Batswana will get over the aversion they have to people who ask the relevant and inquisitive questions to the people they have put in power. I have noticed that as a nation we find it wrong or too forward when someone asks and takes to task the decisions of the authorities and or government. I don't get why though as we claim to be a democratic country! When we vote and put people into government, we do so, so that they represent our interests and these people are answerable to us as the voters and as such we should ask them without fear why they make the decisions they do. I really appreciated a man who commented on Gabz fm this morning and said that ministers are our servants and answer to us since we put them in power. I also appreciated how the honourable minister Tshekedi Khama was being involved and not afraid to engage in an issue involving his ministry that is causing controversy in the country with regards to a pair of lions and how they got into the hands of another minister. If we as a nation don't inquire on how our national resources are used and disbursed then we stand to lose them to misuse and corruption. It is only through questioning that we could ensure that resources are being used appropriately and I implore on the other ministers not to shy away from issues but face them head on; this will illustrate to us the voters that they know what they are doing and make the right decisions in our interest not their own. The more a minister dodges the people the more we think they have something to hide. So ladies and gentlemen who have been elected into power please take note that you did not put yourself in that comfortable chair, we did  through our votes and if we want answers from you, you must provide them promptly without feeling like you are being bothered because that's what you are there for, US THE PEOPLE. We can just as easily vote you out. Thank you

SINGLETONS
I am fully convinced that there are just some people who for a while prefer not to date! I know if you are a guy the main assumption becomes that you are gay, which is not a bad thing(though that depends largely on how liberal you are) and if you are a girl it is assumed you are an emotional wreck. I think i am not one but for the life of me i dont have the inclination to be anybody's special anything. Its just about being at ease and in love with myself and not ye twilling to share that love but whatever the case may be i know i am happier now than i have ever been since starting to get into the dating thing. Unfortuantely this revelation came at the time of an attempted realtionship with a guy i like a lot but evidently not enough. I am glad i realised that i am not yet ready to share my love before it got any deeper and that i was able to be honest about it to myself(most inportantly) and to the guy i was with

#its not a bad thing to be alone, if you can be at ease and happy alone you should be able to hadle being with other people because then you will be assured of your identity.

UNIVERSITY STANDARDS
Let me just start by saying if you want to be taken serious you have to be seen to be serious. Now on this note I really think my University the University of Botswana being the only University of the country should really stop letting their students determine which "beat they dance to" in a manner of speaking. Students now are complaining that they are being given material fit only for an Oxford, Harvard graduate etc and they feel its not fair! Really now!? Sue me for making you competitive in the real market for jobs! And really if the University is going to say how high each time the students complain then I am afraid we will be leaving here with worthless degrees. I think the University needs to set its own standards of the quality and the complexity of the exams, tests they administer and if anyone cannot step up they should just ship out! Be aware that I am  saying this as a student. We need to up our game if we want to compete with the outer world, next thing we complain we cant find jobs and we claim not to know why! Mr Magang did say not so long ago that we are not producing quality workers in our higher level education and I think this is precisely why! Caving in each time students say a test was not fair yet all the material they were tested on they were taught! I think there is a huge difference between a test not being fair and failing because of that or failing because you did not put in the effort or that despite the effort you just did not understand in which case then you need to rethink your course choices.

LETTING GO

I think in any relationship that you have created, the wise thing to do and be is realize when its time to move on! If you are no longer happy with the way things are going and you no longer appreciate what the other party does for you in the relationship then its definitely time to kiss and say goodbye! I have to leave such a toxic relationship i have been having with alcoholic CIDERS. They leave me feeling extremely hungry but with nothing being agreeable to my stomach and I don't enjoy any of the sleep i get after having them for up to 2 days. So i am cutting my loses and letting it go because in the end its my money that gets wasted on something i don't even enjoy any more and which later makes me very sick.
It was a good few years we have had but its time to part ways and find new companions.
