Usually you do not have enough room in your mouth and they mess up your other teeth. They can be pulled out if they have already come in. Alot of times they do not fully come in, so they have to be cut out.

If you want the scientific reason, cultural diets influences evolutionary modules and the jaw size decreases while the number of teeth remain the same. A large jaw with more molars is needed for vegetation, but with western societies, more meat and fatty products are consumed, leading to a smaller jaw?

Because, quite often, when they grow in they come in sideways, rather than up or down. This causes them to push the other teeth forward, which would completely undo any orthodontist work from the past and put your mouth in a great deal of pain.

It doesn't always happen. I'm 27 and I have all 4 of my wisdom teeth.
The most common reason to have them removed is because they impact other teeth or they don't come up straight.
Wikipedia has a great article about wisdom teeth: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wisdom_teeth
Good luck!

They don't have to be, only if they are below the gum line. Some times only half the tooth is above the gum line, so they have to cut for the rest of it. Mine were not cut out they were all the way in and out as the case my be.

They typically grow in crooked and will push your other teeth out of alignment.
