It frustrates me to no end when I go to load up a website, only to have it automatically direct me to the mobile (aka, gimped) version. Can anyone tell someone with virtually no web design knowledge why some sites force you to use the mobile version and if there is a way to get around this?

It's forced on people because of bad design. As for getting around it, the only real way I know is to change your browsers ID string. Android and QNX/BB10 based phones have 3rd party browsers with this ability and I'm sure the iPhone does as well.
