Simple logic. Something that liberals, Communists, Socialists, and most teenagers lack.
Do not stick your penis in the oven.
Do not let psychotic dictators attack you before you remove them from power.
Do not steal from people who earned their money and give it to people who didn't.

1. "Common sense" is something that is no longer "common"; it may have been bred out by rednecks, white supremacists, haters, or plain old "common folk". Maybe it is just ignored as an attempted stand against authority, maybe it is a product of anti-evolution, an anti-sensible change brought about by genetically inept breeding.
EX: Lacking common sense is exemplified by kids run around with sharp scissors or knives, walk in the middle of the road and FULLY EXPECT you to move out of their way - as if the sidewalk needs to be defined on this site before they can figure out that it is to be used by them, and that VEHICLES use the road, stupid parents that don't care, and don't care to know where their kids are lack common sense, drinking and driving. buzz driving, playing Russian Roulette, acceptance of Ebonics as a dialect or urban language is due to a lack of common sense by those who decided it was easier to give up than to teach their students properly, etc... The list goes on and on...

EX 2: It used to be common sense to do a courtesy flush but now when you walk into a bathroom stall (stall) you can't even breath b/c some iggit dropped a bomb sized turd into the toilette and did not flush it. Common sense is something that used to be prevalent in society, as a whole, but through time has diminished greatly for whatever reason.

EX 3: A great example of the lack of common sense is some person looking this definition up as "common cents", as I have heard it referred to, and ironically, I have seen it spelled that way.

"There is a chalk outline being drawn around common sense, and most people cannot even identify the victim."
-Dennis Miller
Lackers of common sense: liberals, teachers unions, communists, socialists, 99.8% of Hollywood, those who suscribe to the National Enquierer, the Media, 9/10ths of Junior High School children, people arrested for trespassing, 3/4ths of people on the road, the postal system, the people who's stunts actually manage to get the words "Don't put genitles in hose" on vaccum cleaners, liberal arts and philosophy majors, 100% of the government, those who dine on puffer fish, judges who actually take cases for morons who burn themselves on coffee and sue the resteraunt, the jury who accqutted OJ, those who wrapped their homes in duct-tape post 9/11, high school dropouts, people who use the rhythm method, people who attempted to masturbate with a freshly baked pie, anybody that went to see a Tom Green movie, those who order a diet coke with supersize burgers and fries, and finally, those who think John Kerry can win in November.

Something nobody has these days, common sense means to state the obvious
for example, when the sky is gray common sense it’s going to rain or..
when you first get in the water at a pool, common sense it’s going to be cold.
Person 1: ugh! why is the water so coldd! 🥶
Person 2: it’s common sense it will be cold when you get in.

I still don't know why in English it's called "common" sense, apparently some guy was optimist while calling it that. In my tongue (Italian) it's known as "good" sense.

Anyway, it's the ability to understand things that "are obvious" only to people WITH common sense. This sense is not that "common", look at how many people vote liberal, are communists despite what happened to Russia, and so on. The list is long folks...

Not to be confounded with "intelligence" aka I.Q. A scientists probably doesn't know what the FUCK is going on next door to him and if he sees a green light across a street full of cars he starts crossing.

Common sense alone, when spoken out loud makes people who lack common sense idiots, because for a moment they realize how stupid they really are. "You probably shouldn't have bought that many weed to sell in the street, now the cops busted you". "If you didn't get in the car so drunk you wouldn't have had the crash". And so on.

When people lack common sense they start a process of saying bullshit one after another and will go on forever because they lack insight (this "common sense"). This is known as "philosophy", or as getting out of college to become a musician of some sort and being proud of "not caring about money". When having common sense, little or no thinking ahead are required. You just do what you have to do, what you see is right. If something falls, you pick it up. If there's a problem, you solve it. If something doesn't work, you don't use it ever again.

The whole umanity could be divided between people who have "common sense" and people who don't. They develop in opposites directions, do things the other half thinks it's "stupid".

In my experience common sense is NOT a present from experience or even external influence. Sure it gets better with time, but I've seen too many morons with a decade of moron experience and they still don't get it. Either you're born with it or you're not. Good nice people have communist children. How sad. Go figure...

And common sense does NOT have colours or a fixed ideology. You normally would thing it's a right-conservative thing but I wouldn't have voted retarded bush for the second time. It simply is the right thing to do. Period.

Heavily suggested book: the Art of War by Sun Tzu.
A guy who for many years keeps throwing away his whole salary in less than a week to do lines then has to get dumped by a stupid bitch he calls "girlfriend" to realize what was going on.

Being 23 and still criticizing "capitalism as it exploits the poor".

Any stupid dumbass woman who thinks I ever loved her when she couldn't realize I fucking HATE ignorant people.

People who do heroin.

And so much many more people lacking common sense...

It's sad that some people are so incredibly stupid that they reinact shit like that.
