common sense

A mythical force that is supposed to bestow knowledge of the obvious. Unfortunately, humankind has proven, time and time again, that there is no such thing as common sense.

The People v. Common Sense:

Exhibit A-
Common sense should tell people that coffee is a hot drink, and that when spilling it, one should expect it to be hot. Common sense should also tell people that eating fatty foods makes you fat. Still, look at the recent pathetic excuses for "lawsuits" against some fast-food restaurants.

Exhibit B-
Common sense should tell people - even children - that TV shows such as "Power Rangers" are not reality. Two eleven-year-old boys, however, tried to re-enact a scene from the above-mentioned show by burying an eight-year-old boy alive in the ground, thinking he would grow back out. Duuuuh...I don't think it worked...oops!

Exhibit C-
Common sense should tell the Bush administration to take money from people who actually HAVE MONEY TO GIVE, but instead they choose to take it from people who do not have it.

I rest my case.

Crosstown Commons

An interchange between Interstate 35W and Minnesota State Highway 62 in Richfield, Minnesota. Traffic often backs up for several miles. Try to avoid this area in full but if you must enter it, DO IT BEFORE RUSH HOUR OR YOU WILL REGRET IT!

To bypass the crappy Crosstown Commons, use I-494 or local streets.

Common Sense

1) Something the general populous of Earth lacks.

2) The ability to discern what is right and what is wrong.

3) The ability to discern what is intelligent and what is stupid.

The blaming of obesity on fast-food restaurants and not on people who should know that fatty food makes you fat.

For the common good

A term used by communists and socialists to push their agenda, such as saying that the lockdown is "for the common good."

"I know they say the lockdown is for the common good, but how could it be for the common good if it kills the economy?

It is also not 'to save grandma,' because otherwise they would let her see visitors in the nursing home. 'For the common good' seems communist to me."
