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.

Facebook Sense of Entitlement Delusion

A user of Facebook who becomes irrationally irritated when certain details of one of their Facebook Friend's accounts is not visible to them. Often a bizarre, almost arrogant sense of self-entitlement leads from at first a general feeling of being perturbed, to an outright delusional belief in the their right to have access to whatever information they want. This is often an affliction of Facebook users who have not yet come to terms with the fact that privacy settings are in fact a personal prerogative, not an obligation. It is also usually coupled with the arrogant belief that everyone should use Facebook the way they do, usually for the self-promoting purposes they are comfortable with, as though different peoples' preferences and reasons for using social networking are irrelevant. The delusion is itself not often a problem, but if the delusion persists, it can manifest in aggressive behaviour, harassment, and unexpected general rudeness.
Katie got so mad at me, and sent me a really rude blunt message when she found out she couldn't write on my stupid Facebook wall! I hardly know her ... who does she think she is? I think she has Facebook Sense of Entitlement Delusion or something.
