Traditional: Traditional logic that will lead you and everyone else to the same conclusion and action

Politically: Involves preaching on graves and shoving dead children in your face to get their political policy to get passed. Traditional common sense is thrown out the window in favor of irrational emotional appeal

1) The sense of logical reasoning and problem solving skills as applied to practical situations that all inteligent beings should and usually do have. Whether they actually use it is another issue.

2)A pamphlet written by none other than Thomas Paine prior to the American Revolution. It railed against British policies in it's colonies, and got many colonists (the intelligent and/or educated ones who could read, anyway) to question British rule of America. This, of course, was yet another paving stone on the road to revolution and the creation of the United States of America as we know it today.
1) "You don't need education to know that's stupid... just use your common sense."

2) The man read Common Sense by Thomas Paine. Then, he decided to go burn his stamps and not buy any more British tea.

bunch of bullshit, used to support all sorts of bullshit, bigotry and hate (anti-gay, anti-black rights, women's rights over history). It deals with social skills (know when to talk, when to shut up, how to have fun (but not act like a fool), how to walk, how to talk, etc. Just bullshit.

The thing that humanity needs in order to survive. Instead, we have certain people with no common sense (Logan/Jake Paul, Lil Tay, and many other human beings). To put it in simple words, it is a power that could save humanity yet no one has it.
