Where oh where has common sense gone, oh where oh where could it be? It’s a thing of the past or it seems to be, oh where oh where could it be? Our grandparents (if your grandparents are 80 and over) seemed to have an abundant supply. Nowadays seems like it is practically extinct. Take for example people who absolutely must take their poor dogs out to walk around town on days when temperatures are high—it’s too hot for your dog and you are burning the soft pads under its paws. The poor animal cannot tell you “Hey you fucking moron the pads of my paws are fucking burning.” You walk around town on black top, concrete or even boardwalks when it’s sunny and 30 degrees with no shoes on and see how many SECONDS you can stand it. Come on people.
How about teaching your children some basics, like if it’s not yours don’t take it, or if you turn it on, turn it off, or if you make a mess, clean it up. How about teaching the future to say excuse me, pardon me or thank you? Too much to ask? Come on, people.
How about waiting until you can take care of yourself before you start popping out baby after baby and your own navel isn’t even dry yet. Come on, people.
How about finding out what the bottom is like in an unfamiliar lake, river, etc, before diving in head first? Come on, people.
The list goes on and on. We could get chronic neck pain from shaking our heads at the stupidity that seems to be the norm. We are in for a bumpy ride I’m afraid. No more using grey matter. Come on, people. —Common Sense People, It Works!

Common Sense = Common Oxymoron.
Depressing, but true

agreed pilgrim, that’s why there are warning signs for everything. like tim mcnutt says “stupid should be painful”
Amen brah!
Common Sense isn’t very common..
^ Boy I’ll say!
How would you know if your grandparents had common sense? Were you around for the duration of their lives? People made shitty decisions in the past, too. Stop romanticising “simpler times”.
this is a good, quick drinking game for this evening.
Read this bitch and have a shot ready…
every time you read
“Come on, people”
batten one down the hatch (and take the time to re-pour so you’re not snockered in 5 minutes)
you may not want to speed read though… take your time.
Poster: Shut the fuck up and let these people live their lives and make their own mistakes. You know what the Dali Lama said was the biggest shortcoming of his life? NOT MAKING ENOUGH MISTAKES. Your just a bitch or an asshole who imagines him or herself while talking as if your superior. Shut the fuck up.
Oops missed the dog paw part OK I definitely agree with this post now:)
funny thing, what actual reading does for comprehension, isn’t it?
No I was actually making fun of my earlier outbursts.
There’s making mistakes and then there is being just plain ignorant/stupid. It’s called COMMON SENSE for a reason, meaning that, all things being equal, it should be a reasonable, implied, common and sensible thought process among a group of people/society. “Mistake” implies that it was accidental or not intentional or a poor decision based on incomplete information. That’s not what we’re talking about here.
I.E. Don’t walk out into traffic. That’s common sense to most of us, but how many times do we hear of people pushing the walk button, (if there is one and IF they are even using a cross walk, that is), and expecting to be protected from cars by some invisible barrier? No situational awareness, totally oblivious to their surroundings and lost in their own little world. That’s not a mistake, in my books. That’s stupidity.
Another: How many times have you gone into a public bathroom only to find some knuckle dragging mouth breather has smeared his nose candy all over the fucking walls? You mean to tell me that THAT is a mistake? “Oppsie! I mistakenly wiped my snot on the wall.” No. Nuh-uh. THAT takes conscious thought. Some fucking pig had to consciously decide that it was better/easier to wipe his boogers on the wall then to, say, tear a piece of ass wipe off the 500 ft. roll sitting on the wall next to him and blow his fucking nose. That’s not a mistake, that’s blatant ignorance, (not to mention, disgusting).
Mistakes happen. I get it. It’s human nature and nobody is perfect. But we’re not talking about that. We’re talking about stupid/rude/self-entitled/addle-brained people that either don’t know how or don’t CARE to know how to use their head for something more than just a place to put their hat.
Common sense goes hand-in-hand with common courtesy and I’m sorry to say, I’m seeing less and less of both, these days.

Statistically, the majority of teen pregnancies are with teen mothers and much older adult fathers, usually men in their late 20’s or even 30’s. It’s not talked about much, but it really should be.
OOOO, ain’t you a caution!
Sorry chaps, but for some reason I’m in my Brit mode this morning.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
i’m loving it, monsieur
