Common sense? WHATCHU MEAN COMMON SENSE?!
It's nice knowing when to do something, and when not to do it. Common sense is an amazing thing, and should definitely not be taken for granted. For example, say some kid you know recently had a child, and that child is sick. Someone without common sense, may approach this person, and offer up a dead baby joke. Now, let's think about the repercussions of that. First, the person who you told the joke, will see you as a witless wonder. They won't take you seriously, because you can't take their child being sick seriously. Secondly, how could you of possibly thought that was a good idea?! Lacking common sense, is like lacking any tact! Embrace the fact that you know appropriate times for certain things, and can fucntion like a regular human being. ENJOY IT! I am literally typing a mile a minute, and now I'm gonna rant. Rant on what, you may ask? Nothing. I plan to rant on nothing? Close to two hundred words already? Well, what do you know. I'm out!

I agree it is nice knowing something and when to do it or not. It is amazing how some people just don't have it. No common sense. It's like he/she just don't get it. I think also common sense is working hard getting things done on time, your common sense monkey would tell you why did I do that or say that.

Think that some;s it up. Sometimes a person just don't get it and lacks seeing things the way they are. So I will leave you with this us some common sense, get your essay dome on time and not the night before.
I’d like to believe that someone wouldn’t actually do that to a friend. I mean how could you tell a dead baby joke to someone with a sick child. Unfortunately, people can really lack common sense sometimes. Personally I think that Common Sense is a dying art. I wish that you could teach common sense to people because there are a lot of people I know that would be a lot better off if they had some more of it. Anyways completely agree with you and Robert about this. People need to learn what to say and when to day it.

Unfortunately some people just don't get it, I recently had a friend say a joke along those lines about our coworkers mom being in the hospital and so forth. Then his mom ended up passing away,she felt horrible. Like you said why would they think they could say it in the first place? Lack of common sense or just stupidity lol I'm not quite sure.
