I think there are two categories: common sense and book smarts.  Most are born with one of the two.  However my ex didn't have either so in "special" cases like his, you either got it or ya don't.

There is no such thing as common sense. It's a presumption that everything in the world is as it seems. The presumption of commom sense does not allow for any reality that has not been encountered by whatever group you identify with. \nThe most ignorant (and also controlling and intolerant) people are the ones who claim to have some.

No, but apparently you were born with the "common sense" gene.

Yes i have lost faith in the American education system by reading some of these questions. When i went to school during the mid 70s Thur the 80s they taught you how to spell and proper grammar.I do not know how some of these young kids make it through college, because they must write reports with proper spelling and grammar. Sigh, they are going to be our future leaders.

Darn good question!\nThere are plenty of people who knew then what they know now, and deliberately chose to ignore it.\nRashness, contempt, and even sometimes blithe ignorance are, unfortunately, the hallmarks of youth.\nRemember the wise words of Oscar Wilde: "Youth is wasted on the young."

sometimes smart people are just book smart and not street smart which is what most people call common sense. If you haven't read it in a book then you don't know how to solve it or do it. Make sense?

Damien, you have to admit that the level of education, as a whole, has been degraded. I was in retail management and noticed the change as far back as the mid 70's.  When Reagan was governor he did lower the curve out here to accomodate the slower learners. As an end result, we are now a nation of dittoheads, are too stupid to protest the most visible and blatant misuse of our federal government and the corruption of our voting rights.  \nOur young heroes are like lemmings, running out to attack a country who's biggest crime against America was having a leader who threatened to kill some richkids dad!  \nI am not impressed.

This should be a featured question. A lot of idiots here could learn something sensible.

It went out the window when people started having political parties tell them what to think.\n\nThe common sense this nation was built on was that there ARE multiple opinions to almost anything and you have to be open to them (not necessarily agree - but be open).\n\nThere has now been a trend by both parties that they are the only TRUE party of the US.  That THEY ALONE know how to keep us safe and free (THEY know even more than we do).\n\nSO, since no party can have all the answers all the time, the minute they started acting like it - and some of their members spout it off as party rhetoric without thinking for themselves - they started acting soooo "stupid".
