People With No Common Sense
(can be good people but they do stuff...)
Im afraid to tell you, some of the people I know have no
"common sense"..they act impulsively without realizing the
ramifications that would follow immediately...
I just have to shake my head when they do things, sometimes it
involves me inadvertently..as Im sure most of us know people
like that and to a certain degree we are affected by their actions...
What does the Wikipedia say defining Common Sense?
Common sense, based on a strict construction of the term,
consists of what people in common would agree on: that which
they "sense" as their common natural understanding. Some
people (such as the authors of Merriam-Webster Online) use the
phrase to refer to beliefs or propositions that in their
opinion most people would consider prudent and of sound
judgment, without reliance on esoteric knowledge or study or
research, but based upon what they see as knowledge held by
people "in common". Thus "common sense" (in this view) equates
to the knowledge and experience which most people already have,
or which the person using the term believes that they do or
should have. However this is not the common dictionary
definition. The most common meaning to the phrase is good
sense and sound judgement in practical matters. It has nothing
to do with what other people may think or feel.
Now, it is interesting that in 1776, Thomas Paine wrote a
pamplet called "Common Sense"...
but it had to do with the reasoning of why we should(at that
time) be free from British rule...
We all occasionaly do dumb stuff, but most of us refrain from
certain actions that would have an immediate consequence, cause
we recognize it. Example: flipping off a policeman? Does that
have immediate ramifications?
Do you know of anyone who does really dumb stuff, often, and it
outrages you because anyone with a lick of sense would know
"not" to do something without knowing the immediate
ramifications..Im not talking about anger(and even that
needs a great deal of reasoning and restraint, but who hasnt
acted out of anger at times)
These people do these things because it is something they
"Have to do"...
Yeah....I feel there is truly a disconnect in their brain,
whereby all reasoning goes out the window and is over ridden
by the strong desire or the need to "Act out"
THEN....after awhile it "dawns" upon them it was not a good
idea, possibly after it is pointed out by others(quite often immediately)
that they shouldnt have done that...????

Tv news as gospel
I am sick of the local news playing in our home, and blaring out "advice", as my
sifgnificant other sits and comments on every little story
and somehow, it pertains to us......
Our local TV news in Southern Californa has decided that their job
is to blurt out constant tips, expert opinions on every little thing in life,
and should be followed to the "T".
Tips about food, mental heath, bowel movements, relationships,
and everything else imaginable. The public needs to "Take heed" to their every
suggestion, or at least my gf thinks so....
...not only that, but all of the "other" shows on the air..."Dr, Phil, Dr. Joe, and
Dr. whoever..."The Doctors"(find out what current illness you have today,tomorrow it
will be something else)....
As my friend Penny had told me, she would read a medical book on some malady, and
was sure she had the disease..
Im wonderng if all of this stuff doesnt do more harm than good....
Just "one reporters opinion" (me) as George Putnam used to say.

Mis-pronounciation of words
Mis-pronounciation of words
I love this when I hear it, because, well, for one... most people
I speak with know the words, and pronounce them correctly, so when my
ear catches a variation, I am pleased(and amused)
I also enjoy reading posts on web sites of peopole from other countries
trying to speak english..
its kind of like decyphering code. I'm sure if I were attempting to
speak another language I would be just as bad, if not worse..
We'll begin by examining a few words spoken by cohorts or aquaintences..
at the top of my list is"//'
this fleck of food that got into my keyboard,,what the..get outta dere...
thank you..ahh yes, now it works again..!!!!
"Reburished" well, this person uses it as the word for Refurbished
"Decrepitated" i think this person meant Decreped
Another form of creativity occurs when a person is trying to describe
a silliness of behavior, or a word of distainment over another
"you're just a "humbum" (bum, i guess)
yet another person makes up their own phrases..they told me you've got
an "8 dollar mind"...lol (I guess they think I'm cheap)
On the internet chat line one time a person called me a "bogan"...
Somehow, I rubbed them the wrong way...Bogan? what the hell is that..
it turns out in Australia, a bogan is a ner'do well or an indiginent
bum..THen yet another chatter in the room who heard the exchange later
gave me the "rundown" on similar words in different countries..
I wonder how he knew about all of this (perhaps hes a world traveler)
They aRe:
scally or pikey (England ), ned (Scotland ), scanger and spide (Ireland ), tokkie (Holland ),
Proll (Germany ) and white trash , redneck , hick , or hillbilly
(North America ).etc...
phew!
Another associated word play, (really thought process)I enjoy is when
I am asked certain questions
like: Where is your soul located? I told this one person that my soul
was located behind my bellybutton :)
As I said earlier, I enjoy reading posts from other countries..where they speak a bit of english...
Here's an example..
Hello everyone!
I share with you and will know if Sting concerts in this year 2010,
from May onward .. sure that is the interest of many! .. a fond farewell
A very charming post...well intended, and I dechypered it just fine...
