People With No Common Sense

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...????
