Common sense has flown out the window without wings.
"What are the lyrics to this song by i don't know who."?
"What is the square footage of all the paved streets in San Francisco."?
"Do you like my avatar"?
"How long does it take to fly from Houston to Australia"?
"My boyfriend is cheating on me, should we use a condom?"
"What time is it where you are"?

There is no common sense in the United States. Look around you, all you see is fat people everywhere. They need to get a life and stop going to these fast food joints and start eating healthy.

Eat raw fruits and vegetables and make damn sure they are
ORGANIC. This would be a first step toward helping mankind.

In my 35 years of world travel, I have noticed that a good majority of the earths people have no "common sense", 60-75%. I just sit back and laugh at them.



And the guy above me is one of them, fat is not a matter of common sense. Wake up.

Americans are void of common sense. Look at all the fat lazy peeps at Mcdonalds supersizing everything.
