Common Sense

Major blogs I have visited have this wide spread array of topics ; believe me i have even been through blogs having discussions related to particle and astro physics . Though love/girls seems to be the most wide spread topic of all, my dear choke has certainly gone a step forward with his ideology over intercourse. Well my dish for the day is common sense. Two words carelessly tossed around having a subtle inner meaning which i think many people just fail to understand.
What exactly is Common Sense. We say a lot of people lack common sense. But what exactly do we mean by that ?
I've heard of this saying quite a number of times "Common Sense is the most uncommon thing among common people". My dad has re-iterated this phrase quite a number of times every time i go about my screwing business. Seems my common sense has tendencies of a government official, it goes on vacation quite often. And whenever my screwups are complete and I pause to look with satisfaction ....Bingo !!!! Common Sense is back with a bang with these words flashing in my mind " Man ...What have you done !!! " As damage control proceeds common sense works overtime . Finally when matters are settled , a tired common sense goes on a well deserved vacation and wham!!! .....screwing back in business .
So what exactly is common sense ? A subconscious feeling which tells you the difference between right or wrong ? Is it inculcated within or it can be imparted as a teaching sermon? And why the hell does it go on a vacation ??? ideas anyone ?

very very interesting topic man...btw,it reminds me of the quote...just a word play with the one your dad says...common sense is not so common ...

Well, common sense is an adjective, and hence is a relative concept. For a physicist, knowing all the laws given in Resnick-Halliday(6th ed., including topics from the extended chapters' version...hehehe) is common sense. In a crisis situation, common sense means the obvious response, assuming you lose your cool, otherwise you'd be a stud or a successful NDA candidate(they are synonyms anyway).

So, basically what I think is that common sense is supposed to be a reflection of the average intellect of the surroundings you are in.
