Do No Harm

yeh, i was chatting to him earlier about it. bit expensive, but if i can get him to throw in nicola as well, no brainer.

 

Quite; it is what the rest of us call "common sense".

 

A toast to common sense

If you want to see the gap between the House of Lords and reality for yourself, then just look at their champagne budget - Comment - Voices - The Independent

 

Is "common sense" not acquired through applying reason and logic to experience to achieve knowledge and understanding ?

 

Not if you're pissed at the tax payer's expense ...

 

Pete what would be your definition of common sense? And if no such thing exists how would you define the common conscience of society?

 

If this (and other forums) has taught me anything, it's that there is no such animal as a common conscience of society.

 

I'm far from sure that common sense exists. In my experience, sense isn't common at all. It's extremely rare.

 

I agree, having thought about this Pete is probably right. When I ask for a response from our learned friend I'm not on a wind up I am genuinely interested in his thoughts.

 

Common sense is overrated. Sometimes a wrong or incorrect decision can be serendipitous. Reason, knowledge, understanding and logic can also sometimes bias a decision towards conformity. Occasionally just being or thinking randomly can bring unforeseen benefits and experiences.

 

dude. you know stuff. i is impressed.

 

You have to know these things when you're King you know.

 

hail king boots

 

I see my jester has awoken.

I bet he makes a delightful quiche, too.
