Common Sense is dead Moving on from CK's recent post, here goes: "Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend; 'Common Sense' who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as knowing when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm, life isn't always fair and maybe it was my fault. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you earn) and reliable parenting strategies (adults, not children, are in charge). His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a six-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition. Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job they failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer; paracetamol, sun lotion or a sticky plaster to a student, but could not inform the parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion. Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar can sue you for assault. Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realise that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement. Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust, his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason. Three stepbrothers survive him; I Know My Rights, Someone Else is to Blame and I'm A Victim. Not many attended his funeral because so few realised he was gone." Please discuss. Rgds, Rob |
Hear hear. |
Nice one Rob:) C |
Too true |
RIP Common sense, long live KTM |
Would be really funny if it wasn't so true :o Darren |
NEWS FLASH !!!!!! It has just been reported that a late entrant called Rob has put his name down to be the leader of the Conservative party. His maiden speech has so impressed everyone that 99.9% of the public have said that they will vote for him at the next general election. However 0.01 % have stated that they intend to block this move at the European Court as it will affect their human rights to be prats by allowing a sensible view of life to prevail. Rob was last seen banging his head against a brick wall............ |
:P:P:P:P |

Ah! So there's hope yet then. If we ever get to a point where 99.9% of the public suddenly get an attack of Daily Mail induced apoplexy and join up with all the Colonel Blimps and blue rinsers then we'll truly know that common sense has fled the country |
Aha! A liberal leftie has shown his true colours eh? Corporal, pass me that whip will you? and turn up Radio 2 while I give him a good thrashing :flame: |

So who is responsible for this lamentable state of affairs and will there be a swing back to common sense values at some time in the future? Or is everyone either too apathetic or too frightened to speak out? [Edited on 21-10-2005 by philthy] |
