Common sense.

This is a misnomer, because it isn't very common. In fact the vast majority of people I come into contact with on a daily basis haven't the sense they were fucking born with. You can put the blame on a myriad of things from dumbed down television, to crap diet, to the refusal of parents to have any meaningful interaction with the mewling spawn they spat out into this world.

I personally don't believe that we are a product of our environment, anyone with a modicum of intelligence will drag themselves free from the mire of stupidity that this nanny state want us to wallow in.

No, I put it down to individual laziness, these numb fuckers that I come across, the ones who ask me "What does used mean ?" when looking at computer games in the shop. Or the ones who can't open and close doors properly, or the morons who try to jam a game case into a non-existent slot, or the gibbon-brained individuals who block the whole isle at the supermarket and then scowl at you when you say, "excuse me". Even if they were just a little less lazy, just enough to be aware of their surroundings, and the fact that they share this planet with other people.

It's a good job we have gun control !
