Common sense is dead!! People just do what they want now, and d..n the cosequences.

Common Sense is when you lot all agree with what I want, all of the time.

I fail to see why this is such a difficult concept.

No, society will take care of the consequences it seems,

We live in an age where all of the guilty "have rights", and are portrayed as victims.

It's not just common sense that is dead, but the old ways full stop.

I'm of the opinion that people have gone soft, not able to take a knock & just get on with life like we once used to do. Now people just look for someone else or something to blame for their own weaknesses, rather than accepting their own blame.

Also, comedians are now finding it almost impossible to perform any routine for fear of offending people, even those who've paid to sit in the audience knowing what to expect. People look for offence where there is often none to find, or more shouldn't be if they weren't going soft. The days of Frankie Boyle, Jimmy Carr, et al are numbered.

Modern society had killed any fun left to have in life, & I'm so glad I have far less years to have to endure this than I've already lived......
