1. "Common sense" is something that is no longer "common"; it may have been bred out by rednecks, white supremacists, haters, or plain old "common folk". Maybe it is just ignored as an attempted stand against authority, maybe it is a product of anti-evolution, an anti-sensible change brought about by genetically inept breeding.
EX: Lacking common sense is exemplified by kids run around with sharp scissors or knives, walk in the middle of the road and FULLY EXPECT you to move out of their way - as if the sidewalk needs to be defined on this site before they can figure out that it is to be used by them, and that VEHICLES use the road, stupid parents that don't care, and don't care to know where their kids are lack common sense, drinking and driving. buzz driving, playing Russian Roulette, acceptance of Ebonics as a dialect or urban language is due to a lack of common sense by those who decided it was easier to give up than to teach their students properly, etc... The list goes on and on...
EX 2: It used to be common sense to do a courtesy flush but now when you walk into a bathroom stall (stall) you can't even breath b/c some iggit dropped a bomb sized turd into the toilette and did not flush it. Common sense is something that used to be prevalent in society, as a whole, but through time has diminished greatly for whatever reason.
EX 3: A great example of the lack of common sense is some person looking this definition up as "common cents", as I have heard it referred to, and ironically, I have seen it spelled that way.

A Sense of Purpose is the ninth studio album by In Flames, that was originally set to be released April 4, 2008, but was leaked to the internet March 16. Was the first album by the band to receive a parental advisory sticker on the cover. Some may say that the album goes even further from the bands original sound and more into mainstream music, but it is still an amazing album.
Bob: A sense of purpose is a bad album. In Flames have sold out and gone into mainstream. They have completely changed their style into more of a metalcore/nu metal sound, and I refuse to listen to them before they go back to The Jester Race sound.
Matt: Go suck a cock.

"There is a chalk outline being drawn around common sense, and most people cannot even identify the victim."

He/she was apprehensive about becoming one of those wandering dorks that didn't know where they were or what was going on, and with the self control of a chicken without a head, which made him/her a human with common sense and not a fearful coward.
