One man's "completely indefensible or undeniably ignorant" is another's obvious common sense.
What do you think "common" means? And if you're talking about people like Bushie or Teddy, they aren't normal at all.
Well, for example;
Blue Avatar: "Most people on welfare are life-long moochers who wouldn't take employment even if it were available."
Red Avatar: *posts in this thread*
It might be considered "common sense" on this forum that Blue Avatar's statement is "absurd," but if you did a poll of the American public odds are that you'd find a substantial majority agreeing with Blue Avatar.
That's not common sense, common sense is what 90%* or more people agree on. If 51%* people agree on something, it's narrow majority opinoin.
*Numbers we're pulled out of my ass.
