When I was growing-up (back in the 50's and 60's) my parents cautioned me to use common sense when it came to following the "pack" and embracing new ideas and trends etc...I ran into some generational differences with my sons at times too...It's not easy to be a "hold-out" and the only one in the group who doesn't "go along." Peer pressure can play a big role in many peoples' lives. (And the push to conform to group "norms.") Don't you think?...As a parent I hoped that my sons would question things on their own. (Versus playing "follow the leader.").. I know my sons viewed me as a "naysayer" and old-fashioned at times. And I remember feeling this way about my parents when I was younger too...It can become a battle of "old" versus "new." Or a longing to be accepted versus having the guts to "say no" and "stand alone." What do you think?
Can't explain it, dunno why???
Common sense especially the good ones are practically non-existence today...
Maybe the influence of TV or the Net???
Sheeps are just that "sheeps"...
good for the "fleecing" (taken advantage of especially "money" & "brainwashing" wise).
Woe to the people who is stupid enough who folk over major bucks for a "glorified mutt" with the branding of "designer" on it...
Or
The so called "organic foods"... aren't everything really organic so long they are an organism or plant life???
Then...
How about that have to got to buy that "new home" & trusting them not to devalue???
How can it not be "older" after time / years put on it & how can that HO regulate no more "new homes" being built so their home retains value????
And what did playing a computer model of that sim city tells you???
High taxer tax = drive population away = production & business for that area "down" no???
But just some of the examples.
Yah & Yikes...
The loss of common sense indeed.
