RE: Is Common Sense Dead? - 5 Year Old Girl Fined £150 for Lemonade Stand

in #law7 years ago

To obey the law is common sense. To get a job is common sense. To pay your taxes is common sense. Common sense goes against any kind of innovation. What that person lack is basic human sensibility.

Sort:  

I don't necessarily agree with that.

Which part?

That common sense goes against innovation.

What I meant with common sense is what most people belive is normal and don't ever question any part of it. That's why I said it goes against innovation since to innovate you need to think outside the box and don't take anything for granted.

OK I understand. That makes sense.

Obey the law, get a job and paying your taxes is not commons sense.
It is what you have been indoctrinated into.

If you were meant to obey the law, the law would be no bigger than the bible, it would easily readable, in english, and it would be a required class in school. The law is none of those things. It is a group of writings by a secret cabal that fills libraries. It is written in a language that you have to go to school for years to learn to understand it. And in no part of your life were you actually taught anything about law. Further, I bet that almost everything you list as a law is actually a code. (Huge difference, but you probably were never taught that distinction)

Getting a job is something you were trained your whole life into. Go to school, Get a safe secure job.
However, that is not the case at all. There is no safe secure jobs. The only secure job is a job you create yourself. Or, becoming an entrepreneur. But, I bet that all you were taught about entrepreneurship is that it was dangerous and risky.

To pay your taxes. To pay your fair share. That is what you were told. First your federal taxes do not go to pay the govern-cement. They go to the FED. Where they are literally thrown into a furnace. Then the FED makes new money and loans it to the govern-cement. Throwing your money into a furnace is common sense?

Further, the govern-cement is doing things with "your money" that if you had any say in it, it would not do... EVER. Being in Afghanistan guarding poppies? Bailing out banks? Imposing regulations on lemonade stands?

I think you misunderstood me. What I meant with common sense is what most people belive is normal and don't ever question any part of it. That's why I said it goes against innovation since to innovate you need to think outside the box and don't take anything for granted.

I don't consider propagandized lies to be common sense.
But, I can easily see how you would use the wording that way.
