What does "common sense" mean?

[hoosier]

Me being a "honkey", I don't understand this signature from the post below:

"Who came up with the phrase "common sense"? More importantly, can we sue him/her for FALSE ADVERTISING?!?"

What does you being white have to do with not understanding the meaning of the extremely common phrase "Common Sense"?

Is this post for real and have I fallen for the okie-doke?

common sense is seeing a good opportunity and taking it..
for eaxample, if I were to go back in time and tell myself to join this affiliate program that I have discovered in the future,, I could be a rich man right now...
if you would like to get involved goto

HoneyKiss, I'm wondering the same thing

It has nothing to do with being a "honkey."

Common sense, as MOST know, is the "basic" knowledge & understanding of life that everyone SUPPOSEDLY has. Things like anything you get from the store with an expiration date, and even some things that dont, will eventually go bad. I emphasize "supposedly" because what's "common sense" to one may not be to another. Hence the statement in my signature.

exactly my point, hence the false advertising part.
