No, you have never seen gravity pull something towards earth
No one has.

You have seen things accelerating towards earth.
For all you know its fairies trying to stop them flying

I never said I was thinking about the cause, just that things will always fall towards earth.

I don't need to do a
scientific study on it.

The problem is that what you think is 'obvious' turns out to be on close
inspection completely indecidable.

But that's a common thuing with Stupid****s„¢

The problem with today's society, including you, is nobody has any common sense left. Everyone goes by rules and regulations, nobody can think for themselves any more. 99% of the world has OCD.

"Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.

He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
Why the early bird gets the worm;
Life isnt always fair,
and maybe it was my fault.

Common sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (dont spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults are in charge not children).

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of an 8 year old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate on the cheek, teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch, and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Common sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student, but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses, and criminals received better treatment than their victims.

Common sense took a beating when you couldnt defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.

Common sense finally gave up the will to live, after a women failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common sense was preceded in death, by
His parents, Truth and Trust
His wife, Discretion
His daughter, Responsibility
His son, Reason.

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers
I know my rights
I want my rights
I want it now
Im a victim.

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone."
