Yes

If sense was common, everyone would have it

Yes

Yes because I have found that common sense is definitely NOT common and that few people have it.

The name Common Sense more means, it's practical and obvious not that everyone has it.

Because it isn't as common as it implies. If there were more common sense there would be more sensible people. :-)

You are right, Jan. Something we took for granted years ago-"good old fashioned sense"-is now becoming rather rarer than the proverbial hens' teeth....!!

It does seem like common sense has become uncommon. I don't think I would change the phrase though.

Hmmm.... those that demonstrate common sense are getting rare...

It appears that commons sense to refer to those lacking it as "uncommon sense".

No

It wouldn't be nearly as insulting to say "do you have no common sense?"

I think people are overly pessimistic about the status of common sense. There are probably a lot less genuinely stupid, completely gullible, ignorant people than everyone assumes there to be.

It certainly should in this day and age! 'Common sense' seems to be very thin on the ground these days.
