We have been taught to be critical, so we are critical.

Not here in the states. Critical thinking is quite suppressed here, after all whats the use in having a population with critical thinking skills?
Well: see: i can only tell from other countries/nations from what i hear...
I have thought in every country which has gone through the age of enlightenment and the carnival of 1968 it would be hip to give signals, which tend to say:
"i am critical, i do care, i take my response - libleness ... all that \"bullshit\" "
(lots of hippies were simply hip==suits, (at that time). Look at them now. The german green party was the first one who accepted going to war after WW2)
No offense: really not.
And here and now: i simply have to believe what you say, as how should i know better? And what should i do if i doubt everything from the very beginning?
Otoh: you aint got your "michael moores", which got bestsellers, everyone reads it and thinks: "man, i really got inside info, i know how it is going" ?
All that put into one bit melting-pot(enlightenment, 68, progressive-thinking...):
I pretty much like the idea of M. Focault, who said something like:
" Lets try to see what will happen if i think different from what i tend to think and from what i think i know. Just for the fun of it."
At that time and for him it has been marxism and freudianism (the criticism of that time). and a wee bit more.

lol.
to bigmouth?
just so no one may say i use bad excuses assume that: i wanted to bigmouth with the bit of python im learning (but i guess in other languages its the same?)
if you can live with bad excuses:
it seemed natural to me, as two quote-signs in a row ("bullshit"" <- those two) looked weird to me.
i put the word "bullshit" in qoute-tags to sign it as my personal opinion and not to hurd the moral-majority. I dont think it has been your question...
no big deal
greetings

edit:
now that i think about it i made a fault anyway...
"i do care...", all that "bs".
would have been correct. more lol.
No I don't. Mind you, I don't hear much. The only thing I sometimes hear is a foreboding high-pitched sound. So apart from the food tasting odd and the occasional urge to lick my lower abdominal area I feel completely woof.

It's very simple. If someone who holds similar opinions to mine tells me something I tend to believe them. If, on the other hand, I hear something from a person who doesn't share my beliefs, I usually take it with a pinch of salt
