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.

That's cuz you guys are obviously not being honest. I'll have to flip the answers around at the end, then they'll make sense.

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
