#3Critical thinking is overrated, constructive thinking is underrated.
Too many turn into critics rather than creators because saying to the world "this is what I stand for, this is what I created" is so much harder than to simply tear someone elses down.
The US is actually much better than Europe but unfortunately academic disciplines and craftmanship are mostly separated in the education system when they should never have been separated to begin with.
Its a shame really cause creation is what matters. And yes I understand the irony of my comment :)

#4I like three general types of comments: 1. Personal stories that expand on the submitted article. 2. Corrections or expansions to the submitted article in details. 3. Corrections or expansions to the submitted article in the core theme.
The ones I dislike are uninformed or overly emotional.

#5The article is completely wrong. There's hardly any negativity on the Internet at all, and none of it comes from our training.

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt

#9>Some errors are injustices and should be corrected, but most are not.
How do you decide which are which?
