I would, because I'm a shit stirrer  The question asked was "how much have you changed", which to me implies "as a person", which further implies a significant change, shit-stirrer. Now run along and pester someone else.

I realized I need to make the best of my life and that life goes on. | |

| | | Like Bluesummer, I've changed soooo much in the last five years.
Getting divorced was major. I also left the restaurant business, where I was successful and comfortable, to pursue a totally different career path.
I've weeded out poisonous people, fostered positive relationships, dealt with suicidal depression and reconnected with the love of my life. I've let go of a lot of righteous anger and found myself to be far more compassionate than I ever thought I was.
What a long, strange trip it's been.

An unabridged dictionary does not have the viscosity to measure your uncanny, arrogant comment! For the record, I couldn't even correspond with your post, I was so disgusted. I think I edited it 5-6 times before I just said **** it.
It sure is a good thing you aren't teaching now; discouraging someone from thinking critically is the worst thing you could do. | |

It sure is a good thing you aren't teaching now; discouraging someone from thinking critically is the worst thing you could do. Actually I do still teach, LW. I just don't do it as often anymore, I can pick & choose the contracts I take now, lol.
And if you think I have discouraged you from critical thinking, woo boy, you are very confused.
Take a hard science or logic course, LW. Critical thinking is NOT the same as being *creative*, which I do think you excel at. Creativity, particularly in arts, is about 'anything goes'. That is NOT what it means to think critically. You need to learn to be more discerning about ideas.
Not all ideas are created equal. THAT is the crux of critical thinking, that and knowing how to tell them apart. And I know I have made that comment on here before at least once. 
I hate wiki citations, but it might help you to start: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_thinking | |

| | | Yeah, but sometimes guilt is intermixed with yet to be seen consequences of past actions, but that is paranoia | |
