you aren't much of a critical thinker.
Try being a contrarian for a year and you will sharpen your thinking in a thousand ways you never expected.

No. I refuse. That's just stupid.

Being obstinate is not the same as being a contrarian.

I have made a career at work out of being contrarian.
If you play it right, people get used to you being that little voice in their head they expect to yell at them when they're doing something wrong. And they find great solace when on occasion you actually say, "go for it."

The questioning mind is freedoms' greatest ally.
That's not to support contrariness or agreeability; it means that you must be discerning and to do so you must be willing to be wrong sometimes.

I'm a contrarian even with myself, makes for slow going at times but otherwise I agree with your premise.

Groucho wins the thread for getting paul to admit this so quickly.

It's pretty funny that several thoughtless morons in this thread consider themselves contrarians.
