Out of all the things that I expect Cracked to provide (1: amusement, 2: occasional moments of “I did not know that”), I did not anticipate two articles that, in highlighting certain common — and, with a little effort, avoidable — behaviours, essentially provide rather good impetus to be a better human being.

Especially online, there’s enough people being mean and judgemental to each other without contributing to it. It can also often be difficult to provide reasonable criticism of something without slipping into insulting it, especially with highly charged subjects like politics and religion; even with things of far less importance, like online games, in the heat of the moment it can be easy to let insults fly. Here’s to being a little bit more mindful about what we say.

Hat-tip to Chris for pointing out the first article.
