Always turn a negative situation into a positive situation?

Would 3 negative numbers be a positive number?
3 negative numbers are three negative numbers. There are a lot of things you can do with them: -- You can add them up. Their sum is always a negative number. -- You can add two of them and subtract the third one from the sum. The result could be a positive number or it could be a negative number. It depends on the three negative numbers you started with. -- You can multiply them all together. The product is always a negative number. -- You can multiply all of their absolute values together. The product is always a positive number. -- You can multiply two of them, and divide the product by the third one. The result is always a negative number. -- You can multiply two of them, then raise the product to the power of the third one. The result is always a positive number. -- You can divide one of them by another one, then raise the quotient to the power of the third one. The result is always a positive number. But, as I said at the top, 3 negative numbers are never anything else other than three negative numbers.
Will the sum of two integers always be negative?
No. For example, 2 + 3 = 5 which is positive, and 2 + (-2) = 0 which is neither positive nor negative. Well, that completely discredits my 4th grade math book that said any number that is not negative IS positive. Therefore, zero is by default a positive number. However, the sum of two negative integers will always be negative. Adding a negative integer decreases the value of the result and given that both integers are negative implies that the sum will be negative. "Implies"? you say. Do you have no conviction? Cannot you say 'determines' when it is obvious? "not obvious"? you say, Then does that mean the sum of 2 negative numbers MIGHT not be negative? See, this is what happens when a 5th grade question is answered by someone with superior attitude.

Why positive is greater than negative?
A number A is said to be greater than another number B is A - B is more than 0. If A is positive and B is negative, then A - B is always positive and so each positive number is greater than each negative number.
