Heheheh find the big cannons....here is my view on it.
I can understand Ignorance if the government of the country don't fight illiteracy.
This gives good soil for extremist to harvest members and the masses is "easy" to lead due to little knowledge...they have to accept the meaning given to them by a "popular" speaker and has no means to establish their own opinion about the subject due to illiteracy.
If your government provide you freely with education...and there is no limitation in the information flow...then it is almost a crime to to show Ignorance in those subject you want to attend or discuss.
This is also shown in the law.....you can not get free from any action you have done by calling yourself ignorant in the field....because if you was....you should not have attended, you have an obligation to collect the needed information.
Then we have the convenient ignorance.....we don't want to know....because if we know...then it hurt.....but in the end it will hurt anyway.
We all have an ignorance in 1 or more fields....and we all want to attend discussions in such fields more then once.....then it is important that we are open for that informations that is given and accept that fact that we have much to learn and that we move our borders all the time, but again...don't take a single word for it...seek information!![:)](./images/smilies/001.gif)
So in my opinion NO Ignorance are more a crime then a bliss!

Thank you Grandpa Rhuto for your feedback. Of course there might be others who would disagree but that is the fun of it, isn't it. I like a good cat fight sometimes (minus the scratches of courseRhutobello wrote:Heheheh find the big cannons....here is my view on it.

Yes sounds very much like what the communist govt were doing. But humans are born with the thirst for knowledge (well some of us anyway.LOL) and there will always be people questioning everything so as you can see the marxist ideal is falling apart. It will be great if North Korea disarm as well.

. Major turn off. There is never a complete right or wrong. Everything comes in shades of grey.

Poppa dear!
We all love to bitch and whine about government and how stupid and inefficient it is and how stupid and inept our leaders are and our mayors are and on and on and on!
Assuming that most of us disgruntled posters live in developed countries with many a freedoms and real democracy, here is one STUPID question this naive gentleman from a third world country transplanted by personal choice for more than half of his lifetime into a modern developed western country asks!
WHO WAS IT THAT CHOSE, VOTED FOR AND INSTALLED THE CURRENT INEPT AND INEFFICIENT NINCOMPOOP GOVERNMENT, THAT IS THE VILLAIN OF THE PIECE, ALWAYS?
AND THE ONE BEFORE THIS ONE, AND THE ONE BEFORE THAT ...?"
Warmest regards and HAPPY awakenings ;-)
