Ignorance doesn't kill you, but it makes you sweat a lot.

Ignorance is simply a lack of knowledge or information.

So ignorance can be cured with...guess what?...knowledge and information.

I have a similar saying:

Ignorance is curable, but stupidity is forever!

I like mine better.

Incompetence is the inability to do something successfully.

Which can often also be cured by knowledge and information.

None of us like to admit our ignorance. We all fall short.

Every now and then I come across someone with extremely foolish ideas. Ideas that no one in their right mind could possibly hold true. The problem with them, as I see it, is they make me question what ideas I fervently "know to be true" that are, in fact, false.

As long as I stay away from idiots, I don't have to question my own idiocy.

Mousseline, I'm afraid you started a battle with your normal flair and aplomb for stirring people to respond, but it's one that can not be won by definition. The more you try to spin or modify the meaning of that word, the more you underline it's actual meaning.

It may help to clarify that meaning for some others here, but this thread was launched with a fatal flaw.

So you're saying that the people who choose to remain ignorant will remain ignorant.

Almost all of her threads are launched with a fatal flaw and, let's be honest, that's why we like them.
