Unfortunately, the youth of today choose ignorance as a "Badge of Courage."

"Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise" is a saying of which most people know only three words. Taken out of context as they are, these seem to promote willful ignorance in all matters, yet are often taken as absolute truth.

A definition on here: Pocahontas - has long dark hair...etc. <Ignorance

Actually in real life Pocahontas had no hair.

You believe that the evening news is actually news? Wow, some ignorance.

"Americans are all fat, stupid and arrogant."
"English people have bad teeh and we saved them in WW2!"
"I hate chinese people."

Without ignorance, there would be no war, racism, sexism or bigotry. And those are some pretty bad things, right?
