Ignore it and hope it goes away

Yeah, see, I tried that for the first 10 years but here we are.
Hym "You see, if you ignore it and hope it goes away not only am I not going to not go away but I'm also commit even nore so to doing it. Your mistake was including the mentally retarded cripple. The ambiguity is gone now and I just won't accept any outcome that doesn't involve one of two things.... And we all know what those things are. I'm sure you're tired of hearing it at this point. I'm tired of saying it. I'm tired in general. I've been up all night. I got a good one for you when I wake up though. You're going to like it."

Scenario 1
Person 1: OH MY GOD! Can you believe India only outlawed acid throwing on women's faces in 2013?

Scenario 2
Person 1: European countries basically share the same cultures, right?
Person 2: I mean that's sort of a generalization.
Person 1: Dude really... What's the difference between Germans and Italians anyway?
Person 2: Do you know about the P.I.I.G.S.?
Person 1: What's that?
Person 2: Just shut up before you say anything else stupid.

Scenario 3
Person 1: WAIT! Some African countries follow a different calendar?!
Person 2: Yes. Other countries thousands of years ago followed different ways to record time, and they're still recording their unique time and calendar today.
Person 1: Oh my god, America sucks! Why couldn't we learn about that in school?
Person 2: Some religions in America follow different calendars. You're just not that perceptive man.

Scenario 4
Person 1: Things could be worse in America. Look at how Saudi Arabia treats women.
Person 2: While that is true, that doesn't mean America doesn't have any issues. Stop using other countries ideals as a scapegoat to not want to improve America.

ignorance

Willful lack of knowledge: An seemingly small nuisance that is secretly the greatest problem in modern civilization. It has been used to justify some of the greatest atrocities humanity has ever committed, stunt and void necessary advances and progress on all fronts, and suppress the rights and opinions of others by no reasonable fault on their part. It is an all-encompassing ideology that spans most if not all of society in one way or another, whether it be small ideas like "It's just a (insert item here)." or major global historic events like the Trail of Tears; and if left unchanged will eventually be the downfall of mankind.
"...Many people would argue that ignorance is worse than knowledge..."
-Brian Cox
