A sad example of ignorance in our society today is that some children around the world are not getting enough exposure to education and the truth of the world out there. If asked to point out places and historical sites like New York City, India, Chile on a map they fail to. I think we are all wrapped up in our society bubble, we are so oblivious to the outside world.

people who think there should be religion in schools - think about it, there are a ton a people in the US who all have different religions (Hinduism, Judaism, Confucianism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam) and there are atheists too who dont believe in a god at all....people should not think that everyone should have to listen to stuff thats Christian because believe it or not, no everyone is Christian
another example of ignorance would be George Bush.
another example is racism
another example is ignoring the problems we have going on with AIDS epidemic and poverty in Africa and many other places in the world

The fact that the government is supplying billions of dollars to fund a war that is going on across the world, but the government won't supply enough money for the children of America to receive a proper education.

lmao at the "irac" answer...too funny ....you proved that your an example of ignorance.
A good example would racism.
Another would be all these idiots that believe the Liberal Media hype about the President without bothering to do any research and find out facts for themselves.

How you can ask anyone on the street to recite the Star Spangled Banner, and not many people can do it correctly. Try it, you'll be surprised! Severe ignorance.

how about the fact that it is socially acceptable to be racist against whites but not any other race ? we have a ms black america beauty pageant but if we had a ms whitey beauty pageant the NAACP would shut it down. how about BET black entertainment TV ? I Want WET ! Not to single blacks out. These days with all the Hispanic uprisings it's common for them to get away with racial slurs these days too. I can show you an example RIGHT HERE ON YAHOO ANSWERS http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ahp05ZD7B.q.4CPAZ398K7Hsy6IX?qid=1006053120492
can you believe this crap has not been removed yet ? but a question very similar to this that was posted after this only directed towards another race (black) was removed IMMEDIATELY. what does that tell you ? no one seems to care except me !
