You can take this question however you want, but I just mean that so many argue about things that they obviously know nothing about.

kitkat: I never said that all ignorant people are only in America. Perhaps you should start on your meds again.

Excellent question. I think it's easier to take a stance and a few anecdotes than it is to research both sides of the story.
Many people only know what they've been told by people they trust and unfortunately many of them are "caught" at a bad time in their lives.
This is the only way that I can justify how people become neo-Nazis. A little research and travel would set them straight, IMHO.

Because change is occuring at an accelerating rate in America, more than any where in the world. Look at Iran. The Shah brought them kicking and screaming into the modern world. And for his efforts, he was ousted, and the people went straight back to the bronze age. Change is occuring there now, at a slower rate.
It takes nearly all of our intellectual ability, just to keep up with the days new technology. At some point, tools become toys, and information becomes entertainment.

Ignorance to some is bliss. The ignorance in America is due to arrogance that they are the best humans living in the world with no knowledge about other cultures, religions their politics and even ignorance of American biased foreign policies.
It is always easy to make a point to well informed American rather than arguing with an ignorant American.

i won't communicate for the Korea of in the present day yet as a black soldier stationed for the size of Korea interior the 70s. Racism became a Hydra monster. there have been Koreans who basically did unlike blacks for located and unfounded motives. something the Koreans have been dealing with on the subject material of blacks, remarkable ol' Uncle Sam did no longer help concerns. Korea gained a basically top dose of yank racism that was instilled in alot of uninformed, uneducated Koreans. young ones of blended mothers and fathers a good style of the time blacks have been mistreated extra so than whites. it is what it is or what it became as quickly as. I in my view enjoyed Korea as a youthful soldier (7 years). lots of the human beings, the custom and the nutrients. humorous I knew Korea larger than alot of the place of residing grown Koreans:))) probable i visit get a threat to pass back quicker or later yet plenty has changed. I left Korea in 1978.

Short answer: Because information may lead to but does not equal knowledge. I had a student tell me "I don't need to know anything, because if I need to I can just look it up."
So much for our advanced brains.
Alternate answer: I ask this question every day of my life, and I don't think that I am any closer to the answer today then when I first asked it.
Long answer: You don't even wanna get me started ...

There's obviously a lot of biased information and even
misinformation and also the simple fact that someone might read or see something and then just interpret it to fit their needs and beliefs which is just ...well... ignorant!

Because we live in America we can voice out opinion good, bad or indifferent and with pure emotion without facts. Do I agree with everything that is posted? NO. But I will defend their right to voice it

Because Information has been commonly misunderstood since man learned how to communicate and now even more because of religions they are restricting the mind from believing the truth and inffluencing them to aquire of which does not makes sence.

It's our right living in a free country to say anything we want with no evidence and justify it by saying "the experts are wrong", "it's always been that way", or "the big book says so".

It is easier to argue what you think you know than it is to pick up a book and learn something. It is also easier to listen to the religion that is forced upon us than it is to explore other options.
