there is a difference between ignorance and stupidity.... |

Ignorance can be be cured, stupidity cannot.
Sometimes I wonder where over half of our country falls on all of this.....

is the same as stupidity. I know a number of intelligent people who insist on remaining ignorant (Faux is their sole new source, etc.) Scary, really...

Stupidity can be forgiven and ignorance can be changed, but there's no excuse for willful ignorance.

stupidity (though that's not a very nice word) is a condition some of us are born with; it doesn't affect character. Ignorance is a lifestyle defect that can be corrected and it can, indeed, affect character. I'm stupid in a lot of ways, but I try hard not to be ignorant. :shrug:

4. I am stupid in some ways. |
|
I'm not ashamed to admit that. For example, I was born with a natural math dysfunction that I've worked very hard to overcome. It's only since I was about 35 that numbers or any abstract application of numbers made sense to me. I personally don't believe stupid is the worst thing a person can be. :shrug:

Ha ha! Try to wiggle out of that one!
