I hate ignorant people, i really do. Prime example: parents (most anyway). Here's my best example of said(besides certain kid in our class who's particularly ignorant) i was at this shindig for rosh hashanah this year i believe. Nearing the end of our visit, i grabbed a handful of black olives and my mom told me not to do that because it's rude. I asked her why and she repeated herself. I kept asking her why because i wanted to see her defend herself. When she became unable to, she said, "I don't want to have this conversation."

This was a victory for me, but it was still very annoying because A) parents expect kids not to questions them, and B) they try and force a personal philosophie on their children without suficiant back up for their statement. It annoys me to no end, no end in sight.

hear hear!

There are many ways of "social taboos" that are handed down from generation to generation due to them being seen as offensive by someone in power. But seriously, it can be kinda retarded at times if someone tells you not to cross your legs if you're a guy, because that's feminine. Woop-de-fucking-doo.

But yes, this is something that plagues the minds of many folks today. Ignorance sweeps the nation as we all strive to become that Joe Somebody, but slip into another clone amongst the ranks of the American society. Thousands of kids each day try to dress up like someone they're not, act the part, and become another clone and pawn of the popularity game. This is something I'm personally pissy about, but I'll cover that in another rant.

Ignorance is bliss, but it's still sheer stupidity. Stupidity leads to negativity, it's a known fact, and pride is a big conductor of ignorant stupidity. Many won't admit a mistake due to their pride being wounded, thus they insist that no mistake was made and that it was something else's fault. Most of the time this is not true however, because they simply (as stated before) don't want to admit the fault due to their pride being bruised. Seriously: if you can go around dolling out shit to other folks all day, you can take a few hits yourself. You're not any type of god, you're not about to have everyone worship the ground around you just because you're a prideful fuck. If anything, this will drive people away. So seriously: step back and learn to admit that you're not perfect, as much as I know it might be hard for some. But I'm tired of hearing that you're too awesome to be at fault be a liable excuse... it's downright childish.

Now, before I start going off on a tangent about people's tendencies, I'll repeat myself:

Ignorance is bliss, but it's still sheer stupidity.
I seek to attain
serenity of water
steadfastness of earth
quickness of air
passion of fire
subtility of dark
vindication of light
and unity of spirit

To add onto what Sui said, my brother is always trying to find someone or something else to blame, even for his own actions. For example, one time he told me something from a conversation me and dandan were having on an instant messanger. I told him that he really shouldn't be reading my convos. He said in retaliation that if i hadn't installed AIM on this one computer in the first place, then he wouldn't have to read them. Then, to add even more insult and hurt, he said that if i didn't uninstall AIM from that computer, then he'd have no choice but to read my private convos. WHAT THE FUCK?!?! what does having an instant messanger have to do with respecting my privacy and leaving it the fuck alone? Why is it that my privacy is being destroyed and then i'm blamed for it? I would've been highly irked, but instead i felt a pang of regret and disappointment. After all i do for my little brother, and i do more than teachers and parents and any other relative btw, he stabs me in the back. Sometimes it just amazes me that no-one, no-where is safe from the corruption of the world. You'd think that some people would be able to resist, and many are, but not all, not the ones we really wish that they were able to resist. But i guess, that's just a sci-fi, future "the world is so damn perfect" fantasy.
