I could prove you wrong, Joseph Pierre Gilles. My mother remains ignorant that she has aided the alienating father in stealing my child and denies any problems...chooses to remain ignorant as there is tons of info on parental alienation!
She is NOT ignorant, she is either too selfish and/or lazy and/or non interested and/or idiot and/or stupid.......but she KNOWS, therefor NOT ignorant....when you KNOW, you can't pretend being ignorant...thats just impossible... being ignorant is a lack of knowledge...I don't say I'm right, but I'm close....and if I'm wrong, please tell me with some facts, so I won't stay ignorant....

hmmm. Not to sure if I can argue with you. You are right...she knows..she knows that i am vocal, an activist, and that I have availed of 18mths of psychotherapy, but fails to educate herself with knowlegde of the other side of the story...mine...the truth. But she chooses to believe her thoughts are rational in her sick mind and there's is nothing I can do to change that and my psychologist says she is toxic, after meeting her. ;) Let me know when you have it figured out...
I can't help any further Leigh, but if one ignore, he ignore, and when he knows, he can't ignore anymore....so choosing to ignore is impossible....unless you put yourself in a box and you don't move from there never... :D
Joseph Pierre Gillies, one can choose to be ignorant. On another site I have pointed out to people on that site about the birth certificate, and that there are other options available but you have to choose to teach yourself and learn for yourself. I gave them some hints as to videos to watch and people to look up. All I got from one is that she prays every night, and that leaving it in His hands DCS will crumble shortly. How can you fight that kind of logic? I'm not religious, but I'm not against whatever anyone else wants to believe. If that is what floats your boat, but I know that it takes more than that. They choose to do nothing, even though they could try and investigate for themselves. They choose to be ignorant. For many sheeple it is a choice. But there is a difference in people that don't know that there is something else out there and people that choose to not inform themselves.
In other words, people can decide what to do with their weekly 168 hours....If I DECIDE to INVEST my TIME....which is my TIME in HOCKEY let say....and I have NO MORE TIME to put in what OTHERS may think its more important than what I THINK....The choice we make are the choice we make.....being IGNORANT in some fields is inevitable....YOU CAN'T know EVERYTHING....so therefore, ignorancy is not a choice....the choice has been made before, in what WE think or BELEIVE is good for us....You can't blame people of nor knowing what you know...you just can't....EVERYONE choose to inform themself, but NOT necessary in what YOU think its important to be informed....
We are ALL here because public servants decided to declare war to us....3 years ago, I had NO suspisions of any public servants being bad with me...I knew something was wrong but could not see ANY serious effect on me, so MY TIME was put in some other stuff....mostly in MY FIELD which is electricity.....but when I found out someone wanted to RAPE me....I decided to be BELLIGERENT and fight....I became CURIOUS of what LAW is and what are my rights.....I was 44 then....
But people make choices every day, by being a human being you have to make a choice as to what is important to you in your life. Learning the law or watching Honey BooBoo. So it is choice to be ignorant or enlightened. A lot of people chose to be ignorant. They are happy being told what to do.
I think that is ture or alot of us, we don't learn till we are forced to. But there is a difference between not knowing and then finding out there is something else out there to help us and not knowing and finding out there is something and not doing anything about it. That is choosing to be ignorant.
Brenda Larson, you will not go anywhere with this....trust me on it....I meet lots of people EVERYDAY....and realize that they have their OWN life...yes, their OWN life....Calling them IGNORANT by CHOICE will not HELP anyone....LOVE them as much as you can, and they will listen a bit more to what you have to show them....call them IGNORANT and you will loose them....(I'm not really practicing it at full speed :D) but I do it once in a while and it works sometimes....But I'm not a people to people type of guy....I'm more a bastard type of guy :D , tolerence is not in my top list quality...
What is even more ignorant is knowing there is something else out there, choosing not to do anything about it, and then expecting someone else to do it for you.
LOL You should go into the legal field, Im sure there is a spot for you somewhere. I never said that people are ignorant, they may watch stupid shows and they may act ignorant, but I said that they choose to be ignorant. Big difference

LOL your not going to give up. Yes everything is a choice. If you don't have any choices then what are you doing on this site? We are all ignorant till we are shown there is another way. But some people when they are shown that there is another way still choose not to do it. They choose to remain ignorant.
I say...you can lead a horse to water...id they don't drink?
Fuck en.
And to clarify: I don't think ignorance in the context meant in the OP applies to those who only know of option A. They may have only been exposed to that I've option. So their ignorance is not due to a cognizant "choice". Then there are those that the OP target: those that are aware of both option A and B, but CHOOSE to ignore or not consider option B because all they have known is option A. They are aware that there is more out there than one option, but, for a myriad or reasons, elect to stick to that one option even though they know there's more than just that. And these are the foolish ones...for they are conditioned....slaves...sheeple...who want to stay that,was and choose to remain ignorant to anything that isn't option A and goes against their conditioning
