i was just wonderin if "ignorant" is like the cool word of theological thinker and left wing people. Just seems like whenever people opose eachother they call eachother ignorant. Or am i just being ignorant?

I think the term ignorant has been used very subjectively.Like you said when people don't agree with eachother they call themselves ignorant.But sometimes as you will find in this forum many people deserrve this title.For example in one thread somebody calls Sadam an evil ruler,I see no problem with that but that same person thinks the solution to that is bombing the shit out of inocent Iraqui civilians and instaling a pupet regime.Ignorant or not?You be the judge.

"Well, I am certainly wiser than this man. It is only too likely that neither of us has any knowledge to boast of, but he thinks that he knows something which he does not know, whereas I am quite conscious of my ignorance. At any rate it seems that I am wiser than he is to this small extent, that I do not think that I know what I do not know."---Socrates

hmmm, i see, i just think the word ignorant is over rated at times and people use it to sound smart.But about you saying that one guy ignorant for wanting to bomb the iraqis. Thats more heartless i think. If anything the U.S. should just like go in stealth mode and take out Saddam. And yeah, it might be a puppet government. But some people need to be on strings. Its kinda like keeping a baby in a play pen. You keep it in there so that it doesnt hurt itself. Then when it grows up and learns to take care of itself, you let it go. Anyways, thats my thoughts, are they ignorant? if so oh well, you'll get over it
