Does ignorance ever make you want to hit a baby?

Do ignorant people ever just make you frustrated beyond rationality? In my speech class we got on the topic of Obama's beer summit, this is a girl's version(its paraphrased but still almost exactly what she said.

"Basically, A cop arrested one of Obama's friends 'cuz he was breaking into a a college professor'shouse, Obama's friend kept lying to him and wouldn't tell him what was going on so Obama decided to settle it by having a beer with the cop and his friend."

Yeh, what actually happened(tothe best of my knowledge)was Professor Gates("Obamas friend") came home from a vacation and his door was locked, so he had to break into his own house. his neighbor called the cops saying someone was breaking into their neighbors house. a cop(can't remember his name) came and knocked on the door, Gates answered but was very uncooperative. Obama settled the dispute by inviting Gates and the cop to the white house to have a beer.

keep in mind that where i live its VERY Republican. but even still when people talk about something they know NOTHING about, it drives me insane. its not even that we disagree about it, its that they think something for reasons that don't exist.

Another example: Me and my sister where talking about healthcare, neither of us want it. Her reason was that theres already plenty of healthcare companies so we don't need the government's healthcare and that Obama should be working on making jobs instead.

Again, WTF? we have the same opinion, but just the sheer ignorance of the reasoning is just unacceptable.

I don't want to make this too political but seriosly: its like saying God has to exist because the bible told me too. Or saying that every scientific theory is absolute indesputable fact. Or the universe is infinite because noone has seen the edge. it just makes me want to hit someone!

Summary:

Ignorant people are really annoying. I can agree with someone but if they reached the opinion out of lack of understanding it drives me insane. People shouldn't talk about stuff they don't know anything about.

^ thats a lot of words can u summarize it? :P

Ya know, I read the title, buuuut.....I'm just gonna be ignorant and not read all that. Just don't hit any babies please.

Seriously. :|

yeah, my neighbor's grandparents are ignorant, i would say. they're nice and all, but i was over there eating dinner with them one time and his grandparents were there. this was a little before the '08 election, so at one point, the dinner conversation was about the candidates. you could say that their family is jesus rednecks (rednecks minus the camo), and my friend's grandma said something along the lines of "you ain't letting him become liberal, are you? you'd have to lost your mind to vote for Obama." something like that. i didn't care that she didn't agree with his policies (hell, she probably didn't even know what they were), but seriously, come on.

I hate babies, ignorance has nothing to do with it. :x

No, I want to hit babies anyways. thriteenthmonke

tl;dr

However, based on your title, I am going with only ignorant people hit babies.

I really don't get why everyone in America seems pissed off that they're about to get the best access to healthcare the country has ever seen.
It's unbelieveable how many Americans seem to think their healthcare system is just fine the way it is. I just can't understand, talk about having your head in the sand.
And Obamas plan will create thousands of decent-paying jobs for Americans. It's gonna cost to get this thing off the ground but I can almost guarantee it will improve the average persons quality of life.
From where I'm watching, the only people spreading all this hate are most likely the oneswith their fingersin the status quo healthcare moneypot, and their brainwashed minions.
Guess we'll have to wait and see.

I'd rather punch an old lady in the face.

Your topic title needs changing,, beyond offensive, thanks.
