In a recent scroll ,"A Lesson In Economics", i lost my temper with an ignorant,insulting poster and got vulgar. To the ignorant,this suggested that i lost the argument. Not so. The ignoramus i lost my patience with was not giving me an argument or any substantial debate. Just insults and propaganda. Any of you who have read any of my previous posts know i am eager for rational discussions about relevant issues and i try, in vain, to reach out to people with different views. I am sorry that i got obscene on what is supposed to be, i think, a civilized forum. But i'm not sorry for the vitriol i spewed at him, the guy deserved it. IGNORANCE IS A HUGE OBSTACLE TOWARD PROGRESS. If you are on this site just to insult people, and not try to communicate on relevant issues, get lost. Some of us are interested in solutions. You want to argue facts, truth, root-causes? Anytime. But that's not what i get from the few ignoramuses on this forum. So i lost my temper. I'm human. But i guess i give the ignorant what they want when i sink to their level. I welcome any suggestions on how to deal with fellow Americans whose minds are closed and hatred strong. Their sheer ignorance is a huge impediment to making things right in this country.

"The guy deserved it" is, for me, a cue to something in you that needs more work.
Ignorant is simply "not knowing." Someone not agreeing with you does not make them ignoramuses--even if you have a ton of evidence. Belief have made them resistant, not ignorance or even stupidity, though those elements are usually present where belief overrides an open look at the facts.
Not a soul on earth is not ignorant. Build a case against ignorance and you both indict and convict yourself.
