This is how I feel about it. The only ignorance that makes me angry is the ignorance that spawns prejudice and bad will towards others. Granted, this is not always the result of true ignorance, but rather a quite willful determination. Which is infuriating. The latter being more far-ranging and pervasive, from my observation.

For someone not to hold some practical knowledge that I feel they should have doesn't bother me in the least.
