IgnoranceI once was in a programming class where the task was "build a calculator". A student did one with buttons 1, 2, 3 all the way up to about 25 and then ran out of space on the screen. We've asked this before but liked it so much we're asking again: What's the best example of ignorance you've encountered?

but in this caseignorant/ˈignərənt/
1. Lacking knowledge or awareness in general; uneducated or unsophisticated: "he was told constantly that he was ignorant and stupid".
2. Lacking knowledge, information, or awareness about something in particular: "they were ignorant of astronomy"
it therefore follows that, in the second definition, the aviation loby and pro avaition MPs' lack of awareness of the impact that the aviation industry has on west london's population in both health and social terms can be said to be 'ignorant'.

"not giving a shit about the plebs"could possibly be wilfull ignorance, but is more likely to be simple not giving a shit. Standard MO for all politicians and business-types.

Not at all.It's possible that they've just reached a different conclusion based on the evidence. I hate to come over all sympathetic to that shower of bastards, but you've not shown that there's anything they don't know that they reasonably might be expected to know.

And if aviation's an industry, shouldn't the Tories be stifling it rather than supporting it?(
