Thanks for the opinion guys! Here's why I even asked:

We went to pizza hut with some friends (one of my friends and her husband) and we were talking about our plan to go to Harry Potter together. Well the husband brought up a pharmacist (that is my favorite) Nathen and how he hated Harry Potter and that he was ignorant. I of course stuck up for him because I believe he has a valid point he is a Christian and he interprets certain things in the bible in a certain way that he believes that it is wrong because it is about witchcraft. (which Erin Uncle Frank and A. Dorothy also believe). Well the husband said well he didn't watch the movies and he didn't read the books so that makes him ignoarant cause he doesn't even really know what they are about. Heres the thing I tend to disagree with that because I don't have to watch a porno to find out that it's conflicts with my views and morals. However I don't care if someone else watches it because maybe they think it's not a sin because of how they look at it, who am I really to judge? I just know I'm not going to do it, does that make me ignorant? He looks at verses and says witchcraft is wrong and Harry Potter is all about witches and wizards which is true I mean I believe that it is more about good verses evil but he is correct they are witches and wizards and I think if he is set in that why would he read the books or watch movies? I personally think that would make him a hypercrite. Plus, who knows maybe it is a sin do I really know? No. I don't feel it is but I could be wrong. Plus, educated decision based on what this is why I hate the word because people use it for everything! What if I base a opinion soley on the bible? Does that make me ignorant isn't that my right? Who's to say that my opinion is wrong? No we all need to be open-minded but not so much that our brains fall out. Now what do ya'all think of this story? Something that I just thought of too is isn't ignorance also just based on opinion? It's such a judgemental word I think. I mean obviously I don't think I'm ignorant but I have been called so as I'm sure we all have. Either everyone is a little ignorant or no one is at all right? Who really knows? For example potitics my goodness how it's thrown around during election time! Nick (lindsay's boyfriend) and I disagree on almost everything in politics! Ya know what though I don't agree with you (Nick) but I don't think your ignorant just that we have different views maybe you are right maybe I am maybe neither one of us. I think though that you are very intellegent and don't just make your views without thinking about them. I think I have decided I am no longer going to use the word ignorant I have formed a real hatred about it. I'm sorry I ever used it for anything. I don't think I ever knew what I was really talking about, I have no right to think someone is ignorant. That's how I will end this long entry, I will ban that word from my vocab.
