I think people are born ignorant but they don't have to stay that way.

There is a difference between ignorance and stupidity. If you're ignorant, you lack information. If you're stupid, you're unable to absorb it. Ignorance can be remedied. Stupidity is terminal.

We are all "stupid" or ignorant when it comes to some subjects.

And speaking if ignorant AND stupid, Obvious-Man strikes again!

What do you do for an encore, explain in excruciating detail which end of a fork to use?(That may actually be useful in your circle of idiots.)

Drive on. You have my permission.

Hanging around STUPID people can be infectious. Not good at all and it does bring out stupid that normally might not occur otherwise.

I love to learn and ask questions.

Agreed, LOL.
If you're hanging with stupid people as a peer group;
it just seems to rub off on ya somehow.
It's happened to me, much to my embarrassment.
It's so easy to be stupid, and was a hard habit to break.
Ahhh, We live and learn.

Watching these "bigfoot" hunters

Yes but it sounds harsh in here. Stupid, moron, idiot... levels of IQ according to testing but I still think it sounds harsh. Don't you?
